    Hello From Guatemala

    Where in Guatamala are you? I traveled around there (living in Mexico City now), and I loved Lago Atitlan. I lived for about 7 weeks in Antigua.

    Learning to accept critique

    For me it is two fold. 1. I don't ever react to critique in the moment. I always wait at least one night of sleep. I have ADHD and part of that is having extreme sensitivity to rejection. Any type of critique feels like rejection. It almost physically hurts. However, that is temporary. If I...

    Out with the old (me), in with the new (baby).

    It happened to me as well. It didn't help that my daughter was ill a lot during the first few years and my ex husband completely useless in helping. His contribution to trying to talk about these things was "but you wanted the baby"... My daughter just turned 5, and for the last year I've been...

    Bedtime

    it depends on how old he is. My daughter also hates bedtime, but I simply do not make it optional. There is still some drama some days but she realizes that it is useless to fight it, because I'm more stubborn than she is...

    Coping with Social Anxiety (Parties are Painful)

    I like to see being social as a muscle. If you don't use it you lose it, but you also don't try to lift 100kg on your first try. Maybe start with smaller settings, like a dinner with just a friend couple. Something that has a set beginning and end time, so you know in advance when it is over...

    Writing for 8 hours straight

    My coping strategy? I don't write 8 hours a day. :) What I do do, if I have to write a lot, is to work 4 hours in the morning (9:00 - 13:00) and another 4 in the evening (7:30 -11:30), but I try to mix it up between doing research, writing content, and writing outlines for future content. And...

    Seeking Relationship Advise

    It is normal, and yes, you should seek help. A therapist can help you manage those feelings and help you create a more fulfilling life for yourself. Not that you need someone else to have that, but living with fear is not nice at all.

    Growing up with your own child

    What helps me is to remember that my daughter will learn from me. Not from what I tell her or teach her, but from what she sees from me. I want her to be happy, so I have to be happy. I want her to be able to do self care, so I have to do self care. I want her to have a great balance between...

    Allergies

    Yes! My daughter had a cow milk protein allergy, egg allergy and a possible gluten intolerance. So basically we couldn't eat anything processed. Luckily she grew over most of it, and now she can have some milk products although I still prefer to give her coconut or almond milk. I personally also...

    How do I balance my career and taking care of my kids

    Quality over quantity. Make sure that at least once a week you have a few hours for each child to do something with them that is only for them. Don't force them to talk to you, but just enjoy time spend together.

    Balancing feelings in a blended family

    I think it is up to the step parent to understand the child, not the child to understand the stepparent. I also think it is extremely important to make sure you always side with your child, while still being honest and fair. Your child should never feel like the opinion of your partner is more...

    Creating YouTube channel

    Honestly? I am not sure that if you are a freelance writer, a youtube channel is the best next step. You are a writer, not an entertainer...

    Spreading respect among students

    I'd first check with them if they actually care about it. Maybe it is simply their way of bonding and enjoying themselves and they know they don't mean anything bad by it.

    Starting as a freelance writer and blogger

    For what it is worth, I enjoy blog posts about starting much more than I do about people who want to tell me how to do things. I think a very interesting approach, and one that I have not seen much, is if you would be completely honest about your process. Such as, trying out new software for to...

    Parenting Goals

    I would keep it simple. What children need is fairly basic. You could set goals like "at least 30 minutes a day play time, without electronics for either of us" "doing at least once a week an activity that he/she choses" "teaching / doing together at least 1 household activity together a...
