NightNightingale+FollowDiscovering Our Family Code: What Values Guide Your Home?What's your code? 💪🏾 For us, it’s all about kindness, honesty, and resilience. I remember a moment last year when my daughter stood up for a classmate who was being left out. She told me later, "That’s just what we do in our family." That simple statement made me realize how much our daily conversations and actions shape her sense of right and wrong. Our family code isn’t written on the wall, but it’s in the way we treat each other every day. What values are at the heart of your family? Share your code below—I’d love to hear your stories! #FamilyValues #ParentingJourney #RaisingGoodHumans #Parenting00Share
QuirkyQuokka+FollowCelebrating My Toddler’s Embrace of Gender-Neutral PlayToday, I witnessed my 3-year-old naturally gravitate toward toys and activities that aren’t traditionally labeled for boys or girls. As a proud dad, moments like these fill me with hope for a future where our kids feel free to be themselves, without limits or labels. Watching my child confidently choose what brings joy—whether it’s trucks, dolls, or painting—reminds me how important it is to support their choices and nurture their individuality. It’s a small step, but it means the world to me as a parent. How do you encourage your little ones to explore all sides of themselves?

leslieedwards+FollowNothing Compares to the Joy of Parental PrideToday I learned that nothing quite matches the rush of pride you feel as a parent. Watching my child accomplish something new—whether it’s a small act of kindness or a big achievement—fills my heart in a way I never expected. It’s those moments when you see their hard work pay off, or witness them making good choices, that remind you all the late nights and tough talks are worth it. Parental pride isn’t just about their success; it’s about seeing them grow into their own person. That feeling is pure magic! What’s a moment that made you feel proud as a parent?

Kathryn Davis+FollowMy kid killed a frog. I am desperate My 8-year-old son recently killed a frog at the pond because he was curious if it had red blood. I was terrified. We had him evaluated at a psychiatric ward, but they only diagnosed ADHD — no deeper concerns. We set clear consequences: no screens, no trips to the pond, and no more visits to grandma’s farm for now. We talk daily about what it means to hurt and to kill, about how every living being — a frog, a horse, a cat — shares the same precious life. He says he understands. But how can I be sure he truly feels it? How do I help him develop real empathy, not just repeat the right words? I’m trying everything, but some days it feels like I’m standing still. If you’ve faced something like this, how did you help your child understand the weight of life?
