You can do everything "right" and your kids will still have tantrums, night wakings and bouts of picky eating. They don't do those things because you've done something wrong. They don't do those things because there's anything wrong with them. They do it because they are human.

You can have the playroom that dreams are made of and still have kids who don’t play. It’s not about the toys. It’s about expectations. Reserve the mental space to withstand boredom. Trust. Play will benefit you and your child in ways you’ve never imagined. All children can play.

It’s hard for children to abruptly stop playing and clean up. Imagine cooking a delicious meal, smelling the aromas, planning next steps, reveling in the process. BAM! Someone slams the pot closed, freaks out about the mess, and demands you abandon cooking and clean up right now.

You can be a respectful parent and say no to your child. No is not a bad word.

Parenting is messy, loud, high, low, and in between. Every family has good days bad days.Your flaws and screwups are an integral part of who you are. You can't have the good without the bad. The hard parts and the wonderful parts are what makes your family who they are.

Resilience is a predictor of future happiness. Stop making things perfect for your children. It’s ok for some things to be hard, frustrating or a bit scary.Give your child the opportunity to practice being uncomfortable.

Independent play doesn’t have to mean playing quietly with wooden blocks. True play takes on many different forms. Independent play can be drawing, bouncing a ball, singing, pretending, etc. Independent play means your child is engaged in an activity on their own terms.

When you see children who are deep in play, it’s because they have mastered the confidence of play. Play confidence comes from repeated experiences with the same open ended, basic materials. Play is meant to be simple. Don’t overcomplicate it.

Play areas should be as unique as your child. There is no correct way to set up a playroom. Kids don’t need a fancy playroom full of wooden toys in order to play productively. They do need an adult who understands the value of play, and sets aside time and space for it to happen.

If you want to raise teens who can advocate for themselves, stop socially conditioning your preschoolers to be polite.
