When you’re talking to your kids about embarrassing health issues, keep these things in mind:
1. It may be far more embarrassing for you than it is for them, so try to talk in a way that communicates “this is no big deal -- nothing to be embarrassed about,” and you will be much more effective. Pretend you are simply talking to your kids about what they had for lunch at school, how their soccer ...

Many families worry when their babies receive vaccines. Some of the concerns are the pain and possible side effects from the shots. I break down normal vaccine reactions into two main types.
The first is a local reaction: mild redness and/or swelling at the injection site. This very common, normal reaction will usually subside in the first day or so. Applying a cool compress may be helpful to reduce the inflammation. Severe swelling or ...

· Put aside sheets you will use for your guests; bundle them together in a nice ribbon if they are not staying in a guest room, but may be using your pull out sofa or using an air mattress.
· Put aside towel sets and bundle them with ribbon, so they know which ones are for them; try and make sure they are very different from the ones your family may use, so the family knows they ...

Having strong abdominal muscles is important for men and women alike, however it is especially important for women when they become pregnant. If your abdominal muscles are flabby it forces the back muscles to compensate by taking on extra work to support the spine. When you are pregnant and carrying extra weight the lower back is strained even more, so the stronger your abdominals are the easier it will be on your lower back.
Most ...
HONORING YOUR TRUTH
Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do. ~Benjamin Spock
Throughout the course of pregnancy into motherhood, people (with the best intentions) are going to project their views and ways onto you. It can get pretty overwhelming and confusing listening to others thoughts and opinions about how they did it or what they think is right. However what might be right for them might not be or feel right to ...
My son is super competitive. He is a great athlete but has a terrible time losing. It’s frustrating because even if he scores all of the touchdowns in football, he gets so upset if he misses one pass. He focuses on the negative and even if he plays really well, he’s crushed if his team loses. He is so hard on himself and he is only 6! We discuss the usual, “it’s ...

How can I break the cycle of yo yo dieting?
So glad you asked this question because it comes up so frequently and it is a subject so close to my heart.
Yo-yo dieting is more of a behavior pattern vs. a hunger issue, so I have my clients begin with the following:
1. Observe: Journal your eating: what you eat, what times & what is going on for you emotionally while you’re eating.
2 ...

The terms bridal shower and wedding shower are sometimes used interchangeably, but times have changed. There's the new twist, and that has to do with the growing co-ed shower trend.
Wedding planners generally make a designation between ladies only showers and co-ed showers by referring to one as "bridal" (female only) and the other as "wedding" (men included). Co-ed showers are less intimate and more event-oriented. Themes like "Las Vegas Weekend," or "Indianapolis 500 ...

I do not like my body post baby, especially my belly, but I don’t have time to exercise?
I understand your frustration; let me say it loudly… I have a post baby belly! That’s right… maybe you would like to call it a muffin top but whatever your preference it’s there. It’s there looking up at me all the time and it can even frustrate someone who knows how to change ...

My hair is really thin and color treated. Shampoos and conditioners made for color-treated hair make it feel heavier and volumizing products make it look even drier. HELP!
Are you ‘suffering’ from really thin hair that is color treated? Do shampoos and conditioners formulated for color-treated hair ‘weigh it down’ or make it feel heavy? Do volumizing products make it look and feel really dry? I can most certainly understand where you're coming from ...

I‘d love my 2-year-old twins to develop an appreciation for music. How do you suggest I go about starting a collection? Song by song? By artist? It feels overwhelming!
I’m glad you want to start your children early on a music collection. Just as you introduce small amounts of many different types of food to your toddlers, you would want to do the same with music.
The best place to begin is with ...

I have a single mom neighbor, Sally, who is just around too much. She often drops in with her daughter at dinnertime, expecting to be fed and entertained. We don't have that much in common with her -- she doesn't read books, she thrives on celebrity gossip, and she's always on a manhunt.
But she's decided that we are her friends and we feel stuck. Now she has this new man in ...
