Dr. Randy Cale’s Terrific Parenting column: The child who falls apart after school (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The teacher describes your child as pleasant, cooperative, and helpful. You briefly wonder whether there has been a clerical error. At home, the backpack lands, complaints begin, a meltdown follows, and a simple request becomes a major production. You listen, reassure, redirect, and try to help. Somehow, tomorrow brings another performance. An occasional difficult afternoon is understandable. Hunger, fatigue, disappointment, and genuine distress deserve care. But our focus here is the repeated m
Dr. Randy Cale’s Terriffic Parenting: What can wait — and what cannot (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is a reasonable thing to say. We have work to complete, messages to answer and responsibilities that do not disappear because someone wants our attention. Yet we can say those five words so often that they become the way we live. We finish one thing, discover another and keep asking the most important parts of our lives to wait. The email receives an answer. The moment of kindness remains unspoken. We straighten out a billing mistake but postpone calling someone we miss. Somewhere along the w
Dr. Randy Cale’s Terriffic Parenting: I’m not arguing. I’m just explaining why I’m right. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently came across a cocktail napkin bearing this wonderfully honest sentence: “I am not arguing.

Read excerpt
Most of us have become remarkably skilled at postponing our lives. We tell ourselves that things will settle down after this week, after the project is finished, after the kids get through this phase, after the house is organized, after the vacation, after retirement, or perhaps after some mysterious future moment when the universe finally stops sending us things to deal with. Life keeps coming. There is another email, another appointment, another problem to solve, another headline to read and,
Dr. Randy Cale’s Terrific Parenting: Pulling back the reins on a racing mind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For a few glorious weeks each summer, Saratoga celebrates horses bred to run. Speed is admired. Racing is encouraged. Thousands arrive hoping to watch something move very, very fast. Unfortunately, some of our brains seem to believe they have also entered the races at Saratoga. Thoughts race. Worries race. We rehearse tomorrow while replaying yesterday. And somewhere around 2:00 in the morning, the brain decides this would be an excellent time to reconsider every unfinished issue from the previo
