A
Note from Dr. Caron Goode
We
are making some changes at Inspired Parenting over the next
several months. Because I still find so many excellent writers
with good ideas to share for rearing the whole child, IP will
continue to offer articles, but a fewer number in respect for
your reading time. At the turn of the New Year, you’ll see more
suggestions for the new brand name for IP’s work: HeartWise.™
Here are three excellent articles for the holidays, from
handling stress, to children’s holiday social skills to asking
the core questions to provide deeper meaning about what it is
important to us. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

By
Caron B. Goode
Gifts are good wishes topped with
beautiful bows. Giving thanks is how we return those good
wishes. Nothing shows appreciation more than a heartfelt thank
you. Likewise, nothing is more embarrassing than hearing, “Yuck,
socks!” come from your child’s mouth. This holiday season don’t
cross your fingers and hope for the best. Show your children
what the best is.

Protecting Your
Health from Holiday Stress

Lori Radun
"I don't want to wear that
costume." "Let me check that candy before you eat it." "When am
I going to find the time to make all this food?" "Where are we
going to come up with the extra money for gifts this year?" The
stress of the holidays is upon us. With stress comes lower
immunity and higher susceptibility to sickness. In addition,
stress affects our mood and can tarnish the joy of the holidays.
Here are some tips to make your holidays less stressful, thus
keeping you and your family healthier.

Core Questions
By
Lloyd J Thomas
When I was in school, the highest
premium was paid the kid who had the "right answers." Having the
right answers got kids top grades, parental approval, peer group
envy and often, loneliness. Most children were taught how to "be
right" and "do the right thing." Very few were taught how to "be
loved" and "be a loved person." If you had the choice, would you
rather be right or loved? Not an easy question.
