AI can be a trap, especially for kids who are still learning how to navigate relationships and emotions. We can’t shield our kids from technology, but we can help them make sense of it. 🎧 The HeyKiddo Parenting Podcast w/ @drnicolelipkin Stephanie Humphrey

Parenting is wild.

The goal isn’t a perfect day. The goal is a strong relationship.

Want to connect with your kid after school? Try these prompts to get them talking (and giggling): 😂 “What’s the funniest video you’ve seen lately?” 📱 “Did anything make you laugh out loud recently?” 🤣 “Was there one you had to rewatch because it was so good?”

When your kid is overwhelmed or shutting down, try this powerful reset technique 🧠✨ Wall push-ups ➡️ Shake it out ➡️ Reconnect. It’s a way to literally open up their frontal lobe so they can think clearly and talk honestly. 🧱💥🧠 #NeurodivergentSupport

When you’re balancing work, co-parenting, or household responsibilities, a well-planned approach helps you stay on top of everything. There’s no “perfect” schedule, just one that works best for you and your family. bit.ly/3ZZxuU6

When does screen use cross the line into overuse? Here’s what you need to know to tell the difference between normal screen time and too much of it. Plus, how you can create healthy habits that support your child’s well-being. hey-kiddo.com/blogs/resource…

It’s a simple question, but the answers can reveal so much. Whether it’s dreams, restlessness, or just needing a few more minutes, checking in helps kids feel seen. 💬 How do you help your child wind down and rest well?

Middle school friendship dynamics can feel like survival of the fittest. Why do some girls cling to “queen bees?” What does true confidence look like? How can adults help w/out pushing their kids away. Spoiler alert: Lecturing? Not the move.

To the parents who hold it together when they feel like falling apart. To the ones googling “is this normal?” at 2am. To the ones pouring love into their kids while running on empty… We see you. 💛 Happy National Parents Day. 💛 #NationalParentsDay

“People will respect the boundary, if you actually communicate it.” 🙌 #WorkLifeBalance

The earlier we help kids understand the value of money, the better equipped they’ll be to make smart decisions about their finances down the road. Some of the best lessons can happen right at home, during everyday moments. hey-kiddo.com/blogs/resource…

The goal isn’t a perfect day. The goal is a child who feels safe enough to grow.

Take a breath. Let them lead.

When ur kid resists leaving the park or turning off the tablet, it’s not about being difficult. They were in their own little world & transitions are hard. A 5-min heads-up or “What do you want to do right after this?” gives them some control & makes things smoother for everyone.

Ask your child today: “What’s one thing you love doing with your family?” ❤️

You’re not failing. You’re learning. That’s what growth looks like.
