    Parents Why are all the insta gym moms introducing themselves?

    I know there is a pretty large movement to protect child influencers. Did you watch the documentary about child actors and the abuse at Nickelodeon studios? The world of child influencers is much like Hollywood was in those years. The industry grows faster than the laws can keep up. Maybe...

    Parents Advice for surviving competitive teammates/workout group?

    You get to decide what you and your daughter can handle. I am always learning that the only people that I have any control over is myself and my daughter. I am constantly working to help her understand this. When she has a coach, teammate, competitor or family talking to her in a way that...

    Parents Picky Eaters & Milk Drinkers Vs. Muscle Mass
