Sandra L. Dye is a child, teen and parenting expert who completed her doctoral coursework at the Professional School of Psychology. She has extensive experience over her twenty-six years in private practice helping parents and their children use the positive power of connecting, to support and influence each other.
From her education and clinical work, Sandra has developed a 5-step system that she has used to guide families to understand one another and resolve conflicts. Her website, one-step-ahead-parenting.com is a problem solving, interactive site designed for parents, teens and tweens to connect, learn from and communicate with each other.
Sandra's 5-step system goes beyond other blogs and articles that provide simple one shot quick advice, to a single problem. Sandra has developed a teachable, systematic approach to help parents and children gain perspective and achieve effective solutions. Sandra believes that solutions are within every person. The challenge is helping each family member connect, define the problem situation, gain perspective and then get to the solutions.
Sandra's fundamental belief in parent's knowledge about their children led to development of a unique site that integrates expert knowledge and a proven 5-step system of parenting with each parent's knowledge of their children. Now, Sandra is fulfilling her lifelong passion and dedication to children and families by making her tools and skills accessible to parents and children worldwide.
It is not life events that matter most, but rather, it is how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
We all seek to be understood. In being understood, we get to truly understand ourselves.
Once we lock down, stuck by our own closed system of thinking and feeling, we lose our ability to adapt to life's challenges and give away our power.
Growth requires that we take action. The action may be small or large. It is the consistency of our actions that lead to our greatest successes.
The mental images we paint for ourselves, the messages we tell ourselves over time become our beliefs. We must choose wisely the thoughts we feed ourselves.
Fears and anxiety happen. If you know there is no immediate action to take then hold tight. These feelings will become less intense when you wait. It is as if the pull of gravity brings them back down to earth where you can deal with them.
