How Do I Tell My Kid The Tooth Fairy Isn't Fair?
[[link removed]]
Some of the hardest moments in parenting are the ones where you’ve got to
balance your desire to give your kid a moment of simple, uncomplicated happiness
with the bigger picture. For instance: when “grappling with the wildly
unpredictable inequities of the fairy financial system.”
When Keema Waterfield’s daughter lost her first tooth, catching her off-guard,
her biggest problem was that she didn’t have any cash and her debit card had
just expired — “thank you, pandemic,” she writes. But it also took her back to a
tough chapter of her own childhood: “I found myself briefly paralyzed by this
completely predictable parenthood milestone, thrown back to an ongoing heartache
from my childhood. Why were the Tooth Fairy, Santa, and Easter Bunny visits at
my house so shitty compared to my classmates?”
It’s not just the loose teeth that catch you off guard; it’s how fast they start
asking the really hard questions, too.
— Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor

Meet the PAW Patrol Toys That Are About to Fully Become Members of Your Family
[[link removed]]
Preschoolers are little explorers, naturally curious and equipped with the
necessary motor skills to explore the world around them. Unfortunately, their
attention spans tend to run on the short side, which makes keeping them
entertained for more than a few minutes at a time a challenge for parents.
Luckily, the right toys and games can meet this challenge, stimulating young
minds and giving parents time to take care of the many things parents have to
take care of.

I'm An ’80s Baby And I Quit Reminding My Gen Z Kids How Good They Have It
[[link removed]]
When your kids whine, it’s tempting to start with the old “I walked uphill to
school both ways in the snow” routine. (“When I was your age, ‘tablets’ were for
Moses and Fred Flintstone!”) Katie Bingham-Smith stopped doing that with her own
Gen Z kids, though, when she realized it wasn’t working, just like it hadn’t
worked on her: “Trying to pound the good life I was giving them into their heads
did not make them appreciate what they had any more. Here I was on my soapbox.
The very soap box I once wanted to push my parents off.”
