    • This is another unfortunate lost episode re-recorded! Tada! We're hoping it's just as good as the lost episode!

  • We don't do a ton of children's health topic, but here's one just for you parents!

  • There's a ton of competing advice on parenting and it's hard to wade through it all.

  • The Louis CK clip is here from Chewed Up in 2008. "If you're skinny, I go to jail! Do you understand?!"

  • Sarah had two different kids requiring two different approaches. Parenting is like that: you need to come up with strategies to fit your own situation.

  • School starts pretty late for Stacy, meaning Cole will sometimes sleep until 8:30 while Sarah's school starts early, requiring earlier bedtimes.

  • The most important thing about parenting is trying hard to do right. Let go of your guilt!

  • You are a success as a parent if your children can afford their own therapy when they grow up." -Sarah's Mother-in-Law

  • Again: we are not health or mental health professionals and our advice is in no way professional advice.

  • We're just telling you our experiences and the experiences we have hear about.

Her attention and resilience to stress can vary, but this is like most kids. Her orthodontist and pediatrician have all commented on her large tonsils. We haven't reviewed the sleep study with the doctor yet, but I am concerned if they recommend a tonsillectomy for her. Her oxygen saturation was 92 at the lowest during the night, she does snore and if it could help her function, have more energy and focus than I am all for the surgery. However, I am worried about any repercussion to her thyroid because I have hashimotos and thyroid AI and dysfunction run in both my family and my husbands. I am careful about her diet and other exposures because of this and my next step will be to get her thyroid tested as well, but the pediatrician didn't see this as a potential issue because she is
