RogueRiddler+FollowIs There Really an Age Limit for Snuggling With Our Kids?How old is too old for snuggling? As my oldest hit double digits, I started to wonder if our nightly cuddles would soon fade away. But last night, after a tough day, he quietly slipped onto the couch beside me and rested his head on my shoulder. In that moment, I realized that the need for comfort and connection doesn’t have an expiration date. Whether they’re toddlers or teens, our kids crave that safe space where they can just be themselves. Maybe the real question is: How can we keep those moments alive as they grow?

leslieedwards+FollowHelping Your Child Open Up: Conversations That Truly MatterAs parents, we often sense when something’s weighing on our child’s heart—but knowing how to start that conversation can be the hardest part. Especially today, when our 10 to 12-year-olds are navigating a world shaped by social media, pressure, and self-doubt we never faced at their age. I remember driving my daughter to soccer practice when she suddenly asked, “Do you ever feel like nothing’s going to work out?” That opened the door to a conversation we both needed. Pair these with active listening and well-timed chats (walks work wonders!), and you’ll be amazed at how your child starts to open up. What’s helped your child feel safe enough to talk?

I want my daughter to trust her instincts and feel safe expressing herself, but it’s hard when those closest to us blur the lines of truth. I’m learning to step in gently, validate her feelings, and set boundaries with my parents, even when it’s uncomfortable. Has anyone else faced this challenge with family? How did you handle it?

Jason Drake+FollowThe Heartbreak of Hearing My Child’s Silent StruggleLast night, I had a conversation with my child that broke my heart in ways I never expected.

My child looked at me with tear-filled eyes and asked, "Why do I feel so alone, even when you’re here?" I felt powerless, wishing I could instantly take away their sadness. All I could do was hold them close and remind them that I’m always here, no matter what.
