LimeLightLegend+FollowWhat a Fake Baby Taught My Teen About ParenthoodWhen my daughter brought home the fake baby for her school project, I thought it would be a fun, lighthearted assignment. Instead, it turned into a powerful lesson for both of us. The sleepless nights, the constant attention, and the responsibility made her realize just how much work goes into caring for a real child. Watching her struggle and then adapt, I was reminded of my own early days as a parent—exhausted but determined. It sparked meaningful conversations about choices, patience, and empathy.

dcook+FollowWhy RSVPing Matters: Teaching Kids About Commitment and ConsiderationAs a parent, I know how much excitement and effort goes into planning a child’s birthday party. From picking out decorations to preparing goodie bags, every detail is chosen with care. That’s why it stings when guests who RSVP’d “yes” don’t show up. It’s not just about the empty seats or extra cake—it’s about teaching our kids the value of commitment and respect for others’ time. When we say we’ll be there, we’re showing our children how to honor our word and consider the feelings of others. Let’s help our kids grow into thoughtful, reliable friends by modeling this simple act of courtesy. Have you ever experienced this at your child’s party?
