Feeling Anxiety About the New Year?

December 29, 2020 by Amanda Leave a Comment

When I think about NYE, the first thing that comes to mind is attempting to make fun plans that almost always backfire on me.  Who wants to wait for a 9 pm reservation at a restaurant then wander around in the cold in order to find the perfect spot to ring in the new year?   […]

Mental Health During the Holidays

December 21, 2020 by Amanda Leave a Comment

If you’re anything like me, you can begin to feel slightly more overloaded during the holidays emotionally and physically.  It’s like being stuck in a massive time warp + college finals + feeling like you’re constantly forgetting something and next time you look at the calendar (and have recovered from the shockingly fast passage of […]

How to Bring Up Resilient Children

March 15, 2020 by Amanda Leave a Comment

Have you heard the phrase “helicopter parent?” It describes a mother or father that ‘hovers’ around their child 24/7, overseeing their life to keep them from every potential danger, pitfall and mishap. It looks good on paper, but this kind of parenting forgets one important fact of reality: life happens. Adversity happens to all of us. […]

Finding the Sweet Spot: Is Your Child Over-Scheduled?

February 17, 2020 by Amanda Leave a Comment
