Our Pandemic Babies Are Starting Kindergarten: Two Moms on Letting Go

Two BUBS moms on sending their pandemic babies to kindergarten...  The letting go, and the hard first weeks From the BUBS community... These two stories were shared with us by moms in the BUBS community and published here with their permission. Their kids were born into the same strange year and are starting kindergarten now, one mom reflecting on the ache of letting go, the other on the tender, worrying first weeks when the friends haven't come yet. If you're somewhere in between, maybe their words will feel like yours too. Have a story you'd like to share? We'd love to hear it. I bought a backpack this week. A real one. Not the tiny toddler kind that holds a snack and a stuffed animal, but a big-kid backpack with a name tag pocket and straps I had to adjust down as far as they'd go. It's hanging by the door right now, waiting for the first day of kindergarten. And every time I walk past it, my chest does this funny thing...  part pride, part something I don...

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.

Summer Check-In and Thoughts on Traveling Internationally with Kids

Image
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...
