Can “closure” end the pain?

Posted on July 9, 2008 by D3 Support

Don’t Take It Personally!

Posted on July 2, 2008 by D3 Support

Are you a Child Whisperer?

Posted on June 25, 2008 by D3 Support

One of my favorite TV shows is ‘Dog Whisperer’ on National Geographic Channel, featuring the celebrated dog behavior specialist, Cesar Millan. His common-sense approach to controlling the conduct of dogs works unfailingly, time after time. Interestingly, in every episode it … Continue reading →

Posted on June 18, 2008 by D3 Support

I hear horror stories all the time about bad experiences with service providers such as plumbers, electricians, contractors, mechanics and the like. I find it hard to believe that there can be so many trades people out there who are … Continue reading →

Who are we to judge?

Posted on June 11, 2008 by D3 Support

I received a surprising number of emails and letters regarding my column about when—and when not—to end a friendship. While most of you agreed that there’s almost endless potential for friendships out there, some accused me of being too ‘judgmental.’ … Continue reading →

Is your college kid an adult?

Posted on May 28, 2008 by D3 Support

For parents of college students, summer can be an opportunity to reconnect with the children who’ve been living away from home—many for the first time. Although it’s reasonable to expect it to be a happy experience, it can be full … Continue reading →

Replace Labels with a Healthy Outlook

Posted on May 21, 2008 by D3 Support

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love it when I hit a nerve. Apparently I stirred things up a bit with my article questioning the effectiveness of ‘multitasking.’ You know, the process by which one does … Continue reading →
