the MudroomScared Focusing on Skill Building Will Produce Entitled Kids?Many parents fear that by giving a child what they need to regulate that they are creating an entitlement. Does it ring true for you that you can't seem to go all-in on skill-building because when you're in red-brain and when you feel affronted, you don't want to give an inch because that will surrender your position as the authority?

the MudroomBodily AutonomyLast week we talked about how boundaries make children feel safe and that it's okay to put limits around space. I'd say on the whole millennial mothers spend a lot of time, effort, and energy teaching their children that they are the boss of their body.

the MudroomPutting Limits Around SpaceThere is nothing I've recommended that seems to get people's backs up like my recommendation to parents to put limits around space for their children.

the MudroomBack Episode: Breaking Down Blanket TimeA member of the Parenting Posse brought up the concept of "Blanket Time" ...so I decided to break it down and see if "Blanket Time" actually accomplishes what those who use it think it is. Spoiler Alert: Nope.
