On Parenting a Child with Anxiety

I sometimes get questions from people asking about identifying and treating anxiety in children, in particular social anxiety in children. "What do I do as a parent or teacher? How do I recognize social anxiety disorder in my child?" The short answer is a) be patient and supportive, b) listen to your child, a lot, and c) notice what they do, what their body says…and what they avoid.

Setting an Effective New Year’s Resolution & Proper End-of-Year Self-Evaluation

New Years resolutions can be beneficial for people looking to improve their lives in 2014, but an effective New Year's resolution requires more consideration than we often intentionally dedicate to the task. In order to choose a New Year's resolution that is realistic and achievable, I recommend starting with a good end-of-year self-evaluation.
