Tips to Understand Your Kids' Feelings

Tip of the month - Family

Why It's Important to Have Device-Free Time and Space in Your Relationship

Tip of the month - Couple

Machines that seem to care? Psychologist Sherry Turkle is referring to robots designed to function as companions. But she might as well be referring to Facebook and email and text messaging — all the ways we experience ourselves, via our devices, as the target of other people’s interest. The ding announces an email received and our heart speeds up: someone cares, someone is…

Want to Truly Connect with Your Kids? Establish Device-free Zones

Tip of the month - Family

Is it ever easy to connect with our children, to get them to open up about their lives? Surprisingly, it’s what they yearn for — to be truly seen and heard in all their authentic dreams and hopes and fears. It’s what we all desire, but kids need it differently than we do.

Help Your Kids Learn that "Good Enough" Is Just Fine

Tip of the month - Family

Life is a balancing act as we apportion energy across family, career, personal time, social life, and more. We know we’d drive ourselves crazy if everything we do needed to measure up literally to our “best.” And yet it’s hard to find a parent who doesn’t regularly tell their children, especially when it comes to schoolwork or athletics: always do your best. Not sometimes, not…

Tip of the month - Couple

It happens all the time with our partner: the wish to win the argument, to Be Right, without regard for collateral damage. But too often, my personal “win” becomes a “loss” for us. Despite my victory, we’re feeling disconnected, no closer than when the argument began.
