Beyond just making good grades (which is a journey

Beyond just making good grades (which is a journey in itself), I asked folks: what are your recommendations to help position a kid for applications to schools like these, especially for highly specialized STEM or physics programs?

I’ve been doing some research to help me prepare

I’ve been doing some research to help me prepare for the future journeys I will have to walk alongside my children on, and here is one that kind of freaks me out as a Mom who still sees them as my little babies. However, romantic love and intimacy are a natural part of life. Here, I’m sharing some of the knowledge I’m equipping myself with for ongoing and future parenting conversations.

You don’t need to have perfect answers. You just need to show up with honesty, respect, and the willingness to keep the conversation going.

- Talk about what healthy intimacy looks like.

- Teach them how to recognize manipulation or coercion, and how to respect others.
Remind them that NOT doing something is always an option.

- And let them know, no matter what, they can come to you.

- You’re not planting ideas. You’re planting wisdom.
