Dear Congress,
Libraries are the place we all belong. The place where Mister Rogers’ neighbors collide at the library to help one another. We come together to embrace library joy. What good is the world without libraries and museums? ❤️🩹
Call, email Congress! Help libraries & museums! We need you 💛

I asked my friend what her kid’s hardest thing was. She said he was quitting everything he wasn’t immediately good at. The “learning space” was too uncomfortable.
I cannot relate in any way. 🫠
May our Robots Inside be reminded today: how brave to even TRY!

Sharing some words from my article published today on Confident Parents, Confident Kids.
To be clear, I am usually an unconfident parent.
But I am confident *this* is true, and I’m going to keep trying to be good at it.
Read “Replacing Shame with Curiosity in Family Culture” below 🙂

If we really put the welfare and well-being of children—ALL CHILDREN—first, it would be the first time we’ve ever done such a thing. And it would change everything.

I have some friends in their 70s. I couldn’t march at the statehouse today, so they asked me to make their signs. I’ve learned 8 million things from them, but here’s two:
1) You bring people in by asking them to do a simple thing they’re good at; that way, no one is doing all the work.
