Four top concerns from parents of young children #1 and #2
Do you ever look at your beautiful angel and wish s/he came with an instruction booklet? In an age where many of us live away from our extended families and where more experienced advice is far away on a day to day basis, we may find the following helpful...
#1
S/he is busy playing, why do I have to say bye when I leave?
Your little one needs to know that you can be relied upon always and that you mean what you say. One of the ways s/he will learn this is when you say bye-bye. it may take a few tries and even, as difficult as it may seem, some tears, but what s/he learns is that you will always come back. It is wise to remind him/her that you promised to be back and you kept your word. Over time s/he will be content to keep busy when you are away.
#2
How do i get him/her to try new foods?
Food is a touchy subject with young children. Most are too busy to eat, and also may have sore mouths as they teeth. Food is not a priority to young ones. They would rather consume what is familiar and get on with it. Best to start with the tiniest quantity, half a teaspoon sounds about right. Start by placing just that one a small plate before the meal, when your child is hungry.
Prepare an identical portion for yourself, in the same vessel. Make a big show of trying it together and how special it really is. Encourage just a taste, even if it means just touching the substance to the lips. Try this over and over untill a comfort level is reached. It takes a while for his/her palate to adjust.
Woow very helpful article😍
