​Are you worried about your child starting school this year? Have they had some social difficulties in the past few years? Has the pandemic had an impact on their social development? Many parents have felt the impacts of the pandemic on their younger children’s wellbeing and social development. Kids entering juniour kindergarten this year, have lived more of their life during the covid pandemic years than not. They have also needed to make sense of a changing social world, including what physical distance is okay with another adult or child, when to wear a mask and not, underlying fears of others to be around any common cold, missing some key exposure to facial expressions, and reduction in opportunities for social interaction. The opportunity for social interaction has ranged between children depending on level of comfort of families, accessibility of childcare, a parent’s job and restrictions within that job, and accessibility of opportunities of child programming such as afterschool programs and camps. Below are a few considerations to support your child in the transition to starting school and being socially successful:

​Meditating has countless benefits as I mention in a previous blog post “Yoga and Meditation in Supporting Mental Health”. It is helpful to have the right tips and support particularly if you are new to meditation. The most common thing I hear from new clients who have tried meditation is that they cannot do it, as they believe they are doing it wrong because their mind keeps wandering or will not stop thinking. It is completely normal when someone first starts meditating for their mind to wander, it is with time and practice that we can train our mind to be more present and still. In this post I focus specifically on how to support guided meditation practice as guided meditations are a good place to start for people who are beginners or intermediates to meditating. Find below some tips to get the most out of your guided meditation practice:

    I have been working with parents for over 10 years. I have learned a great deal from them as well as from parenting my own children. It has taught me that parenting is the most trying job there is, requires the support of a village, and with the right supports can be truly rewarding.
