Revisiting Sweet Valley High is a Balm for My Pandemic-Weary Soul

October 20, 2020 By Gina Rich

20 Oct

  If my 1980s childhood were a museum exhibit, it would feature jelly shoes, Noxzema cleansing cream, and dozens of dog-eared Sweet Valley High books. My middle school friends and I consumed this young adult series like we guzzled Slurpees. Sweet Valley High chronicled the lives of Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, identical twin sisters who lived in a fictional, sun-drenched,…

September 3, 2020 By Sheryl Gould

3 Sep

Communicating with our teenagers can be a challenge. At times, it can seem impossible to get them to open up and talk to us. When we’re lucky and they finally do, they can say some things that are really hard for us to hear. When our child says something that upsets us, it’s easy to feel like we’ve blown it…

If you’re a mom of a boy - you are well aware th If you’re a mom of a boy - you are well aware that there is no manual that can possibly prepare you for the unique joys and challenges of raising a son.⠀

Totally feeling this way today! How about you?❤️ ❤️ ❤️
All behavior is purposeful, meaning there is a rea All behavior is purposeful, meaning there is a reason when our kids lash out and are hurtful.⠀
Anger oftentimes a secondary emotion. Hurt can often be lurking underneath the surface. ⠀
Next time your tween or teen is hurtful, be curious about what might be going on underneath the surface versus just reacting back. ⠀
When our kids are upset we can shift that interaction by being a parent who tunes in and cares. ⠀
We can say things like, "Wow. That hurt. I see you're upset. What's going on?"

Hey Mamas,⠀ Gosh, these things are so important Hey Mamas,⠀
Gosh, these things are so important to instill in our sons, and yet I know how it can be hard at this age to get them to talk or want to hang out with you. And I just want you to know as a mom whose son is older now, how normal that is. Here's a word of wisdom from my experience - don't let your son pulling away or not talking to you get in the way of you leaning in and carving out intentional time with him - go for a drive, take a trip to Starbucks, volunteer together, nag less, listen way way way more, and connect around what interests him. Find whatever works because believe me, deep down he wants you to. XOXO
