These two are the best of friends. And they fight. A lot.

You’re going to fight, so do it right.

These two are best friends. And they fight. A lot. But they are learning to be angry without being mean. I'm hopeful they will grow up to treat others with the same love and respect.

Being fun and playful

Training my puppy is having a positive effect on all of my relationships.

I know that forcing a puppy to do what I want creates distrust. So I choose a better option – being fun and playful while I teach her to listen.

Harvard agrees – talking about relationships is the key!

Harvard has just released research on how to promote young people’s healthy relationships and prevent misogyny and sexual harassment.

We love it when research tells us what we already know! Chat about love with those you love!

Patience, kindness, and acceptance for puppies and people

Are you treating the people in your life with love and understanding? And are the people in your life doing the same for you?

My puppy reminds me daily that patience, kindness, and acceptance go a long way in building healthy and fun relationships.

Snowboarding for healthy relationships

There are so many ways to build confidence, and confidence is a good place to start from when building a healthy relationship.

I was scared to stand on  a board. Now I can’t wait to  get back on the mountain.  The difference? My friends  cheering me on.  Encourage girls and  women to take risks and  build their confidence!
