✨Are you worried that your messy, imperfect life will get in the way of homeschooling?. Today’s guest tells us it’s not perfect conditions, but teaching strength of character and responsibility, that shapes strong, capable adults. Let’s dive into the extraordinary story of Von,

My child is a perfectionist & is really hard on herself when she's wrong. She has a stuffed squirrel that she treats like her baby. I asked her talk to squirrel as if she made the mistake. The kindness that showed up was beautiful. Then I said, say that to yourself♥️.

Reading comprehension is better when kids read PRINT compared to a screen. Do we think that math is the same way? Does it matter if you are practicing math with dopamine driven games vs. doing it steadily by hand?.

You need to make time for game night with your kids. Buy some games that are JUST FOR FUN - ones that make you laugh! It'll not just brighten your day, but make everything about family life easier all week. Promise♥️.

My little one has literal growing pains - mostly lower legs calves & ankles. Didn't know this was really a thing - but it is for her. Does anyone have anything that's actually worked to help relieve the pain? Thank you in advance♥️.

My kids have been to 2 camps this summer. Camp 1 played movies during the breaks & Camp 2 expects me to pack snacks for every break. Do kids not just hang out & play anymore? We used to run around outside.

There is no one that wants a relationship with you more than your child. They want to talk, learn, swim, cook, clean, travel, read & more with you. They don't care what you are wearing or if the place is instagram-worthy. They just want YOU. Don't waste it♥️.

Was at a dinner party with a 37 yo woman (no kids) & her parents. I'm far closer in age to her, but I related more to her parents. I especially loved the twinkle in their eye as she spoke about her work & I imagined what that would feel like when my children are older. There's.

If you've never lived in the desert, you can't possibly imagine the joy of the first summer monsoon. Got my kids out of bed to come play in the rain with me. Whatever special natural event happens where you live (snow, spring flowers, butterflies) - revel in it with your kids♥️.
