   End of School Year: A Mixed Bag of Emotions

   Our lives are shaped by calendars. The school calendar may be one of the most significant shapers in family life. Homeschool, private school, and public school all have a calendar with an annual beginning and end. An end of the school year can be mixed bag. Pride and grief. Excitement and sadness. New beginnings and a past full of memories. With a high school graduation, an eighth grade promotion, and a fifth grade promotion all next week; I'm feeling the weight of it all. Maybe you are too. Maybe it's graduate school for your household. Or a last year in your area before a big move. Listen in a give yourself permission to grieve. Grief can give life. It invites us to live in the present while we hold the future with open hands. Whatever your end of the school year brings, may you embrace it. Let it do it's work, so you can embrace all that is coming after the end of the school year.

   Silence Kills

   Local author and speaker, Scott Harvey, joined me. We talked about how business communication skills support parents. A father himself, with two daughters, we talked about: How we handle our stuff (emotions and reactions) to help our kids handle theirs How we hold emotion and logic in balance for communication with our kids Ways to know our kids, what they enjoy and value, and share that with them AND when silence can give life in communication with our kids. His book released this week. You can get a copy anywhere books are sold! Let me be clear. It is not a parenting book. As a parent, I'm glad I read it. You can learn more about it here. https://speakingofharvey.com/silence-kills/ (https://speakingofharvey.com/silence-kills/)
