Really- this post is all about realizing that what is abnormal behaviour for an adult is not abnormal behaviour for a toddler. I know we all think our toddlers have OCD, but 99% of them don’t- they’re just being toddlers.

ControverSunday: To protect or not to protect

ControverSunday: Extended Breastfeeding

ControverSunday: Burden of Baby Milestones
We, as a culture, are obsessed with all the little milestones our babies go through. First steps, first words, sleeping through the night, ect. ect. And we compare all the kids we know to our kid, worrying that our kid is behind or bragging that they are ahead. And that, is what this ControverSunday post is all about!!

There is a lot of talk now about following your instincts as a parent. I agree with the advice. But when it comes to our instincts, if we followed them, would we all make the same choices?

Ah, blame the parent- a concept that comes up and up again in our society. In this post, I look at the question of a parents impact on a child’s behaviour and if ‘bad kids can happen to good parents.’

I will admit it. I like to give advice. I like to help people and be supportive when I can. But this post isn’t your typical first parent advice– you will see what I mean!
