Childhood Evolved

Lets talk about some of the more challenging stuff- sexuality, death, religion, and racism. How do we handle this stuff with our children?

Hey there! Yes I know I missed days 5 & 6. With all going on in the world, I am shifting towards posting an update a couple of times per week rather than every day. You know, this thing is looking like it is going to last a lot longer than any us hoped. Tonight I talk a bit about the psychological impact of that on our well being. Just acknowledging the trauma, and sheer scale of it, can help.
