The day after Easter is a good day to buy discounted Easter chocolate and candy for future baking projects. Just store the candy in the freezer if you don’t plan on using it in the near future. What child doesn’t love to blow bubbles? Grab a couple of bottles of bubbles for this year’s Easter basket For multicolored Easter eggs, buy both white and brown eggs for dyeing — you’ll have bright colors and natural looking colors with no extra work. Easter baskets don’t have to be full of chocolate and peeps. Add bubbles sidewalk chalk and playdoh. Children love to have their faces painted. Here’s an easy way to turn your little one into Peter Cottontail’s helper: Draw an upside-down triangle on the child’s nose with the brush from brown or black liquid eyeliner. Fill in completely. Rub a circle of rouge on each cheek. Paint three whiskers with the eyeliner on each side of the face, starting from the nose and extending across the cheek. When making Easter eggs, rubber bands around the eggs make nice stripes. On plain eggs for a white & colored egg; or dye once, rubber band, and then dye again for the stripes. Everyone should wash their hands in hot, soapy water before and after handling eggs (even if they’ve already been cooked or decorated)! This protects everyone from any bacteria on the egg, and protects the eggshell from any oils on hands that may make the dye not adhere. Sometimes it will be easy to recognize the cause of allergies in a toddler. If one or both parents suffers from allergies, there’s a good chance that the child suffers from similar allergies. Try to make bath time really fun to distract her. Bring lots of colorful toys to the tub or sink, or try blowing bubbles. Asking questions is an important part of your toddler’s learning development, so do encourage your child to have an inquiring mind from an early age. Make sure your displays of affection for your child outnumber any consequences or punishments. Hugs, kisses and good-natured roughhousing reassure your child of your love. To get a nice, straight cut each time, invest in a pair of hair-cutting scissors, and use them only for this purpose. Using household scissors – which are usually inconsistently dulled due to multiple uses – will tear hair and create uneven cuts. March 20th is the first day of spring, celebrate with your toddler by balancing an egg and explain the start of the season. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization has added a yearly dose of H1N1 flu vaccine to the schedule for children 6 months and older. Toddler’s have one-third the jaw strength of an adult. Softer meats are good alternatives, such as fish, hamburger and high quality lunchmeats. Some hyperactive autistic children who fidget all the time will often be calmer if they are given a padded weighted vest to wear. Pressure from the garment helps to calm the nervous system. As soon as a child has established a biological rhythm of waking and sleeping – usually by 3 months of age – parents and caregivers can start encouraging a naptime pattern. At bath time, a pair of goggles in the bath can be their first introduction to swimming with their face in the water. They are great for practicing bubble blowing. Breastfeeding a toddler is not the same as breastfeeding a newborn. Toddlers are masters of the art of breastfeeding, and may take as much milk in 2 minutes as they did in an hour a year before. If your child is biting intervene the second he bites. Name the behavior so he learns the term: “That’s biting” quickly remove him from the situation. |
