🫂 **Hug it out for 8 seconds!** 🫂

At our recent town hall, I learned something so simple yet powerful: a child needs to be hugged for **8 seconds** to feel safe. 🥹 So, I put it to the test with my tween. Halfway through, he asked, "What's this for?" When I told him, he smiled, hugged me again, and counted to 8. My heart melted! ❤️

Parents, give it a try! Hug your kid for 8 seconds today and see how they react. Share your experiences or their cute responses in the comments! 👇 Let’s spread the love! 🥰

Snagged these “Transformers One” popcorn buckets today! 🍿🤖 Gonna hide them in plain sight and see if my tween is as smart as he thinks he is. 😜

Nothing deflates your ego faster than your tween son giving you his opinion of your new hairstyle! "Hey 1950's Mom!"

🎾 How can one misplace a tennis racket? Just ask the tween! He has the playbook down to an art form! It involves ninja-level distraction tactics—like spontaneously transforming into a magician mid-match, making the racket vanish into thin air. 🎩✨ Or perhaps it's a case of mistaken identity: the racket masquerading as a backscratcher or a giant fly swatter. 🦟👋 Regardless, Shaw's promising to up his game with a new strategy: attaching a GPS tracker and never letting it out of his sight. 🛰️ Stay tuned as I discover the mystery of the disappearing racket! Why waste my energy though? However, POOR Mama will end up caving in and get a replacement for Monday! 🕵️‍♂️

*Walks into MY bedroom*

There he is—the tween, sprawled like a mini CEO on MY bed, iPad in one hand, remote in the other, surrounded by a fortress of snacks. He looks up and says, "Yes?"

With my best bewildered mom face, I remind him gently, "You're in MY room. UGH, you are so spoiled!"

His response? "I'm not spoiled; I just expect more!"

I left, speechless, pondering how I managed to raise a tiny corporate overlord.
