Feeling nostalgic today looking back at photos of these early days being home as a new mom. There are so many things I wish I could go back tell myself... time goes by so quickly ... being a mom is the most exhausting yet rewarding job everyone has opinions, trust your instincts it’s ok to ask for help What would you go back and tell your new mom self?

We are all struggling with low motivation right now, but I am continuing to have conversations with the teens I work with on how to maintain their motivation levels while doing school online. Here are a few tips I’ve given them that I want to share with you: 1 get adequate sleep 2 reward yourself for completing the task 3 find an accountability buddy... Low motivation is a symptom of depression so parents make sure it is just that and not a bigger mental health issue. Not sure? Seek treatment from a mental health professional. How do you keep yourself motivated right now? #parentingteens #motivation #pandemicparenting #mentalhealth

Hi! Let me reintroduce myself, my clients call me Dr. Danielle and I’m a Clinical Psychologist in Los Angeles. I have been working with teens and their families in various settings over the past 10 years and have had great success in understanding what teens go through these days. ... I am still young enough to connect with teens but old enough to understand what parents struggle with too (and a parent myself). I created the teen parenting course based on my years of experience working with families to help those who may not need weekly psychotherapy but want to improve their relationship with their teen. I look forward to sharing more about the contents of the course that I finally completed after all these years. I’d love to know, what are the biggest issues you struggle with as a parent? #parenting #parentingteens #pandemicparenting #parentofteens
