I encourage you to challenge your thoughts by searching for evidence and determining whether to dismiss the information.

As a grad, who almost had a heart attack watching yesterday’s game, there was no other option for which water bottle I’d be bringing into the office today!

As many of my families have seen, I am a HUGE fan of the “What To Do” books (“Temper Flares” and “Worry Too Much” have gotten a lot of use in my office)
If you are struggling to help your kids make sense of current world events, I encourage you to check out this version, which provides age/developmentally appropriate explanations for how to make the news more manageable.
Paperback/Kindle/Spanish versions available on Amazon.
