Real questions. Honest support. A different perspective on life with kids.
For years, parents have brought us their hardest questions about school stress, big emotions, learning struggles, autonomy, family conflict, and the fears that come with trying to do things differently.
Dear Sari & Becka is our weekly advice column where we respond with compassion, honesty, practical insight, and the perspective shifts that help parents see things differently.
How Dear Sari & Becka works
1. Submit your question anonymously (always).
Ask us about:
school stress, resistance, conflict, behavior, motivation, autonomy, relationships, self-doubt, or whatever feels hard right now.
2. Check your inbox each week for a new Dear Sari & Becka response.
We’ll choose one question and respond with honesty, compassion, practical tools, and a radically different lens.
Compassion first | Honesty always | Different perspective | You’re not alone
Your anonymous space for the messy questions about parenting, learning, school, family life — and everything in between.

…AM I RUINING MY CHILD?
School says my kid is behind, unmotivated, and needs more structure. I feel torn between trusting my instincts and fearing I’m making the wrong decisions.
…WHY DOES EVERYTHING BECOME A BATTLE?
Mornings, homework, bedtime, basic requests — it all turns into conflict. What am I missing?
…IS MY KID LAZY?
They seem unmotivated, resistant, and uninterested in learning. I don’t know whether to push harder or back off.
…MY PARTNER THINKS I’M TOO SOFT.
I want less control and more connection, but my partner thinks kids need firmer boundaries and consequences. Help.
…SCHOOL SAYS MY KID IS THE PROBLEM.
But something in me isn’t convinced. How do I know what’s really going on?
Sari & Becka
Hey, it’s us — Sari & Becka! Parenting doesn’t come with a map for learning struggles, big emotions, family conflict, or the many moments that leave you wondering, “What am I missing?”
As unschooling mamas to neurodivergent kids — and through years of supporting parents navigating the messy realities of life with children — we know these questions from both lived and professional experience.
Dear Sari & Becka is our weekly space to offer honest perspective, practical support, and the occasional loving reality check.
