I’m deathly allergic to nuts. Halloween has always been my least favorite holiday because of the torment it caused me as a kid. Do you know how infuriating it is to have to give your bully older brother over half your trick-or-treat candy because you can’t eat it? It’s pretty much devastating for a child — especially a chocolate addict like me. If your child has nut or other serious food allergies or sensitivities like I do, you probably know how disappointing it can be for them to feel left out of Halloween traditions, like collecting candy and eating all of the treats that other kids get to indulge in each holiday season....

Vacation days and kids don’t always mix — something that becomes painfully obvious when you’re busy planning the Thanksgiving feast of a lifetime at your home and your bored 5-year-old is climbing the walls and competing with the turkey for your attention. Instead of getting frustrated with our children’s lack of ability to entertain themselves for all of that time (because, let’s be honest, turkeys take forever to cook), there are ways to prevent frustration by actually putting them to work....

No room will ever feel cozier than when it’s filled with garland, twinkling lights and of course, a decorated tree.

A whole lot has happened in the past month, so maybe some of us already forgot the outrage and shock caused by YouTubers James and Myka Stauffer’s decision to “rehome” their adopted son Huxley. But for some reason Myka herself decided to make her name part of the news cycle again, posting a lengthy apology on Instagram for the “uproar” her actions caused. In it she blames herself for being “naive” about adopting a special needs child, but still defends herself from accusations that she did so for profit....

But then that would be ignoring the tragic chain of events that brought us, finally, to this place. It also would be ignoring the fact that many parents should have been teaching their babies these antiracist lessons all along — before the children of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks were left without a father. Kendi, whose 2019 book How to Be an Antiracist is also sitting at the top of the charts this week, was inspired by his 4-year-old daughter to write something for a much younger audience....

Myths about therapy and therapists abound in American culture. The therapeutic process is often shrouded in mystery, stigma and misconceptions, and there are things therapists really wish their clients knew. Stigmas about mental illness and what actually happens in a therapist’s office can undermine a person’s healing process — while also sometimes deterring people from getting the help they need. In addition, fears about therapy and therapists can confound even the most devoted therapy-goer: Relaxing into the process while building a trust-based connection with your counselor is key to getting the most out of your therapy sessions....

My third daughter was born with a pre-existing medical condition that precluded our establishing a conventional breastfeeding relationship. Honestly, I was devastated. After successfully breastfeeding my two older daughters, each for 18 months, I was determined to make breastfeeding an option for my youngest child as well — no matter how deep in the distant future that might be. Cora was hospitalized for the first two weeks of her life, after having undergone open-heart surgery when she was just two days old....
