20.01.2022 Feeling estranged from your own child is painful. Research indicates the most important predictor of a child’s emotional and psychological stability is the clo...seness of the parent/child relationship. If your child is not opening up when they are upset, the relationship may not be as close as it needs to be. There are two habits that parents routinely engage in that shut down communication and drive a child away: negating feelings and mistaking sympathy for empathy. In many cases, honoring your child’s feelings is all they need to feel better. Simply knowing their parent understands allows them to feel secure and forge ahead. Some sympathetic statements, on the other hand, disrupt any chance of emotional attunement, instead of helping them work through their difficult feelings. Dr. Erin Leonard discusses how to be a parent your child wants to confide in on the Gottman Relationship Blog: https://bit.ly/2DHZe8u

17.01.2022 Don't let this change the way you love people.

17.01.2022 Being able to identify the Four Horsemen in your conflict discussions is a necessary first step to eliminating them and replacing them with healthy, productive ...communication patterns. After watching thousands of couples argue in the Love Lab, Dr. John Gottman was able to identify specific negative communication patterns that can end a relationship. He called them the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," and they are criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. To drive away destructive communication and conflict patterns, you must replace them with healthy, productive ones, and fortunately, each of the Four Horseman has a proven positive behavior that will counteract negativity. The new Gottman Relationship Coach: How to Make Your Relationship Work will help you and your partner identify the Four Horsemen and what to do if they're present in your relationship.

12.01.2022 An interesting read if your going through the pressures of your final year of school

11.01.2022 Axel Scheffler, who illustrated the Gruffalo, has produced a digital book for primary age children, free for anyone to read on screen or print out, about the coronavirus and the measures taken to control it. He has had advice from medical professionals, head teachers and a child psychologist. The book answers key questions in simple language appropriate for 5 to 9 year olds. It allows children and families to have access to good and reliable information, and the familiarity of the pictures will hopefully be re-assuring for the many children who have read the picture books. The book is free https://nosycrow.com//released-today-free-information-boo/
