Turn Down the Alarm Parenting: Seeing Your Kids Through a New Lens
Palmer here!! My neighbors are all much older than I am, and when we moved in they added us to their group chat where they plan all kinds of get-togethers. Most of their kids are older than my wife and me, but many of these neighbors have become our friends. This past Wednesday, I was out in […]

The Success Trap Every Parent Should Avoid

What If Change Isn’t Something to Fear?
View in browser Dear Friend,I make myself laugh. Two weeks ago, for my Sunday email, I told myself, “In two weeks, you can really sit down and give a lot of thought to your email because by then, life will be mostly back to normal.” Ha Ha Ha. What a joke. Here we are, two weeks later, and I am […]
