3 Ways to Encourage Your Musically Inclined Child*
Are you a parent of a musically inclined child? This one is for you! Encouraging my daughter’s skill building and hobbies has always felt like part of my job as a parent. It was something I never felt my parents did for me, everything always felt like effort on their part. And I definitely felt like I suffered for this.

Yes, we’re talking the concept of “treat yourself” and if you’re a Parks & Recreation fan, you’ll know what I mean. There is no escaping how truly horrible 2020 and 2021 were for a lot of people, and I could feel myself slipping into a hole of negative…
