Comfort, Stories, and My Silly Mistakes
A short Sunday round-up
I woke up to several inches of snow this morning. It’s beautiful, and looks so peaceful out there — I am relishing the beauty and stillness as I sip my coffee. And yes, of course, I’m wearing my favorite super soft sweatpants.
It’s been quite a month and so I thought I’d re-share some recent highlights from Now What in case you missed them.
This discussion on where everyone is finding comfort right now was a salve I really needed. Some great suggestions here.
I think it’s so important to be open about the mistakes I make as a parent. This essay I wrote on the unnecessary and unhelpful things I discovered I was doing to protect my son’s feelings resonated with a lot of you.
I loved discussing the fascinating research on what we can do to build our kids’ self-identity, self-esteem, and emotional literacy through simple storytelling.
On why I watch adult TV shows with my kids. The comments on this one are GOLD.
I started a chat yesterday to crowdsource ideas for what we can all do to make a difference right now in simple ways. Check out the growing list of excellent suggestions, and share your own.
Don’t forget that you can get six free months of paid content to Now What by pre-ordering my new book Hello, Cruel World! and sending the receipt to HelloCruelWorld@PRH.com.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. ❤️
