This holiday season, take some time to think about whether your family traditions are really bringing you closer to one another and adjust as needed. 

I decided to leave the Santa question alone until my son asked me directly, and then I would tell him the truth.

An open home, on the other hand, is a place where people can come at any time, even when it's not perfectly tidy (which our place never is), and feel at home.

Sometimes we need to enlist the help of a coach or teacher to step in to help encourage our children to try something new.

As parents, our job is not just to tell our kids glibly that practise will make them perfect.

Dress-up play is a year-round pursuit that stimulates the imagination and stirs the creative juices.

Observe the good stuff kids do and keep those moments in time.

No more nap time but quiet time persists.
