An Open Letter To Moms :: When Your Child Struggles In School To the mom of children who struggle in school :: I see you. From experience, today was probably another hard day. Maybe you got a dreaded phone call from school, where the administration suggested another meeting. Perhaps it is a note about your child’s behavior written out professionally, but you can feel the frustration behind it. Maybe it is the judgment you felt from another parent when you mention your child’s name. Maybe the graded test papers were sent home with red all over. Perhaps it was the lack of positive reinforcement at school, the lack of a positive note of accomplishment in your child’s book sack. No matter the reason, today...

My oldest loves words of affirmation. He loves to know you’re proud of him. That makes him feel special and important. He doesn’t discuss his feelings a lot but praise makes him...

It’s an awesome way to enjoy exercise as well. All children are different, some will get immense joy from winning, some will only get excited about snacks, but your kids should get something out of it. If not, maybe it’s not the sport for them. Gender roles have changed so much. Maybe your little girl enjoys playing football and your son is amazing at gymnastics. Go where their joy is. My favorite sports for littles: Soccer is amazing!
