Learn How to Parent Adolescents With the Power of Understanding


    
Austin, TX, October 31, 2022
 — Psychology Today parenting expert Carl Pickhardt hopes to help keep parents ahead of the curve when it comes to understanding the stages of adolescence in his new book, Holding On While Letting Go: Parenting Your Child Through the Four Freedoms of Adolescence. 

“When parents choose to have a child, they have agreed to have an adolescent,” Dr. Pickhardt said. “So effective parenting partly depends on being able to anticipate common teenage changes.”

Holding On While Letting Go is a toolkit of ideas that offers an estimate of teenage tendencies, different ways for parents to think about what is happening and why it is happening, and how they might want to respond. 

Dr. Pickhardt shares four unfolding freedoms and provides tips to help parents navigate these challenging times. 

The four unfolding freedoms include:
1. Freedom from rejection of childhood, around the late elementary school years, when they want to stop acting and being treated as children. 
2. Freedom of association with peers, around the middle school years, when they want to form a second family of friends. 
3. Freedom for older experimentation, around the high school years, when they want to try more grown-up activities. 
4. Freedom to claim emancipation, around the college age years, when they decide to become their own ruling authority. 

“Counseling with many families over many years, I believe there is a continuing need for parents to be informed about common changes that adolescence brings for the teenager and for themselves,” said Dr. Pickhardt. “I hope this book serves that purpose.” 

Dr. Pickhardt’s message is clear: with each successive push for freedom, both parents and teens need to learn how to do less holding on to each other while doing more letting go. Readers will learn the way with compassion, experience and time-tested guidance.

11 Fun & Engaging Family Rituals

  



Think back to your childhood and your happiest memories with your family. More often than not, those memories will involve a ritual you had with your parents, siblings, or extended family. Did you have a special handshake with your uncle? Did your grandma always give you a dollar before you left her house? Were Friday nights always movie night? Whatever you did, it obviously had an effect. The ritual made you feel a part of your family and endeared you to them. As a parent, make sure to give your children the same experience by creating rituals with them. 

IMPORTANT: As the parent, it’s your job to get the ritual started. However, make it your kids’ responsibility to create the actual ritual. Involving them in the creation process will make it infinitely more likely that they will stay engaged with your ritual instead of complaining about it. 

 

  1. Rotating Family Dinners

Okay, having dinner as a family is an unoriginal idea. But it doesn’t have to be! Once a week, switch things up by making a different person in the family “in charge” of dinner. They pick the menu, help cook, and even decorate if they’d like. This gets kids in the habit of helping with chores, making their own food, and creating family rituals. Plus, you know at least one kid will be happy with the food that’s served that night ;)
 

  1. Rotating Movie Nights
    Similar to family dinners, let each person in the family be in charge of what’s showing for family movie night. It’s a good idea to make a “no complaining” rule (adults included!) so that you kids aren’t afraid to express their interests and opinions. Sure, not everyone will like every movie that’s picked. But respecting everyone’s choices and participating in something another person enjoys are important skills to have. 

     

  2. Game Night
    Game nights provide all kinds of benefits. They teach teamwork, problem-solving, and how to be a gracious winner and loser. But game nights can get intense, depending on the family. Try to keep these things in mind before you bust out the Monopoly board.

    1. Pair up older, more experienced players with younger ones. Try to make each team as even as possible.

    2. Let teams be excited when they win, but don’t let them gloat. Shake hands and move on. If they go overboard, call them out and make them apologize. (That goes for adults, too.)

    3. Same goes for losing. People can most certainly be sad (and may even need a moment to deal with big feelings), but always bring them back around to shaking hands with the winners and expressing happiness that they won. Call out excessive moping, and don’t let people quit if they see they are going to lose.
       

  3. Yearly Non-Holidays

Find fun, family-oriented reasons to celebrate that aren’t federally recognized holidays.

  1. Revisit an old vacation spot. Make new memories to add to the new ones. Declare it “Lake Day,” “Theme Park Day,” or “Hike Up A Mountain Day.”

  2. Find unofficial holidays that would mean something to your family and participate in them each year. For example, watch “Star Wars” on May 4 or talk like a pirate on September 19.

  3. Did something go wrong in the past, but it’s a story that’s retold in your family over and over again? Celebrate it! “The Minivan Broke Down Day” or “We Survived a Terrible Camping Trip Day” can all be celebrated by an honorary activity and a retelling of the bad experience. Watch as it oddly brings everyone together. 
     

  1. Shopping Duties
    Going to the grocery store doesn’t have to be a bore. Give your child or children specific items to look for and pick up. And don’t just shove the child in the cart and have them point to the object on the shelf. Engage them physically in the task by having them retrieve the item and put it in the cart. This gives them something to do and a role in a task they would otherwise be left out of.

     

  2. Bathtime Parade
    Depending on the child, bathtime can be exciting or tear-inducing. Regardless, involve your kids in making a bathtime song, chant, dance, or rhyme. It can help them with the transition from whatever they are doing to cleanup time. If your child is a reluctant bath taker, this is something that should heavily involve their creativity. If you as the parent are making up the song and expecting it to help, it probably won’t. The excitement will come from your child making up the lyrics, words, or dance moves. 

     

  3. Nighttime Rituals
    Similar to bathtime, going to bed can be a chore for parents. Create a bedtime routine that prepares everyone to settle down for the night. Here are a few ideas for you to consider. 

    1. Dentist Robot – Instead of mom or dad assisting with brushing, transform yourself into a robot who specializes in dental hygiene. Make recurring, purposeful mistakes to get them giggling about how silly you are and how knowledgeable they are about their teeth. 

    2. Book Machine – Become a giant claw machine for books. Ask your kids to pick the books they want to read and mechanically grab them from the bookshelf. 

    3. Bedtime Handshake – Before you leave the room, give your children a special handshake. It can be as complex or as simple as they want it to be. It can also be unique for each child, or you can all decide to have a “family handshake” that’s special to just your family unit. 

    4. Prayers or Gratitude List – If you are a religious family, have your children take part in nighttime prayers. If you aren’t, take a moment with them to run through five things they are thankful for.
       

  4. Birthday “Campouts”
    No tents are required for birthday campouts. All you need is a new location. Whether it’s the basement, the living room, or the actual great outdoors, celebrate your children’s birthdays by spending the night together on a “campout.” These can look however you’d like. Eat snacks, tell stories, watch a movie, or roast marshmallows. Build a blanket fort, sleep in sleeping bags, or drag mattresses to the floor. Invite friends, make it family-only, or have them one-on-one. Whatever you decide, it will be done in celebration of someone you love. 

     

  5. Family Chore Time
    Make one morning or night of the week Family Chore Time. Give everyone age-appropriate jobs to do, crank up some music, and spend the morning working (and dancing!) together to get your home back in order. Dance, lipsync, and create a custom playlist that everyone in the family helps curate. It’s up to you on if chores rotate, what happens when their list is done, or whether or not there are opportunities for extra work they can get paid to do. When you’re done, celebrate! You can decide on what that looks like. It can be as simple as eating lunch immediately after or indulging in a scoop of ice cream. 

     

  6. Routine “Days of Service”
    As a family, pick a cause you care about. Then, regularly serve in a way that addresses that problem. Don’t be afraid to attach your day of service to a big, potentially uncomfortable topic. Regular exposure can help you answer questions they may have and engage with the topic on a practical level. Pick something that’s hands on instead of passive activities that don’t engage your child. For example, thoughtfully and intentionally picking out clothes for another person will engage your children on a much deeper level than if you did it for them and told them about it afterward. 

 

Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list. It’s also not a checklist. If one of these ideas doesn’t work for your family, no worries! There are infinite ways to produce rituals that will bring your family together. All you need to do is think about what kinds of rituals you want to establish and involve your family in creating them. So get started, and have fun!

Teaching The ABCs Through Beekeeping

 


As a teacher of older three year old children I loved B Is For Beekeeping An Alphabet Book. My current class is very different. I have a few who know their alphabet but not everyone is there but I loved this book particularly for the few that do.  To go over the alphabet when you are very aware of each letter can be very boring but even my always bored during letter time kids LOVED it.



Did you know one-third of the food we eat gets pollinated by honeybees? Honeybees are critical to our ecosystem. By purchasing this book, you are helping children learn the important role that honeybees play in our world. Additionally, your purchase benefits the protection of all bees! B is for Beekeeping will be making a special donation to organizations that help preserve bees and their habitats.

The class were all so interested in the "New" vocabulary a the very bright, cute illustrations. Who knew you could come up with an entire alphabet book based on beekeeping?



My entire class loves looking at the Queen Bee and all her little "babies". I loved learning about Royal Jelly a food made by the worker bees for the larvae who will grow up to be queens.

Very interesting and a fun way to teach my kids who do and don't know their letters.

I Have Found The Best Stocking Stuffer


OMG I love love love my back scratched. It's weird because as a child I remember my dad asking us to scratch his back and he always wanted it really scratched. He was always itchy.  His back was so gross with all kinds of bumps and hair. What is it about a back scratch? My back is always itchy, but it also feels good and gives me chills. I will use anything. A pen, a plastic fork, a brush, the wall, my fingernails, a pencil, anything!!! Nothing ever scratches enough. My daughter is always afraid she will hurt me, my husband does hurt me...ugh why is it so difficult?! NOW I have the Bearback Scratcher. It isn't like those dumb wood ones that just don't scratch or those stupid metal finger ones that look like they can scratch but don't. Is anyone else like this with their back because I can go on and on!?

The Bearback Scratcher is long and can really reach plus it has an easy to hold handle. I LOVE IT! It feels like a brush but the bristles are closer together and smaller, it can be used wet or dry and folds up for easy travel or to store. 

bearback Scratcher Highlights:

  • Built with a non-slip grip
  • Makes it easy to access those hard to reach places
  • Gentle on skin
  • Use on backs, legs–anywhere!
  • Ergonomic curve provides the perfect amount of pressure
  • Foldable design is made for travel and easy storage
  • Extends to 17” from 9.5”
  • Interchangeable design with 4 attachments for all self-care needs

After you’ve satisfied your itch, swap out the scratcher for one of three other attachments: the Massage Roller, Lotion Roller, or Dry Brush.

 

 

$21.97 for the bearback Scratcher, $8.97 for additional attachments

FROST - Starring Vernon Wells, Devanny Pinn - Is Out Today October 11 #horror

 

A review:

So this movie just angered me. OK...wait let me start again. If I was watching just for entertainment, it was ok. I would say that for entertainment purposes not a review I would have watched this movie with my family and been ok with it. My 17 year old and I watched it together. We did zero reading about the movie and had no idea what it was about or who the actors were. The wolf on the cover told us that there are wolves in the movie. Well there was a wolf in one scene but that was about it.

In a nutshell a pregnant heads to her estranged father's house. There is some obvious bad history with his drinking and now he is saddled with this baby who he is sure is a boy. They go fishing but not before he tells her to leave her phone home because she has been attached to it or some jazz. We never really see her on it much but what other reason would she have to NOT have her phone on her? Anyway while driving and talking it's obvious that he can't multitask because they crash. Well not only crash but part of a tree goes through the daughter. Dad has to head out and get help but not before telling her all the bad things that will happen, the cold, how her body temp will drop, the fact that she will hallucinate, so many things. Yes sir, this is how we leave your very scared, pregnant daughter. Tell her everything that can possibly happen. 

Well things just go from bad to worse. On day one she tells the baby she has to eat so apologizes and eats a worm. Day two she goes into labor, Day three...I don't even want to spoil it but man....it angered me to no end. Still mad about it. 

If this is your jam, do it! Be prepared. There is so much I can add but will leave it here. Leave me a comment if you want more.

Safety at School for Kids with Food Allergies #allergies

 Safety at School for Kids with Food Allergies

Child food allergies are no joke. And if you thought you noticed an uptick in the number of children dealing with allergies, you’re not wrong. In fact, the rate has increased by 50% since the 1990s. That means there are 50% more parents trying to understand how their child’s allergies will affect their everyday lives. A big part of that is making sure they are safe at school.

Here is some information about common food allergies and how to partner with your child’s teacher and school. There are also resources if you’re a parent whose child has a food allergy. 

*This article is not meant to replace a consultation with a doctor. If you think your child has food allergies, contact your pediatrician.

Common Child Food Allergies

People can be allergic to a lot of different foods. However, the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) says that eight common foods make up 90% of food allergic reactions in the United

States. Those foods are (starting with the most common):

  • Milk.

  • Eggs.

  • Fish.

  • Shellfish (such as crab, lobster, and shrimp).

  • Tree nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans).

  • Peanuts.

  • Wheat.

  • Soybeans.

 

Symptoms can be very different for each kind of allergy. If you think your child may be having an allergic reaction to a certain food, be on the lookout for: 

  • Hives or a rash.

  • Coughing, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.

  • Dizziness/lightheadedness.

  • Tingling or itchy sensation in the mouth.

  • Swelling of the throat, face, tongue, lips, or vocal cords.

  • Vomiting and/or diarrhea.

  • Stomach/abdominal cramps.

  • Loss of consciousness.

 

If you’ve done much research on food allergies, you probably have run across the term “food intolerances.” What’s the difference? The simplified explanation is that intolerances don’t trigger the immune system and allergies do. The symptoms related to food intolerances are usually less severe, too. That doesn’t mean your child’s quality of life won’t suffer because of a food intolerance. It just means their life won’t be threatened by it, where an allergy can trigger a “go to the hospital now” episode of anaphylaxis.

Partner With Your Teacher & School

For parents whose children have food allergies, life is already stressful. The constant monitoring is a full-time job. So it’s understandable if the thought of handing that responsibility over to a teacher or daycare worker is overwhelming.

As difficult as it will feel, it’s vital to trust the other adults in your quest to keep food allergens away from your child. You’ll need the extra help, especially when your child is little.

  1. Before your child ever sets foot in the door, contact their school, preschool, or daycare. Schedule a meeting months (seriously, months) before kids go back to school. Communicate with the teacher, but ask to talk with the school’s nurse, too. Share your home emergency plan with them. They will help you fill out all the necessary paperwork to create a school health care plan.

    1. Don’t worry about schools brushing your concerns to the side. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), public or private schools that get funds from the federal government have to provide accommodations for kids with food allergies. 

  2. Make a food allergy card for your child. Teachers and school staff can use it as a reference. Your child can also hand it to whomever they need to instead of having to memorize all the details of their allergy. 

  3. Let the teacher know they can call whenever they have questions about your child’s health.

 

Resources

Especially when your child is little, managing food allergies can be a daunting task. Here are a few resources that could help you navigate the topic of food allergies a little easier. 

  • Common Allergens 101 – If you’re new to the world of food allergies, this is a great place to learn the basics.

  • Food Allergy Emergency Checklist – This is a good action plan if your child should ever eat something they are allergic to. (Consult with your pediatrician to make sure there aren’t any missing steps you should take for your child’s unique situation.)

  • “Stop. Look. Ask. Go.” Training for Kids – This simple training helps you teach your preschooler the importance of their food allergies and what to do before they eat food that isn’t prepared by you.

  • “Managing Food Allergies at School” Resource Page – This site gets you started on all the forms and questions you should have before and after talking with your child’s school, preschool, or daycare. 

Like any lifelong health issue, food allergies can feel like an overwhelming amount of work. Thankfully, there are resources that can help parents as they do their best to take care of their child’s health concerns. There is a community to support you that includes your child’s teacher and school. Lean into the additional help offered to you, and know you’re not in this alone.
