Sleep Training Sucks. Here's How I Got Myself Through It.
[[link removed]]
Nothing quite prepares you for the white-knuckle ride that is sleep training;
doesn’t the expression go “sleeping like a baby,” after all? Yeah, right. Writer
Julie Kling has a number of helpful suggestions, drawn from her own experiences
of trying to distract herself while her children screamed like banshees. The
best part? Her son’s middle name is Morpheus — you know, like the god of sleep
and dreams.
For instance, she suggests taking a little time for yourself: “Dump half the bag
of lavender epsom salts into the tub, let the rushing water drown out baby
cries, and consider that incredible body you have — the one that birthed and/or
provides for the needs of this creature. I take this time to massage my
C-section scar, feeling grateful I live in a time and place that offered a safe
alternative to delivering my 10-pound breech baby via vag.”
Now that’s what I call self care.

So Your 9-Year-Old Has Breast Buds? Don’t Panic.
[[link removed]]
It’s one of the earliest signs of puberty, and they’re likely to arrive earlier
than you might expect for your child, as girls hit puberty younger than a
generation or two ago. Why doesn’t matter as much as how you react — even if
you’re caught off guard, don’t freak out. “If your kid is feeling OK about their
changing body, the last thing you want to do is rock the boat with your baggage.
If they’re feeling worried or confused, you definitely don’t want to add your
crap to their worries,” write Vanessa Kroll Bennett and Cara Natterson.
