About this episode
Our daughter was struggling to get out of bed this morning – struggling to get dressed, struggling to eat breakfast. The trick to dealing with a scenario like this is to check yourself before responding (even if you have to fake that you are not frustrated). If we meet this situation with a sense of calm and trust natural consequences, we may be able to sidestep some possible landmines.
We discuss how to support your loved ones when they are grieving. Todd shares his insights after losing his mother last week.
Power School is an on-line resource that monitors our daughter’s progress at her school on a daily basis. We must balance out the positives and negatives of such a resource and figure out what works best for both parent and child.
We also discuss the best way to create change in your life. The answer is more simple than you think. Sometimes it’s as easy as “do something different.”
