Inspiration: Put the Fun in Dysfunctional
Practical Parenting
Dysfunction anyone? Wow, who would of thought that work would be such a welcome and novel idea.
Week one of being a home school teacher. Trying to figure out how to run a household, a business, teach, be a chef, housekeeper, and all the other day to day chores common to life amongst COVID 19. Face masks, rubber gloves, pots, and pans oh my…
I left teaching two decades ago when I became a psychotherapist. Working with children individually is pretty easy, unless they are your own, then they just gang up on you. But that is our lot in life. I didn’t know that raising two meant the exponentially multiplied?

This week, I will be broadcasting YouTube Live events to answer general questions about mental health and practical parenting. These live sessions are free and will air on my YouTube Channel at 12 pm Pacific Standard Time. If you wish to interact, stop on by. I would welcome your questions, feedback, and suggestions as we find ways to mutually strive to create community of healing around this pandemic scare we are going through. I would be glad to help in any way that I can. Below is a link to my Youtube Page.
