Raising Kids

“One generation full of deeply loving parents would change the brain of the next generation, and with that, the world.” ~Dr. Charles Raison

Harness Your Superpowers with Dr. Robert Zeitlin

Hey Guys. Allow me to let you in on a little secret — I don’t have a lot of time. Okay, that’s not really a secret and according to my husband, I b*tch, complain, and preach about it far and wide to anyone within earshot at every opportunity. Am I a martyr? I’m not trying to be,…

Only a Child Can See Magic Inside of Hospital Walls

08/28/2018 Leave a Comment

“This is magic.” Only a child would say something like that while walking the halls of a children’s hospital. We had just exited the elevator taking us from the registration floor up to the pre-op level for my daughter’s scheduled surgery –a tonsillectomy, a frenotomy (lip-tie cut), and a myringotomy (ear tube replacement). When we…

When Our Children Lock Us Out

08/26/2018 Leave a Comment

This morning my two-year-old locked me out of my house. I stepped out back on our patio to let our aging Labradors out to relieve themselves. While I usually leave the back door open so that I can hear my kids fighting for the three to five minutes that I am not in the room,…

I Get the Worst of You

08/21/2018 Leave a Comment

I claim (and complain) that I get the worst of you, but the truth is that I get the best of you. I get the you who is on the journey. I get the you who is slightly naive and curious. I get the you who is learning and growing. I get the you who is…

So God Made You (and You and You)

08/19/2018 Leave a Comment

I thought I knew what was important in life. So God made you (and you and you) to show me what important looks, sounds, and breathes like. I thought I knew how to recognize beauty. So God made you (and you and you) to show me that beauty can look different and make you feel different…

Today, My Children and I Wrote a Story

08/12/2018 Leave a Comment

Today, my daughter and I wrote a story. So did my son and I. Let’s start with what prompted this: Last night, my daughter said something that hurt a bit. She said that she needs more attention and that I am always saying “one second” or “in a minute”. I sat there on the floor…

A Letter to My Child’s Teacher as a New School Year Approaches

08/07/2018 Leave a Comment

Hi There, I’m so-and-so’s Mama Bear, but I think you already knew that when I showed up twenty minutes early to “Meet the Teacher” and made a beeline for the front row center seat inside of your impeccable classroom which I was sure to study from the moment I walked in. Yep, that’s me, being…
