FlickeringFirefly+FollowWhen My Eight-Year-Old Became the Calm in My StormYesterday, I hit my breaking point—work deadlines, laundry piling up, and dinner burning on the stove. I felt like I was losing my mind. Out of nowhere, my eight-year-old quietly stepped in. She started organizing her siblings, set the table, and even offered me a glass of water. Watching her take charge with such calm and kindness made me pause and breathe. Sometimes, our kids surprise us with wisdom and grace beyond their years. I’m grateful for these little moments that remind me we’re all learning together. Have your kids ever stepped up when you least expected it?

leslieedwards+FollowTeaching Kids About Leadership: Lessons from Kamala vs. TrumpAs parents, we often find ourselves navigating tough conversations about leadership and values, especially during high-profile political moments like Kamala vs. Trump. Recently, my daughter asked me why people have such strong opinions about leaders. It sparked a meaningful discussion about what true leadership means—integrity, empathy, and standing up for what you believe in. We talked about how every leader, regardless of their style, teaches us something about the world and ourselves. These moments remind me that our children are always watching and learning from how we respond. How do you talk to your kids about leadership and differences in opinion?
