Apparently, I Went Back to School Too.

Why Does Back-to-School Feel Like a Second Full-Time Job? My Kid Started School, and Apparently I Did Too Somewhere along the way, back-to-school stopped being just about new sneakers, a backpack, and showing up on the first day. Now it comes with emails, school apps, calendars, forms, lunch accounts, classroom updates, aftercare messages, sports schedules, and group chats that somehow become active the second you put your phone down. And somewhere, buried inside one of those apps, is probably a message saying my kid needs to bring in 14 empty toilet paper rolls tomorrow. I will discover this at 8:47 tonight. Welcome back to school. When Did School Become a Full-Time Administrative Job? As a kid, I remember the whole thing feeling pretty simple. You got your school supplies, maybe some new clothes, and then you went. I'm sure our parents were doing plenty behind the scenes, but I don't remember them logging into six different systems before breakfas...

The Elevator Stare-Down: Why I Stopped Forcing My Shy Kid to Say Hello

Image
Should You Force Your Shy Child to Say Hello to Adults? Picture this: You're in an elevator with your 4-year-old when a friendly adult says, "Hi there!" Instead of responding, your child just... stares. And stares. The silence stretches on while you're thinking, "Why the intense stare-down instead of just saying hi?" The adult shifts uncomfortably, you feel that familiar heat of embarrassment creeping up your neck, and you find yourself saying, "Say hello, sweetie!" Sound familiar? Yeah, me too. Quick Answer: Research shows you shouldn't force shy children to greet adults. Pushing interactions before they're ready can increase shyness and self-consciousness. Instead, offer options like waving or smiling, and respect their natural temperament. This literally happened to me last week, and I spent the rest of that awkward elevator ride wondering: Am I raising a rude kid? Should I be pushing harder? What's with the staring? If ...

Summer Check-In and Thoughts on Traveling Internationally with Kids

Summer Vibes Hello Hello BUBS Family, How’s everyone’s summer going so far? It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through—time really does fly, doesn't it? Before we know it, it’ll be "Back to School, Back to School" (for those of you who know, I'm quoting Adam Sandler in Billy Madison)! I’ve got wanderlust on the mind, and I'm betting some of you do, too. Especially when it comes to bringing the kiddos for some international adventures. So, how do you survive those long-haul flights? Got any magic tricks for keeping the peace in the skies? I'd love to hear your hacks!    Turn Your Trip Into a Game Travel can be a awesome adventure, especially through the eyes of your children. I came across this great article by Alison Fox  She talks about how to make the trip for your kids more exciting, why not turn it into a game?  Ask children to point out things that are new to them. You can do a treasure hunt for them. Finding Your Zen on the Go: Parents' Time...
