Moving Beyond Shame in the New Year: How to Live the Life You Want in 2018
|
By Dr. Dan Peters
 The longer I have experienced being human and the longer I have had the privilege to sit with people daily to bear witness their journey, aspirations, and dreams, the more and more I realize the one thing that keeps people from not only meeting and sustaining their New Years resolutions, but also keeps them from experiencing joy and living to their potential. This one thing is shame.

| New Parent Footprint Podcasts: Learning Differently with Jonathan Mooney and The Sensory Child Gets Organized with Carolyn Dalgliesh |
Dr. Dan welcomed two wonderful authors to the Parent Footprint podcast this past month, both of whom offer different solutions for the needs of different kinds of people:
First, Dr. Dan spoke with dyslexic author and activist  Jonathan Mooney. Jonathan's moving story will change the way listeners think about diversity in the world: he did not learn to read until 12 years old. He faced low expectations growing up, but published his best-selling book Learning Outside The Lines (now in its 28th printing) when he was 23. Jonathan has established himself as one of the foremost leaders in the neurodiversity and the learning revolution.
Next, Dr. Dan welcomed author, speaker, organizing expert,  and parent Carolyn Dalgliesh. Carolyn is a popular expert because she teaches the how and why setting up successful systems (at home, school, and work) can help children, families, and their parents live a more peaceful and productive life. They talk about the needs of "highly sensitive children" as well as "rigid, anxious children" and discuss strategies from Carolyn's book,
The Sensory Child Gets Organized: Proven Systems for Rigid, Anxious, or Distracted Kids.
