My kids are reading at home now more than ever… and I love it! #PenguinKidsPartner With school being done remotely now, many teachers have been encouraging free-reading and I think it’s incredible. I’m someone who has always loved to read, but it hasn’t always been that easy with my sons. They like to read, but they don’t love to read. In order for them to really get locked into a story, they need to LOVE the book.

.

Whenever I find books that my sons can’t put down, I share them immediately with my friends. My son Ben hasn’t been able to put down the book WINK from @penguinkids down. I think what drew him in at first was how bright and bold the book cover is, but then I told him to read the first chapter and tell me what he thought. .

.

What did he think? He just kept reading! Honestly - this was music to my ears (or my eyes!). I had a feeling he’d like it because it’s a hilarious and heart-wrenching story about surviving middle school–with an unthinkable diagnosis–and while embracing life’s weirdness. Ben’s in middle school, so I knew that connection would be a good one for him. Not to mention… he’s in 7th grade, as is Ross Maloy (the main character). Ross just wants to be a normal seventh grader. He doesn’t want to lose his hair, or wear a weird hat, or deal with the disappearing friends who don’t know what to say to “the cancer kid.” But with his recent diagnosis of a rare eye cancer, blending in is off the table.

WINK is based on author @robbtopp ‘s real life experience, and is packed with comic panels and spot art. This incredibly personal and poignant novel is an unforgettable, heartbreaking, hilarious, and uplifting story of survival and finding the music, magic, and laughter in life’s weirdness.

WINK is a meaningful, special and beautiful book. I highly recommend it for your middle school aged child (I read it as well and fell love with it, reading as a parent touched my heart). You’ll have a deeper appreciate for a simple wink… that I promise you! #WinkforKindness

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Transgender children So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are your thoughts on the matter? Do u think the parents are behind this? Idk because I haven't met the parents or children. I just think at 5 it's very young for children to really understand. What do u ladies think?
