Learning how to be present and calm during this new stage of life has had some major ups and downs. Someone told me lower the bar until it’s a tripping hazard and thats what I have been doing. The house doesn’t need to be perfect, everyday doesn’t need a plan, the kids are happy, healthy, and loved

A green play table with sand and toys, overlaid with text explaining that a child's brain processes information slower, requiring more time to hear, process, consider, and provide a response.
30 Second Rule for Toddler Parents
I can’t remember where I read this, but it made so much sense to me when I did. I started trying it out and realized 2 things: 1. 30 seconds can feel like forever! 2. My child almost always responded when I slowed down and gave her more time. Something to keep in mind: Another thing I noticed

A sepia-toned portrait of a young girl with her hair in two long braids, looking directly at the camera. She is wearing a collared shirt, reflecting the description of Elli Friedmann as a young girl with braids.
In May 1944, thirteen-year-old Elli Friedmann arrived at Auschwitz with her family after being deported from Hungary. She still had the long blond braids her mother used to carefully tend. On the ramp, everything was noise and terror—guards shouting, dogs snapping, families clinging to each other.

Replying to @Midnight Sun Mystic I’ve been thinking about this and I think that one dude in the mall summed up my take the best… At first I agreed with some who suggested malicious intent. And it’s hard to not feel that way…but I’d rather assume incompetence over malice.
