Stalled potty training. Picky eating. When my kids were younger, more experienced parents frequently reminded me not to worry - that my kids wouldn't wear diapers forever. And some day they'd sleep until noon, and I'd miss those sweet mornings together. But the picky eating? It seems like that can last a lifetime, if you catastrophize like so many of us (raises hand!) tend to do. That's why I love today's piece, which provides some peace of mind and a good bit of information about why we shouldn't get tied up in knots if our kids don't eat all the foods all the time. Read on for some enlightening information.  Meanwhile, here's your reminder to join Meghan Leahy tomorrow for a live Q&A where she will answer your parenting questions. You can ask her anything and can submit questions now.  And finally, are you a dad or a father figure? Tell us what you want your charges to know about what it means to be a man for our Father's Day project. We have had some beautiful and thought-provoking responses already, and I can't wait to hear from others.  Good luck with this short week, all.  Why you shouldn't stress about your kid being a picky eater Perspective ●  By Anna Nordberg ●  Read more »   ADVERTISEMENT   How to talk to your kids about school shootings By Amy Joyce ●  Read more »   Parents trying to find baby formula are getting scammed By Amy Joyce ●  Read more »   Breastfeeding isn't 'free.'
