Episode 20: Why are We Doing Everything for our Kids?
You want your child to be independent—but you also need them to put on their shoes before next Thursday.
In this episode of Notes Due at Midnight, pediatric occupational therapist and mom Casey Openshaw explores why we end up dressing, packing, opening, answering, and doing everything for our kids—and how to give them more opportunities to participate.

Episode 19: When Your Child Says They are Bad at Everything
“I’m bad at everything.” “I’m stupid.” “I can’t do it.”

In this episode of Notes Due at Midnight, pediatric occupational therapist and mom Casey Openshaw talks about frustration, confidence, losing games, and wanting to quit when things get hard. With humor and practical examples, she shares ways to respond to negative self-talk, offer support without immediately taking over, and help kids find a manageable next step.
Plus, a reminder for parents: one hard afternoon doesn’t mean you’re bad at everything, either.
