With the weather getting warmer here in the US, I thought today was a great day to talk about ticks and Lyme disease and what you can do to be on the lookout for possible signs and symptoms. As with everything I do, my goal is not to instill fear and panic in you as a parent, but rather to educate and inform you so that you are equipped to NOT be fearful of this treatable condition. Join me! 

My daughter was really nervous last night about her next track tryout tomorrow and whether she will make the team. Through our discussion, I was able to help her to recognize that regardless of whether she makes the team, she's already won because she had the courage to try something new without being assured of the outcome. I hope this helps any listeners out there who's child may be nervous about an upcoming tryout or event where the outcome is not guaranteed!
