This is a photo of the black raspberries that grow near my house every year in late June. I love these berries more than any other fruit.

The foods you choose have a huge impact on your vitality. If you eat food that is processed, package or industrial, there isn’t much life/chi/prana in it.

Imaginative, unstructured play brings children into the moment and grounds them in their bodies.

If you child has a learning challenge, take some time to explore why. Look at the whole child. Learn at what’s happening in the household.

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.

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".

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.
