Toddlers have a greater ability to acquire new skills and information than children who are 5, 6, or 7 years old. Research indicates that introducing reading, language, and math skills in the toddler years may make school success come more easily to your child for years to come. Breast milk has all the appropriate vitamins and minerals for babies. Best choice of milk for children after age 1 is ‘whole milk.’ It is recommended to switch to low-fat milk after age 2 or 3. Tips to consider if your child is a biter include providing teething rings, teething biscuits or cold washcloths for children who are teething and do not, under any circumstances, bite your child back. Place safety latches on all doors and cabinets, especially where cleaning products and medicines are located. Babies and young children won’t understand lengthy explanations. Present one idea to make your point. Kids raised with authoritarian discipline have tendencies toward anger and depression. For children, who don’t care for milk, add a few drops of food coloring and serve with straws. Instead of filling Easter baskets with chocolate or marshmallow candy fill them with fruits and cookies. You can bake natural cookies at home that taste yummy. You don’t even need a groundhog: any critter (or human) will do for the starring role. Simply have your star emerge from a hiding place, glance at the ground and scurry back. If there’s enough sunlight to cast a shadow, you’ll have six more weeks of winter; if the day is overcast, spring is heading your way fast. Remember that all relationships take work.

When kids do art to solicit positive comments from adults, sometimes they can’t wait to finish another picture. Your toddler loves listening to the sound of your voice. Engage her in a bedtime story to help her drift off to sleep. Parents everywhere bring out their babies’ winter coats or snowsuits to keep baby warm during travel. However, thick winter coats or snowsuits can compromise your child’s car seat safety. In order for a baby car seat or toddler booster seat to function properly, the straps need to remain tight against the child’s chest. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) offers vital records charts for where birth, death, marriage, or divorce occurred. When planning a play group it’s a good idea to have fewer children to keep keep things calmer.
