General Parenting:
Establishing
a Bedtime Routine for Your Toddler
Toddlers
certainly have their own ideas about what they want or don’t
want. Unfortunately, going to bed falls into the “don’t
want” category. Getting a cranky toddler to go to bed
is no walk in the park.
“MINE!” – Coping
With Toddler Won’t Share Syndrome
If
you’re the parent of a toddler I’m sure at some
point you have experienced the above named syndrome, and if
you haven’t beware… It’s bound to crop
up in the not too distant future.
Avoiding
Toddler Tantrums
The
terrible twos… Even the most dignified parent has been
left red-faced and wanting to be swallowed into the ground
while their toddler is having a public meltdown.
Avoiding
The Morning Rush
It’s
stressful isn’t it? Having to get all those things ready,
trying not to forget anything, not to mention bickering kids,
tantrums about what to wear or the sleepy head who doesn’t
want to wake up. No, the morning rush isn’t any fun but
luckily there are a few things you can do to bring peace back
into your family’s morning routine.
Protecting
Your Children Even When You Aren't There
Protecting
my four children from unnecessary dangers has always been my
top priority as a mother. Whether it was falling from a bike
or stove burn, I am always quick to jump to prevent these accidents.
Losing
Baby Teeth
Never have I seen a child so excited to lose a tooth
as my second born son. It was one of the biggest signs of becoming
a big kid to date, and coincided with his learning how to whistle
and finishing his first chapter book in the same weekend. Finally!
He was a big boy! Now he wouldn’t be the only one in class
who hadn’t lost a tooth.
Travel
Tips for Families on the Go
I
can honestly say that some of my fondest childhood memories include
our cross country car trips. Not only did we cover the state of
Ohio from South to North every Thanksgiving and August Hayden family
reunion for as long as I can remember, but when I was 10, we took
our first of many trips to Long Boat Key, Florida, a mere 22 hours
and counting from our home in Cincinnati and later in Lincoln,
Nebraska. Can you say road trip?
Tickle
Turdle Sling Review
The Tickle Turdle Knit Sling
is one of the simplest babywearing tools around. It’s
a simple knit tube that is worn across the body like a sash.
There are several positions to wear your baby, depending
on his size and your preferences. "Finally a sling as
comfortable as your favorite sweater!"
Birth
Stones
As a new
parent, or an old pro, there’s something wonderful about
the allure of a birthstone. What does it mean? What can we find
with our birthstone on it? Even children love to learn about
their birthstones and receive special gifts.
