My Kid Has A Bizarre Obsession With Humpty Dumpty
[[link removed]] 
This one is for all the parents out there whose kid has become totally
fascinated with a specific character or thing — which is to say practically all
of us. It’s extra funny in this case because, for Julie Kling’s son, it isn’t
Thomas the Tank Engine or a Paw Patrol pup. It’s Humpty Dumpty, nursery rhyme
protagonist. And it’s been an obsession for almost a full calendar year, at this
point.

She writes: “With the song and story firmly implanted in my son’s heart, he
started reenacting Humpty’s fall and putting him back together again whenever
and wherever he could, using whatever and whoever was available to him. This
orange you’re about to eat? It’s now orange Humpty! That baby you’re currently
breastfeeding? Button up Mama, I need her for the King’s Horse, and you’re the
King’s Men!”

But it turns out there are very real developmental reasons for this sort of
thing, and benefits, too. Something to tell yourself while answering your 87th
question of the morning about the Frozen universe.

Here's What Happened When I Used Silence More In My Parenting
[[link removed]] 
It’s always so tempting to respond to your kids with justifications and
arguments. Thao Thai — who admits that she is a lifelong talker — tried
something new, and that’s keeping her mouth shut for a moment. She’s not talking
about cruelly deploying the silent treatment; she’s talking about responding
with an even, neutral look and a moment for everybody involved to pause and
reset. And it really, really worked.
