Hair Mineral Analysis – Learn About Your Underlying Health Challenges
I recently had hair mineral analysis done by this lab and learned that it was my adrenal glands (stress) that was driving my minor health challenges.

Our Children Are Our Mirrors
If we are still wounded (incomplete or hurt) from our childhood, we will wound our child, usually without being conscious of it. If we were not accepted by our parents for who we are, we, in turn, might not accept or value our child for who they are.

Learning to Talk With Your Child Not at Them
A big part of a friendship is feeling safe with one another to express ourselves fully. This involves talking to our child about what they find to be important, whether they feel something is “good” or “bad”, and what they feel like doing. We can also ask our child how they feel in their bodies in various circumstances. We can ask them if their stomach feels relaxed or as though it is in knots. We can ask them if their heart is racing or if their neck feels tight. We can ask them what they think their body is trying to tell them.

A Commentary on the “You Are Not Special” Commencement Speech
I don’t believe we need to criticize our children or ever point out that they didn’t do a good job at something. But when they do poorly, we cannot tell them they did great! I am never a proponent of lying about a child’s abilities or contribution and neither is our child. If they do know the truth or later find out the truth, our child will not view us in a favourable light. Even if they don’t find out the truth, we are not doing our child any service complimenting them when, instead, we could be helping them hone their skills, so that they can contribute their real talents to the world.

Women exposed to x-rays in the first 3-5 weeks of pregnancy are at a higher risk of miscarriage or delivering a baby with birth defects. Exposure between the 8th and 15th week can cause brain damage in the baby. These are obviously serious implications.
