Arrange date nights, candles, bubbles, all you’d always done in the beginning of your romantic relationship. Try

Parents of young children often struggle with finding time for their romantic relationship. It starts with the lack of looking at each other’s eyes.

The act of queuing in today’s society

2024/09/07

We all are victims of uninterruptedly looking at our screens, whenever there’s downtime. A wait at a restaurant for a meal, a coffee break at a Café, lining up to order any drinks or food, especially in NYC, a subway or train ride, elevator, prior to boarding a plane, the list could go on and on. Looking up and being aware of our surroundings, catching their gaze, and even start a conversation. I’m an actor of it too, lining up to order a drink and writing podcast notes.

Back to school: frustration tolerance

2024/09/04

It’s a very frequently discussed topic and no simple answer can be given.The amount of consumption of stimuli in today’s world is incredibly. Filtering all the input isn’t easy, especially for children, who haven’t yet developed their executive functions. As parents, we feel the urge to organise lots of after school activities, engage, and entertain our children, hardly letting time pass without “productive” content. This constant “ON” switch requires less frustration tolerance and there with less

Back to school: autonomy

Dr. Simone’s Mind Space ·

2024/09/04

The importance of autonomy can’t be underestimated in all ages, from birth to old age. The earlier we establish autonomy, the better for our sense of self, self-esteem, self-containment, frustration tolerance, and general independence. We all desire to be independent masters of our own lives, in very young and very mature age. Giving safe autonomy early in a baby’s, infant, and toddler’s life, requires trust, courage, patience, and respect from the parents. The more parents are aware of their

Back to school: Self-esteem

Dr. Simone’s Mind Space ·

2024/09/04

As parents, we positively influence our children’s self-esteem by giving the children autonomy from a very early age on. We can praise them for their efforts in school, extra curricular activities, sports, music, art, etc. not for their performance, grades, winning, etc. The latter reduces self-esteem, sets the child under massive performance pressure, as the child is only seen and appreciated for its performance not for oneself. Warm and loving relationships are the foundation of children’s

2024/06/12

How do we define life quality in its core? Living in today’s societies, constantly being on is difficult. We run around 24/7 in our mind and physically always being on the go, planning the next activity, task etc. Being and living in the moment isn’t even existing anymore. That’s very sad and concerning, with regards to our mental and physical health. It takes a lot of effort to get into a state of calm and relaxation, when the mind is constantly on overdrive.
