How Everyday Moments Build Capable Kids
Nobody really tells us one of the best things you can do for your kids has nothing to do with grades, sports, or screen time limits. Those are all good of course, but it's simpler than that. It's making sure they have the knowledge to handle things on their own when situations don't always go as planned. Not disasters or worst-case scenarios. Just regular Tuesday stuff.
