An Atlantic article reveals 28% of women are estranged from their fathers. A dad with a son reflects on what the father-daughter divide teaches about emotional vulnerability, masculinity, and building genuine intimacy with children of any gender.

A New York Times piece confirms what parents already know: watching TV with your kids isn't rotting their brains. From Bluey to Paw Patrol, co-viewing creates connection and shared culture. Stop feeling guilty about screen time.

Modern fathers are discovering the joy of intensive parenting—and the impossible bind mothers have faced for 60 years. Why involved fatherhood is rewarding, exhausting, and structurally unsupported in today's workplace.

The American birthrate is collapsing—except among young conservative men who want large families. A deep dive into the demographic crisis, economic anxiety, and the culture war over fertility that's reshaping America's future.

There is a moment most parents know. It comes quietly. A child sits on the floor with their shoes undone. The laces lie there like something foreign. The child looks up and says, simply, I can’t. Or they stand beside a bicycle, one foot on the pedal, and shake their head before they’ve begun. I’ll never do it. Not me.

Every January, parents are hit with a familiar pressure. Be more patient. Cook better meals. Limit screen time. Read more books. Raise tiny geniuses who also sleep perfectly and say “thank you” without being reminded. Let’s try something different this year.

Between family gatherings, travel, late-night events, and over-stimulating everything, it’s easy to feel like you’re one tantrum away from canceling the whole season. But with a little planning and the right mindset, you can create a holiday experience that’s joyful for your kids and survivable for you.

Preschoolers are full of big questions about life, death, fairness, and the world. Learn how to respond with honesty, compassion, and confidence while keeping the wonder alive.

Getting a preschooler ready in the morning can feel like an Olympic event. Here’s why mornings are so chaotic, what this says about modern work-life balance, and practical tips to make the routine smoother.

If you’ve ever stepped barefoot on a LEGO brick at 2 a.m., you’ve probably had the same thought every parent has had at least once: We have too many toys. Between birthdays, holidays, grandparents, and impulse buys, modern families are drowning in plastic. What can we do about it? Quite a bit.

Every parent knows what it’s like to lay in bed, book in hand, about to launch into a bedtime story ready for the “Once upon a time.” But what if the magic doesn’t start with reading the story, but with the conversation that follows?

Kids are having a tougher time than ever when it comes to reading comprehension. Fully 33 percent of U.S. eighth-graders are reading at a “below basic” level, meaning they struggle to follow even the order of events in a passage. Meanwhile 40 percent of fourth-graders are similarly behind. This is a clear wake-up call for parents.

There’s something magical about watching your child make their first real friend. Not just parallel play in the sandbox or trading snacks at preschool, but an actual bond—two little humans choosing each other for reasons only they can fully understand.

If you have ever heard your child declare, “I’m bored!” with the dramatic intensity of a Shakespearean actor, you know how tempting it is to swoop in with solutions. But before you reach for the remote or glue sticks, take a deep breath and let those words hang in the air for a moment.

Monsters under the bed, loud noises, and separation tears are part of preschool life. Learn why these fears are normal and how parents can respond in ways that build security and confidence.

Sharing sounds simple enough. Your toddler grabs a toy, another child wants it, and the script in your head says, “Share.” But anyone who’s tried this in real life knows it rarely plays out like the picture books promise. Tears, tantrums, and tug-of-war battles are far more common.

The rat race of activities and achievement often leaves parents exhausted and kids overwhelmed. Somewhere along the way, we traded in free afternoons and messy play for a color-coded calendar of “enrichment.” The Slow Parenting Movement is here to remind us that it does not have to be this way.

If you’ve ever caught yourself blurting “Don’t do that!” to your kid in a moment of frustration, you’re not alone. But for the everyday conflicts—the spilled milk, the harsh words to a sibling, the refusal to share—there’s a better way.

My son is almost four years old, and he still doesn’t sleep through the night. There it is. While plenty of parenting books promise that kids will “figure it out” eventually, some of us are still wandering the house at 2:00 a.m. holding a glass of water in one hand and a stuffed animal in the other.
