When I heard that Paula Prober had a book coming out, I had to read it. And read it I did! I consumed Your Rainforest Mind in 24-hours and today I wanted to talk about it. You may already know Paula from her website, Your Rainforest Mind. Paula is a licensed counselor in private practice in Eugene,…

Our oldest son is a world-class worrier. In his eight years on this planet, he’s conquered so many worries! Each time we experience a swell of anxiety, we snap into action mode. We make sure he’s eating well, sleeping well, getting enough exercise, and spending heaps of time outdoors in nature. Once we are sure…

I used to dread kindergarten pick-up. My little guy would board the bus at 7:50 am. He looked adorable climbing up those big steps with his oversized backpack and book in hand. The book was as oversized as his backpack. In kindergarten, he read big books: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Hobbit. He didn’t notice that people…

What if I told you that home therapy for SPD exists? My oldest son was afraid of the television until he was six and a half years old. When I say that he was afraid of the TV, I don’t mean that he has sensitive to themes, or that he couldn’t watch certain programming. I mean that when the…

Recently we received a homeschool manifesto from our daughter. But, first… the backstory. If I ran the world (and believe me, I am happy that I don’t), kindergarten would be… different.
