Development tools for a better you
This post about acceptance has been rankling around in my brain for weeks now. Funny, because I think that’s kind of what happens when we need to accept something (it takes time and isn’t quite what we expect). Recently I posted about perception and promised a post on how to change your perception. I think […]
Have you ever found something you’d previously written, done, or created and realized you’d found it at just the right moment or suddenly had a whole new perspective on it? Have you ever shocked yourself with your own previous knowledge or understanding? Messages from ourselves can come in a return (I love Buddha Doodles!) Let […]
It is Friday the 13th. Does that send a little shiver through you? Will you do anything different today? Do you consider yourself to be superstitious? Or maybe you think superstition is a bunch of baloney? Personally, I don’t consider myself superstitious. I don’t think things like Friday the 13th (or walking under a ladder, […]
While I was running on the treadmill the other day, I watched part of the Little League World Series. The players were all 11, 12, and 13-year old boys – kids who, for the most part, looked very serious. They acted like grown-ups. And in fact, what they were doing was serious business – they […]

You have just found out your child is cutting (also referred to as self-injury). You are likely feeling shocked, scared, angry, helpless, guilty, disappointed, and at a loss for words. You may be asking yourself, how could this happen? You may be looking at your teen and thinking…Why are you doing this? Are you doing […]

Don’t you wish you knew what makes your teen tick? Wouldn’t you love to be the parent who knows exactly what to say and do in any crisis situation? Can you even imagine the luxury of knowing that your children are perfectly well adjusted, happy and wanting for nothing? Let’s face it; it’s VERY DIFFICULT […]
Are you raising a child who has ADHD? Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a problem with inattentiveness, over-activity, impulsivity, or a combination of both. As a counselor at Life Skills Resource Group I often work with adults and children who are dealing with ADHD. As a parent, dealing with these issues can be overwhelming and […]
