  • EP 727 – RESPECT
    I disagree with the usual sentiment. Respect is earned, not given. I believe that Respect is given, first. But you can lose my respect and you may have to earn it back.
    Our default setting should be to respect every person we meet. Every single one.
    Respect is not just deep admiration for someone elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Respect is due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Respect Day.
    Start by treating people with a more polite approach. Are you saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’?
    Respect their time, energy, and experience.
    Treat people they way you would hope that they would treat you with.
    Sometimes, people mistakenly think that they must agree when showing respect. That is not true. It is very possible, to disagree in a manner that demonstrates politeness and consideration. That can be done without berating the person, without insulting them or their opinions, and without causing hurt, guilt or shame.
    Respecting everyone can create a ripple out effect to others. Respect is like kindness and once demonstrated, it can have a profound impact on the person receiving it.
    If after getting to know a person you realize they are very cruel or bigoted, or they have demonstrated a lack of respect and understanding towards their fellow humans, you don't have to continue to respect them. But it is always best when we start from a place where we believe people are good.
    If you like today’s wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app.

  • EP 726 – Time’s Up
    Life is too short. Some Day will never come. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
    Time’s Up Day is here. Today is the day to make the most of your life.
    It is also the time to get over whatever is standing in between you and someone else: Arguments, disagreements, feeling slighted, jealous, or whatever it is. It is time to address the situation head on.
    Hurt is inevitable in significant relationships. Yet pain and strife do not have to mean a relationship is going to end.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Time’s Up Day.
    Time is fleeting. Waiting until tomorrow, may be too late. Tell yourself that time is up and reach out to the person today. Call them on the phone, or send them an email.
    It takes two people to mend a broken relationship. There is no sense in trying to fix something if you are the only one willing to do the work. If the other person is unapologetic, dismissive, or continues hurtful behavior, it might be time to move on.
    If it is a worthwhile relationship to work on, then use your best communication skills. Instead of trying to think of what you need to say next, stop and try to understand what they are telling you. Careful listening shows respect and will help you both figure out what to do next.
    The time for repairing relationships is today

  • EP 725 – Backpack Injury
    Backpack Injury. Should Parents Be Worried About Their Children?
    With all of the stressors that parents have to worry about when their young children are going back to school, a backpack may be far down the list of priorities.
    When you place a heavy backpack filled with books, binders and gym clothes, the stress can pull you backwards. Research shows that up to 60% of children will experience back pain by the time they are 18 years old.
    So here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Backpack Safety Month:
    The maximum weight of a loaded backpack should not exceed 15% of the child’s body weight.
    Pick the right backpack that fits your child’s size and strength. If they can’t stand up straight, then they may be carrying too much weight.
    Choose a pack with a hip strap or waist belt and a padded back. A strap or belt can take as much as 50-70% of the weight off the shoulders and spine, and will equalize the strain on the bones, joints, and muscles.
    There is a free app featuring easy-to-perform posture exercises, that you can use in just three minutes a day to help keep your child healthy. Practice The Straighten Up Canada program anywhere as a great way to improve posture.

  • EP 724 – Post-Secondary Stress
    Has Your Child Gone Off To Post-Secondary?
    Parents are bound to worry when their kids go off to post-secondary school. Will they eat, go to sleep and wake up without their supervision? Do I think they will be able to keep up with the work? Are they going to make friends or socialize too much? Will the pressure to use alcohol or drugs be too great?
    Post-secondary stress is something to worry about. When it comes to acknowledging and handling stress, students are among the most vulnerable segments of the population.
    Look for changes in behaviour – especially eating, sleeping and socializing patterns. Some students become distracted and have difficulty concentrating, while others will mention more colds and flus. How your child is affected by stress may be very different from how you are affected by stress. You may become more verbal while your child becomes more withdrawn.
    Here are today’s Hot Tips For Building Resiliency and Dealing With Post- Secondary Stress
    Learn to listen and ask specific questions when you are concerned.
    Give advice, but don’t dictate.
    Try not to be judgmental if your child’s choices are not exactly what you would have them do.
    Before you intervene, ask yourself whether you need to get involved.
    Help them to learn from their mistakes.
    With your guidance and support, and by sharing the strategies listed above your child will be well on the road to becoming an independent and successful student.

  • EP 723 – Parent-Teacher Conflict
    We are a couple of weeks into school and believe it or not, now is the time that issues and conflict may be starting to boil and bubble.
    So how do you ensure that the school year stays on the right path and that there will be less stress for you, your child and their teacher?
    Follow These Hot Tips For Building Resiliency During Any Parent-Teacher Conflict:
    Parent-teacher interviews are usually scheduled for after the first report card. By then the stress or conflict may have grown too large. Set up an appointment and bring any issues out early.
    Communication is the key.
    Watch that you are not becoming an ‘Helicopter Parent’ who jumps in too soon or hovers around. We need to allow our children to solve their issues and try different strategies.
    Be open to the possibility that your child may be part of the problem. Outline with your child the kind of behaviours and attitudes that you expect and let them know that you will be discussing your expectations with their teacher. If the teacher approaches you regarding behaviour or attitudes of your child, try to keep emotionally neutral. Move quickly into problem solving.
    Remember that this is a team approach to helping your child succeed.
