parent stress solutions
Parenting can be one of the most extraordinary, fulfilling experiences. It’s also demanding in ways that are truly hard to imagine. From newborn and infant demands to teenage and college years to adult children who have found their way back home, you may be dealing with everything from sleep deprivation to worries about children navigating independence and self-sufficiency.
Dr. Ryger's Parenting Workshops help parents learn the tools and strategies to address modern day challenges.
teen stress solutions
From your home bedroom to your dorm room. Managing stress, school performance expectations, and navigating the “friend-scape” with the pressures of being "connected" 24/7 are really tough. Being a teenager now is not the same as it was for parents who didn’t grow up on Planet Tech.
Dr. Ryger's Teen Workshops were designed with input by teens--by asking teens what was going on and what they needed. And now, she brings that experience to teen audiences across the country.
mindfulness practices
The latest research suggests that 47 percent of the time, we have off-task thoughts during an ongoing task or activity. "Mind wandering" is both unintentional and without awareness. How we "show up" in our professional and personal spheres impacts our on-the-job productivity, our intimate relationships, and our ability to feel and appreciate experiences.
Dr. Ryger's Mindfullness workshops explore the what, why, and how, and introduce techniques for increased presence so you can learn how to be there for your life.
