Understanding your child's emotions is the key to developing a meaningful parenting strategy. However, many young children often do not possess the vocabulary to adequately express their feelings. A great way to introduce emotions is through children's picture books. Reading these books with your child teaches them to identify and adequately cope with their feelings, leading them toward a better grasp of emotional regulation. My personal favorite books to start off this path on are The Pigeon Has Feelings, Too! by Mo Willems and The Crayons' Book of Feelings by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers. If your child is really struggling with their emotions, feel free to book an appointment using the link in our bio.

Forgiveness has been proven to alleviate cortisol levels in our bodies once practiced. This results in a lowered risk of heart attack and high blood pressure. People also experience less anxiety, depression, and stress. Forgiveness is a powerful emotion that, although we may not want to practice it, prepares us for healthier relationships later in life. While it is tempting to hold grudges, it is ultimately detrimental to our health and well-being to do so. By finding a trustworthy counselor or therapist, your road to forgiveness is already being paved.

Motivation drives us. It leads up to build relationships, achieve our dreams, and do our laundry. Without this drive, we fall into pits of anxiety and depression. The simplest form of motivation is often found in the tasks we complete daily (often without thinking of them as tasks). We get dressed, brush our teeth, and eat breakfast. However, the duties deemed "difficult" are often the hardest ones to motivate ourselves to accomplish.
Using the steps outlined in our post, you can train your brain to seek the rewarding feeling of completing these tasks. These tactics will condition your brain to desire to cross things off your mental checklists, offering a more satisfied outlook on life.
