This Week's Episode:
We come back to the issue of parenting guilt every few months...I guess because it is front of mind (and heart) for us. Maybe you can relate.

This week we are unpacking why we shouldn't feel so much guilt about how our kids spend their time during the summer. We remind ourselves about a few things:

• The summer doesn't have to be perfect.
• We don't have to curate a world of perfect adventures.
• It is ok--no, it is good--for our kids to be bored.
• It is normal to want space from our kids sometimes. They don't need a 24-hour a day cruise director.
• We should stop emotionally beating ourselves up over all of this.

The Stat of the Week is about the "changes" in how teens spend their time during the summer.
