In Support of Families

How important is the quality of your relationship to the other parent of your children?  Whether you are together or not, the way you interact with the other parent has profound impact on your children.  It can provide security and be a positive example or cause stress and anxiety.  In this episode I share recommendations on how to keep your commitment to focus on the best interests of your children while maintaining a relationship best adapted to your situation.

Some would argue that families have failed.  As we begin this theme of Commitment, let's examine the research on what is best for children and the role of families in providing those needs.  Parents today are facing challenges no previous generation had to deal with and they need to be strengthened, not replaced.  We need families now more than we ever did before.

Any time you have two people sharing living space, you will have conflict.  It is inevitable.  Conflict is not the same as contention.  Conflict just means a difference of opinion.  Contention brings a negative atmosphere into the home, something no family needs.  In this episode I talk about how you can resolve family conflicts while avoiding contention.

Is your mind’s busy chatter a disease needing a cure?  Janese Adair, Mindfulness Expert and Community Outreach Coordinator for Sky Tripping, joins me in this episode to talk about the mental health benefits of using nature to help us learn to slow down.  She also shares her knowledge of attachment theory and how it can help us understand ourselves better and strengthen our relationships with our loved ones.
