Frog Patience |
I believe that dragonflies can show us the way to help our children shine with wonder and light in their environment. I have guided parents for the past thirty years in parenting education. I draw upon my roles as both mother and grandmother, therapist and healer and mother and daughter. I hope that you will enjoy these blogs as much as I love being a parent and grandparent. All of the art unless otherwise noted is created by me.

Interesting article in the May/June issue of the Scientific American Mind titled Where's Dad by Paul Raeburn.

Guess what, there is new research that states that an engaged Dad whether, living at home or not, is a critical factor to their daughter's mental health.

You may have seen adults doing strange things like tapping on different parts of their face and body. This strange ritual called Tapping helps to create a more relaxed state. We can also teach our children this tapping routine so that they
can help themselves to deal with tough emotions of anger, sadness and other emotions very quickly. It is an easy technique to learn and can be used over and over again. Please check out the following youtube video.
