What should a 4 year old know? "We are such a competitive culture that even our preschoolers have become trophies and bragging rights. Childhood shouldn’t be a race."
Be sexy, but not too sexy, and other stupid things we're telling girls "Girls, sit by me, let me tell you a story, and let’s hope it has a happy ending."
The important thing about yelling "She’s scared of me, I thought with the most painful realization imaginable. My 6-year-old child is scared of my reaction to her innocent mistake.
With deep sorrow, I realized that was not the mother I wanted my children to grow up with, nor was it how I wanted to live the rest of my life."
Dear White Moms This was a powerful read. So heartbreaking. We're all in this mothering thing together!
Teach us to realize the brevity of life "I feel like parenting is defined by this constant angsty tension – wanting so much for a hard phase to be over, simultaneously feeling guilty that we are wishing it away, and then immediately grieving each stage as soon as it has passed."
