As we start getting ready to return to a new type of “norm” at school, it is smart to prepare your child for what things may be like. If you are anything like the school districts around Ohio, then you know that each district has its own plan in place. Some schools are going back as normal with the use of masks, some schools are on a hybrid of 1/2 remote learning and 1/2 attending the physical location, and some schools are solely remote learning.
Alright my mommas out there who have been dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic (Ahem…that is ALL of us)…Are you going stir crazy like myself? We have literally done every art activity I can fathom.
I am assuming there are MANY parents out there in the same boat so I wanted to share some recipes my three kiddos LOVE.
Now that our state has lifted some of the restrictions from the COVID-19 quarantine, I feel like we are able to get back out there and reintroduce life once again to our kids. Don’t get me wrong, we aren’t back in full swing by any means, but we are able to push past some of the barriers that have held us back since COVID-19 struck. Here are some things my family has done or is planning on doing this 2020 summer season.
Your two-year-old is being complimented by your neighbor and when they have given the compliment, your child sticks their tongue out at them. Or how about this one…Your three-year-old is at the dinner table and doesn’t like dinner so s/he throws their plate of food on the floor. If either of these sound remotely familiar, you are not alone and the light can be seen at the end of the tunnel if you just look for it.
The quarantine has got me in a different jive than I’m used to these days and getting creative is starting to wear thin in my household. Sometimes you just need a good ole educational app on your devices to keep the kiddos entertained.
Summer is in full swing in our household but we are still not enjoying all we could be due to the Coronavirus quarantine. The zoo, museum, parks, and pools all have restrictions (and most aren’t even open yet) which makes it impossible to enjoy as it is intended.
I have been at this mommy gig for eight years now and I have learned a thing or two when it comes to toddler temper tantrums and time outs. Each of my kids are different and require a different way of disciplining them based on their individual differences. With that being said, I have learned to take a cue when it comes to time out and when its appropriate to start it. Here sre some tips on when starting time out is a good idea with your littles…
they become…with a bit of direction from parents, siblings, family, friends and experiences. But what if you have a strong-willed child who seems to make things difficult when, let’s say, going places, hanging out with friends, following directions, etc.? Not only can frustrations run high, but if we don’t foster positive interactions with those “special” little ones, it can do harm to whom they are to become. It is so important to view each child as individual and best help them despite how difficult their actions or things may seem.
know for my household, my kiddos LOVE to have their food as a “grab and go” rather than sit, cut up the food, and slowly eat your meal. They want to eat their meal and get back to playing as soon as possible. Finger foods are great for this situation and I have MANY ideas to help you with this exact type of child.
