The second year of your child's life is an exciting time for exploration and discovery. Try this reflection activity with your little one during diaper changes.

Activity: Mirror, Mirror (12 months - 2 years)

Use: Diaper Change

Description: During changing time, see if there's something safe and mirror-like to give your child. Point to their nose in the mirror and say, "There's your nose. Can you find your mouth? Your eyes?" Have a conversation about what they're finding.

Brainy Background: Even the most routine tasks, like diaper changing, provide opportunities for your child to explore and learn about the world. Finding parts of their face in the mirror and naming them builds concepts and vocabulary, and it's fun too!

Actividad: Espejito espejito (12 meses - 2 años)

Uso: Cambio de pañal

Descripción: Durante el momento del cambio de pañales, observa si hay algo seguro y similar a un espejo que puedas darle a tu niño. Apunta a su nariz en el espejo y dile, "Esta es tu nariz. ¿Puedes encontrar tu boca? ¿Y tus ojos?" Ten una conversación sobre lo que tu niño está descubriendo.

Fondo Inteligente: Hasta las tareas más cotidianas, como el cambio de pañales, ofrecen oportunidades para que tu niño explore y aprenda sobre el mundo. Al buscar las partes de su cara en el espejo y nombrarlas, tu niño desarrolla conceptos y vocabulario, ¡y también es divertido!

Breastfeeding Aversion Response (BAR) is a feeling of aversion that occurs during the entire duration that the child is latched (translation: mothers report that breastfeeding is exhausting or sickening, or that they feel “touched out,” angry, anxious, violated, guilty, or disconnected). This feeling is different from Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER), which involves sudden, intense negative emotions during the milk letdown. For D-MER, negative feelings only occur during letdown and the Breastfeeding Aversion Response occurs during the entire breastfeeding session.

A recent study reported the results of a survey of over 5,000 women in Australia and found that one in five women reported Breastfeeding Aversion Response. Most women (96%) who experienced breastfeeding aversion also reported challenges with breastfeeding. Yet, 82.5% of women who experience Breastfeeding Aversion Response indicated that their overall breastfeeding experience was positive (rating it as “good” or “very good”).

Kids want to be on social media. They feel significant social pressure, especially when “everyone else” seems to have access. But the benefits don’t outweigh the risks. Not by a long shot. This is the digital mom's best advice on how and why to say no.

👉 5 MAIN MESSAGES 👉

✅ Not giving you social media is not a punishment, it's a safety decision. And, it's one I’ve spent a lot of time researching and thinking about.

✅ Not giving you social media isn’t because I don’t trust you—it's the virtual world and the strangers in it that I don’t trust.

✅ The dangers of social media are real. You may not be able to fathom the dangers or think they won’t happen to you but they really do happen to kids just like you.

✅ Social media was created for adults. The parental controls offered do not make it safe enough for teens.

I love you. Please remember that.

TALKING POINTS

Social Media Parental Controls were added well after these apps launched—largely in response to complaints and pressure, not because a teen use case was intentionally designed.

Here are some examples of where the Parental Controls fall short

YouTube has addictive & problematic content. Specifically, YouTube Shorts is built like the scrolling content feeds in TikTok or Instagram but there are no YouTube Shorts specific parental controls. The content controls are observably less consistent on Shorts than on regular YouTube.

TikTok has addictive & problematic content and data and privacy issues. While it does actually have fairly strict parental controls, TikTok is observably the most addictive. TikTok is also currently being sued by the DOJ for child data privacy concerns.

Instagram has addictive & problematic content AND unsafe private messaging. Instagram controls can’t definitively block strangers from reaching you. I cannot monitor messages.

Delay! Delay! Delay! No smartphones until the end of 8th grade and no social media until 16!
