Finding a balance between authoritative and gentle parenting styles can be challenging but important. There is a need for reliable and comprehensive parenting resources in the age of social media.

Engaging children in activities and embedding questions can prevent problem behavior. Building relationships with children and knowing their interests can foster positive behavior.

Consistency and positive communication between parents and teachers are crucial for effective collaboration. Behavior can be changed at any age with the right strategies and support.

  • Validating Holiday Stressors with Amber Moore

    Validating Holiday Stressors with Amber Moore
    Dec 14 2023

    Today I had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely and talented school psychologist, Amber Moore! She is a new school psych friend of mine from Instagram, and I have been admiring her beautiful, functional office decor creations for some time. She has a shop on Etsy, and I will share the link, below.

    Recently, Amber and I have connected regarding the many stressors that folks experience during the holidays. The holidays aren't always happy, and we honor doing what is needed to feel safe and respected. Our Instagram followers provided some ideas for us to discuss. Today, we talk about handling the holidays in the shadow grief and loss, avoiding shame regarding lifestyle or financial status, and creating new traditions. Key takeaway: Boundaries are magical, as are scripts to prepare what to say when you feel cornered.
