Parents, Pay Attention to Their Eating Habits
The stress of going to college and being on one's own can manifest in not eating properly or in a worse case scenario, become or add to an eating disorder. If your teen has an eating disorder or has recovered from one, get in touch with their colleges wellness center to help your teen stay on course with their treatment and wellness strategies. If you feel your teen may be having a problem, talk to them. Get them a wellness appointment with their doctor to be sure all is a-okay. "Some colleges say they've seen the number of students with anorexia and bulimia increase by double digits in recent years. What they don't know is whether that's because more people have eating disorders or because more people who have them want help."

| 'Finding a Family' On the Hallmark Channel
Mark your calendars for some TV time! This looks like a real winner on my list of 'heartwarming-inspiring-movies', even if it does start out so very sad. Nothing is gained without the struggle, right? I guess. I bet the real life Alex Chivescu might have wished it had not been so hard. But I am looking forward to seeing him work it out in this show. If your teen watches it, you can talk to them about resilience and self-confidence.
The story is about a boy who ends up in the foster care system after his mother is in a car accident. His foster care placement falls apart when he is 17-years-old and he needs to be replaced, but if he leaves the high school he is in he will lose his chance at an Ivy league college - a goal he has been working towards. It is a very interesting plot and a true story. You can read more about it here link on the blog.
