We worry about them every day. We work hard to provide them a comfortable, safe haven. Despite our best efforts, we sometimes need help. If you are concerned that your child may have some learning or attention problems, or needs an educational plan to meet their unique needs, psychological and neuropsychological testing is a good idea. If you’re concerned about your child’s behavior including episodes of sadness, excessive anger or acting out, decreased interest in favorite activities, mood swings, or sudden changes in appetite or sleep, counseling is a good option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1590012439388-7QLH2E1A5IBHHCQ98SEB/zachary-nelson-98Elr-LIvD8-unsplash.jpg Children & Teens - Teens We all know that teenagers can often butt heads with their parents. Our teens face more issues than ever before. Beyond the physical and psychological changes caused by puberty, they struggle with issues of self-esteem, self-identification and personal image. Some engage in risky behaviors with little sense of the consequences. While focused on the advantages of the technology our generation has created, they don’t always consider its dangers. How do we help them be all that they want to be?

It allows you to assign less or no weight to the insult, possibly even the person themselves. However, if you decide it is important to take up the insult (i.e., it is worthy of a response), consider what sort of response you want to make. Do you want to use humor, sarcasm, factual evidence, etc.? This may depend upon the person who has made the insult, as well as any audience you or they may have. It’s also important to consider the likely reaction(s) you may get from the person themselves and any others. Whatever it is, how you tell your story online can make all the difference.” bit.ly/3FppuPp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/e2e9dcf1-baf1-4c5e-b411-3ba213c50f8e/Screenshot+2023-03-06+at+2.34.46+PM.png Media Notes - The Correlation Between Autism and Disordered Eating That Everyone Needs To Understand Research suggests an overlap exists between autism and eating disorders: Around 20 to 35 percent of women with anorexia, compared to just one percent of the general population of women, meet the criteria for autism. Finally, another common feature of autism is “over-reliance on routines and more rigid thinking, which usually comes with 'rules,'” explains licensed clinical psychologist Jephtha Tausig Ph.D. This, she says, can translate to rigid behaviors around food. bit.ly/3ZJmnMr https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/14cbf8fa-a8cb-4142-8091-dd4550dea66a/Screen+Shot+2023-01-03+at+6.46.28+PM.png Media Notes - Setting New Year’s Goals for 2023 - Fox 5 NY reached out to Dr. Jeph to discuss how to approach setting goals. Dr. Jeph’s four tips and a link to the story are listed below. Give yourself a sense of balance, and don't emphasize things you didn't achieve the previous year. Ease into resolutions and make them easy to accomplish. Don't set yourself up for potential failure with major changes that may be more difficult to achieve in a shorter period. Focus on things you are grateful for to balance those that you are interested in changing Divide your goals into smaller, more achievable steps with realistic time frames.

So how soon is too soon for kids to start doing the boyfriend/girlfriend thing? And when can they graduate to actual dating? I went to a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) and two Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) for some expert advice, plus pooled parents across the country, and the answer is… it depends. Experts and caregivers pretty much agree that there is no single age where dating becomes acceptable, and that it’s more about your child’s maturity level and understanding.

Articulate what you are and aren’t comfortable with in a respectful manner Boundaries are important in general, as they are the guidelines or rules we make for ourselves as adults. This is also important with parents as we become fellow adults and that we are determining boundaries for ourselves instead of having them imposed upon us as they were when we were children. There aren’t specific rules here. It’s more about what we are and aren’t comfortable with ourselves. It is important to know where our parents leave off, and we begin and vice versa. Articulating this in a polite and respectful manner is always possible. bit.ly/3RbRjlt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/3d3f11ec-e95f-40ac-b538-f4da6c703d35/Screen+Shot+2022-12-14+at+5.14.37+PM.png Media Notes - "Sittervising" Is Trending: Here’s Why It’s Good for You and Baby. How does sittervising help you and baby? Despite the guilt and anxiety that comes with sittervising, experts do say this trend is actually helpful for both parents and baby. More commonly known as solitary play, experts say sitting back and allowing your child to play without you helps baby learn essential developmental skills. “Solitary play helps with being comfortable alone, with personal self-expression without an audience or partner,” says Jephtha Tausig, PhD, a New York City-based clinical psychologist. “It balances the experiences children have with others.” tinyurl.com/42v79syf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1640724644759-J5FJWPOAJR6COXP43OY3/unsplash-image-mAGZNECMcUg.jpg Media Notes - Pandemic Anxiety during the Holiday Season. She said, "People started to feel more confident at the beginning of fall due to the combination of vaccines becoming readily available and the booster rollouts. However, with the new variants and the greater rate of infections we see globally, we are starting to get anxious all over again. The situation has drastically changed since NYC was the epicenter in 2020; booster shots are now readily available to almost the whole U.S. population. The news reports are well-meaning, and they're not trying to make our holiday anxiety worse; they are meant to protect us." Dr. Tausig recommends getting your information from reliable sources and taking a break from social media to avoid feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and uncertainty. bit.ly/3e9jrmp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1640724535529-PPMCLG84MHOMXJAKXVZ7/unsplash-image-4pZu15OeTXA.jpg Media Notes - The threat of Covid-19 and Omicron variant causing anxiety this Holiday Season. Fox 5 NY reached out to Dr. Jeph to share her thoughts on the latest pandemic fatigue and the anxiety before the holidays. "I'm hearing from colleagues and seeing an uptick in people's anxiety, uncertainty, and depression this season impacted by Covid news. Anxiety and depression become a clinical issue when feelings cross a line from being transitory to more long-term and meet the criterion for a diagnosis. It depends on the degree that they affect our functioning." If you're thinking about seeking out mental health services, Dr. Tausig said "the process can be overwhelming. You can check with your insurance, you can also check with your current health care providers and you can check with some local universities and colleges, and medical centers that have mental health teaching and training programs. They often offer services at reduced rates. What’s important is finding appropriate support to help alleviate your stress and provide ways to better cope with this season's anxiety." bit.ly/3mqDYYt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1637178568056-8LJD4CPIKDI9GGGTFK43/unsplash-image-7KQe_8Meex8.jpg Media Notes - How Often Do Couples Argue or Fight in a Healthy Relationship? Dr. Jeph said, “What is important to know is that all relationships have some conflict – that this is inevitable because two minds are not always perfectly in sync (nor would we expect this). How are things getting resolved (or not)? Is the couple consistently having the same conflicts repeatedly? Do they move past current conflicts and on towards new ones?

Dr. Jeph shares her perspective on Autism and Anxiety in this story for Healthline Magazine. Research suggests that anxiety is more common in autistic people. A 2019 study of sibling pairs indicated that about 20 percent of autistic people had anxiety compared with about 9 percent of the population controls. “Many [autistic] people are fully aware they’re struggling in ways their peers may not be, and that they have some sensitivities and issues that their peers may not,” says Dr. Jephtha Tausig, a New York City-based clinical psychologist. bit.ly/3hPPaLN https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1628525674385-H3J8P4NJ9NCAU15FWJAT/Screen+Shot+2021-08-09+at+11.44.20+AM.png Media Notes - Gaslighting Dr. Jeph was asked to contribute to Fox5 NY’s report on Gaslighting. She said, “It is something by which somebody causes you to question yourself.” The majority of the time, it can be deliberate, and it is a way for a person to undermine another person’s perception of a previous event. Dr. Jeph suggested, “if you are aware that someone is deliberately gaslighting you, then you might want to take their comments less seriously.” bit.ly/3Au9k4H https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1627593371404-WE5BPHIVF6ITGLMUNGPS/IMG_5632.jpeg Media Notes - Fight Body Shaming A new billboard in Times Square is at the center of a body-shaming controversy. The debate is picking up online as some female celebrities are doing public with their own struggles with weight and body image. “ Dr. Jeptha Tausig, a Clinical Psychologist, says,” body shaming can force someone to reconsider who they are and how they present themselves. The thing to remember is how much do you want to weight this topic and how much emphasis do you want to put on what the other person is thinking.” She said, “ taking the high road is usually the best option.” bit.ly/3kK6mVi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1621009507424-77B2SW7GV3D1QH844R5M/bb851d79-cbb2-4ee4-a73f-d34bac761710.png Media Notes - From Screen to Seen: Lessons on Cultivating Defiant Joy and Supporting Young People in a Post-Pandemic World I have been proud to be a supporter of this organization for the past six years and honored to have received "The Dancing Classrooms Humanitarian Award in 2015." Dancing Classrooms offers a way for children to express themselves with movement, which is increasingly essential and never more so since the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr.Jeph’s recent comments here “I think it would have been just so much more complicated than it already has been if there weren't outlets like the Dancing Classrooms available to our children and our teens. As we've heard mentioned today, creativity is open to everyone, and I think encouraging creativity for everyone makes a huge difference when processing daily life. It's universal; it is part and parcel of who we are as human creatures and so providing outlets and avenues for personal joy is invaluable for everyone." Said Dr. Jeph on the recent “Defiant Joy,” a virtual online conversation moderated with Mickela Mallozzi and panelists Renny Fong, PS 130M's Principal, Yaicana Peña Casita Maria Center for Arts and Education Program Coordinator, Dr. Derrick Leon Washington, a Cultural Anthropologist Specialized in Dance & UN Senior/Regional Human Rights Fellow at UN Headquarters and Dr. Dennie Palmer Wolf WolfBrown Principal Researcher.

The story, after over a year of living under COVID restrictions, reactivating your social skills as the nation reopens may be a little bit awkward. Psychologists say that the thought of socializing or meeting people is beginning to not even occur to those who’ve been working or having virtual meetings at home.

Some parents expect their kids to do exactly what they say, no questions asked. Others micromanage every aspect of their child’s life in an effort to keep them safe and set them up for success. And yet others embrace a laid-back approach, allowing their offspring to make their own choices on just about everything. If more than one of these approaches resonates with you yet none seems like a perfect fit, that’s OK. Although psychologists and parenting experts frequently attempt to sort parents into neat categories, “I think very few of us fit into rigid buckets, and people can swing between the various styles,” says Jephtha Tausig, PhD, a New York-based clinical psychologist and clinical supervisor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center. You might find yourself shifting based on your child’s age, your child’s temperament, or even the time of day.

We have seen an increase in individuals and families seeking services. Dr. Jephtha Tausig says, "remote learning gives many students the feeling they're going it alone, and they can start to withdraw. You want to look for changes in sleep; you want to look for changes in eating patterns also if they are no longer enjoying things that they used to take pleasure in if your child seems to have low energy if it's difficult even to get them to smile the way they used to and after feeling lonely from learning alone". bit.ly/2ZtxGeD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1613672890341-T9Y8Y6XU243Y2WG70ZIY/150150994_878871549558587_7211971584193855450_n.jpg Media Notes - Fox 5 NY reached out to Dr. Jeph about late a newly coined phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. Dr. Jeph said, "The natural separations and the natural boundaries between various aspects of our lives have essentially become so thin. We fall into a trap and feel anxious or overworked, worried, or out of control. It's an attempt to give yourself a breather to provide yourself with some decompression time, which is very hard for many of us to get these days because everything is intruding and everything kind of separation between work-home life." bit.ly/3djz0sx https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1613681192799-WUTW0CYONFH2FWMILYYM/Screen+Shot+2021-02-18+at+3.42.45+PM.png Media Notes - Children’s Calming Toys - what your need to know from Parentology Jephtha Tausig, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, believes calming toys can help a range of children with self-soothing. “These toys can be especially helpful for children suffering from autism, attention-deficit disorders, anxiety, and other sensory processing disorders,” Tausig tells Parentology. That being said, Tausig doesn’t want parents to think these toys are the only method for settling their children. She recommends coupling calming toys with other options, depending on what your child’s needs are at the time. A soothing bath, punching bag, or even a fidget spinner can all also help children in mild a state of emotional turmoil. While both Lopez and Tausig believe calming toys can benefit children suffering from various sensory processing disorders, Tausig wants parents to know not every child will experience the same level of relief. bit.ly/3avkcVS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec3fcd0b2a755173966cad4/1613166183386-TQ1KQ9QFLOTLCIGE1SQN/Screen+Shot+2021-02-12+at+4.40.10+PM.png Media Notes - Depression in Kids: How to Recognize Symptoms and Get Treatment Depression usually doesn't have one direct cause; rather, it results from a combination of different factors.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression linked to seasonal changes—most commonly occurring during the fall and winter months when daylight hours are reduced. Unlike general depression, SAD follows a predictable pattern and is closely tied to circadian rhythm disruption, serotonin regulation, and light exposure. While mild seasonal mood shifts are common, SAD can significantly affect energy levels, motivation, and overall functioning. Below, Dr. Jeph,answers frequently asked questions about Seasonal Affective Disorder, including risk factors, treatment options, and when to seek professional support. What differentiates Seasonal Affective Disorder from general depression? “SAD is related to the amount of full-spectrum daylight that an individual is exposed to. Individuals with SAD are more sensitive to this and when the days get shorter, they can experience increased sadness, less energy, and often an increased craving for sweets (this comes as an attempt by the body to raise dropping serotonin levels which have been associated with SAD).” Who is more likely to experience Seasonal Affective Disorder? “SAD seems to involve circadian-related genes and serotonin pathways. There is some evidence of family history increasing an individual’s risk and some mutations involving melatonin sensitivity increasing an individual’s vulnerability to developing SAD.” What are the most effective treatments for Seasonal Affective Disorder? “Light therapy (with a 10K lux light box) is often helpful at taking the edge off of the depressed mood and decreased energy associated with SAD. Other pro-health behaviors include regular exercise, good nutrition, sufficient sleep, and social activities.” When do seasonal mood changes require professional support? By severity: how much are symptoms interfering with an individual’s functioning at work, school, and in the community?
