Update! Dr. Nina happenings!

Hi Everyone,

Well, I am going through many changes professionally right now. My segment ended this year on TXA 21 called, "Raising Children Right". They have a new president and news director, which changed a lot of things this year at CBS 11/TXA 21. It was a great experience and they were wonderful to work with.

I am currently hosting "Top Docs of DFW". It airs every Sunday at 9:00 on CW33 or The 33. I enjoy TV and hope to continue to do more of it!

I also wanted to let everyone know that I am counseling and doing a weekly girls group on sexual abuse at Alliance for Children. I may conduct some future relationship groups for girls so please check back soon!

I will be updating the Dr. Nina website with more information on upcoming speaking engagements in schools and around the metroplex.

Finally, I have a book that I have written that will be posted soon for purchase, and I will have some great relationship and family tips on the website that can be downloaded for FREE!

I am looking forward to all of these things and hope that you gain insight and encouragement from what I am doing!

Childhood Obesity on the Rise

Moms & Dads,

Please stay tune for a special segment I will be doing on childhood obesity. Hear from a recent family that struggled with weight issues with their children and now they are making a family effort to be healthier.

Hope you are enjoying this spring weather! Today, I took my daughter to the zoo and she had a great time! I put her down for a nap and then I had to take a nap! It was all worth it. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

"Raising An Emotionally Intelligent Child"

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for not posting recently. I need to make more of an effort to post information about my segments!

The last segment I did on "Raising Children Right" is on Emotional Intelligence. Here is a video clip: http://cbs11tv.com/video/?id=51332@ktvt.dayport.com

Basically, it's learning to help your child manage ALL of their emotions, especially the negative ones. This is when it can be more challenging. For example, your child may get upset and throw something across the family room and break a lamp. Of course, you need to let them know that this is not okay. (setting limits and boundaries) The next step is to validate their emotions. They still need to have a consequence if they displayed inappropriate behavior. However, teaching them how to handle their negative emotions in the future is key. Talk with them about alternatives to throwing something in the house. How can they "let go" of some of their negative emotions such as anger in a healthy way? Let them be involved in this process but make sure they know of a solution for next time. This is how we can raise an emotionally intelligent child. To learn more, read John Gottman's book, "Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child". This is a great book!

Please email me at drninalpc@aol.com if you have any questions.

Best,
Dr. Nina
