Parenting tips, tools + news

We're all about surprises today. From the good — surprise! There's a root vegetable hidden in that birthday cake! To the not-so-good — surprise! An unexpected little visitor walked in on your, umm, adult time.

Don't worry. We've got you. Plus, I'm extra excited to share our lineup of incredible TEDx talks by Seattle-area youth that are especially close to my teacher heart. After watching a few with your tween or teen, I bet they just might have a few surprising ideas of their own.
