Things to Teach Your Kids Before They Leave the Nest
Some days, it feels like we’re just trying to get through the day until bedtime. And whether you have toddlers or teens, the last few weeks of summer and first few weeks of school can feel particularly busy, and overwhelming at times. That’s why we love this smart list from Palm Beach Moms, of things to teach your kids before they leave the nest. The days may feel endless, but the years are not. Take some time every week to teach them something they’ll need to know when you’re not there. There may even be a few things on this list you can learn together.

Retiring “Super Mom”
By definition, the term “Super Mom” divides moms, implying that some are super—and some not-so-super. Spoiler alert: Every mother is incredible in different ways. There is no one “right” way to be a parent. Biological moms, adoptive moms, attachment moms, free-range moms—we’re all just hoping to raise good little people who grow into good big people who reflect values we hold dear (whatever those may be).
