Every Child Should Get Free Therapy
 
Today, Erin Lane is talking about one of the things that has helped sustain her as an adoptive mom: therapy. “It was one of the benefits of fostering — and later adoption — that my three school-aged girls came with the built-in support of Medicaid and, even more fortunately (and miraculously), a handful of high-quality therapists who took subsidized insurance. Honestly, for this reason alone, fostering and adoption is the only way I can imagine surviving parenting in modern America. Because, over the years, it’s been my kids’ therapists who have unequivocally re-parented me.” 

Her perspective is super interesting. Check it out.

LET THEM HANDLE IT
I Don’t Check My Kids’ Grades In The Parent Portal And I’m Not Gonna Start
 
“When my oldest started kindergarten, I thought it was pretty cool that I could go in and look at his progress in his classes via an online parent portal,” writes Diana Park. But fast forward a few years and does she still use it? Nope: “Honestly, I forgot about it after the initial newness wore off. Two kids and two years later, I still don’t check the thing, and I have no intention of starting.” Read to find out why. It’ll make you feel a whole lot better about being a “slacker” parent.
