Live AMA! Right now!

Plus: Should we pretend to be happy for our kids?

Hi everyone! Our October AMA is starting now. Join me in the comments section for the next hour! I’m happy to answer questions you have any pretty much anything — parenting, juggling work + kids, writing, teaching, cooking, whatever. I already have reader questions lined up on what to do when kids lie and how to get kids to do chores, which I’ll be addressing — join and share your thoughts, too!
