Q&A with Clinical Assistant Professor, NYU School of Medicine Chrissy Salley Ph.D In Loving Memory of Salvino Luis Ceballos – July 8, 2015 – June 3, 2023 Luke and Salvino were not great friends.  They played together on occasion, they also fought on occasion, and they certainly had many laughs together.  Whenever they would get into any arguments, me and Salvino’s Dad, Camilo, would just throw our hands in the air and say “let them work it out, they’ll be fine”, and they were.  As they got older and more mature, Salvino and Luke got along better, and they would greet each o ..read more

by Patrick Villanova The ongoing costs of child-rearing can be hard to size up – and digest. The average cost to raise a child in the U.S. is $20,813 annually. By understanding what to expect to pay for a child’s needs, parents can better plan for their family’s financial future. With this in mind, SmartAsset set out to calculate the cost of raising one child in 381 metro areas across the U.S., considering the extra costs of food, housing, childcare, healthcare, transportation and other necessities when a two-adult household adds a child. Key Findings Childcare costs an average of $9,051 ann ..read more

By Nathan Yau In the 1950s, less than 10% of families with children were single-parent. In 2022, among families with children, 31% were single-parent — more than three times as common. The total number of families went up. There were 84.2 million of them in 2022. There was also a growing number of families with children (under 18, living with a parent), but that changed around the time of the Great Recession between 2007 and 2008. After the baby boom through the early 1960s, families had fewer children overall. This is more obvious as a percentage of total families. Divorce is more com ..read more

Not sure how I came across this but it was extremely powerful to watch. I can’t imagine being the mom of a child who was responsible for a mass shooting at a school. It takes a lot of guts to confront people and tell this story and Sue Klebold spent a long time doing just that. She has become an activist to advance mental health awareness and suicide prevention. I wanted to share ..read more

By Colleen Dilthey Thomas My impressions of what motherhood was about before I had children are quite different than what it is really like. I wasn’t so naive that I thought I’d have children who never misbehaved and were the consummate obedient Stepfords, but I certainly never expected a child with a behavioral disorder either. When my son was around 7 years old, we realized that he was different. There was anger and defiance that I recognized were not typical of a boy his age, and were also uncharacteristic of his normally cheerful and sweet demeanor. There were outbursts and ..read more

Q&A with spiritual leader Alessandra Bogner (Read on to find out) Corona! Corona! Corona! What else can anyone say that hasn’t already been said.  It’s changed all of our lives, gave us new perspectives, raised lots of questions about healthcare, safety, government, school protocol and vaccines.  And hopefully made us appreciate life and kindness a little more. We will all be reading about Covid 19 and the 2020 year in history, but I didn’t want to write an article about how challenging the year was, we all got that.  Parents became teachers (and therapists and nurses and mu ..read more

(Q&A with Psychologist Dr. Sarah Trosper Olivo- see what she has to say about when you should let your child have a cell phone) You are outside skateboarding with your two neighborhood friends, a bomb goes off in the Middle East, you’re laughing, skating around, joking with your pals, seeing who can skate the fastest, just having a blast. You don’t care about the bomb in the Middle East because you don’t know about the bomb in the Middle East. You don’t know because the Internet doesn’t exist yet, Twitter, Facebook, non- existent. Oh and there are no cell phones either. Can you remember t ..read more
