What are the best ways to motivate a teenager to care about their academics? He cares very much about sports, but could care less about academics. He’s very smart and if he just cared he would get the grades!! Is there any tips and tricks here?!

My son who is 15 (freshman in high school) is starting to prioritize friends over family, and spending all his free time with friends. I am mourning the relationship and strong bond that we’ve had forever! He’s even not wanting to give hugs anymore ! What can I do to maintain our bond, and also is this normal?!

My 4 year old is SUCH a picky eater!! I swear her behavior is linked to meals and being hungry. She seems to have such a small stomach and doesn’t even come close to finishing a meal. What can I do?!

Hi! Looking for advice and experience of people who have gone through similar situation. I have been working since my kids were born, and my oldest is 8 now. I am having trouble finding the balance and motivation to continue working this high stress (tech start up) job, and miss out on my kids younger ages.

Anyone have experience giving up their high paying careers for either part time or staying home?

Scared of the adjustment financially and not having any career at all.

Help! I know this behavior is “normal and curious” but would love help on how to navigate and talk sternly about the subject and actions. My 7 year old son and his girl cousin were touching each others privates. We have had this talk about privates are for no one else but himself, mom/dad and doctors. We also talked to him about how it is NEVER okay to do that. I’m torn between punishing him, because I’m freaked out / having a conversation and navigating it in a productive way. Would love advice!

My son loves video games, we don’t have them but he goes to friends houses and plays them. I loved video games growing up, but I know they’ve changed. Would love any research, experience and all the things to help navigate when or never to introduce them, are their healthy good ones out there still?!

Hi! We are looking to purchase a 3rd row SUV and would love advice! I had a highlander but have 3 kids, and car pool with sports so the trunk space was VERY limited! Would love to hear what others are driving and loving and why!

What is the best tablet option these days? I know a lot of people have Amazon fire tablets (I don't find them user friendly), but open to them. Would love more info on certain models etc. .

White couches with young kids?! Would it be so dumb of me, or is it possible? The cushions CAN be bleached. My youngest is 4 years old. Looking for advice from others who have done it and regretted it or not?!
