Hey friends! In this bite-sized nugget, I’m talking about something I see allll the time in modern parenting—catering everything to the youngest kid. From activities to movie choices, it’s easy to default to what the baby needs... but it’s time we shift that. I’m breaking down what I call “aging up”—prioritizing your oldest’s stage of development instead of dragging them back to toddler-level everything. This episode is part pep talk, part reality check, and 100% permission to not make things fair between siblings (because they never will be). So yeah, your baby might be eating hot Cheetos while watching Harry Potter—but your oldest deserves to grow forward, not backward. Let’s get into it.
