Cranberry Date Bars
These easy, vegan bars are perfect for hiking or camping!


My wife and I are parents of four-year-old twin boys. We have read and appreciated Jesper Juul's book, "Your Competent Child," but are a bit nervous about some of the ideas he suggests. For example, we are toying with the idea of letting our children decide when to go to sleep (to an extent). But we'd like to access either some testimonials of people who've done this with four-year-olds (i.e., what happens when you allow four-year-olds to choose their own bedtimes?), or read some actual research on the topic. Any suggestions for resources? What are your opinions of this type of approach? Thank you very much for your time.

We have the most lovely baby boy! He's incredible! We snuggle with him in our bed, and he has slept there for the last few months. I nurse him down and nurse him about every two hours at night. If we don't sleep train him (and we DO have rituals, the bath, the story, etc.) -- will we have to sleep train him when he gets older? What will the future look like? i.e. Do older babies still need sleep training? He's 8 1/2 months old. I have no interest in letting him cry.
