Every time I know a mother partner, I feel that I have hit the gold, since I know that for 20 minutes of conversation, they will probably end up dropping a legitimate useful breeding hack. In that note, I asked some parents their proven and true advice, and this is what they said …
Something I have learned myself:
1. Always keep small garbage bags by hand, in your car, in the stroller, in your bag. Diaper bursts occur when you least expect it, and having a bag to throw it when there are no garbage cans available reduce stress levels by 1000%.
From Angela:
2. When our children are in the ear, my husband and I will let them listen to talk about them in good sense. I will call something like ‘Did you notice how Alia tried to put on the shoes this morning?’ Or ‘Did you notice what Talula created a work of art today?’ Children love to listen to you show off them!
From Miranda:
3. The literature is ideal for young children, of course, how to prepare a preschool for a new baby with enlightened books, but there are also wonderful chapter books out there. If your nine -year -old son is fighting with a diagnosis of dyslexia (fish in a tree), or his 10 -year -old son has a chronic disease (not a ghost), or his 12 -year -old son is crying a family member (Show me a sign), books can open conversations about difficult things and help your child feel less alone.
4. My partner and I said ‘thanks’ to each other for preparing dinner, and now our children do it too. It makes a long way to make me feel warm and confusing, and it also helps them understand the care and work that is dedicated to putting food on the table every night.
Destini:
5. As parents, we try to keep calm, but it is not necessary to be perfectly regulated when sponsored. Narrating your emotions out loud, such as saying: ‘I feel frustrated, so I’m breathing deeply before speaking’, help your child learn what to do with great feelings. Children can see how real life regulation works and realize that emotions are not scary or something to suppress; They are only signs to reduce speed and make a decision.
MO:
6. Give your child a responsibility to help the whole family. If they are older, that could be running to the corner store to get an ice cream pint for dessert. For the youngest, that could be watering the garden. Every time I do this with my children, they crush it and remember me how capable they are. It is also important that children feel they are contributing to the success of the whole family.
7. If you have a bigger family, keep things as simple as possible. Our four children have assigned seats on the table, so there are no disputes about who feels, and the fairy of the tooth leaves $ 1 for each tooth (although I really wanted to add flashes and a note!).
Of laurel:
8. My children (four and six) and I discovered the Podcast Magic Woods last year, and is beautiful, fun and strange. There is a trillion of episodes, all with the same characters, which tell a super long story. The creator’s voice is relaxing, and he makes different voices for all animals.
From Youngna:
9. I recently took my nine -year -old son to a store to find an attire for a recital. Between the hands and the Covid, I had never been buying clothes in person, so trying clothes in a dressing room felt exciting. He reminded me that everything can be novel for a child; It doesn’t have to be a great adventure.
Ruth:
10. When I feel that I have been spending an eternity with my son and I am counting the minutes until his nap time to be able to wash my clothes/finish email/go to urinate, I physically put on his level and look at it. I look at his eyelashes while looking for a banana car on the page of a book. I see his mouth make funny shapes while realizing how to get a sticker from a table. I see his fingers of the feet and the foul while looking for something. Or I will realize how much your nose is like mine. Being in those moments helps me to remember that, of course, there is much to do, and this is just another day of thousands, but seeing my son interact with the world (and I!) In all these forms it is a quite incredible thing is .
Thank you very much, parents. What would you add?
