Creating a Home Learning Environment
September 21, 2020by admin
Many school districts have opted to start this school year with virtual learning, and parents are scrambling to create space in their homes to accommodate this. You may have an extra room in your home, or you may have a chair at the kitchen table. Both can be turned into an effective learning environment. Here...
An Unprecedented School Year
July 29, 2020by admin
This July, like each July prior, the stores have their Back To School sections ready to go. This July however, there is less excitement and more fear. There are mixed feelings about going back to school for many families. Parents and kids may be hesitant to run out and buy new supplies. When schools closed...
The world is a tough place right now. Already this year our national and global community has been faced with fires in Australia, the novel Coronavirus, racism and injustice, and severe economic decline—and it’s only June. On top of all of this, your individual family may be facing job loss, homelessness, divorce, adoption, parental incarceration,...
Parenting During A Pandemic
April 2, 2020by admin
I’ve had friends reach out about parenting during a pandemic. They assume that because I am a social worker and because I’ve got two little guys of my own, that I’ve got this handled. Truth is, I don’t. None of us do. Parenting during a pandemic is hard. When the country began closing down over...

November 5, 2019by admin
“Hey Mom, I don’t feel good. Can you pick me up?” With school having started, it is my guess that many parents have already seen this text message from their child. As kids have more technology available to them, it has become easier for them to reach out to parents with a quick phone call...
Hands down, one of the best qualities to help our children blossom is resilience. Even if they are slower to warm up to change, if they have a resilient core, they will adapt to whatever life throws at them. Since resilience is not an easily quantifiable trait, it may seem impossible to teach. Many believe...
TRUE TO YOU
July 25, 2015by admin
I recently have noticed a developing trait in both my boys. While I consider them to be fairly compliant to my rules, they both have a streak of independence running through them that expresses at the most inopportune moments. When I ask them to do something, they know they have to do it, but they...
