As a mom with a school counseling degree, I have a profound interest in the current trends and research relating to a child's health and success. With this blog, my goal is to discuss and process those issues that affect my life as a mother, educator and mental health professional.
In addition to writing Henry's Treehouse, Ali is a guest contributor at
A study reported today in the Public Library of Science evidenced support that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR vaccine) is not linked to autism. This new research offers the strongest evidence yet on the MMR vaccine and autism controversy.
This blog would not exist if it were not for my inspiration, my son, Henry. Because of Henry, I often view life through a mother's lens. I constantly ask myself, "is this decision in the best interest of my son and my family?" Henry's treehouse illustrates the many roles that I play in his life. A treehouse can be used for recreation or permanent habitation, and I hope that I can show my son the joys of life while providing him unwavering stability. Additionally, for a treehouse to survive, it must be constructed amongst a strong and mature tree. I hope to be that foundation for my son. Not to mention, treehouses are a solution for an eco-friendly lifestyle. While I have no intention of moving our family into a treehouse, I try to make green choices whenever I can.
It is my hope that we can all be a treehouse in a child's life.
