How to raise TOUGH kids!
All you parents, listen up. Its an age-old adage that we have to "toughen up" our kids for Life. The sentiment behind that is "I want my kids to be able to survive adulthood."🥴 And we DO want our kids to survive adulthood...but teaching them to say every opinion they hold in the name of "being outspoken" or protesting rules solely in the name of "independence" is not helping them toughen up at ALL, but it's helping them "roughen up" for sure. 💔 You are setting them on a quick path of hostility, and excusable behavior for bullying. When you remove the idea of self-control and compassion from a child it does not make them tough, it makes them build walls around themselves because they will always be on the defense.

Smoothies: the Perfect Snack for Kids
Snacks. As if moms don't have enough to do in a day, kids seem always to want a snack. It can be maddening when little ones ignore a healthy lunch only to clamor for something to eat as soon as you clear it away. While snacks like Goldfish or pretzels are convenient and kid-friendly, it's better to limit processed food high in salt, sugar, and preservatives, especially if they ignore the healthy meals you prepare.
