Your Kid Just Asked Where Babies Come From... Don’t Panic!! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are certain parenting moments you know are coming your way - potty training, tantrums after a looong day out. But then… there’s this one: “But HOW does the baby get in there?”My son hit me with this one Sunday. It just happened to be the day after I went out to a music show for the first time in years and stayed out till 1am. *Perfect timing for this question*. And, just like most of us, my first reaction was Ooook. Huh. We’re doing this right now?!?Fortunately, i have one thing working in
When Breaking Generational Cycles With Your Kids Starts to Reshape — and Strain — Your Relationship With Your Own Parents (opens the original)

Not the happy kind, but the kind that makes you quietly cry because something you’ve spent your entire life believing about yourself suddenly isn’t true anymore. For thirty-five years, I thought I was the problem - I thought I was too sensitive, too rigid, too emotional, too particul
When Sibling Fighting Becomes Sibling Abuse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A child who is hurting their sibling isn’t a “bad kid.” But the behavior still has to stop. Here’s how we protect one child while helping both.Last week, we talked about the line between normal sibling conflict and sibling abuse.Most siblings fight. They compete, yell, grab, wrestle, provoke, tattle, and occasionally completely lose it over who got to flush the toilet. That’s childhood. It’s just part of living with another human being who
