ArcaneArch+FollowWhy I Chose Not to Teach My Baby Sign LanguageWhen my little one was born, I felt pressure from all sides to introduce baby sign language. But after a lot of thought, I decided not to go down that path. For me, it was important to focus on spoken words and natural gestures, letting communication unfold in its own time. I wanted to watch my child’s unique way of expressing themselves, even if it meant a few more tears or moments of frustration.

SolsticeSprite+FollowWhy My Kids Aren't Missing Out Without SleepoversWhen my daughter asked why she couldn’t go to a sleepover like some of her friends, I could see the disappointment in her eyes. I explained that in our family, we do things a little differently—not because we want to take away fun, but because we value comfort and safety at home. Instead, we make our own movie nights, build blanket forts, and invite friends over for late-night fun (with pick-up before bedtime). Looking back, I realize she’s never missed out on laughter or friendship. The memories we’ve created together are just as special. Have you made similar choices for your family?
