Tried to start a big family tradition and watched it fizzle by month two? This week on Parent Support Circle, Curtis and RJ dig into why elaborate, planned family traditions die so quickly, why the ones that last form by accident out of something low-effort and ordinary, and how to notice and reinforce the small rituals already happening in your house. RJ shares how one stoplight joke outlasted every intentional tradition he ever tried to launch.

Is there really a correct number of hours for screen time? This week on Parent Support Circle, Curtis and RJ break down why ‘how much is too much’ is the wrong question to spend your energy on — and share the questions that actually predict how screen time affects a kid: what it's displacing (especially sleep), what kind of content is filling those hours, and how a kid transitions out of it. RJ shares how reworking his son's screen content, not the clock, solved a problem he'd spent months chasing with the wrong number.
