The New Mamas Podcast
Apparently We're Not Supposed To Tell Our Kids We're Proud Of Them Anymore
In this episode, I am fired up! Here's what I'm sounding off on in this episode:
- Being a "pro-screen time, anti-tablet" parent
- Being a millennial and growing up in AOL chatrooms
- "Raw-dogging" summer break
- Questioning whether to go to kindergarten or skipping straight to 1st grade
- Homeschool vs public school, hot take home school kids have a lot of opportunities for socialization
- Celebrating my son's 5th birthday!
- Struggling having a small house with no storage
- Sounding off on "therapy speak"
- Sounding off on the whole "not telling our kids we're proud of them"
- Fostering a summer of independence for my 5-year-old
What do you think? Leave me a comment or send me a DM on my Instagram if you have any strong feelings about my hot takes.
