johnsonjonathan+FollowWhen words from adults hit kids hardNothing prepares you for the moment your child comes home hurt by a comment from another parent. My kid, Alex, was crushed after a casual remark about their new shoes—something that seemed harmless but stung deeply. It’s a wake-up call about how much our words matter, even when we don’t mean harm. Kids pick up on everything, and what we say can stick with them. I’ve started paying more attention to how I talk around children and encouraging Alex to share their feelings. How do you handle these situations? Have you ever had to talk to another parent about something they said? #Relationships #Parenting #CommunitySupport30Share
Johnathan Neal+FollowScreen Time Rules Are Outdated?Turns out, just limiting kids’ screen time isn’t cutting it anymore. The American Academy of Pediatrics says we need bigger changes—like holding tech companies accountable for what kids see online. It’s not just on parents to monitor every click (which is basically impossible). The real move? Open convos with your kids about what they’re doing online, and push for safer digital spaces. Watching TikToks together counts as bonding now! #Health #MentalHealth #Parenting10Share

Julie Alexander+Follow1 in 4 Kids Start School in Nappies?!Teachers say a shocking 1 in 4 kids starting reception aren’t toilet trained, and more than a third aren’t ‘school ready’—think not eating, dressing, or even using books right (some try to swipe them like iPads!). Staff are losing hours every day helping with basic skills instead of teaching. Experts blame screen time, lack of info for parents, and stretched resources. The government wants 75% of kids ‘school ready’ by 2028, but we’re not there yet! #Education #parenting #schools11Share
Judith Dickson+FollowMJ’s Parenting Playbook: No Pressure ZoneTurns out, Michael Jordan wasn’t the pushy sports dad you’d expect. Instead of demanding his son become the next MJ, he and his wife worked overtime convincing him it’s okay to just enjoy life.

Michelle Arnold+FollowYou Won’t Believe These School RulesSchool rules are getting wild—parents are now being told how to take back-to-school photos (no school logos, no real-time posts!), what snacks to pack, and even how to manage bedtime. Some schools want phones locked away all day, while others hand out behavior contracts for kindergarteners. It’s like schools are micromanaging home life, and parents are seriously over it. Where’s the line between safety and just too much control? #Education #Parenting #SchoolRules00Share
