Being able to tolerate uncomfortable feelings helps build resiliency through difficult situations.

It's important to teach children about commitment and responsibility when committing to a new activity. However, the exception would be if there is a safety concern or bullying. So if your kid is wanting to quit something they were once enjoying, listen to them about why.

Depending on the closeness of the relationship and situation, you might decide to withhold answering personal questions about your family of origin. A perfectly good boundary is, "I prefer not to talk about that. But why don't you tell me about yours?"

This month my blog is for the men... It's called "Stronger Together."

Stronger Together — Chris Guzniczak Counseling Men are stronger together. We learn that vulnerability is weakness, so we bottle up emotions. Learning to develop deeper relationships with other men can lead to stronger men.

We have multiple clinicians that offer family therapy at FMC.

New research on tantrums and tablets.

Tablets and tantrums: Digital pacifiers may hinder children's emotional development Using digital devices to manage children's tantrums can hinder their ability to regulate emotions, leading to more severe anger management issues later in life, according to a recent international study.

We love the first one. What do y'all think about the sequel?

The 'Inside Out' movies give kids an 'emotional vocabulary.' Kristi Zybulewski, a clinical social worker, says that most of the teenagers she works with have seen Inside Out, often on the recommendation of a therapist. She said she's grateful for the movie because it gives kids an "emotional vocabulary" so they can name their feelings and because it supports what she tells her students in therapy: "All emotions are welcome. ... They're all necessary. They're all meaningful. They're all rich." https://buff.ly/4c2Jzfa via

Self-care is not selfish.

Is it time to be intentional in your relationships?
