Do not let you child fall asleep on nursing pillows or pillow-like lounging pads. Babies may roll over onto their sides or stomachs and turn their heads into the soft fabric and suffocate. Or, when propped up on an incline against the pillow or lounger, their heads can fall forward, blocking their airway. Babies do not need the soft padding of pillow.

During the pandemic, you may have heard that COVID-19 is similar to the influenza (flu). COVID-19 and the flu are both contagious respiratory diseases, they are both caused by viruses, and they have some common symptoms. However, as seen in this post, COVID-19 and flu infections can affect people differently.

It is important to note that, since you cannot tell the difference between flu and COVID-19 by the symptoms alone, specific testing is necessary to tell what the illness is and to confirm a diagnosis.

Having a medical professional administer a specific test that detects both flu and COVID-19 allows you to get diagnosed and treated for the specific virus you have more quickly. Getting treated early for COVID-19 and flu can reduce your risk of getting very sick.

Does pausing *before* you speak when you’re angry seem unrealistic?

You’ve probably heard that a short pause when you’re feeling angry or starting to get triggered can be a game-changer — it helps you respond more calmly, with more intention, and avoid things like yelling or saying things you regret later.

The trouble is, it happens when you’re already upset!

Parenting can be so unpredictable and we may have the best intentions or even do all the research on parenting techniques, but it seems like we’re never "ready" when those difficult moments come. Nobody’s thinking clearly enough to avoid a knee-jerk reaction to their kid’s behavior when the reaction seems to happen immediately!

Here’s the secret: it takes practice. WE’RE RIGHT when we say we just can’t seem to stop ourselves from reacting when our kids push our buttons. Once you’re already escalating, it’s MUCH harder to pause.

It’s not our fault — nobody taught us to observe and regulate our own emotions when we were kids. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But we can teach it to ourselves as adults!

Practicing and thinking about this skill when you’re NOT upset is key to mastering it — and ultimately improving your communication and connection with your kids!

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention on purpose to the present moment, without judging or trying to change your experience. The practice of mindfulness can help teens to increase their self-awareness, self-control, and attention. It can also reduce their emotional suffering and increase compassion for themselves and others. Practicing mindfulness allows teens to see reality more accurately and without judgment. Regular practice will help to foster an increased sense of well-being for your child.

Encourage your high schooler to watch this video of kids talking about their emotions. Even better — watch it with your child and discuss these key findings together:

1️⃣ Mindfulness is an ongoing practice, just like daily physical exercise.
2️⃣ There are three mindfulness skills to focus on with your teen:
— Observe: Notice, without words, what is going on in the environment or in their body.
— Describe: Name what they notice using descriptive and non- judgmental language.
— Participate: Throw themselves fully into an activity or experience.
