March hits different when you have a teenager. Spring break is looming, which means they’re either over-scheduled with plans you’re somehow meant to fund and chauffeur, or committed to doing absolutely nothing except existing horizontally. School stress is peaking, friend drama is at Code Red, and despite being “too old” for family time, they somehow need you more than ever.

This year, skip the usual resolutions and focus on the inner voice you’re giving your child. Every word, especially in tough moments, shapes how they see themselves.

When toddlers hit or bite, it’s not villainy—it’s communication. With calm guidance and loving firmness, we help them grow into kind, respectful humans, one gentle redirection at a time.
