31 Mar-14 Apr: Activities for your budding creative (#10)
Hello APP community — and happy Spring!
Things have been very busy lately for me and the other APP organizers. Between the Burnout Support Program starting tomorrow, Co-Work with Kids the week after, our Fourth Trimester Program in development, two new full time jobs, renovations, visitors, traveling… Suffice to say it has been a lot for the team. We took a pause from Dear Dr. Mom (our parenting advice column) for this issue to rest and regroup. We talk so much about finding balance and giving yourself grace as a parent — time to put that into practice ⚖️
That said, now is a great time to submit your burning baby/toddler parenting questions for the experts in our network! You don’t have to rely on WhatsApp or 2am Googling. We have a ton of professionals, from sleep consultants to career coaches, willing to volunteer their time to answer you — with real scientific information — through our Dear Dr. Mom column 👩⚕️
No question is too small — and it’s likely that someone else in our community is going through the exact same thing. All questions will be anonymized and edited for clarity, too.

Co-Work with Kids on 8 April
