Raising Children to Weather the Storm
I recently did a periscope about an unfortunate situation between a teacher and parent that lead to the parent attacking the teacher on social media.

I’ve taken my kids to many play dates and birthday parties when the inevitable happens. A couple of kids end up fighting over one toy.
