Reflections :: Appreciation Day
I made up a brand new holiday last week. Throughout this coming year, I’ve decided I will celebrate “Appreciation Day” on the fifteenth of every month. It is the one day of the month that I am committed to “tending myself”, to treating myself with what we therapists call unconditional positive regard.

An entire day in a conscious attempt to truly accept and love yourself for no other reason than because you deserve appreciation. It turned out to be tougher than it sounds. In depth psychology there is a primary understanding of…

Some of them have been specifically created by the designer with that person in mind. They are usually…

PBS Kids Releases CyberChase Shape Quest!
I was just speaking with one of the moms today at drop off about how I really want to encourage my daughter in math because I really was so afraid of it all throughout elementary school on through college. I am not sure where it stemed from but I have been pleasantly surprised and happy to see that she is not having any issues with math – in fact, she prefers math to reading. So I can’t wait to try the Cyberchase Shape Quest, a new app for iPad with her this afternoon. The app is based on the Emmy Award®-winning series, Cyberchase. Kids, ages 6-9, are invited to follow popular characters Buzz…
