Therapy Thursday – Investigating My Adoptive Daughter’s Medical History by Hiring a Private Investigator
Last week, I just happened to be watching the Today Show Health segment in which their NBC News Chief Medical Editor, Dr. Nancy Snyderman was discussing knowing what diseases are in your family and how that information can predict your risk in getting certain diseases. Her comment was based on a recent report from the [...]
Therapy Thursday – Dating Again but
My last Therapy Thursday post discussed my brother moving in with us and how his presence has changed the dynamics of our mini-household. It got me thinking, oh, who am I kidding, I have been thinking about this for a long time, that I should start dating again. And then I think, good grief, I [...]
Therapy Thursday – There’s A Man in Our House
It’s not what you think. Sadly, my boyfriend or fiance has NOT moved in with my daughter and me, I am not even dating (but that’s another story.) My younger brother has moved in with us. He moved in a couple of weeks ago to look for job, after two years living in Louisville, Kentucky. [...]
Therapy Thursday – The Morning Routine
Sorry for the psych out and the runaround. I am having technical difficulties with my blog and videos/you tube uploading. My latest installment of Therapy Thursday on NYC Single Mom’s morning routine is pretty funny. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjnNlO3WLXU

I am pretty sure that my life at that age was [...]
Therapy Thursday – Are we there yet? Giving specific responses to questions

What are we doing today? My usual responses are “they are coming over this afternoon, we are running errands, we [...]
Therapy Thursday – Journaling and Summer Routine
Now that it’s summer, it seemed like the perfect time to tweak my daughter’s the rules and rewards chart. So instead of homework on her chart, we replaced it with either 20 minutes of reading, journaling (aka feelings journal) or working in her math workbook. Just like during the school year, doing her “work” is takes [...]
Therapy Thursday – One Task At A Time
Months ago, I developed a Rewards and Consequences chart that detailed all the tasks that my daughter was to complete and the rewards and consequences that would happen if she completed or did not complete a task. My daughter knows all the tasks she must do in the morning but still must be reminded. After weeks [...]
Therapy Thursday – Outsourcing Homework Help
Homework – it is the bane of my existence, okay, maybe not the bane of my existence but it’s pretty close. Every Monday, my daughter comes home with her lime-green homework packet. In my mind, homework is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, you never know which one you are going to get. It’s either, [...]
