Many of us (myself included) strive to develop more effective and efficient routines. Sometimes, we fail to realize that we have more functional systems in place than we realize. Personally, I've set lofty goals for improving routines in cleaning, homework, exercise, the morning hustle, etc. Those systems generally fail. What I have found does work is to do what I call, "obstacle-identification-and-removal". I'm sharing a little about that and some examples of how it has been useful for my home.

Language + Co-Regulation
In this episode, I'm discussing two valuable principles in parenting: co-regulation and declarative language. I recently read two short books by the same author (Linda K. Murphy) with tools that have proven useful in both my own parenting and in my therapy practice. I'm giving you a quick overview of these tools and tips for integrating them into your own life (with both kids and adults!).
