This Too Shall Pass: Hope in the Trenches of Sleep & Potty Training #055 Growing Up With Kids :: A Funny Parenting Podcast
-
- Parenting
There are many stages of parenthood that feel like they will never end, especially when our children are young. Two examples: sleep training and potty training.
This episode we talk about how to take a long view, to not be discouraged, and we remind each other that every child is different. Don't be dismayed if your child takes longer to sleep through the night than your friend's infant. (Did you know more than a fourth of babies are not sleeping 6 hours straight when they are 12 months old? It is common to struggle with sleep training). And, don't be surprised when your kids have very different timelines for these types of milestones: sleeping through the night, potty training, riding a bike without training wheels, etc.
The Stat of the Week comes from Harvard Medical School. We aren't familiar with it, but apparently it is a decent university.
We also talk about a few other random things:
David's new favorite play that is also a movie, free on YouTube with poorly-timed commercials.Bad TJ Maxx commercials.And our recent episode about avoiding the comparison trap with other parents.
As always, thank you for listening! We hope you enjoy this episode, and if you do please take a moment to share the podcast with a friend who might be encouraged by this conversation or who just needs a good laugh at our expense.
