Be Your Kid’s Best Parent, Not Their Best Friend!

February 2, 2019 By KidSafe Foundation Leave a Comment

“Mom, are you my friend?” Those are the 5 words my son asked me. That small question made me think - how do I want to answer this? It had me pondering what other mothers thought about the idea of “being their child’s friend.” But before I share their thoughts, let me tell you my own: "No, I am not your friend, I am your mom,” is what I told my 10-year-old son.

I’ve built my career - literally - with words; in fact, writing and communication are two of my biggest passions. And so, it is with confidence and from experience that I say (more often than not) the old adage of “less is more” rings true. Sometimes the smallest word makes the biggest impact, and although this word may be seemingly simple, its definition might be …[Read More...]

Eating For Quality When Pregnant

January 5, 2019 By lori bregman Leave a Comment
