How to Handle Challenging Relationships Over the Holidays

Do you feel so stressed out just thinking about the holidays and your family?

Maybe you have one family member who wants the entire family together.  

But, then you have the brother who insists that every family member wear a mask at all times.

…and maybe your aunt believes that the extra carbon dioxide from the mask is worse than the actual disease but it’s ok, she’ll just sit alone… outside… all by herself.

And then your kids who don’t understand why they can’t see Grandma and their cousins.

Every holiday season can be stressful when dealing with loved ones, but this one seems especially tumultuous due to so many factors.

How to Stop Your Kids From Lying without Using Punishment

“Mommy, I’m sick. I don’t want to go school”

My preschool son stood in front of me, still wearing his Paw Patrol pajamas. My heart picked up pace.
