I’ve gone through the stage of adolescent friendships with my daughter; it started around age 8 and lasted up until the end of high school. But when she read this post, she could see exactly where the issues lay within the 3 affinities.

So I hope this helps parents who are navigating the delicate stage of adolescent female friendships right now.

Be sure to send it to a friend who could use this too.

The lessons embedded in Ninjago have made me recommend the series to many parents. It’s so good, J and I are rewatching it for the 3rd time!

“Beneath the icons of dragons and ninjas there’s this compelling full narrative around kids gaining confidence, finding their inner voice, learning something new about themselves, realizing something, and suddenly they can do more.”

Which of these quotes hit you the most? Which of these will you share with your child?

As promised, here’s a condensed guide to your nutritional needs in perimenopause & menopause.

Extra info:
🫀During perimenopause, being obese is associated with risks of heart disease, venous thromboembolism & a variety of cancers, including breast cancer. Taking your waist circumference measurement can confirm your risk. And after menopause, a woman’s risk of heart disease increases due to a lack of estrogen, where 1 in 3 women will develop heart disease.

🦴Fractures from osteoporosis are more common than heart attack, stroke & breast cancer combined. That’s because estrogen improves bone density & decreases the risk of fractures. 1 in 3 women in Canada will break a bone due to osteoporosis in their lifetime.

💙Soy diets rich in isoflavones have been claimed to show some benefit in managing mild vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) & providing bone and breast protection, but results are not definitive.

Being a supermom is a term I never use for myself. I think it glorifies productivity without getting any help or rest! And it actually compares women to each other. It’s the opposite of what I want to do or be.

But if I want more time to spend with my kid’s & family, I need to implement what was said above and change my mindset.

⭐️If any of this resonated with you, you’ll want to listen to the Mel Robbins podcast, “How to Get Things Done, Stay Focused, and Be More Productive” with Dr. Cal Newport.

⁉️How do you feel about the busyness of today’s world? Do you think we can shift it?

Tips to help maintain a healthy body weight:
1. The daily protein intake should be 1–1.2 g/kg body weight (20% of energy) and half should come from plant sources.
2. Reducing energy by 500–700 kcal per day can be achieved by omitting snacks between meals, incorporating small meals but reducing portion sizes, & avoiding sugar-containing liquids & alcoholic beverages.
3. Maintain adequate fluid intake: 33 mL/kg/day. Estrogen & progesterone can affect fluid & electrolyte balance.
4. Reduce saturated fatty acids & trans fats, which affect your blood cholesterol levels, and instead include omega-3 fatty acids.
5. Eat whole foods that keep you full & help stabilize your blood sugar: whole grains, lean proteins, healthy nuts, fruits & vegetables.
6. Eat low insulin demanding foods to stabilize your blood sugar levels: leafy greens, broccoli, fish, poultry, oatmeal, brown rice.
7. Maintain 30–45 g/day of fibre rich foods to keep you full longer & manage your blood sugar levels: legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas, soy), artichoke hearts, chia seeds, raspberries, blackberries, broccoli, quinoa.
9. Incorporate cardiovascular exercise: it burns calories & can help maintain weight.
10. Start strength training to help build & maintain your muscle mass, which then boosts your metabolism.
11. Sleep Quality: read or meditate before bed; keep the room dark & cool; limit your caffeine & screen time before bed to allow your body’s melatonin to do its job. Improved sleep quality is associated with strong CV health.
12. Stress management: set healthy boundaries around you; start mindfulness, meditation, yoga & deep breathing to lower your cortisol levels.
13. Speak with your doctor if you think you need hormone therapy.

My students love Nearpod ❤️

Active learning is an instructional approach that involves actively engaging students with the course material through discussions, problem solving, case studies, role plays and other methods. It places more responsibility on the learner than passive approaches (such as lectures).

By using Nearpod’s various online activities, didactic lessons become engaging and interactive.

If students fully participate, it places more responsibility on the learner than passive approaches.

Used appropriately, it provides the instructor with feedback on their teaching, the material and student comprehension.

If you haven’t tried Nearpod yet, what are you waiting for!
