About the Hush Up Series

As natural as spring follows winter, children test limits. While children try to become independent, their words and behavior often say 'no.' Your child won't go to bed, doesn't go along for the ride, or may have a range of mealtime and other routine behaviors.

The Hush Up Series gives parents and children a chance to laugh at themselves through universal parent/child struggles while learning a thing or two about our natural world along the way.
