RAISING TEENS
EATING DISORDERS
EATING DISORDERS
There are great books on raising children, but once they hit adolescence, it is a different story! Where are those resources on how to raise TEENS??? Those sweet young children start producing hormones and suddenly you have a kid you don't recognize! Learning to be more independent and have their own voice is a huge part of adolescence and parents are at a loss as to how to respond.....Kids have to go through this "rebellious" phase in order to grow up and mature. But how much is "too much"? When is it disrespect? When do they get consequences for their unruly behavior? Do you ground them for a month? a year?

What is Addiction?
- Dr. Maté uses three criteria in his definition of addiction. Firstly, craving the addictive substance or behaviour; secondly, engaging in the addictive substance or behaviour in order to experience pleasure or temporary relief from some kind of pain; and finally, the inability to give the substance or behaviour up.
- Addiction is an attempt to solve a problem. It is the symptom of a deeper malaise, in most cases, trauma.
- When bad things happened, or simply when good things that should have happened didn’t (when children didn’t get their needs met and were neglected), this can lead to addiction.
- The most important question is not “why the addiction” but “why the pain?”. In order to heal addiction, we must look at the underlying trauma.

THE EPIDEMIC OF STRESS
APPS TO CALM THE MIND
Yoga and meditation have been around for thousands of years. You don't have to wrap your leg around your head to "do" yoga. Yoga is creating a connection between the mind and body. It is tuning in, quieting the mind, creating balance and stillness even while there is craziness around you. Yoga is creating sensation while breathing- perhaps through stretching or holding a pose feeling sensation in a muscle. Meditation is quieting the mind to create stillness. And when we are in the present moment, there is no distress. There is nothing to worry about... in this moment. Try it!
