May is mental health awareness month. My calling, as a mental health and wellness provider, reminds me daily of the importance of connection. My goal this month is to connect using this page with anyone who is open to resources, ideas and reflective thoughts using this page. I found this podcast share worthy on the topic of connection.

Connection is key with our children. I recently started changing a few ways I ask my own children questions and I have found that it is helpful. I thought it would be worth sharing, especially as many of us have launched into the school year. Many know that instead of closed-ended questions, it is always better to use open-ended questions. Try adding "wonder" to your questions. Some examples are: "I wonder how your day went today", "I wonder who you sat by at lunch", "I wonder what your favorite experience was today", "I wonder what your biggest challenge was today", "I wonder about a moment that you felt proud or accomplished today"...ok, you get the drift. Try it out. I have found I am learning more about my kiddos’ days by this shift. Have a "wonder"ful week...sorry I just couldn't help myself!
