Adventures in SLIGHTLY Above Average ParentingWelcome to Adventures in SLIGHTLY Above Average P Author: Max's Mom
Welcome to Adventures in SLIGHTLY Above Average Parenting. Im Maxs Mom. Thats not the name I was born with but it seems to be the name that is sticking the most these days so Ive CLAIMED IT! Im Maxs Mom, the artist formerly known as Candice. Im the proud mother to a year of the dragon, Gemini, Ive been here before, 7 going on 45-year-old boy named Maximus Chase. He is the joy of my heart, the source of my greys and the reason I drink occasionally. In addition to being his mom, I consider myself a community mom. What does that mean? That means, I try to be what I had and needed to the village/posse Ive built. Guess what, you are all part of that posse now. I shall call us, the parent posse. Aside from being a mom, Ive lived the life of a licensed teacher and actor. This trifecta allows me to be an edutainer. Dont judge me, I spend most of my time with little people. Ive realized, parenting is a daily adventure filled with stories. Some funny, some heavy and some that leave you in tears. Kids dont come manuels and we are all doing our best to get by. As we go on this adventure called parenting, it is better together, in community. So welcome to mine. Join me as I tell stories from my friends, myself and maybe some of yours of the lessons learned on this adventure of slightly above average parenting. Why Slightly above average. Well come on if we did exceptional parenting all the time, they would have nothing to complain to their therapist to in the future. In addition to our weekly stories, I will drop a mini episode with an educational suggestion to help, hopefully, load your parenting toolbox to help your little people make developmental and academic gains. Im so excited to have you join me on this adventure of SLIGHTLY above average parenting. And if you are having a bad parenting day, remember, the mom on ET had an alien living in her house for days and never even noticed. Just saying. If youre doing better than that, you are already winning. Be kind to yourself!! Language: en Genres: Kids & Family Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

An Athletic Attitude - Episode 8
Wednesday, 13 November, 2019
An Athletic Attitude- What does it mean to be a good sport? What do we project when our kids are watching and hearing us at their sporting events. We talk about what and how we should and could be projecting onto them. Win or lose it is how you play and end the game. @bondingwithabook - Wonder-August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a severe facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past his extraordinary face. Wonder begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include the perspectives of his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These voices converge to portray a community as it struggles with differences, and challenges readers, both young and old, to wonder about the true nature of empathy, compassion, acceptance, friendship, and—ultimately—kindness. Parenting Toolbox Suggestion- Care Bags- Paper bags filled with kindness items for those less fortunate. You and your child spend time together gathering items, including a drink and a snack that your child things MUST go in it, and items that will help in the person's overall care. Place a note or sticker on the bag. Keep in the car and share it with someone in need. Everyone wins =) Need to find us on a specific platform- https://linktr.ee/MaxsMom
