Guest post: 31 Ideas to Encourage Your Kid on a Bad Day

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Her humility amazes me, and I love that her blog funds her non-profit that supports impoverished women around the world–including some maternity homes right here in Africa. The post: 31 Ideas to Encourage Your Kid on a Bad Day.

P.S. My kids have had enough bad days to make this post based on, uh, a lot of life experience–!
