Are you a parent? Here’s an interesting website shared by a friend who is learning Conscious Discipline, an approach which allows children to feel their emotions and express them in appropriate ways, avoiding blame or bullying behaviors. Rooted in Emotional Intelligence research, specific activities and resources are provided at: http://consciousdiscipline.com/resources/discipline_tips.asp
Thanks to the generosity of a sharing community of friends, we learn about resources and pass them along to you: The Wounded Warrior Regiment of the Marines has helpful resources for anyone dealing with injuries at: http://www.woundedwarriorregiment.org/index.cfm and the AboutFace website, has personal stories and resources for individuals and families about PTSD at: http://www.ptsd.va.gov/apps/AboutFace/
