We still haven't sleep trained my son (who is now almost 18 months old) since cosleeping works for us. Some nights are harder than others, and I'm starting to realize I can expect more from him. I'm finally trying saying "it is bedtime, so you can stay awake, but you have to lie in bed." To get to this point, I've reminded myself that the nights when we want to quit are the same nights that would be hard even if he were sleep-trained

To reply to the prompt, the main challenge has been realizing I was RBN after raising my son. Dealing with processing everything, deciding to go NC with my Ndad, trying to set boundaries with my n?mom, all while trying to raise my son and working part time has been a lot. I haven't gotten as much work done on my PhD this year as I wanted as I've found myself having to use daycare time just to process everything.

What I haven't found hard? Actually being a caring responsive mother. It turns out seeing things from my son's point of view isn't really all that hard when you actually want to do so.

Also, I will write a book review once I finish reading it, but "How Toddlers Thrive" is pretty much the best parenting book ever as an ACON. It's full of examples of how to say things to your child (like validating their feelings), which are a bit painful to realize I never heard growing up. I feel like I'm both learning how to be a better mom, and re-parenting myself when I make the time to read it.

Daniel Tiger is GREAT. There is literally a little song for every situation imaginable. If you are familiar with Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, this is a cartoon spinoff of a character from that show. Little Daniel has to navigate through his feelings and the adults around him give him emotional tools to help out. You can either go to the Daniel Tiger website with PBS Kids and check out videos, or you can watch PBS Kids live here. Amazon Prime Video also has seasons 1 and 2 included with Prime. PBS Kids wiki has a page with a list of Daniel Tiger episodes, with a short summary on each one. Another great resource is the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Archive. It has information on both MRN and Daniel Tiger.

In addition to all these wonderful suggestions, I'd like to recommend a book.

Most libraries have a copy. I am not a big parenting book person, but this book has a lot of good suggestions in it.

It can help to get a therapist to consult with about parenting methods. It can help SO MUCH and a therapist can help you figure out which hard parts are normal and which parts may be manifesting due to your trauma. Find a therapist that specializes in moms and traumatized moms.

Also... once your kid is a little older, use this parenting method described in an amazing book about collaborative parenting. I came from a very punitive culture in redneck USA and, on top of that, I was raised by abusers with a lot of black and white thinking. My parenting has tended to be too controlling and did not listen enough to my children's concerns. This parenting method is AMAZING and teaches you how to work with your kid to find solutions vs. you just imposing your will on them without even understanding what their struggle is, etc. My therapist says this method is good starting at about age 4 or 5... so read it BEFORE your kid gets to that point. The collaborative method has been around a long time and there is a lot of data about it if you google it... it's not just some kooky book I picked up in a bargain bin.
