If you are expecting a little one soon, resist the temptation to spend all of your money on baby products. Quality essentials like cribs and changing tables, are available quite cheaply at department stores, discount stores, and even venues like eBay or Craigslist. You could also ask family or friends if they have any nursery products that they are not using.
You can have your child lay face up on the counter with their head over the sink and a towel under their neck and let them have a small towel for their face and eyes. This can make hair washing fun and reduce the fear of getting water in his eyes or poured over him.
Parents must be careful not to apply too much pressure when children reach their teenage years and get ready to pick a college. It can sometimes have the opposite effect if teens are coerced into making decisions that they do not desire.
Preschoolers often do not handle transition easily. Switching from one activity to another can cause a child a great deal of duress and can result in temper tantrums.
If you are marrying someone who has dependent children, know that the stepchildren probably won’t warm up to you right away. A lot of children feel resentment after a divorce. You and your stepchild will get to know how to coexist if you go steady and slow, not expecting overnight results.
Any child who walks to classes each day ought to have reflective fabric on their clothes or book bags. Retro-reflective Velcro strips are also available. Velcro is convenient to attach and can be easily removed or put onto a different piece of clothing. This helps crossing guards and drivers see your kids better, especially when it’s early in the morning.
