Resources I have been trying to take the time to really look into different facets of support for our community. I have found that podcasts, audiobooks and verbal resources are easier to utilize than books or articles. Here is a few resources that may be helpful to listen to. Other resources are: Dial Down the Drama by Colleen O'Grady Parenting teens with Love and Logic by Jim Faye Teenagers Untangled
 New Year, New Me Yeah...I cant get on board with that. We know that the start of a new year is stereotypically a time when people set resolutions. My confusion with resolutions is normally a resolution because of something we do not like ourself or our environment. BUT what if we just set goals to continue things, or to educate ourselves or goals set from a place of wanting to bring joy to others? I struggle with the idea of putting ourselves down at the start of the year to "build ourselves up" or "fix ourselves." This year I would rather the start of the year start as a how to grow in certain areas. Maybe its you want to grow in the area of continuing with being an encouraging friend, maybe its continuing to increase your mathematic abilities, or its acknowledge when you know you need to ask for help.  I am hopeful that if we come from a place of grace and love, we will start our new year off with hope and gratitude.
