Resilience: The Skill Your Child Needs to Learn

Image
It’s the end of the study year. It’s the time when many parents think about their dreams and hopes for their children. It’s the time of graduation speeches, for looking back at accomplishments and making a strategy for new ones. As parents, we think about getting into good schools, excelling at athletics, getting good grades, and getting good jobs. All these are great, but resilience is something that every child needs if they are going to truly succeed in life. Resilience is the ability to get around life’s inevitable bumps and still be healthy and happy to stay on track. It’s also the ability to overcome hardship and be okay. What sometimes bothers me is the way that electronic devices have become so ubiquitous, and our present parenting culture of success and obsessing over safety may get in the way of learning resilience. Four factors help children develop resilience, according to Harvard University’s Centre on the Developing Child. They are: Supportive adult-child relationsh...

Is The Gender Reveal Trend Dead? Data Reveals All…

Image
For over a decade, gender reveal parties have been a huge trend amongst parents-to-be. But they may not be as popular as they once were, according to a UK survey . Simply put, a gender reveal party is when soon-to-be parents gather their family and friends so they can all find out the baby’s sex together. This is often revealed in ‘fun’ ways, such as cutting a cake or popping a balloon to reveal a colour – this tends to be pink for a girl and blue for a boy. Some of the most outrageous gender reveals include reality TV star Charlotte Crosby’s recent reveal that saw a plane flying over with a pink contrail, signifying to family and friends (as well as anybody in that area) that Charlotte is having a girl. In September 2021, a US couple revealed their baby’s sex by setting off a smoke-generating device, revealing blue smoke. They did this in El Dorado on a hot, dry, windy day which unfortunately started a huge wildfire, blackening 32 square miles and injuring thirteen people. This fir...

Sharing a whole day of eats from start to finish.  Hey hey! Happy humpday! What’s going on this morning? I have 1:1 calls all morning and getting a podcast episode edited and ready to go. I hope you have a lovely day ahead. For today’s post, I thought I’d share a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) since it’s been a while.

The Pilot was also out of town for work so I was doing...

How to Keep Your Brain Healthy as You Age

Image
To say the brain is an essential part of one’s body would be an understatement. Some say the organ is the most valuable “muscle” within the body. It is not only responsible for several crucial vital functions that help your body operate correctly but also provides you with a place to store your most cherished memories. The brain is also indispensable in helping you solve any situation you face as you go about your day. Taking our brains for granted is something we always do. Often ignored is that, just as with any organ within our body, the brain is also subject to deterioration and aging as the years pass. As our bodies age, so do our brains. People don’t start thinking about their brain health until they notice changes to their memory and cognitive processes at the age of 60 or 70. However, there are many things you can do from a young age to ensure an ageless brain. In this article, we will highlight a few basic practices you can follow to slow down the aging of your brain. This w...

Finding a Path to Your Purpose

Image
On paper, your life may look idyllic, even enviable. You may have a promising career with a good paycheck, a solid marriage, and beautiful children, but that doesn’t mean you are living with purpose. If you feel like something essential is missing from your life, the thing that drives you towards passionate living, you may still be trying to find your purpose. The phrase “finding your purpose” may sound like a cliche used by those with no continuity in their lives. However, pursuing your purpose is not only for those that feel lost in their lives . Finding your purpose can help you to achieve more harmony, joy, and fulfillment in your life. If you feel that your life is just a continuous cycle of the mundane and doesn’t have significant meaning, you may be in search of your purpose. Each of us has a unique purpose and often has nothing to do with monetary compensation. Those that work within an industry that allows them to fulfill their purpose often place little significance on thei...
