Well okay, you've read the bedtime stories and have dressed your child in his most comfortable PJ's. (You might have even slipped him a melatonin gummy after his bath, and rubbed his temples with lavender essential oils.) But what about optimizing his sleep environment?

It's inevitable. There will be times (plenty times) that the kiddos will just have to... wait. Whether you're out for an oil change or needing to kill time before a playdate, stuck in line at the DMV (good luck), or waiting for big brother's baseball game to end, there will absolutely be times when your child will need to sit quietly and occupy themselves. 

Summer can be a tricky season for parents of teen boys. They might feel too old for many of the activities they enjoyed as children, but they're not always old enough to work full-time or spend every day driving around with friends.

Ah, your little one is teething! This common milestone can begin as early as 3 months and last until your child is about 3 years old. If your baby is in this age range and you’re noticing any of the following signs, they may be getting some new teeth! (And YOU might be getting less rest, at least for a little while!)
