Read MoreA 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.

We all know how important exercise is for our physical and emotional wellbeing but I know that some parents are out there, wondering how to get their children interested in it.
Read More6 Physical Symptoms You Wouldn’t Think are Related to Food
Over 200 physical symptoms, conditions and diseases that you wouldn’t think are related to food can actually be caused or worsened by food. We eat food every few hours, all day long; it is the main substance that we ingest yet many of us refuse to believe its impact on the body. “The incidence of diet-related problems is greater than the incidence of any other type of illness affecting mankind.” James Breneman.

It is certainly sad when a parent has assumed for years that their child wanted to receive gifts when all the child really wanted was physical touch. Or if your child’s love language is physical touch and you were never hugged or kissed as a child, this language will be a little more challenging for you to learn. In either case, all you need to do is explain this to your child and ask them for their help in reminding you of or initiating their love language. It may have been over the course of many years that your child has not received interaction in their love language and you may have struggled in your relationship but it is never too late to start filling your child’s love tank.
