Consider using a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to light your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest. Enlist the whole family to help with the yard work. Rake up the leaves into a giant pile and jump in. As much as you treasure the quiet that comes with a Disney DVD, try to limit your child’s TV time to no more than two hours a day. Visit farms, go camping or take the kids hiking. While toddlers may not be able to enjoy the outing as much as an older kid would, it can still be a great learning experience if you prepare the trip in advance. Many foods and drinks have sugar added to them. For a sweet treat, pick foods that are naturally sweet, such as strawberries, honey and pineapple, rather than cakes or biscuits. Dust mites are one of the most common causes of allergies. These microscopic insects live all around us and feed on the millions of dead skin cells that fall off our bodies every day. Stock your shelves with goodies like boxes of various shapes, dress up clothes, puppets and kitchen items, to encourage make-believe skills. Serve as much fresh food as possible. When our babies are small we tend to stew apples, pears and other fruit, but when they no longer need to have mushy food, transition to fresh fruits. A Play-Doh playdate activity is perfect for children ages 2 and above. You can purchase play-doh of different colors and let their imaginations go wild. Childhood vaccines offer protection from a variety of serious or potentially fatal diseases. Know which vaccines your child needs now and which vaccines are coming up with the Mayo Clinic Vaccine schedule. Children thrive on structure, routine, and ritual. When their world has a consistent rhythm, they feel secure in the predictability. With fall here it’s the perfect time for a fall family activity; pick up a home kit from the grocery store for caramel apples! Prevent your toddler from filling up on excessive fluids before meals. Offering sips of water or milk to quench thirst is fine. Marshmallow Tinkertoys: A bag of marshmallows and some thin pretzel sticks are all you need to build the perfect puffy pal, a 3-D house, or tepee. Studies show that kids with active exposure to language have social and educational advantages over their peers — and reading is one of the best exposures to language. Dust, cats, peanuts, cockroaches all contribute to allergies. Up to 50 million Americans, including millions of kids, have some type of allergy. In fact, allergies account for the loss of an estimated 2 million schooldays per year. Children can choke on small things. If something is small enough to fit in a toilet paper tube, it is not safe for little children. There are a number of ways that you can replace fluids in your sick toddler. Water, juice, popsicles, broth and jell-O are all good choices. Kids make big leaps in vocabulary during in toddlerhood, and learn about letters, shapes, colors, weather, animals, seasons – all of which can be reinforced through books. A couple of tablespoons are usually plenty to serve, especially for new foods. Small plates and small portions are just right for small eyes and stomachs. |
