It's OK Not to Share | Heather Shumaker on Homework, Sharing, and Technology

Journalist HEATHER SHUMAKER shares insights from her parenting books loved by so many free-thinking moms: “It’s Ok to Go Up the Slide: Renegade Rules for Raising Confident and Creative Kids” and "It’s OK Not to Share and Other Renegade Rules for Raising Competent and Compassionate Kids” (Penguin Random House). With a warm voice and a no-nonsense attitude, Heather helps us advocate for our children's unalienable right to be kids! We discuss the importance of childhood physical risk-taking and the benefits of scraped knees. She reminds us that CONFLICT is a great opportunity for our little ones to learn conflict resolution and gives us the tools to help them do it successfully! She tells us how to sidestep the "time to turn it off" screen-time wars, and what to do if our kids are being assigned too much homework in school. We're starting a renegade parenting revolution!
