💼👶 71% of Gen Z and 74% of millennial women believe having kids can hurt their careers.
And with the cost of raising a child now topping $300,000, it’s no wonder many are rethinking what family looks like.

The choice to have “just one” or none at all isn’t just personal. It’s deeply practical.

☀️ Summer is almost here, and that means sunshine, no school, and a whole lot of unstructured time.

Parents, now is the perfect moment to mentally prepare. Take a breath, set realistic expectations, and remember that you don’t need to be your child’s cruise director 24/7.

You’ve got this. ✨

With social media deeply woven into kids’ lives, it’s essential to teach them that even one seemingly harmless post or Snap can have lasting consequences. Helping them pause and think before they share is key to raising responsible digital citizens.

Today, there is greater acceptance of parents choosing to have just one child, without the assumption that more will follow. This shift reflects changing attitudes toward family size, personal choice, and modern parenting realities.

Confidence is one of the quiet superpowers often nurtured in only children. 💬 Growing up without siblings means learning to advocate for yourself early, and that skill carries over into adulthood.

It’s a common misconception that only children grow up thinking they can run the show everywhere they go.The reality?They quickly learn that what might work at home won’t fly with friends. Social interactions teach only children important lessons about compromise, cooperation, and shared leadership.
