Psych! Also: Kobe Bryant’s podcast for kids, “momcations” and more.
| A roundup of new guidance and stories from NYT Parenting. |
Most children need time, not special interventions, to eventually stay dry overnight. If you have a toddler who made it through daytime potty training only to throw in the diaper at bedtime, don’t miss our new guide to dealing with bed-wetting at night. |
In the wake of Kobe Bryant’s death, we published Phoebe Lett’s ode to his podcast for kids “The Punies.” Jancee Dunn told us how to navigate a family emergency, and A. Rochaun Meadows-Fernandez wrote about the “adultification” she faced as a young black girl that she strives to protect her daughter from today. Our friends in the Travel section wrote about “momcations,” which are apparently a thing. And, Sarah DiGregorio wrote about how feeding became a struggle after her daughter was born 12 weeks early. “Suddenly, so many mothering clichés made sense to me. I wanted to feed her; I wanted my sense of control and competence back,” wrote Sarah, in a piece for us based on her new book “Early: An Intimate History of Premature Birth and What It Teaches Us About Being Human.” |

Momcations. It’s a Thing. |
“I don’t need a massage or fancy dinner. I just need no one touching me while I lay horizontal and binge on TV.” |
| Parenting can be a grind. Let’s celebrate the tiny victories. |
| My 15-month-old despises having to lie down for his diaper change, and changing him while he’s standing is tricky to say the least. I eventually repurposed a child’s floor piano as a changing pad, and now my baby loves squirming on the ground making music while I change his diaper!—Mudassir Ali, Chicago |
