Hi Reader, Have you ever worried about what your child does at a playdate? Opens up the fridge to grab a snack? Makes a big mess in the bathroom? Walks through the house with muddy shoes?? Aaack!! This is exactly why I wanted to make a resource to help parents intentionally teach their children about having good manners on a playdate. My favorite part is this maze activity where kids get to practice manners in each room of the house! Download Today You can't be upset with your child for...

Hi Reader, Does it ever feel like your kids see each other as competition instead of family? Let's be honest—most sibling rivalry isn't really about the toy or the remote. It's about two kids who haven't learned yet how to be on the same team. And when that's missing, every single day can feel like a refereeing job 🤪 That's exactly why I created this month's Teach Me How lesson: "We're a Team! Learning How to Work Together at Home." It's a simple $6 printable download I made to help your kids...

Hi Reader, Have you ever noticed how one negative comment can completely shift the mood in your home? Because let’s be honest—when our kids (or WE) get stuck in a negative spiral, everything feels harder. The arguing, the complaining, the “I can’t do it” moments? They really grate on your nerves! But here’s the good news: a positive attitude is a SKILL. And like any skill, it can be taught! That’s why I created this month’s lesson, “Choose the Sunny Side: Learning How to Have a Positive...

Hi Reader, My inbox has been blowing up this week with messages about the "no-sleepovers rule." I know this is a hot topic! Dozens of parents also asked how to teach their child about body safety, regardless of the situation they are in. These conversations are SO important to have when children are young, so they can be prepared to set boundaries, speak up, and say “NO!” when something doesn’t feel right. Last fall, I teamed up with a therapist to create a kid-friendly printable lesson...

Hi Reader, Have you ever had a child who can't seem to behave well because they're just. so. tired?? Sleep affects EVERYTHING for kids—their mood, behavior, learning, growth, and emotional well-being (and let's be honest, mine too!) But healthy sleep habits don’t just happen on their own! Kids thrive when they get to make choices about what their bedtime looks like. I collaborated with sleep expert Chrissy Lawler (@the.peaceful.sleeper) for this month's Teach Me How issue called, "Let's...

Hi Reader, There were times when my girls were younger and I wanted to shout: "Does anyone hear a WORD that I'm saying?!" If we're being honest—repeating yourself over and over, raising your voice, or feeling ignored is just plain exhausting 😰 What we really want is for our kids to listen and respond with respect and cooperation. That’s exactly why I created my lesson, “Be a Good Listener: Learning to Listen, Even When It’s Hard.” Here’s the good news: listening is a skill—and it can be...
