parenting

We actually have the power to learn how to deal with anxiety and change the madness that is threatening to end childhood for our children.

Others have told me I shouldn’t passively offer classes, but rather insist Ryan pick one. But I just can’t. That’s not how our family operates.

I mess up and do things very differently than I want to sometimes. When that happens, I have one rule for myself: I stop and apologize to my kid.

I never want my child to doubt herself the way I do myself. I never want her to feel the anxieties that weigh me down, though I know she already senses it.

Almost every one of the people who told me they regret having kids (either now or at some point) said that they felt terrible for feeling that way.

Wonderful son of mine, I am going to let you in on a little secret. Your mother is a liar. In fact, people lie all of the time.

Be careful what you wish for because at eight years old my son is exactly like his father in this aspect. I'm now raising an outgoing kid and I'm reserved.

This is not an exhaustive list, of the most ridiculous things my kids are freaking out about, but I am an exhausted mother.
