On this week's episode of Parent Tell, Kaila talks large age gaps between siblings with fellow podcaster Chelsea Myers. Chelsea is the creator and host of Quiet Connection, a podcast focused on Postpartum Mental Health, and her two children are just about 7 years apart. While sharing the general pros and cons of a large age gap between kiddos and the general history of siblings being very close in age, Chelsea and Kaila also talk about the power behind being connected to your body and how that connection can strengthen curing pregnancy and postpartum.

Give Quiet Connection a listen!

First Babysode of 2024 is in the books and we are starting off on a pretty passionate note this year! Kaila and Jimmy discuss Room Parents; those (hopefully) lovely parents who have volunteered their time, money, and energy to support their child's teacher and model building connections between school and home. Because that's what a room parent's job is, right? Let's discuss.

This month's Babysode is Holiday/Christmas themed as Jimmy and Kaila discuss the often polarizing Elf On The Shelf. After reading listener responses about why many parents refuse to allow this lil' elf into their homes in the month of December, Kaila and Jimmy round out their discussions by commenting on the importance of protecting your mental load during the holidays amidst a culture that is always shouting for "more, more more!".

This episode of Parent Tell is a refreshing take on "geriatric" pregnancy (still refusing to acknowledge that term over here in the Parent Tell Camp), being present in your life, and accepting everything for what it is even if it's not exactly in your control. Kaila had the opportunity to talk with Barb Higgins, host of the podcast A Thousand Tiny Steps and new author of the book, Motherland about her experience getting pregnant and giving birth in her upper 50s. The two toddler moms discuss the power behind keeping information close to the chest, how Barb deals with strangers' comments/looks when mistaken for her child's grandma, and why we really need to take a page out of Europe's book and have activities be free for children 5 and under.

On this episode of Parent Tell, Kaila talks with Dr. Kelsey Alford, founder of Nested Sleep, about how sleep needs and behaviors evolve as children exist in that often tricky space that is toddlerhood. The two moms discuss the frustrations surrounding wanting your child to just go.to.sleep! as well as the need to understand biological norms about sleep and ways to meet your kiddo where they are in an effort to make bedtime take less years off your life each night.
