When the stress load is too high, children can be in a chronic state of tension, which may not be apparent on the surface.

Pain isolates is. It can make us believe we can’t be with others. It tends to invite cocooning which can be nourishing at times but it can prevent us from meeting others as we are.

What if we looked at children with learning challenges through a holistic lens? Let’s broaden the focus from how the child processes information to how the child is doing in his/her life.

All week I have written about discipline and asked you please, not to spank your kids. That brings us to the primary question, how can we get our kids to listen?

Our children will teach us what we need to learn for our self-growth, if we listen. In every moment that the child doesn't listen, there is an opportunity for us to self-reflect.

When we come together to meditate, chant and open our hearts, it creates a real bond.

I wish it would be clear to parents that hitting children does much more harm than good. Spanking is not an effective way to teach children good behaviour.

Ask yourself whether the way you discipline your children draws them closer to you or further away? Discipline can be based on loving connection, which can strengthen a child.

You don't have to be sick to benefit from homeopathy, only human.

As parents we have a long list of concerns about our children. We see them in various physical, emotional and behavioural challenges and want to help them as best we can.

When life is intense I definitely contract instead of open. My mind starts obsessing, I start doubting and without even realizing it…

It can be hard to grasp the degree to which our children know our inner worlds. They may not know it in their minds but they can feel exactly what’s going on.

I have some things to say from a health perspective about the commandment, "Respect your elders".

With all this talk about meditation and chanting and all the ways it can heal your life, it's important to remember that you don't have to believe it until you feel it.

Imagine if you had a toolkit customized to your child that could support him/her though the physical and emotional stressors?

People spend a lot of energy teaching kids how to behave well. Children are told what to do, how to do it, what not to do etc.

When kids are hyper, wild or misbehaved in any way, it's almost always the case that their breath will be shallow.

One of the beautiful things about a regular meditation practice is that it brings you to the place of listening within.
