They just must eat!


Yeah kids just must eat. Parents know that but do they (the kids)? Especially those really little ones like my under two year old. You see kids about this age really need food to grow and parents often worry themselves sick trying to get the food down their tiny throats. A great number of times its not that they don't want to eat its just that they want to play with the food first.What to do? the best bet is to allow them go ahead and be kids afterall they are just being their age! Your job is to ensure you create a clean eating environment so you only have cleanong up to worry about.

Eating With Preschoolers

Eating could and should be fun for preschoolers. A great amount of time and energy is spent convincing preschoolers to eat. Sometimes the problem is not really that they don't want to eat its that they want to make a mess of the food before they take it in. What should be done? Allow them be kids after all this is the probably the only time they'll get to be kids in a whole lifetime. Your job is to ensure that their hands are clean and the environment they are going to be eating in is clean that way you'll have only cleaning up to worry about.

Kids Rebel Again



Deciding how to handle kids rebellion could be difficult but how about avoiding it or reducing it to the barest minimum? Often times the reason why kids really rebel is because they think they know better and that parents are too busy in their adult lives to understand them. this could be true in most cases. Parents must put in extra effort irrespective of their busy schedule to show their kids that they are very interested in their lives, intrigued by their ideas and really just can't wait to hear what they've got to talk about.

Kids Rebel


Between what you want your kids to do and what they really end up doing or want to do is there always a clash? Could it be that you think to correct the errors you made in the past by trying to guide or sometimes enforce certain rules on them? Well, whatever be the reason i strongly hold the opinion that parents do have the responsibility to guide their kids. But how to guide them positively without adverse rebellion from the kids is really a delicate matter. First of all your personality and example as a parent is essential. if your kids love your personality you become a model of sorts to them then your job of guiding them becomes very easy. Let them see that in all you do they are what really matter, i don't mean drumming it into their ears all the time, i mean actually doing it and making it your second nature. That way they learn to really trust that your advice or counsel is all about them.
