Getting boys to talk isn’t easy. I know because not only am I a parent to two boys, I once was a boy. It’s important to realize that boys want to connect with others on a deep level, but they don’t always know how. That means that as parents, we have to practice patience — lots and lots of patience. There will be times, regardless of our best efforts, that we won’t get much out of boys, but in my experience, patience pays off. Stay calm and show them that they can trust you, and eventually they open up.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom
WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
