A recent study found that training parents in managing their child’s anxiety was just as effective in reducing anxiety symptoms as direct child therapy.

“My heart was warmed at Wal-Mart during lunch.

This gentleman's items were scanned and he was given the total. He looks apologetically back at me and starts taking handfuls of change out of his pockets.

He miscounts and starts to get flustered. Gives me a muttered, "I'm so sorry." His hands and voice are shaking.

This beautiful cashier takes his hands dumps all the change on the counter and says, "This is not a problem, honey. We will do this together."

He continues to apologize to both of us as we reassure him it's ok. They get his transaction handled and he shuffles away.

I looked at this wonderful woman and said, "Thank you for being so patient with him."

She shakes her head and replies, "You shouldn't have to thank me, baby. What's wrong with our world is we've forgotten how to love one another."

I want to be more like her.”

Transition time is a great time for mathematizing a daily routine. This dot card transition is a relatively simple routine that builds number sense in a concrete way.

Factors from all 5 of the #SelfReg domains can contribute to stress. This multiplying effect can create a stress cycle that is hard to break free from. Remember, not all stress is obvious, hidden stressors are everywhere.

How a child develops and displays executive functioning skills is related to how we react to their big emotions.
