7 Tips on How Divorced or Separated Parents Can Make This Holiday Season Less Stressful to Thrive After Divorce
Author: Alvaro Castillo
Divorced parents struggle over the holidays to make the season joyous and exciting for their children.
1. Talk to your ex before an event to talk through plans, so you can diminish the enormous pressure children can come under when their parents' relationship changes.
2. Work out dates, times and transportation schedules then share them with your children, after the decisions have been made. Make the schedule between adults, don't put the children in the middle of this negotiation or make them choose.
3. Children are more confident when they have a routine and maintaining some of the holiday traditions can be a way of bridging the past and future.
4. Get Real. Be realistic in your expectations - handmade gifts, homemade holiday cards and simple dinners. Pick traditions that are most important to you, create new ones.
5. Holidays can trigger feelings of grief, loss, and remorse - regardless of who ended the situation. Thoughts

Mind Set: Don't Feel Guilty
Author: Alvaro Castillo
The experience of guilt is an enormous burden. People actually feel guilty for feeling guilty. Often, those in the religious community are prone to complain about guilt. They perceive God as the ‘cop in the sky’ who is looking to apply retribution. Adults who were the products of poor parenting are more susceptible to real guilt and viewing God is a tyrannical figure.
Unfortunately, people may doubt their salvation, feel like God has abandoned them and immerse themselves in obsessing over minor infractions.
It is my opinion that we need to kick out any God that would make us feel small. A loving God cherishes His children, forgives them and elevates them in His eyes. We are His kings and queens, and we need to stand tall in His presence.
Real guilt can be defined as missing the mark. We fall short of our convictions and need to make amends. We do this by accepting the forgiveness that is already our inheritance, forgiving ourselves f
Dad Advice: Traumatic Birth
Author: Paul Banas
The process of becoming a mother involves a certain amount of psychological strain for a pregnant woman. In fact, for some women, childbirth can be as traumatic as life-threatening events such as a natural disaster or a war.

The Legend and Charm of the Tooth Fairy
Author: Alvaro Castillo
The legend and myth of the Tooth Fairy is a delightful part of our modern family culture. Kids dream about receiving a special gift or money from this charming, magical fairy. Adults fondly remember the Tooth Fairy as a wonderful childhood fantasy of their youth, and they pass on the mystery and charm to their own young children.
In most households, the Tooth Fairy operates under cover of darkness, coming to visit after a child loses what are commonly called baby teeth.
Parents help perpetuate the fantasy by showing their children how to place the lost tooth under their sleeping pillow or in a special holder or pillow made just for the Tooth Fairy. Then, the Tooth Fairy herself visits during the middle of the night, exchanging the tooth for a gift or monetary reward. The Tooth Fairy is a lovely fantasy, but how exactly did she originate?
FAIRIES, FAIRIES EVERYWHERE
The beginnings of the Tooth Fairy probably began many centuries ago in a cu
