I live with a midnight jumper, stealth walker, don’t give a damn that you plead she return back. Will fetal style sleep with all your pillows when you don’t share your sleeping me cover. Then she gets all comfortable and goes wild drunk octopus 🐙 who lost they keys under MY sheet mode and don’t give a damn about my 40 year old spine and bones!!!

So no, my back ain’t trynna normalize any of this 🙄🥹😫😭🤣🤣

let’s normalize children who need that extra comfort at night.

the hand holders to go to sleep, the midnight jump into your bed, the children that have to sleep next to you.

you are doing nothing wrong. whether your child sleeps independently or not, is not a reflection of your parenting. 🤍

Which one of these risk factors jumps out at you?
⁠
One that parents seldom consider is their need to be perfect or their desire to be viewed as perfect.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Although we can't completely dissect how perfectionism leads to burnout in one caption, I think we can still ask some meaningful questions.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Here are a few you can start with 👇⁠
⁠⁠
1️⃣ Ask yourself what purpose your perfectionism serves (i.e., do I feel good when I’m acknowledged?)⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2️⃣ Ask yourself where/when/how this started and where it was learned (i.e., achieving good grades got me out of the hot seat in my stressful home life as a kid).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3️⃣ Ask yourself, “What would it mean if I weren’t perfect?” (How about someone you love?)
⁠⁠
4️⃣ Do you have the same expectations of yourself and of others?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
🌟TOMORROW I'm hosting a live workshop on Parental Burnout. This workshop is for you if you find yourself:

✔︎ Stuck in a cycle of negative thinking⁠
⁠
✔︎ Agitated by even the smallest things⁠
⁠
✔︎ Short tempered⁠
⁠
✔︎ Completely exhausted ⁠
⁠
✔︎ Unable to focus or think clearly⁠
⁠
✔︎ Yelling or snapping at your partner or kids more frequently⁠
⁠

To declare Your victory

Happy Doctors Day!

Did you know today is Betsey, Lucy and Anarcha Days??

I am at lost for words. I never knew of these women before today. Maybe it’s because I don’t practice OBGYN medicine….or it is more likely because there is so much systemic racism embedded into our healthcare system that what has always been taught to me, as evidence-based facts, throughout my medical career, purposefully omitted the horrific truths of how systems were built; science evolved and treatments ”discovered” all at the expense of Black and Indigenous lives.

Here is more information:

“Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey were
enslaved women from plantations
in and around Montgomery,
Alabama. With neither consent nor
anesthesia, they were experimented
upon by Dr. J. Marion Sims in the
1840s. After publishing the results
of his “success,” Sims moved to
New York to seek fame and fortune.
Within a decade, he became known
as the Father of Gynecology.

By contrast, Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey fell into history. They changed the world, only to beforgotten by it.

This 15-foot monument honors Anarcha,
Lucy, and Betsey, telling their story
and shining a light on ongoing racial
disparities in the healthcare industry
today. The monument stands as a
symbol of all of the enslaved women
who were experimented upon in the
quixotic pursuit of a modern “science” of
gynecology, by Sims and many others.”

February getting all her little extra days out this year… longest week evaaaa!

There is no “easy” way to navigate the tough conversations we have to have with our children, especially conversations about violence! On a day where we celebrated love, pride in our city, joy of being out of school to create lifelong memories with families and friends, then the unthinkable occurs and what was once blissful suddenly becomes freightened chaos.

My hope is that real action (at all levels), beyond “thoughts and prayers”, is immediately implemented so that my child doesn’t have to navigate these difficult conversations with her children years from now.

Thank-you to all of our first responders, brave KC citizens and colleagues at Children's Mercy Kansas City for your devoted service and resiliency during this tragic time.

Here’s an amazing article with tips on how we can support our children during these hard times.

With our guidance, kids can find a safe space to process tragic events. Children's Mercy experts provide tips for how to help.
