Five Tips to Help Your Teen to Stop Procrastinating

We have all been there.  Putting off a significant project or work task or homework assignment that we don’t want to do.  Foolishly ignoring an upcoming deadline as if that will somehow make it disappear, when in fact, time still marches ahead.  And then, the overwhelming dread and panic as our deadline loom larger and closer, we stay up late, or worse, pull a dreaded “all-nighter” to get the item off the do list, all the while telling ourselves we will never procrastinate again!

Deepening Connection Between Parents and Children

Whether you have younger or older children, helping them process their experiences can give them a sense of understanding of both the world around them and their responses to that world.

Games that promote a closer relationship with your child

 

 

When I was little, my favorite game to play with my dad was “Rumble Tumble.” My dad would lie on his back on the floor, and my siblings and I would stack ourselves on top, with the youngest always getting the comfortable top position. Then my dad would rock back and forth, chanting “rumble tumble, rumble tumble” until, one by one, we fell off giggling. This kind of silly fun, mixed with physical touch, is a great way to encourage closeness and attachment with children.

Limits Worth Setting are Limits Worth Upholding

 

I recently took a parenting class at the Parent Education Program in Kensington and during one class the teacher said “Limits worth setting are limits worth upholding.” For the last three months that statement has stuck with me because it highlights that limit setting involves a two step process – (1) making a (hopefully) thoughtful choice about what limits to set and (2) following through with the work of upholding the limit.
