Parents are constantly asking themselves: Did I handle that right? Am I doing enough?
I have always believed in listening to children. Not in letting them run the show, but in trying to understand what they are really saying underneath the words
Anyone who spends their days caring for children knows that the line between a picture perfect afternoon and utter chaos is incredibly thin.
Last October, I was surfing in Australia when I got a call from an Australian number.
Recently, a dear friend of mine lost his mom. In the wake of her passing, he shared a memory with me from his childhood growing up in Topanga Canyon.
If you know me, you know I love surfing. It is my ultimate counterbalance to our snowy mountain life, and on a recent trip to Hawaii, I spent every possible moment in the water.
The ball pit was a trap, and I walked right into it.
Mealtime does not have to be a battlefield.
