That’s not the kind of mother I want to be β€” A Mother's Day letter A Mother's Day letter
Last week I tucked my 8-year-old into bed, kissed her forehead, told her I loved her and I loved her beautiful face, and then said with warmth and sincerity (and a little guilt) β€œbut I don't want to see it again until tomorrow. Stay in your room, please.” She looked up at me and said, without m...

What Do You Do When Nothing Works?
"What do you do when nothing works?" A mom sent me this question and then gave me the details. Her son was jumping on the bed and her husband told him he'd lose his privilege of being in their room to play. Soon after, the boy proceeded to jump on the couch so they took away another privilege. ...

The Most Powerful Thing You Can Say After You Yell (It's Not 'I'm Sorry')
It's 8pm. Kids are in bed. You're standing in the kitchen and you know you need to go back in. Maybe you're dreading it because last time you apologized, your kid ended up patting your back saying "it's okay mommy" and you left the room feeling worse than when you walked in. Maybe you're dreadi...

You Keep Yelling Because It Works. Here's What Nobody Tells You About That.
Girl, I get it. I really do. You're burned out. You're touched out. You're running on empty most days before the kids even wake up. You're tired of the "mommy mommy mommy" and the "mine mine mine" and the crying and the defiance and the negotiating over things that should not require negotiatio...

Your Kid Is Going to Say Something Awful This Week. Here's Exactly What to Do
I'm tired of parenting content that subtly gaslights parents with messages like "Your child isn't trying to reject you or hurt your feelings." Yes they are. Whenever your child blurts out things like "I don't want to play with you anymore" or "I'm not your friend" or "You're a mean mommy", they...

She Looked Me in the Eyes and Kept Going
She saw you. You know she did, because for one brief second your eyes locked, and then she turned around and ran straight back to her friends like you weren't even there. 🫠😭🀬 You said her name and then you said it again, with that edge creeping into your voice that you hate hearing come out of y...

The Child You're Not Worried About (Maybe You Should Be)
I'm writing this from my parent-in-law’s home. We've been traveling for a few days now and it has been a lot. Flights getting canceled, sleep all off, extended family dynamics doing what extended family dynamics do, and me just trying to parent through all of it in the middle of the chaos. Then...

The Real Reason Your Child Won't Talk to You
A mom in our community recently wrote in with something that took courage to share. She's a homeschooling mom so she’s home with her two young daughters all day, every day, rotating between being their parent and their teacher and their referee. She wrote in after reading my newsletter about th...

"What Am I Supposed To Do???" The question every overwhelmed parent asks
I was on a nature walk last week when I heard a little boy's voice, loud and clear, "Why you gotta be so mean??" That caught my attention. Just a second ago he was running, holding a stick and shouting with glee. I glanced quickly at the family as I walked by. The little boy was maybe 4 or 5, f...

When Your Child Asks β€œAre We All Going to Die?” (And 9 Other Questions You Need Scripts For)
Two years ago this week, I lost my mother to cancer. She was just shy of 63. When I had to tell my daughters their grandma died, I was so grateful we'd already talked about death. They had a foundation. They understood what "died" meant. They knew bodies stop working. They knew it was OK to be ...
