A Day In The Life Of An Academic Mom
How Solo Single Moms Can Raise Confident, Healthy Sons "The notion that any dad is better than no dad is nonsense." " psychologists agree that boys do not require constant male guidance to grow up confident and healthy. In fact, a dad living at home who is a poor role model typically does more harm than good. If a biological dad is unfailingly neglectful, physically or emotionally abusive or just plain unloving, his son is most likely better off without his dad’s influence."

The Parenting Trend That Is Harming Us All
My Daughter Doesn’t Have To ‘Shut Up,’ And Neither Do You, 'Because there is nothing wrong with “being loud.” There is nothing wrong with eagerness and expressiveness. There is nothing wrong with enthusiasm and curiosity, and there is nothing wrong with her." I grew up having a parent that constantly tell me to shut up, when she didn't have the time, the energy or any motivation, when she didn't want to hear from me, good or bad. I won't repeat this type of absolute respect. I have respect for my son and know that he is a person, a mind, a voice, a soul and a heart to express himself freely and lovingly. My role as his mother is to love him and listen to him regardless. His words matter, his thoughts matter, his feelings matter.

Your child is not your confidant.
An Exercise in Self Compassion
It’s Time To Stop The Stigma Around Couples Therapy "Problems, mistakes, and disappointments are difficult to reveal for everyone. Recognizing trauma for what it is, respecting, and letting go of shame is a huge part of therapeutic work. It takes courage to reveal. It takes trust to be vulnerable. It takes humility to consider another perspective." healers: thank you for being my angels.
Escape to another world "As video games get better and job prospects worse, more young men are dropping out of the job market to spend their time in an alternate reality." I grew up video game free in an saturated video game world. I admitted I was missing out when I saw the kid in class next to me was playing game boy. I am glad that I grew up video game free... what can I do to balance that in my kiddo's world?
