Parenting Tip – Separation Anxiety

We have found this great post over on Toddler Approved about Separation Anxiety for Toddlers.

Just because this is a totally normal stage for your toddler to go through it does not make it any easier, I remember as a mum how seeing my children cry because I was leaving them was the hardest thing in the world.  We walk away hoping for some much needed child free time, but spend the whole time worrying about how they are and are they still crying.

This article has some great tips to prepare your child for separation from you there Mum.

Now just need to find an article that gives us tips on how to cope as a Mum being separated from our small children, especially when they just look round, go bye mum and do not look back.

Parenting Tip – An End to Fussy Eating

Do your children eat what you eat?

Did they eat a traditional Christmas dinner with you, or did you have to make them something separate?

After a recent discussion with a friend at a great BBQ, yes our children ate exactly the same as we did, I was amazed to hear that she had been to a Christmas dinner and  her children were the only ones who ate the Christmas meal, the others all have something different, some may say more child friendly!  But are we making problems for ourselves in having to cook different food for adults and children.  Maybe I am old fashioned but my children have always eaten what has been put on the table and it has been the same as we have eaten.

Do you wish you could change your children’s eating habits?Do you have fussy eaters?Are you tired of cooking two separate meals?We have looked around and taken the best tips from the internet just for you:No. 1 Eat, Reign, Love

Repeat after us: You are in charge. You buy the groceries. You make meals. Still think you can’t stick to your guns when your tot gets food fussy? Start small:

NO SHORT-ORDER COOKING.

How will children get exposed to new foods if you keep cooking chicken nuggets for them? Scientific studies have shown again and again that children copy their parents’ eating behaviors. If you want your children to eat a wide range of wholesome foods, serve them what you’re eating (and make sure there’s a vegetable on your plate!). It’ll be less stressful for you (one dinner versus two), which, in turn, will boost your childs’ acceptance of the “adult” menu: Studies show that a positive mealtime atmosphere led to greater food consumption in children, while negative vibes did just the opposite.

Parenting Tip – Red Flags for Speech and Language Development

I have just come across this article thanks to Toddler Approved who have lots of interesting articles and activities for toddlers.

This particular article is so important for us mum’s as I know we all worry about our children’s development, are they doing things the same as your friends children, can they do this or that yet, why can she do but my child can not.

This article reinforces that if you are worried or have any concerns then ask a professional. There is nothing wrong in have assessments done on your child and make sure you have them done by the right specialist.
