It's helpful to have goals

Empathy is taught by what we say, what we do (or don’t do) and how we act. Modeling empathy is so valuable.

I have been discussing loss with clients in the context of the pandemic and this article confirms we’re grieving multiple losses while managing the ongoing impact of trauma and uncertainty. This article also offers realistic and helpful steps to take! Well worth the read as we continue to navigate these new times.

This list sums up mom guilt so well!

Research from Harvard University suggests that children as young as three years old, when exposed to racism and prejudice, tend to embrace and accept it, even though they might not understand the feelings. By age 5, white children are strongly biased towards whiteness. To counter this bias, experts recommend acknowledging and naming race and racism with children as early and as often as possible. Children’s books are one of the most effective and practical tools for initiating these critical conversations; and they can also be used to model what it means to resist and dismantle oppression.
