Being a parent is truly different from anything you could have imagined or experienced. Sometimes you might want to pull your hair out and take up day drinking, while there are other days, you cannot stop laughing with your little one. At the end you are sure you would not trade this experience for anything. And every parent feels the same, you are not the only one out there.
There is quite a chance that all you can do is to look after your child and see how he learns. He is probably learning about everything in the world while you are only learning to look after him in his study process. It is a super exciting time for your family as you are about to grow a baby to an adult. This new buddy will surely shake everything up and you will need some extra information about how to raise a toddler, so here it is.
Every moment is worth cherishing
In the mornings, especially on weekends, you should try to have a cup of tea together in bed. The morning cuddles might be one of the best part of day. It is in that special moments of the morning where baby has just woken up and he is probably in his sweetest mood because he is exciting about everything he will experience new today. You can make your bond even stronger by sharing your cups, no matter they are exactly the same, it is different because it is in your hands. The fact is being a mother means not to have anything all to yourself. Just like adults, kids need all sorts of different play.
Looking at screen
All of us know technologies are taking over the world, but you should surely limit the time your little spends looking at screen. Yes, there is nothing wrong to allow your toddler to play a little with it while you are on a long road trip, but make sure, he will spend some time outside with his friends and of course, with his parents.
Power of touch
Children usually respond best to something that they can see and touch. Little ones have an amazing imagination tha runs wild when they are building or drawing something. You can see when your child is outside and he plays with the sand of simple flowers. These new things lights up his eyes. Show him something like tomatoes you planted in the backyard and show how important it is to you, so he will be in love with them too. Also, it is a great way to help him become more gentle and kind.
Let go
The truth about toddlers and all the children, sometimes you just have to at least show you do not care of them so much and let them do it themselves. It will probably be hard to realise that it is going to be a long time until you will be able to do anything alone again. Enjoy the time you spend together doing daily things like bathing, but be aware of the fact that someday you will have to do let him do it on his own. It might seem simple now, but when the time will come when you will need to let go, it will surely be very heartbreaking.
Sleeping
If is a fact the angry emptions that lack of sleep brings are tough. It is hard not only because you are tired and want to get rest, but also the fact that you little one needs rest too. It is probably every parents dream that their baby would be well rested and happy all the time. Sadly those rough nights are unavoidable.
Kindness of the children
You might be surprised when you will notice how truly sweet toddlers are. It should be no surprise when the little one will pick you a bunch of flowers or will bring you his favourite toy when you are sad. It might even teach you something or just simply remind you that the best things in life are free.
