Children’s Constant Questions
“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” - Nietzsche
Building Emotional Resilience
This morning I yelled at my kids. We were very late for school and they thought it would be hilarious to lock themselves in the bathroom and not open the door. I felt guilty after, but decided to be even later for school to prioritise an important lesson.
Practicing Gratitude
Research consistently shows that showing gratitude improves mental and physical health. During childhood, the plasticity of the brain results in these effects being even greater, as the developing mind is influenced by these positive effects.
Self Care
When I think back on the time after the birth of my second kid, I think of a time I wouldn’t want to relive. Total and absolute chaos, physical agony, survival mode. My husband snapped this pic and I liked it, so I posted it without much thought.
