About this notebook
No perfect parents allowed.
Raising Kids is the online notebook of Dana Sibilsky, a mom of four who is fully convinced that no one has parenting completely figured out. It started as a simple place to think out loud about the everyday, hard, funny work of raising a family.
You'll find honest notes on child development, education and discipline, plus the occasional interview, the wins worth celebrating and the very public fails worth laughing about. Take your time, browse the archives, and know that whatever kind of day you're having with your kids, you're in good company.
