By Nicole Taylor I have a 3.5 year old son. His name is Garvey Crown. (You can see his room here!) When I was writing my new cookbook, Watermelon and Red Birds, one of my hopes for the book was that twenty years from now it would be a guide for my son on how to host, entertain, and honor his ancestors. I also hope it'll be a tool for him to understand American history. In the meantime, he's young, and so the cookbook is not for him right now. (Although he does show up within its pages, particularly next to recipes for a few of his favorite foods!) Here are 5 other things I'm doing with him now to help him understand and celebrate Juneteenth. |

| My daughter is in sixth grade. School starts early but she has trouble falling asleep at night, so she's exhausted everyday. Any recommendations? –Lucy |

| Dear Lucy, I have insomnia myself so I've wrestled with this for years. As a kid I used to lay awake in bed and listen to my clock radio for hours before falling asleep. One thing that worked really well was when my brother and I were both sleeping in our mother's bed (she used to get annoyed at how much we moved around) and she said one night, "The first one to fall asleep gets a Milky Way bar." Which was our favorite. We were both asleep in minutes, but no one could prove which of us won the Milky Way. I don't recommend this as a strategy in general. :)
While problems falling asleep can come from stress and anxiety, I'm not going to try to address those here. Also, if you have a really young toddler, this article by Lizzie Goodman is for you. I'm only going to share what has helped me and my daughter over the years and is purely physical…
