It is back to school time.

As I'm recording this, I actually just dropped my daughter off at her first day of second

grade.

Oh, can't believe it.

And we know that a lot of you out there are teachers, or librarians, or therapists,

or yoga instructors, or leaders of parenting groups.

It's a new beginning for all of us, right?

And if you're looking for a little something to help get to know parents, or help your

new community get to know each other, we've got just the thing.

Weird parenting wins.

These are parenting strategies that real parents use, but that you never hear from an expert,

like all that trial and error stuff.

We're actually making a book of these, and we've found that sharing these wins makes for

a great icebreaker.

So all you people who want to create a fun and biting atmosphere for parents, try asking

your crew, what's your weird parenting win?

We even made a PDF for you guys to hand out so that folks can easily submit their great

wins directly to us, and they might wind up in our book.

Find this PDF at weirdparentingwins.com and click on download the flyer.

And thanks.

Back before I was a parent, my husband and I were living in Philly, and we made a friend.

His name was Gregory Warner.
