 Two Summer Weeks With Ned and Sue Hallowell.The first - for children and parents - is on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan at the Leelanau School, in Glen Arbor, just north of Traverse City. It runs from Sunday, July 13 thru Friday, July 18. The second week - for adults only - is at another beach location, this one at the Cape Cod Institute in Eastham on Cape Cod. I grew up in Chatham, just a few miles south, so this week is especially poignant for me. One of the advantages of each of these weeks is that Sue and I get to spend down time with the participants, which is wonderfully expansive for us all. Hope to see you at one of these special weeks this summer. Read More

Q: Dr. Hallowell, I feel so isolated lately as a stay at home mom. Do you have any advice for me?
A: Connect! Your mind is telling you to reach out. Go to the market place, hairdresser, gym, religious groups, parent groups. The modern paradox is that we are interconnected electronically but disconnected interpersonally. The things that are pressing us down don't press so hard. Don't worry alone and get your other Vitamin C - Vitamin Connection. Read more here.

10 Tips for Managing Anger in Children
|
 Of all the emotions that can get a child into trouble, at home or at school, anger leads the list. While sadness or anxiety can lead to misery, it is anger that leads to trouble, i.e., punishment, suspension, expulsion, and a host of other outcomes we don't wish our children to suffer.
Of course, it is also important that a child be able to express anger. But anger should be like a sneeze: it clears the passageways, then disappears. A child who cannot get angry can be in as much danger as a child who cannot control how angry he gets.
So the goal is to learn how to manage the often difficult-to-manage emotion we name anger.
Here are 10 tips. All of these cost nothing, can be used anywhere, and do not require the assistance of an expert. If you'd like to learn more, I refer you to my book, When You Worry About the Child You Love, from which these tips are loosely adapted.

The Mindful Approach to Attention
|
 | Mindfulness Training is finally receiving its deserved attention. The February 3, 2014 Time Magazine issue devoted its cover story to this rapidly evolving alternative practice.
|
There are many tasks throughout the day that require our attention. Attending to them requires that we self-regulate and maintain focus, especially difficult with ADHD. Research shows that we all have a limited amount of self-regulation resources and with ADHD the supply is even smaller. I like to think of it as a reservoir that requires refilling throughout the day as we continuously drain our supply. When the reservoir is empty, we have difficulty focusing and coping; our will power is deleted. Mindfulness interventions can refill the reservoir. If we take mindful pauses during the day, we can keep the reservoir topped off. Again, a mindfulness practice teaches us the skills to recognize when the reservoir is in need of a refill. * Mindfulness Programs are available at the Hallowell Centers.
