  • A Conversation for Teens and Parents: Creating Supportive Relationships
    Feb 23 2024
    Welcome to my very special listeners, teens! Today I want to share some videos I recently created to answer the question, "What does a supportive relationship look like between an adult and a teen?"   Well there are two folks to consider in this question and I answered with what can be considered by teens trying to figure out WHY they would ever want to connect with adults, and how adults can be welcoming and supportive to teens.   Please feel free to go to the blog or YouTube to see the video versions of both aspects and watch with your teens. There is such wealth in exploring perspectives on both sides of the relationship, which largely involves trust, safe spaces and vulnerability. I welcome your input, ah-ha's and questions. As always, you can drop me a line at wendy@wendyschofermd.com.

  • Shake It Off: How to shift when you're stressed
    Feb 16 2024

    You're zapped, trying to focus on getting that report done. Or from the kids running on your nerves all day long. And the kids are having a meltdown and just arguing with each other, raiding the cabinets and doing anything but homework.

    What do you do?

    In today's episode I explore the concept of the "Shake Off," and I swear I'm not singing Taylor Swift the whole time (I.do.not.sing!). What is shaking it off? What does it do? How does it change your physiology? Why does that matter?

    Let's dive in!

  • Are you playing ping pong or chess with your kids?
    Feb 9 2024

    As a parent, are you playing ping pong or chess with your kids? It's not all about the games, it's about the approach to being with them.

    In this episode we talk about taking some lessons from Improv Comedy and apply them to working with our kids. No one approach is better than another, but is it possible that your go-to (like my strength of being a Maximizer) is keeping you from fully having the experience you want at home?

    Let's talk about health, habits, strengths (and their downside), the responsiveness in ping pong, the future planning and being in the moment. Whether you call it meditation, mindfulness, awareness, presence or something else, let's explore together. As you will find from a story about a client's use of awareness, it completely changes our relationship with ourselves and our family.
