Today, I am wearing a coat that I think of as a windbreaker, but alas I suspect it's just a raincoat. Gotta break that wind on this chilly Chicago day!

I have never done it myself, so cannot speak to how easy it is, but it's a surprisingly open process suggesting new emoji. I can surely get behind a biscuit emoji. unicode.org/emoji/propos...

Encouraging but not forcing. It works.

I kept telling him reading is like a super power. Unlocks the world. But it wasn’t until he had interests that drove him to embrace that power that he dove in.

I’m certain not every parent agrees with this, but it’s worked wonders for us: let the kid lead. Let them pursue what interests them, at their pace. We coached our oldest on reading and encouraged it but didn’t press it. HE finally wanted to really read at 7-8, and then it was off to the races.
