  1. Lol we definitely differ on the obvious reasons.
  2. I love this board! Y’all are funnier than the Baylor boards. Fans from every single big 12 team and more post here without incident, but Baylor is uniquely detested for obvious reasons.
  3. [emoji30][emoji30] this is almost certainly true. It’s been a fun ride.
  4. Bears have been living rent free in surlys head for years now.
  5. Well that was fun. We don’t have the depth to go past sweet 16 anyway.
  6. Lol y’all have been fawning on our guys all year. Especially sochan.
  7. I think I might have a heart attack. Now or never, bears. Need Adam and James to go off stat.
  8. Super excited these baylor bench guys got meaningful minutes. Wish we’d had more of that in the regular season.
  9. We’ll show up on Saturday /nojinx/. Im in aspen and trying to talk the family into leaving a day early to go.
  10. Baylor looking good against Norfolk state. Glad to see dale bonner getting some minutes—we’re gonna need some good bench play if we want to get anywhere.
  11. The research on EMDR is super exciting and promising. I’m only familiar with it in the context of trauma but I find the neuroscience behind it fascinating!
  12. I tell my high school students what my grandmom told me, “We must master our emotions or be mastered by them, and emotions are a selfish, fickle master.”
  13. Exactly. We feed into this distorted thinking by over-sympathizing with “the worst day ever.” One of the best things we can do as parents is to help our kids put their suffering into perspective. We acknowledge the feelings, then guide them to correct for skewed thinking. “Mrs. Howard hates me!” “Man! You sound really upset. What happened?” “She hates me!” “Tell me more about what happened.” This is where your child may get reluctant to share details because s/he knows deep down the evidence does not support the claim. Etc.
  14. I’m sure the first thing the doctor will do is take her off social media. I’d go a step further and take away a smartphone completely. She will feel like you’re punishing her, but just let her know it’s not true. This is what a good parent would do, and you really want to be a good parent. The research on adolescent girls and social media is overwhelming. I’d also recommend taking a family trip with no phones and reengaging. There’s an excellent book called, Hold on to your Kids by Gabor and mate that explains why kids’ primary attachment must be their parents who love them unconditionally. The last thing may seem counterintuitive right now but I would require more of her. Children and adolescents need work, hard work, to feel capable, valuable and like they belong. If it’s work outdoors even better. Keith McCurdy is a LPC that talks about raising sturdy kids and he’s been guests on several podcasts you can google, talking about anxiety and depression in teens being directly related to a lack of adversity. He also addresses negative confirmation bias and how we need to equip our teens to use their emotions as a gauge and not as a guide for how to live their lives. Emotions are real, but not reliable for decision-making. I prayed for your family just now!
  15. Big 12 champs in football, mbb and wbb. Such a fun year. Wish we didn’t have to share with hawks.
  16. And we’re trying to let them back in. Up by 12.
  17. Cyclones trying to outdo them. Baylor fans literally cheered just now on their first bucket in 12 mins.
