There’s something different about the way kids grow up with dogs.
A dog doesn’t care if your child is still learning their words, still figuring out their feelings, or still having the occasional meltdown over the blue cup. The dog is just… there. Laying on their feet while they read, trotting behind them as they wobble on a bike, curling up in their lap after a hard day they can’t fully explain yet.

Last year, the FDA banned Red Dye 3, a bright cherry-red dye found in many foods, drinks and medicines. Since then, more than 30 states have introduced bills to restrict or ban artificial dyes. With all this attention on food dyes, it's natural to wonder what it means for your family. The good news? You don't need to get rid of every colorful snack or skip birthday cake. Instead, focus on balance and overall eating patterns: provide a diet that consists of mostly whole foods and try to limit ultra processed options, which are the biggest source of added dyes.

🔦 "Just one more chapter!" Some of the best childhood memories start under a cozy blanket with a trusty flashlight and a world of imagination. Reading together (even past bedtime) builds a lifelong love for stories and connection. Sleep tight, little explorers! ✨📚

When we scroll while they 'serve' us a smile or a question, the connection drops—literally. 📉📱 'Technoference' can interrupt the crucial 'serve and return' interactions that build your child's brain architecture. It's not about being perfect, but about being present. Put the phone down and let the signal flow clear. 🧠✨ "

Happy National Hugging Day! 🫂 Did you know a 20-second hug releases oxytocin, the 'love hormone,' which lowers stress and boosts heart health for both you and your little one? It's science's favorite way to say 'I've got you.' So go ahead, squeeze them tight—it's doctor's orders! ❤️🧠

Parenting Rule #1: Silence is not golden. Silence is suspicious. Very, very suspicious. 🧻🐕

If you haven’t heard a peep in 5 minutes, go check the bathroom. Or the pantry. Or the dog.
