We went to this trail near Boulder that everyone said would be too hard for her age but I packed snacks, brought extra water, and didn't push it. Took it slow, let her stop wheneve
Why do they always ask during the ONE time I can't check my email? Now there's only "snack helper for field trip" left and everyone has already claimed the good stuff. My kid is go
It happened. I don't know how. I just offered him a choice between his dinosaur blanket or his bear blanket and he picked the bear, walked himself to his room, and went to sleep. M
So I'm considering volunteering to coach my 9yo's baseball team. Never played competitively myself but I know the basics and love the game. Is this actually a good idea or am I set
This might sound dumb but I'm genuinely excited. My son has been glued to screens for like a year and my wife and I were getting worried. Last month I bought him a beginner's rock

Got two kids, ages 7 and 11. Wife wants to limit it to 1 hour per day total but ngl that seems insane on weekends when we're trying to get stuff done around the house. What's actua

Here's what worked: I stopped calling them vegetables and started calling them "power-ups." My 5yo now asks for carrot power-ups and broccoli power-ups. My 7yo rolled his eyes at f
8yo Jake has been resistant to sports his whole life. Too much pressure, too competitive, not fun. We've tried soccer, basketball, nothing stuck. Randomly took him to a minor leagu
Why does he think the toilet is a target? How is pee getting on the WALL? We bought a step stool, a seat reducer, books about it, underwear with his favorite characters. Still come
I taught him the rules like 2 months ago and we've been playing casually. Today he straight up checkmated me in like 18 moves. I might have thrown that game a little but not intent
Remember when I posted like a month ago worried about him adjusting after we moved? Today he came home absolutely buzzing about a kid named Marcus who likes the same video games. T
My 13yo came to me about a friendship drama situation instead of just shutting himself in his room. Didn't even roll his eyes when I talked. We actually had a conversation that las
