Sometimes, children with attention deficit disorder need help figuring out how to make friends — and keep them. Parents can make a big difference — without stepping on toes — by helping a child with ADHD start a conversation or by “supervising from the window.”Use these strategies to become your child’s friendship coach and guide his social development:Get to the root of the problem. Children with ADHD often have little sense of how they’re perceived by their peers, and will commit social blunders without realizing it.

Help them by discussing what went wrong, why it happened, and what your child could (not should) do differently next time. Be as sensitive with your child as you would be with a close adult friend — too much negative feedback

This Pandemic Is Our Teacher
It occurred to me earlier today that perhaps I should not write this article. This hesitation is not the self-doubt that always comes with staring at the blank page, but I wonder if this time my argument is heartless. If it is, I could upset a lot of people.

Parenting in Quarantine: Eight Steps for Sanity and Success

There are no deferments.  The front-line folks - medical staff, first responders, and the people that keep us fed- they are the public heroes, the elite forces.  Parents are the foot soldiers, the grunts slogging through the day-to-day guard duty, maintaining morale, requisitioning supplies, containing skirmishes.  Parents are stationed at home, many tele-working while being charged with keeping their kids safe, fed and occupied while pulling extra duty as teachers, recreation therapists and jailers.

The Lonely Losses of the Pandemic
As the world mourns the horrific losses associated with the pandemic, many of us feel alone with our personal grief. Our personal losses seem minor compared with the global devastation. What’s more, “social distancing” has left many of us to suffer our losses in isolation. And yet, we owe it to ourselves to acknowledge and mourn our personal losses as we would at any other time. Doing this will fortify us to tackle the challenges of our anticipated new normal lives – whenever and whatever they may be.

A Guide to Clinical Depression
Depression is a serious mental health condition that can affect every part of a person’s daily life. Contrary to the common misconception that it is similar to simply feeling sad, it is a more severe disorder that brings about many negative emotions to people who are affected by it. Generally, the severity of depression can be ranked from mild, temporary episodes to more serious and persistent ones. Clinical depression is one of such type of depression and is categorized as being severe.

Battling OCD? Try to Make Your Worst Fear Happen. Seriously.
I call my OCD therapy, RIP-R, and I also refer to it as, the beginning of the end. The beginning of the end means that this is the day you decide to stop the bullshit that is running your life. This is the day you commit to quieting the chatter in your brain and ending the endless, time-consuming behaviors that follow. This is the day you say to yourself: “I am going to commit to the therapy process, and if my worst fear happens, then so be it.”

Are you grieving yet?  If you aren’t, you will be soon.  Many Americans know someone who has the coronavirus, and as the crisis worsens, many will have family, friends, or acquaintances who have died of it.  Many of us long for normal social life, before the suspended animation of quarantine, and for warm hugs and intimate conversations that are now unsafe and irresponsible.  And everyone will know someone who has lost his or her job or who lives in terror of losing it.

Scared To Death To Talk To Your Kids About Death? Here's Why
One of the realities of living through the coronavirus period is that death is coming ever closer to our social circles. Research demonstrates that parents tend to avoid talking to their children about death until forced to by the death of a specific person in the child’s life. It makes sense that parents tend to do this – death is an uncomfortable topic.

How Contagious Are My Fears? Will My Kids Get Them From Me?
Countless times, I've heard a mother say she hides her fear of flying from her kids because she doesn't want them to get it. There are some interesting things about this concern. First, why mothers? I don't hear this concern voiced by fathers. Second, why does fear seem contagious? It's like something the kids won't catch if they don't know about mom having it, but will get infected by it if they do know mom has it.

Since mid-March, in response to the rapidly rising rate of Covid-19 cases, U.S. officials across all levels of government have ordered and advised Americans to stay inside their homes as much as possible, and to engage in social distancing when outside. The officials’ warnings are based on the recommendations of the world’s leading medical researchers and reinforced by news reports of hundreds of thousands of people across the world getting infected and becoming dangerously ill.

It’s safe to say many of us are wading through uncharted waters as we each experience the pandemic in our own way. You’re likely adjusting to a new normal — navigating government guidelines and restrictions, managing the drastic shift in your daily routine, or dealing with economic turmoil. Maybe on top of all this change, your pre-existing health condition or disability makes you or your loved one at higher risk. Maybe the emergence of difficult emotions is impacting your mental health.

The Sign I Made My 5-Year-Old to Ward Off COVID-19 Mommy Shamers
Due to COVID-19, the novel coronavirus that causes symptoms like dry cough, fever and shortness of breath, things nowadays are far from the normal. Simple tasks like going to the grocery store have put so much more stress on everyone — especially single parents like myself. In a time where only one adult alone should go out for essentials, that can be impossible for someone who is sheltering-in-place with a small child.

The Light Through Postpartum Isolation
The coronavirus pandemic is making clear that many of the ways of living we considered normal and never second-guessed were not really serving us. It has been known to maternal mental health professionals for a long time that our modern family and social structures leave parents disconnected and without enough support. This puts way too much pressure on immediate caregivers alone, increasing feelings of loneliness and stress and thereby increasing the risk of developing postpartum symptoms. Sheltering in place is profoundly underscoring this unfortunate reality.

Intimacy in the Face of Death
I once knew a couple whose young son was dying. The parents refused to talk with him about it. Perhaps this would not have been a bad strategy had they been able to persuade him that he would live, but they were not. The young boy knew—as people often do, somehow—that his end was near. He wanted to talk, but any time he broached the topic, the mother and father would insist that he would get better; that he wouldn't die. As a consequence, he not only had to face the prospect of death at a very young age but he had to do it alone.

Social Support Rainbows for Pandemic Stress Storms
“Everyone’s been so nice, checking with us to see if we’re okay and if we need anything,” said my octogenarian friend with a tone of gratitude and relief. These simple shows of what psychologists call “social support” were clearly helpful to my friend’s coping. Another sheltering friend posted photos on social media of some favorite food items, left on her doorstep by some thoughtful friends. It was apparent how much this simple gesture made her feel loved and cared for. Indeed, one of the easiest and most important ways you can help during the pandemic is to reach out to your physically distant friends and family in some simple ways.

How Can the Pandemic Make You Stronger?
Alone in our homes, staring into space. Fauci on TV again. Forgetting what day it is. Another Netflix marathon. A squabble with a loved one. Awake at 3 AM. We may not realize it, but a lot of what we’re feeling now is about loss. Loss of freedom to go where we want to go. Loss of connection with friends. Loss of milestones—vacations, graduations, weddings. Loss of career momentum. Loss of a job.
