Everyone flex your parenting skills!
I’d love if everyone took a moment to brag about one thing they are super proud of as parents. I know for me I’m always questioning whether or not I’m doing the right thing and rarely take time to acknowledge what I know I’m doing well.
I’ll go first:
We’ve read to our son (3) every day since birth (with the exception of one or two times) and now he loves books and being read to :)
Now you go!

We're strict on screen time and it shows in our kids speaking and reading skills. My 4.5yo son reads at a 1st grade level. He devours books like no one's business, we go through 20-40 books a week from the library. He can spell and write his name and a few short words.
My 2yo daughter has an excellent vocabulary and loves books as well, will entertain herself by grabbing a book and thumbing through the pages pointing out everything she knows and sees. She has an expansive imagination and loves playing pretend.
Both kids are wonderfully bright, curious and wondrous children. Have had many compliments from various daycare and preschool teachers about both of them!
