Making Transitions Tolerable, New Ideas for New People & Places

It's that time of year again (for some of us)!

We are trading in our beach blankets and summer sun for school books and crisp fall days.

Heading back-to-school means homework, rules, transitions, social anxieties, new people and places, and everyone making decisions about how your kids will spend their time (except them). 




How will your children handle the changes? 

The weeks leading up to this annual return can reveal hidden despair, anxieties, doubt and worry that can negatively affect your child's resourcefulness and capacity to make a smooth transition.

Is it back-to-school time for you and your kids? How is everyone feeling about the end of summer changes?

How To Deal With The "Mean Girls"

Has your child run into social troubles (or mean girls) during the transition from early childhood to adolescence?

If I had to pick one movie to describe my teenage years, it would be a cross somewhere between Lucas (1986) and The Craft (1996). 

Always the new girl - likable, but awkward. 

Fitting-in can be a common challenge for girls (and boys). One that has been memorialized in movies such as Tina Fey's, Mean Girls.

This female social game starts around age nine and can heat up during high school.
