Happy Mothers Day - Sarah McLachlan

By E Boyer


Sarah McLachlan
Just when you think you can't take anymore, they smile at you and your heart melts and in an instant, all the feral animalistic thoughts recede. Our children have the ability to bring us to our knees, we weigh the depths of love and terror and wonder how could we ever go on without them?

They are our greatest teachers and harshest critics - our babies, born of our bodies and spirits to raise us to the highest office- motherhood. Love those babies well and love yourself even more, for you are witness to and part of an ongoing miracle. Life is rich, embrace it all, happy mothers day, 
Love Sarah

Child's Feelings and Needs Chart

By E Boyer

This chart gives some pointers that can be a quick reminder of some of the feelings that may be driving certain behaviours and furthermore some of the possible unmet needs that need to gain attention before the child can begin to feel better, hence act better. This can also be useful in helping a parent to re-frame a challenging situation when the parent becomes emotionally charged and has the urge to choose actions that escalate a situation.
