GYRO’S DAILY WELLNESS TIP
Throwing away things that our kids used when they were younger is s slippery slope for us as there is so much nostalgia associated with the small step stools, their favorite stuffed animals that they couldn’t sleep without and, the tattered book, “Goodnight Moon” than I must have read a thousand time to my kids ( I have that one memorized). There comes a time when we take inventory of these things and make room for the new. This process can be tough. Here’s a nice article about a mother who is going through this process. She sheds some light on how to approach this difficult yet inevitable task.
Hope you have a great day!
With Warmest Regards,

Here’s a nice article with some suggestions for parents who have a child with special needs. I encourage parents to get connected with parent groups as a way to get support as such things as what to expect during meetings with their child’s educational team, establishing reward systems, behavioral expectations that are appropriate for their developmental level, developing effective communication skills, and accessing community-based resources.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful!

Here’s an inspiring set of photos of single parents and their children with captions and descriptions of how they manage the challenges of single parenting. The sacrifices, strategies to manage the demands of parenting, and the expressions of fulfillment, devotion and love are inspiring.

This a fun article that I just couldn’t resist posting. I think you will find some truth as the writer identifies different types of tired. My favorite…”The Coffee Doesn’t Touch Me Tired.” I’m not a Mom but I can relate… Hope you enjoy the article.

It is so hard to capture all of wonderful events as our kids grow and develop. The hustle and bustle of life can sometimes take over, blinding us from so many of those precious moments. Here’s a nicely written article from a parent reflecting back on what she found to be purposeful actions to take and memories to treasure now that her children are fully grown.
