@ebveloz I want to point out the massive selection bias around sleep training. ADVICE YOU MAY GET: “We sleep trained and it wasn’t that bad, and our toddler is a great sleeper, definitely do it!!” —> their child is naturally a good sleeper so sleep training was easy. ADVICE YOU MAY GET: “oh...

@christianmormon We just got ours!! 2 year old in California who got 2 Moderna doses this summer.

@katrina2017 I definitely know people who’ve waited, to try to optimize things like that, but got Covid in the interim.

@manutd thank you!

Hi all context - 16w pregnant. I'm pretty fit but not a huge exerciser, I more walk up stairs in my daily life, or go hiking, than go to the gym. I do typically run a mile once or twice a week, but some months I'm bad about it. I was able to do short runs (1 mi) about twice a week even during...

@anonymous9090 It’s hard because so much conventional-wisdom advice is all-or-nothing. You can’t keep your kids from getting covid, I mean, you can’t make the risk zero. But you can tend to play outside, look for childcare that expects sick kids to stay home, wear masks indoors & hang out with...

@live4christ2016 hard yes. some days i need to put “feed myself” on a list & cross it off.

@leoooyu Yeah. Once a theory is popular nobody cares that there’s evidence that it’s wrong.

@guevaraj Very confused that indoor air quality hasn’t improved much since 2020!!

@rawrightx Yeah this is the most important thing. Let her feel her feelings.. which will be super hard for the mom with her grief. I’m so sorry OP What I keep reading about children’s trauma is that it’s not the events that cause problems; it’s the events + feeling alone or shut down or unheard...

@apor2017 wtf? I don’t doubt it (my kids are younger). But… whyyyyyyyy

@hailsatan420 thank you!

@cns Yeah this sounds like something about the parent-child dynamic regarding feeding, to me. Toddler parenting here you come! I commented above w some resources for a child w this kind of (wonderful) personality, like my son.

@waffleone3 yeah I wholeheartedly agree & thank you!

@quilly The problem is that the older generation got terrible advice! so if you want to do the work you can validate that it used to be like that, because they couldn’t tell when it would be important to stay inactive and when it’s better to exercise. “but we’re so lucky now, they can tell when...

@christianmiguel also oops that otter isn’t you. you are so patient with these replies!

@christianmiguel ha yeah, my mirror has stuff written on it!

@kmar123 Oh I was specifically responding to where you tell him to “be careful” holding hands in the parking lot isn’t a battle for me, I just do it (tight around his wrist). Touching the stove isn’t a battle cos it’s gated off when in use. I think those feel different to a toddler than being...

@cns Honestly, 18mo - 3yr have been great for me. I like hanging out w my funny, fun toddler. I let him make choices when he can, and when he can’t make a choice I acknowledge that it’s tough. I feel OK when he cries because I don’t think it reflects badly on me. He feels OK crying and...

Like maybe it sounds hokey but things outside of feeding might help, like making EVEN MORE sure your child “feels heard” & feels in control of herself sometimes. They helped us. For respectful parenting I’ve liked Visible Child and @mrchazz but there are a lot of resources. Janet Lansbury etc.
