    How Parents Can Mentally Reboot After a Stressful Week

    05/08 /2 Comments

    To mentally reboot after those weeks that feel like a blur but also weirdly endless at the same time? The ones where everything goes a little sideways, the house looks like a tornado hit it, and by Friday, your brain feels like it’s running on fumes?

    Parenting Evolution Unveiled: Past Traditions vs Present Realities

    03/30 /1 Comment

    Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how much parenting has evolved over the years. As a mom at 49, I can’t help but compare my own childhood to the way I’ve raised my son.

    Should You Teach Your Children About Mistakes You’ve Made?

    03/25 /1 Comment

    It’s very easy for parental or self-help blogs and books to imply the world will be fixed if only you follow a set routine and process. But of course, life is often very messy. This is something we learn as we get older if our parents appropriately shielded us from some of the chaos of life, but sometimes, children learn it early. It’s not always an easy lesson to cope with.   Pexels – CC0 License     Understanding when to tell your children about the tougher aspects of life can be a hard decision to make.

    Are We Raising A More Fragile Generation Accidentally?

    01/19 /No Comments

    My generation (X and older Y’s) was the last that learned to play in the street. We were the first to play video games, the last to record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape. We had the first VCR, cordless phone, microwave, CD’s, Atari, TV remote control, MTV when it actually played music videos, and so much more. This generation will experience newer models of the items our generation had first. We didn’t have cars with airbags, rode bikes without a helmet and knee pads, and were allowed to be kids and get hurt. We were allowed to play in the mud and not regulated sand that is…
