“I can’t do it mommy!” When my child was a toddler, she used this phrase . . . a lot. Our tiny humans are grappling with learning (and perfecting) many new tasks. However, they don’t always know how to persevere because they lack the resilience and practical skills to dust themselves off and try again. Does your child also give up on new or challenging tasks too easily instead of sticking with them? While this is normal, it’s also important to consider how we can raise our little ones to persist and persevere to improve their overall well-being and future outcomes. In this article, we’ll expl ..read more

How To Raise a Body-Positive Kid

One of the things that worries me most as a mom and a psychologist is children’s body image issues. I have two little girls, and seeing the rise of social media, the accessibility of technology, and the exposure to filters (or other ways of curating images of perfection) concerns me. Children are diverse, as are their bodies. But social media often creates or dictates unrealistic standards of bodies and what’s considered beautiful. As parents, it’s our responsibility to foster and develop a space where our kids experience a positive body image and can learn to love and appreciate their unique ..read more

This question surprised me because she was pregnant with her second child. Her first childbirth experience was an induction, but she knew what contractions felt like. However, the more I thought about this question, the more I realized many expecting moms have asked me this, “Will I really know when I’m in labor?” So, I thought it would be a good time to review the signs that labor is starting so you ..read more

It’s easy to get stuck in a parenting rut, and let’s face it: parenting can sometimes feel a little like “Groundhog Day” — the same routines on repeat day in, day out. While routine and structure are incredibly important for our children (and us!), we can sometimes forget to have fun. We feel tired and don’t have the energy to get down on the ground and play with our kids, or we’ve simply forgotten how to let go, be spontaneous and whimsical, and use our imaginations. However, playful parenting can be an important tool or approach when it comes to raising our children. What Is Playful Parenti ..read more

I remember going clothes shopping with my toddler and standing in the aisle for ages (and I mean ages) while she picked a new winter jacket. I heard some whispered comments from other shoppers, some curious and some unkind, about why on earth I was humoring my toddler with a choice of jackets. For me, it was simple — I was showing my little one that I respect and value her opinion. But for others, it seemed I was giving her too much say. So, why is teaching our children to be little adults important? And how should parents treat their child with respect? Here, I’ll explain how to be the adult ..read more
