We have a Gabb. Functionality is totally fine and everything we need. But, I’ve noticed that older elementary kids don’t like the look of it and would prefer something that looked closer to an Apple Watch it’s just bigger and more square than an Apple Watch.

Podcast rec!Favorite podcasts?? I don’t want anything too heavy that uses a ton of brain power, but also don’t want real housewives numb out level. Something in between. I can learn but not have to focus too much.

Best go-to easy dinnerWe love the defined dish but try to choose her recipes that don’t have 10,000 obscure ingredients.
This is a favorite-can control spice level for the various eaters in the house. Top with cheese, guacamole, sour cream, whatever! -
Melatonin-free sleep vitamins for kids and teens?I can tell you what not to do (equally as helpful?). I just bought an expensive AF magnesium spray to spray on my kid’s feet and legs before bed and they say it itches and refuse to use it. The pharmacist said it tingles so maybe thats the “itching” sensation…who knows, but never again

Kindergarten Help!Sunglasses, you’re gonna cry
Helps to have plans after drop off, even if it’s just planning to pick up a coffee.
Try and get there earlier to let your child adjust so you’re not running in right before the bell.
You got this! -
Do I hold my June Baby Back for Kindergarten?Similar sentiments as above. It’s getting out of hand. Unless there is a real reason to hold them back(that’s different), send them in the grade they are aligned to. It’s causing misalignments in the classroom and it’s not fair to the teacher to expect them to teach to kids that aren’t in the appropriate grade. Also, challenges shouldn't be feared for kids, it builds grit and resiliency (again within reason assuming there's no real reason to hold back). It's not a good thing to have everything come easy as a kid, to always get the awards, always make the team, etc

6 year old boy - help getting himself dressedA visual reminder. Either he can check it off as he goes or maybe get a reward if he gets dressed 5 days in a row? They are like puppies, they have to be trained lol

Biting at daycareUnless they are attacking children I saw let it slide? What can toddlers really understand/control? Maybe i'm off here but I feel like it's normal

Edibles? Need help sleepingAlso a fan of delta 9. I try and just take a little bit and that's enough. I'm curious about any of the newer drinks with adoptogens, mushrooms etc

Average amount of sex per week??It really just depends on us with out life is going. Are the kids sleeping? Is work stressful? Are we traveling for work? I really try to make sure we are intimate at least once a week but it truthfully doesn't always happen. Hopefully it won't always be this way though.

Questioning the 4th kidI hear you never regret the kids you have. I'm just so tired and overwhelmed and worn out. Idk how people do it. It sounds fun though!

PediatriciansThere's a list floating around, i'll try and find it. It's actually longer than you would think. I think people are just scared to talk about it but it's more common now then it used to be

Constipation in kids...we need HELP!Does magnesium work? The citrate version. Apple sauce works pretty well for us. Or prune juice in smoothies?
I also do not feel comfortable giving my kids miralax unless it's super bad about to go to the dr for pain, bad. -
Smartphones & TechnologyI recently read research that said there wasn't any harm to delaying even if your child feels like they are the only one. I do feel like there is momentum starting in the direction of delaying smartphones and social media. I'm definitely for it. Hope it continues.
