Welcome to parenting where mistakes are inevitable as your child is maturing and as you’re becoming an established parent. As a parent, it’s more satisfactory and basically easier to direct your energy on grabbing some lessons from the mistakes rather than pushing too hard to avoid them.
A child’s behavior and mood can easily be influenced by their diet, and even though sugar has been found to be the most frequent, mood-altering food isn’t limited to just sweets. The five following foods are some of the most common contributors to child behavior and mood:
Potty training for the first time can be very overwhelming, especially with the mess and the baby’s cries. It’s easy to look around and ask yourself why-why is this so challenging, why isn’t your child potty trained when all of their friends are. While these thoughts may cause stress in the beginning, as long as you are prepared from the start, there will be nothing to worry about.
Experts have noticed a growing trend of women parenting two toddlers under two years of age. It has emerged that over half of women at parenting centers plan pregnancies close together. This is actually a convenience because you can do potty training, diaper training, and sleep training all at once, and the children can play together. According to some parents, close sibling spacing reduces the time away from their career or paying for child care.
Kids can't absorb too many rules without turning off completely. Forget arguing about little stuff like fashion choices and occasional potty language. Focus on the things that really matter -- that means no hitting, rude talk, or lying.
Are you thinking to have a kid? You’re not sure if it’s better to wait and be more mature or to start having kids and be a young parent? A lot of researchers have conducted studies about it. They have studied the effect a parent’s age can have on the children he or she raises.
Parenting teenagers is not an easy task. As a mother or father, at times, you will find yourself at a loss of words in an attempt to explain something complicated or difficult to your teenagers, even when they are old enough to comprehend most topics. Your teenagers will go through different phases, they’ll mix into different crowds (some of which you like, and others that you don’t), and face a whole bunch of highs and lows.
Parents who are always on their teens' cases for Saturday-morning laziness may want to rethink their behavior. Unless your kid hits the sack before midnight, an 8 a.m. wakeup-call is too early, according to new research. Previous studies have shown that children who go to bed one hour earlier for five nights in a row are less irritable and have longer attention spans.
