🚫 Reducing screen time + rethinking school
🌱Raising confident, curious, real-world ready kids ↓

What if our kids are more afraid of being left out What if our kids are more afraid of being left out than being themselves?That fear shows up earlier than we think.It’s the 8-year-old changing what they like because someone laughed at their shirt.The 10-year-old quitting art because their friend said it was “cringe.”The middle schooler scrolling TikTok just to learn what they should care about.We tell kids to “be themselves,” but everything around them rewards imitation over individuality.And it’s no wonder so many lose their confidence, curiosity, and voice in the process.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: to help parents raise kids who know who they are, even when the world tells them to be someone else.💥 Comment GET IT and I’ll send you the link to grab your copy!

Kids weren’t scared of a bad grade... they were terrified of not fitting in.And now, that fear doesn’t stop at the classroom door. It follows them home through Snapchat streaks, TikTok trends, and group chats they feel like they have to be part of.Belonging feels like survival in middle school. But when belonging becomes the only goal, kids lose sight of who they really are.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: to give parents tools to help their kids anchor to values, not likes.📖 Get your hands on one of the first copies by commenting GETIT

Screens can show kids experiments.But when they Screens can show kids experiments.But when they get to do the science: that’s when curiosity explodes. 💥
MEL Science kits turn your kitchen table into a mini lab... with hands-on projects that help kids actually understand how the world works.
No passive watching. No rote memorizing. Just real learning through building, experimenting, and exploring.As a former teacher, this is what I wish every science class looked like:
🧪 Curiosity-driven
🔧 Hands-on
💡 Actually fun
If you want your kids to fall in love with learning again (and not just pass a test), these kits are such an easy way to start.
