How much “should” your toddler be eating depends entirely on the toddler. Only your toddler knows how much they are hungry for! Some days they may eat as much as you, some days they seem to live on air. Think about what they eat over the course of the week, not the day.⁠

Instead of focusing on how much a toddler is eating, try to focus on whether you’re providing a protein food with meals and snacks. ⁠If you’re doing that and letting them eat as much as they want at those meals and snacks, they will likely get what they need.⁠

Middle schoolers experience all the same complicated, wonderful, confusing, and big emotions that adults do. It’s okay to feel all emotions, including feelings that are both pleasant and feelings that are uncomfortable. Emotions are important because they provide us with information about ourselves and our environment, and they help us to connect with one another. Learning how to notice, label, and express feelings helps middle schoolers to feel more in control of their emotional experience.

Encourage your middle schooler to watch this video about emotions. Even better — watch it with your middle schooler and discuss these key findings together:

1️⃣ Label and name feelings to increase emotional vocabulary AND reinforce that you can feel more than one emotion at a time.
2️⃣ Notice body sensations that are attached to different emotions and provide clues for what we are feeling. Sometimes it’s easier to notice physical symptoms first.
3️⃣ Rate the feeling of emotions on a scale of 1 to 10 to capture that we feel emotions in different amounts or intensities.

For many children, especially young kids, the death of a family pet may mean the loss of a lifelong friend. It may also be your child’s first personal encounter with death. Be open and honest about the incident if the death happens unexpectedly. If your pet is suffering from an illness that requires it to be euthanized, reassure your child that your vet has done everything she can but that your pet was too sick to ever recover. Avoid potentially vague and confusing phrases such as “put down.” Children told the pet has been “put to sleep” can develop a fear of going to sleep.
