When you love your kids but dread school time...

Hi Reader! While I love the excitement of a new school year - the new curriculum, the new routine, the new supplies - there were years when starting a new school year used to fill me with dread. Not because I didn't love my kids. But because "school time" felt like we were on opposite teams. The resistance. The eye rolls. The "Do I have to?" The meltdowns over math. I kept thinking: How can I be their favorite teacher when I feel like their least favorite person during lessons? Then I realized something. My relationship with my child matters more than any curriculum. Most of us focus on what we're teaching. But kids learn best from people they trust and enjoy being around. So I tried something different. I started each school day with 5 minutes of connection before any lessons. Sometimes we'd chat about their dreams from the night before. Other days we'd have a dance party to a music video on YouTube. Or I'd simply ask: "How's your heart today?" This tiny ritual transformed our school time. When kids feel seen and connected, learning becomes easier. For both of you. Try this week: Pick one small way to connect before you start lessons. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just intentional. The math can wait 5 minutes. But that connection? It sets the tone for everything. You've got this, Your friend,

Hi Reader! You know that moment when your child hits a wall and completely shuts down? Maybe it's during math. Maybe it's when they make a mistake. Maybe it's when something doesn't go their way. And no matter what you say or do, they stay stuck in that place of "I can't" or "I'm not good enough." I've been there. Both of my kids have struggled with this in different ways. And I used to think I just needed to push them through it or give them a pep talk. But here's what I learned: resilience...
