This week we are focusing on the importance of a healthy self-esteem, and how you can help your child develop this. Our kids will hear a lot of things about themselves when they reach school age.

This episode will focus on how you as a parent, guardian, teacher, coach or grandparent can help children in your life cope with stress. Did anyone ever give you tools as a child to cope when life got messy? A lot of us had to learn on our own as we grew up, and many of us are still trying to figure that out today. Let's give our kids a better head start when it comes to coping with stress, an...

Hello, and welcome to season 4 of Effing Breathe. While season 4 is focusing on topics parents might find helpful, these episodes can apply to most everyone. Do you take care of yourself, or are you busy taking care of everyone else and forgetting about you? This is true for most of us at some point in our lives, but it is especially true for parents.   Website:  http://pariscounselingllc.org/ Ins...

 Hello, and welcome to episode 7 of Effing Breathe. As a parent, it's tough to navigate the waters of technology and social media. Our kids want to do what all their friends are doing, but we don't always agree it's a safe space for them. Let's work to calm our nerves around the conflictive feelings we may have.

Hello, and welcome to a guided meditation about the concept of proving people right. We often focus on the people who we feel want us to fail, and only think about proving people wrong. A better motivational technique for us and our kids is to change that mindset, and focus on the people who support us.   Website:  http://pariscounselingllc.org/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/pariscounselin...

The concept of scaffolding is a wonderful strategy to keep in mind as we parent our little ones or not so little ones. Scaffolding is the practice of giving your child support in areas they need until they fully learn a skill and manage it independently. As they learn the skill, you pull back support little by little until they have mastered it themselves. It's really easy to just put our kids...

Welcome to a guided meditation for managing our emotions around ADHD behavior. Are you a parent of a child with ADHD? It can be a much bigger struggle than people realize.

When we choose to stay home with our babies, we do so for personal reasons. When we choose to work outside of the home after having babies, we do so for personal reasons. Both are great choices, and one is not better than the other. It depends on the person and what is right for them. But we sure can face some pressures, guilt, and stress on both sides of that coin.   Website:  http://pariscounsel...

Welcome to a guided meditation for managing parental guilt. We'd like to say it's a meditation for removing parental guilt, but that's probably not an achievable goal. As parents, we strive to do what is best for our kids, but we are human beings, and we aren't perfect. We are going to make mistakes. Period. We are going to feel guilty about those mistakes. Period. But, we can work...

Hello, and welcome to a guided meditation for learning to change patterns of behavior. We all know the definition of insanity- doing the same thing over and over but expecting different outcomes.
