As a parent, it can feel like you need to have every answer—but no one has it all figured out. That’s why we’re here. These real-life experiences come from parents doing their best. Learn how they handle technology, finances, travel, friendship and everything in between.
Life is full of big questions, especially for children. For instance, saying goodbye at any age is difficult, but saying goodbye when you are a four-year-old is difficult in other ways. Recently, I had to explain what death means to my son, Cohen.
When I was pregnant with Cohen, I was your typical first time mom. I wanted to buy everything new — from toys to clothes to all of baby’s firsts. I never realized how expensive baby items were until we started shopping.
When I had my first baby, many of my friends were also having their first children. We were all new parents together watching our kids roll over for the first time, take first steps and say first words.
When I was young, I was taught to be careful with what I said because my words could come back to haunt me. Today, we have to teach our kids to be mindful of what they type because that can affect their whole future.
“Tink you, Gramma!” says my two-year-old grandson, Benson. Hearing that just warms my heart! It’s so gratifying to know that my children are teaching their children not only good manners, but to be thankful.
Hello! Let me start out by saying I have a news background, and I am used to sticking to the who, what, where, when and whys of a story. I don’t ever go into details, and rarely do I share my feelings on paper, so this blog is a new experience…but here it goes…
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 6 years old. It’s an auto-immune condition that requires me to do some of the (very critical) work my pancreas once did: balancing food, exercise, stress, sleep, and dozens of other factors with just the right doses of insulin.
TBH your haircut is totes swag. If you have no idea what that sentence means, don’t beat yourself up — it is just everyday teenage lingo. Every generation has its own quirky language.
One moment we’re in the NICU, and in the next moment, Izabella is two-years-old. Now, I’m finding that all the statements fellow parents told me about motherhood going by in the blink of an eye are absolutely true!
I have seen articles and lists created by parenting and family experts of specific things parents should say to their children. Things like, “I’m sorry” and “I believe in you” or “I’m proud of you.” I agree wholeheartedly.
Without fail, my son Abram will come home from school and the first question I ask is, “How was your day?” He responds, “Good.”
Times are a-changin’! It is to be expected. Our kids are growing up in a different world than we did. Sometimes that is a good thing … sometimes I’m not so sure. Check out this list and see what you think!
If I were able to choose success or failure for my kids, I would obviously choose success. But, a few weeks ago I had to choose failure. And it was so hard.
Whoever invented texting should be arrested. Maybe that is a bit extreme, but I can guarantee that he or she didn’t have teenagers.
