Parenting Techniques
It seems that everyone is full of advice in regard to how we should raise our children. That task, however, falls to us as parents. It doesn't fall to distant relatives or our acquaintances. Never-the-less, it is sometimes helpful to have clear guidance as to how we should go about meeting certain steps of the larger overall task. This article will provide that guidance.
A tip for parents of teething babies is to offer some alternatives to the traditional frozen washcloth. Putting flavorful, cold vegetables in a mesh teething bag can be a great way to soothe a child's discomfort. The extra taste imparted by the food may help the baby chew longer, thus extending their relief.
If you have children in your home and you have a fireplace, make sure to get a fireplace or hearth gate. Thousands of children are injured each year from fireplace accidents. These injuries could have easily been prevented if the parent had taken safety precautions and gated off the fireplace.
Children live on a routine and it is easier for them to get through the day if they know what to expect. It is important to make sure to keep things the same for children. Happy surprises are often well received by children. However, things that are not enjoyable to them may make them feel ambushed and cause them to act out.
To make hair washing an easier process, pretend like your child is visiting a hair salon. Allow her to lay her head up to the sink and place a towel underneath her neck. Give your child a head massage while you are rinsing her hair. Engaging in imaginative play, will make this task fun for your child.
It is okay to go to the drive-thru if you are having a very hard day and it would make things more convenient for you, but do not make that a part of your regular routine. You should use this as a treat for the children, instead of feeding them these foods regularly, because this habit can lead to child obesity.
Use your smart phone as a baby monitor. If you are visiting someone's home or you are on vacation and do not have your monitor, you can download an application that will let your phone function as a monitor. If the baby makes a noise, your phone will call a number that you put into the application.
