Conversations in Our Home

Teaching kids about setting boundaries is more than just teaching them about personal space. Give them these 4 tools & they’ll be ready when they need them.

Teaching your child to set boundaries with friends

A lot of people think children are colorblind so they don't discuss racism with their kids. If you don't know how to begin this important conversation, here are 8 different ways to start.

Talking to your child about racism

Our children imitate what we do much more than they'll ever act on what we say. Putting your own emotions into a different perspective can help your child learn to process their own.

Putting a bad day into perspective for your child

Sexual abuse in children occurs more often than we'd like to think. Talking to your kids about the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching is crucial. How do you talk to your children about appropriate and inappropriate touching? You start here...

Talking to Children about Appropriate vs Inappropriate Touching

Every day kids are faced with the opportunity to be the boss of their own bodies. This is one example of how we let our child set that boundary while getting shots.

“I don’t want to get shots.”

Why do our kids ask us to help with the simplest tasks? Listening to our kids is not just listening to the words they say. It's also listening to their actions. Every misbehavior is a form of communication. What is your child saying to you?

Psst… It’s not about the socks
