The past 18 months have been stressful in ever-changing ways.
How have you managed to keep yourself pulled together mentally and emotionally?
I found myself walking or running outdoors. Everyday, and often 2-3 times a day.
Anytime I feel a little edgy or unfocused I throw on some shoes and head outside. 15 minutes is usually enough, but an hour can be amazing!
To learn that neuroscience research shows there is something to this correlation was AMAZING!
It’s a time you and your child have been waiting for — going to preschool!
But after a month, things are not going so smoothly and you’re wondering, “What can be so hard about preschool, and what can I, as a parent, do?”
Your preschool’s staff can be a great resource. These early childhood development professionals are usually very astute at developmental skill trajectories and can identify if your child may need a little specific help.
There are times when Bridging® can be a great resource too. Scroll down to see more about our newest program that you can do with your child at home.
(Don’t have a preschooler? Your friend or relative who does, would love to get these insights, so please share.)
It’s that time of year, and I’ve lived it.
I dreaded seeing the school on caller ID because it was never good news.
The emails and calls come from school to discuss performance and behavior. By now the students should have settled into their routines.
Each year, I was hopeful that my son had matured, and the new teacher or new classroom would be just what he needed for a successful year. (This didn’t happen until he was a sophomore in HS.)
The calls changed after the summer when I did a couple sessions of Bridging® with him.
