Good Moods Are Contagious In Teens (And Prevents Depression)

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By

As I blogged about last week… mood is not just something that colors our day. Our moods actually make a huge difference in our projected lifespan… this is now a medical fact!   On the heels of that study, yet another study was published just last month (August 19, 2015 in the Proc Biol Science) revealing that a positive mood among teens is not only “contagious” and spreads among peers… … but is also associated with enhanced recovery from depression and decreased future risk of depression. And even better, the reverse is not true: depressed mood does not appear to […]

Sleep A Key Factor In ADHD

Healthy Mindframe, Healthy Weight, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting / By

On the heels of last week’s blog post that named deep sleep as one of the top 3 ways to preserve your brain volume… a new study has recently revealed that good sleep helps with ADHD as well!   Sleep problems have long been considered a hallmark of ADHD… leading to reduced quality of life, reduced level of functioning and reduced school attendance. A study, recently published on January 20, 2015 in the British Medical Journal, has found that even a simple, brief sleep intervention with ADHD children provides lasting benefits that lead to improved sleep and decreased ADHD symptoms.

The World’s First Children’s Book about Earthingâ„¢!

Grounding, Positive Parenting / By

I am so passionate about Earthingâ„¢ that I recommend it every single day to my patients — young and old alike.   Connecting to the earth and grounding with your child is one of the best things you can do to support their long-term health. So many parents wanted to know exactly how to introduce Earthingâ„¢ as a healing technique with their young child. And how to explain it to older children who had scientific questions. Some parents wanted to know about what to do during bad weather or in the cold winter. Some were already connecting to the earth

My newest children’s book…

Healing Artwork, Positive Parenting / By

I am so very happy and proud to reveal the cover of my newest children’s book Together We Sleep. This is a book I not only wrote and illustrated, but I lived. Though parenting books written by Dr. Sears and other attachment parenting leaders are full of advice on co-sleeping, there isn’t one single picture book that you could read aloud to your child about the natural beauty of sleep sharing. Until today. This book is gentle and beautiful and peaceful… filled with hand painted images of people and animals all around the world… animals in nature in every habitat

Sneak Peek into my second children’s book…

Positive Parenting / By

    Whew! I just finished it. After spending months and months dreaming, writing, designing, sketching and painting it, my second children’s book is now off to be published! And not a nick of time too soon, as my house has literally fallen apart around me (we are talking dust bunnies that have built their own little hutches in every corner of my house) and orders in my shop have back up slightly (sorry peeps! Working on them right now!!!) my house feels strangely sad with all of this clutter cleared away:             But the
