As I sat down to write this – my first post in 2013 – I feel compelled to write about the Newtown tragedy, which has haunted me since the moment I first heard about what had transpired at Sandy Hook Elementary
Since the Newtown shooting, we have talked about how such a tragedy could be prevented in the future. The proposed remedies are varied, and the emotion elicited by the conversation has been intense. While I am encouraged by the possibility of action at the national level, I also believe that we have an obligation to consider what our personal gun control policies should be. How can we, as parents, take control of gun violence risks in our own communities?

We're in the thick of awards season and while everyone is touting the names of Argo, Silver Linings Playbook and Les Mis, I have been singing the praises of what I think is this year's best movie, Parental Guidance. I'm not suggesting that it deserves any accolades for writing or acting, but I do think it delivered a funny and poignant portrayal of what is missing not only from parenting, but from manners today.

All of us with children are well versed in the challenges of helping our little ones navigate through episodes of frustration or unusual behavior. Tantrums or unexpected actions most always have a cause. Some parents, however, who end up perplexed and frustrated by the lack of an apparent trigger point may be well served to look deeper for other not-so-obvious causes for unusual behavior.

Resilience might best be described as the capacity to cope. We find this capacity in adults, in governing bodies and even in Marvel comic book heroes. But how often do we find, and foster, this capacity
An estimated two million teenagers battle depression each year. What at first appears to be an outrageous figure seems plausible when we consider the adversity our children face on a daily basis: pressure from their parents, teachers and peers; hours of homework; and all things outside of school. Resilience teaches children to stand up to adversity and ultimately become stronger because of it. There are three simple concepts that parents can practice at home to foster resilience.
