Just a friendly reminder that kids can understand books 2-3 grade levels above what they can read themselves. Upgrade β€œsummer reading” to FAMILY read-alouds of EPIC classics - you won’t regret it❀️

What makes a good mother? You can make a million item list: cooks, cleans, plans, educates...... Or you can say "She's the heart of the home" The first makes you feel overwhelmed & never enough. The latter brings you back to what really mattersβ™₯️

How do you balance family time with activities? My 11 yo is invited to join the dance team (yay), but it means 4 nights/wk of intense dance - less time with family - most specifically Dad. What would you do and why?

Kids at video-editing camp this week. Fairly unhappy with the instruction, but my kids have been incredible 1. Camp played movies during snack & lunch so my kids started bringing knitting & board games to play with the other kids 2. Camp computers kept freezing so my kids

I'm researching the best way to teach spelling & you'll be shocked to hear that TEACHING spelling improves spelling!! Reading a lot does not mean your kid will be a good speller - you do actually need to teach them.

If your child is using a computer, typing should be explicitly taught - it will not be learned properly organically - That's why I typed faster than my college students despite them having computers since birth.

Went to the library today. It's summer so it was FILLED with kids. Guess how many of them I saw reading a book - ZERO. All of them were playing video games on the computers or their own phones. What's to become of all these kids?
