Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!
There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.
Discussion Prompt: Visiting. When we go other places – grandparents, cousins, friends, neighbors – they may have other rules and expectations that are different from at home. Maybe you can’t run in the house. Maybe you don’t have to take your shoes off. Maybe you have to wait to be served. These different expectations can be confusing for kids (and adults). How do you help your kids navigate them?
