How Much Screen Time Is Too Much (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is there really a correct number of hours for screen time? Curtis and RJ break down why ‘how much is too much’ is the wrong question — and share the questions that actually predict how screen time affects a kid: what it's displacing, what kind of content fills it, and how a kid transitions out of it.

Read excerpt

How Do We Eat Dinner Together More Often (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"We’re too busy" is real — and also not the actual obstacle. Curtis and RJ break down how to get your family back to the table more nights than not: lowering the bar on what counts as family dinner, the schedule tricks that actually buy back time, and why the conversation matters more than the meal itself. RJ shares the one-sentence comment from his daughter that saved family dinner during their busiest sports years. #FamilyDinner #ParentingTips #FamilyTime #ParentSupportCircle #BusyFamilyLife #
How Do I Help a Child With Anxiety? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is it normal worry, or something more? Curtis and RJ break down how to tell the difference, why constant reassurance can actually backfire, and the gentle, practical tools that help a child move through anxiety instead of around it. RJ shares the hard lesson he learned about anxious kids: your job isn’t to fix it for them.
