@janylsmithesq: There will inevitably be a few "let the kids be kids" comments made whenever I share Summer conversing about orthopedic cases with her dad over dinner, post about 30 books a day, share Cooper talking about rules of law with me, etc. Like I always say, do what's best for your family and we'll do what's best for ours! Who else has been told this (completely unsolicited btw) before? #intentionalparenting #parentinglittles #letkidsbekids #scrollaway #positivespace
Has this person never seen Summer’s eyes light up when talking about bones….

Kids be kids is the same person who says boys will be boys. Kids want responsibility and accountability. Don’t fail them!! (You’re doing all the right things)

I don’t even want kids but if I did, I would be the parent you are. I am so inspired by how y’all show up and encourage your kids while showing the literal world. When talking to my friends who do want kids, I often reference your videos cause I think y’all have the most amazing, understanding and accessible approach to parenting especially parenting children of color.

Kids are natural sponges. They naturally want to learn and are curious. I love how you are helping them learn about things that make them curious… signed a former teacher.
