Tired of battling with kids about cellphones? Had great interview with two experts for this episode of #parentpeptalk. Hopefully helps you know when and how to introduce kids to smartphone, set limits and bring peace to your home (at least try). parentpeptalk.org.

Loved hanging out @RiversideSchool for newest episode of #parentpeptalk on how #dyslexia is a challenge but also a gift. Hear why our panel of kids with dyslexia said they wouldn’t want it any other way. I agree, by the way. Parentpeptalk.org. @safekids

Thanks @RiversideSchool for being so gracious, but even more for all you do to inspire those incredible kids and help them develop the confidence to do whatever they can imagine. A gift every kid, with dyslexia or without, deserves.

My aunt called me taco flavored, cheese covered, grape, because that's all I ate. I'm better now. The newest episode of #ParentPepTalk tackles what to do if you have a picky eater plus truth about veggies, fast food, organic options. Enjoy. Parentpeptalk.org.

Thanks @JennyTurnbullPB. That was definitely fun interview with @nickpattonillo. So many really smart people in the world and so much potential when we can share with each other and learn from each other. Plus it's just really interesting and fun.

It's one of our biggest challenges as parents: How do we find right balance between giving kids freedom and making sure they’re safe? Some people call it #freerangeparenting. We’re trying to help with this next episode of #ParentPepTalk. parentpeptalk.org

Can't wait to meet the amazing kids @RiversideSchool. Kind of reminds me of the X-men mansion: A place that celebrates extraordinary kids.

#ParentPepTalk launches today. If you’re a parent, please know we have your back. Because parenting can be tough, but I truly believe it’s better when we learn from each other, support each other, and know we’re not alone. Check it out on iTunes or parentpeptalk.org.

Things that make bad mood impossible: Root beer milkshakes. Playing in ocean. Opening number of Tony’s. Great job last night by @joshgroban @SaraBareilles and everyone who shares talent so generously. bit.ly/2HC4bvK

Real leaders give credit, accept blame. Too bad far too few in Washington. Wouldn’t it be nice if just one so-called leader (@speakerryan) said, “partly our fault too”? Let’s do better than #TrumpShutdown, #SchumerShutdown and teach kids blaming others isn’t path to greater good.

The big finale. A huge thanks to Lucy (12), Will and Charlie (11), Sophia (10), Madeline (9), Will G (8), Kate (7) and all the others you’ve already met. Let’s root for lots more creativity and kindness to come in the new year and beyond.

Now we’re building some momentum. Will is amazing, caring, and cool in all the right ways #runsinthefamily. And he’s funny, too, as you’ll see here in Day 6 of 12 Days of Christmas (Boondoggle style). The second Ella of the show is the perfect anchor in day 5.

Ruby delivers in Day 4 of 12 Days of Christmas (Boondoggle style). Here are 4 funny words from #TheLastAkaway and #RockofSarraka: Winklepicker, Rapscallion, Crotchety, Bunghole, (which is not a bad word like some people may think. It’s just a hole for emptying a keg or barrel.)
