What I Wish I Said When My Kid Asked "What's Wrong With Her Face" In Public
 
We've all had those moments where your kid asks something absolutely mortifying in public — at the absolute top of their lungs, of course. Alexandra Frost's kid demanded to know what was "wrong" with a stranger's face, and she immediately shushed him. But it got her thinking: "It made me curious about experts' ideas on 'best practices' for dealing with these types of comments, and walking the line of being polite, not commenting on others' bodies and actions and more, but also learning from the environment around them." 

Give it a read for some helpful tips about what to do the next time your kid chooses the worst possible time as a teachable moment. Good luck out there,

How to practice self compassion and give yourself a break as a parent
 
It's easy to tell your kids to "be nice" when they're fighting with a sibling, but it's much harder for parents to take their own advice and be nice to themselves. Raising kids is chaotic in the best of times, which makes it easy to feel like you're always doing something wrong. Of course you think you're doing a sh*tty job sometimes. Every parent does.

But there is a way to feel like less of a sh*tty parent. Practicing self-compassion, connection, curiosity, and kindness is key, and Dr. Carla Naumburg, author of You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent and How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids, can show you how.

You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent is the ultimate guide for parents who need to give themselves a break. It's full of tangible steps you can take to reduce your anxiety, trust your instincts, move past mom guilt, and become a calmer, more confident parent.

Continuing on the theme of kids and their absolutely terrible timing, Samm Davidson has a story about the time she had to send her kid to school with what looked like a giant hickey goatee on his face: "On his face, above his mouth and all down his chin — like a goatee — was a perfectly circular, purple-ish red bruise. And I mean, perfectly circular. As if he went to the local wellness clinic for a cupping session. I was dumbfounded. How the….?!" There's absolutely no way you'll guess how he did it.
