Improv Parenting
“Life is a stage and we are all players in it.”
-William Shakespeare
Parenting really is similar to theater, if you think about it. In the space of two hours, you can experience comedy, drama, tragedy, and maybe even a nude scene or two (depending on the age of your child). There is however, one critical difference:
Taking No for an Answer
We all want our kids to take “no” for an answer from us, but how many of us are willing to take “no” for an answer from our kids? I was forced to painfully confront this very issue earlier this past summer. And, as usual with parenting struggles, I learned something valuable about myself in the process.
Back to School Cool
It’s barely August, but it’s here. Back to school. How do I know? Stores are promoting, kids are protesting, and parents are rejoicing. It’s impossible to miss. But even though we all know it’s coming, few of us take the best steps to emotionally prepare the whole family for the transitions headed our way. Want to know how to stay ScreamFree through this tough transition?
