Babywearing Resource Page
| February 16, 2012 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
I simply love babywearing. I own 3 Moby Wraps, a Maya Wrap, a Baby K’tan, a mei tai, a Snuggli, and a couple more tucked away in a closet somewhere. Babywearing let me keep Dylan close when he was a newborn no matter what I was doing. And now that he’s older, I can hold him as much as he wants while not killing my muscles and while still getting stuff done. I never leave the… Keep Reading

Mama, I’m Scared
| February 7, 2012 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
With a newborn, I can so peacefully drift in and out of the baby’s needs and routines that there’s never any room to be irritated or upset with the baby. Dylan is 8 months old, which means he’s still such a tiny little person. But every day he gets a little more independent, and every day I see him a little more as a separate person from me. As Dylan grows and starts to develop interests… Keep Reading
Parenting Philosophies – What Do You Do With the Ice Cream?
| January 23, 2012 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
Near the beginning of my childcare career, I read the book How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too by Sal Severe. As a newcomer to childhood development theory, it made comforting sense, seemingly outlining sensible ways to react to children’s misbehavior. These days I don’t look on this book so highly. It’s full of behavioral modifications and reactionary prescriptions. Your kid does this and then you do that. The book presents a view of… Keep Reading
Body Positivity and Healthy Sexuality Starts in Infancy

As he gets older, those two things will diverge into different, huge topics, but here in his infancy they are close to the same thing. A positive view of the body sets the stage… Keep Reading
