Yeah, That’s My Kid At The Top Of The Play Structure, & She’s Fine

May. 5, 2023

IT'S FINE!
Yeah, That's My Kid At The Top Of The Play Structure, & She's Fine

Today, Julia Williamson is thinking about the time she watched her two-year-old climb to the very top of the play structure, utterly confident. She was proud and trusted her daughter's abilities. The other moms? Maybe not so much "But looking around, I see some other mothers giving me some serious side-eye. I suspect they must think I'm wildly negligent. I've had parents ask whose child that is way up at the top, did I realize she'd gone so high? Didn't I recognize how dangerous it was?"

Well, now she's defending the importance of letting your kids do stuff that might make your heart beat a little faster just watching them.

PEACE AND QUIET
My Kids Are In Elementary School & I Never Gave Up Naptime

If you've got older kids, you probably remember the naptime days with a little bit of longing. Personally, I enjoyed that break more than my kid did. Well, Ashley Schuster Downend's kids are too old for naps, but she managed to pull off a pretty neat trick: she never quit naptime. "I still need regular breaks from sibling squabbling, demands for snacks, and requests for the latest Descendants songs on Spotify. If anything, I need it more as they get older and their needs get more complicated. I am still, after all, a sensitive introvert, but now my household is even louder and more chaotic. I need time during the day to reset — quietly and alone," she writes. Read to find out how she did it.
