The Non-Traditional Back-to-School Checklist (no school supplies nor uniforms required)

Posted on September 7, 2021September 7, 2021 by Pulse of Barbados

Many students have returned to school after 1.5 years outside of the physical classroom, and some will be starting soon after Labor Day. As parents cipher through their schools and classes Back-to-School supplies list, it would be remiss of me not to highlight the non-traditional checklist that is oftentimes overlooked and put on the backburner…

Protect, Not Politicize, Black Hair: this Saga Needs to End

Posted on April 4, 2021April 4, 2021 by Pulse of Barbados

As I casually scrolled through my IG and Facebook social media, I saw sporadic posts alluding to what from the outside looking in, was a hair kerfuffle, yet again. As someone who is deliberate about keeping a pulse on what is going on in Barbados, I did my cursory Whatsapp messaging to get more on-the-ground…

Our children & youth: wraparound them.

Posted on September 8, 2020September 8, 2020 by Pulse of Barbados

WHEW. There is a LOT to process right now in Barbados and in the world. Death. Pandemic. Suicide. Abuse. Safety. Mental Health. Racism. Youth in crisis. So much to wade through, while still keeping our heads up in a seemingly indefinite global social, political, and health upheaval. This post has been long coming as there…

Education…to what end?

Posted on March 6, 2020April 4, 2020 by Pulse of Barbados

I recently had yet another, and ongoing conversation with one of my freshman students (15 years old) that, when coupled with my professional development course work in Educational Leadership and Management, has really made me think. I can slowly and visibly see him becoming disengaged with the educational process. His profile- a young, Latino male,…

Part II: Developing teens ages 14-18 years, the paradigm shifting years

Posted on September 16, 2019September 16, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

In Part I of this 3-part series, we discussed the needs of 11-14 year olds, and the strategies that can be used to work with them, whether they are the most “challenging” or the “easiest” children to work with. In the article Part I: Raising and/or working with youth ages 11-14 years, we also outlined…

Part I: Raising and/or working with youth ages 11-14 years

Posted on September 3, 2019September 15, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

When I tell people that I prefer working with middle or high school students, high school preferred, they usually get this confused look on their face that in summation begs the age old question of…why? To which I would respond- why not? Having worked with secondary aged and college level students for over a decade…

Co-parenting when parenting was not the end-goal and/or when a relationship dissolves

Posted on August 9, 2019August 9, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

A recent national tragedy in Barbados, which will not be rehashed, has prompted this posting. Though reactive, the goal is to provide parents with some of the tools needed to successfully co-parent, beyond the at times muck and mire of contentious relationships between the Mum and Dad. First, the relationship between the child and their…

Summer = the Active and Legacy Building Zone

Posted on July 19, 2019July 19, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

I know, I know…I haven’t posted in almost a month because…life. There is really no excuse for not posting and I know people have been checking because I see the regional Google Analytics. So, I apologize for not being as consistent for the past month. Why haven’t I been posting? To keep it short and…

Nip the Violence

Posted on June 20, 2019June 20, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

In the first 6 months of this year, Barbados has had over 30 deaths due to shooting violence. For a country that has less than 300,000 people, and that is generally known for having a pretty cool, calm, collected, and safe vibe, these statistics are a lot to digest and staggering, especially as a Bajan….
