@PhilRosenthal She may or may not have been teasing your sheep shearing efforts. I'll never tell.

@PhilRosenthal Traveling up the Maine coast and beyond thrilled to meet your famous cousin, Anna, and to support @Spindleworks. Anna was a fab tour guide. New art for my school office! Yessss! (photo with permission)

Instead of panicking when your child says, "I hate myself", remember that we expect that kids will feel this way at times; respond with guidance and care.

First grade was happy to pause our reading of the book I Like Myself in order to cheer on our FW Special Olympics athletes as they returned from the games in Wilmington! Great job, everyone!! Way to represent!

Need help explaining the Ukraine/Russia conflict to kids...or adults? Check out this resource. https://t.co/wJlDozWe99

I see this in my 13 y.o. She wants her time alone, but also still wants to be the kid who wants to be with her family all the time. The conflict is real. My 11 year old isn't there yet, but the clock is ticking. Will I be ready? Will you be ready when it's your kid's turn?
