IS IT EASIER WITH CHILDREN OVER 3 YEARS OLD?
“When you hear all day that everyone is doing something better than you, and in the evening you’re the one they call to give them a goodnight kiss.” Last weekend, I thought: Is life easier for parents with children over 3 years old? There will be as many answers as there are parents. From my perspective, as a mother of two children (my daughter is 5, and my son is 8), I can honestly say that this stage of childhood is not as difficult for me as it was when my children were less than 3 years old. Of course, there are other situations, ideas, and problems of older children,…

SPECIAL BIRTHDAY DEDICATION FOR MY TWO CHILDREN
“THE OLDER YOU GET, THE BETTER YOU GET – unless you are a chocolate cookie. MY DEAR CHIPMUNKS , You – Dorothy turn 5 today and You – Patrick born just one day after your sister. I blinked once, and you are already 8 years old. You are such little beings, and so much has already happened in your lives. Dora – you have already marked yourself with two small scars. In the first year of life, the first scar appeared, and a few weeks ago, the second one, barely visible. While you and your brother were jumping on the bed, you fell and hurt your chin. There was more…

NEW YEAR! WILL MY KIDS AND I ACHIEVE OUR GOALS AGAIN?
How do you feel in the New Year? Are there any resolutions, prohibitions, or goals? Do you want to change anything from the old year? Did everything go smoothly and will we carry over the same goals to the New Year? New Year in the Life of Parents From a parent’s perspective, sometimes it was uphill, sometimes downhill. There were waves of successes, but also waves of parenting failures. Of course, parents most often think about their children, not about themselves. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/a-voice-from-the-heart-to-all-parents/ Throughout the last year, I have wondered what I am doing right and, more often, what I am doing wrong. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/ordinary-mornings-by-boss-baby/ With children every day brings surprises. As…

HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR FOOD CHOICES?
“I’ll eat you under the table!” – I whisper to my chocolate bar,hidden from the children. YOU ARE NOT A PARENT YET All types of meals are allowed, all delicacies that make you happy. My private, lovely idea is to combine unhealthy food with spicy dip and olives to make my evening unforgettable. I was delighted that I could happily eat in peace and quiet. No one chokes, splits, no one plays with food. No one argues that this is not what they want.There are no dramas because I cut the sausage into small pieces, but today, my child wanted the whole thing. Last week my son loved peas and…

WHAT PARENTS KNOW ABOUT KIDS FANCY OUTFIT?
Why not wear two different socks, shoes, or gloves? My older son used to dress like this a lot, but it quickly went out of fashion. However, our daughter surpassed him in terms of outfit choices. The basics of clothing – it’s best to take everything from the older brother. A Superman costume can be for any day. It’s a pity that cycling gloves and Crocs suit her best all year round. I have very happy mornings when in the evening my daughter is preparing clothes for tomorrow. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/the-specialist-in-childrens-morning-dramas-wanted-immediately/ What clothes will she choose? It doesn’t really matter, what matters is that she finished with a morning drama.If we were…

IS THERE A SMOOTH WAY TO GET KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE?
I recently heard from my friend that she rushed her daughter to leave preschool because Lilly was having painting courses in 10m minutes. And when the fifth time she refused to wear her shoes, my friend gave up, and Lily went outside without. As a mother of two small children (4 and 7 years old), I experience this type of trauma very often. I would be happier if the parents around me didn’t hide their real, everyday experiences with their children. Advice for parents contained in the books did not differ from the realities of parenting. In real life, every morning looks like this: EXIT TIME – before having children…

HOW TO SENSIBLY LIMIT SWEET IN THE CHILDREN’S MENU?
“Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments that you wish would last forever.” DYLAN LAUREN SWEETS For me, a childhood without sugar must be terribly sad. I understand moderation, healthy eating, a balanced diet, and an active lifestyle. I understand allergies and health restrictions. But I don’t understand the anti-sweet regime. When Patrick started going to the Nursery, he was 10 months old. Parents can already choose from 3 different menus for children: menu no 1 – meat, menu no 2 – vegetarian, menu no 3 – vegan. Great choice and a great idea. Because now, in fact, due to children’s allergies or parents’ food preferences, the child has…

MOM’S TIPS FOR BETTER TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN – part 3
“Travel with two kids is always necessities, but not always luxuries.“ I try to help my children on long journeys as much as I can. We gave up traveling by bus or car in favor of the train. The main reason – Dorothy, does not tolerate traveling by any other means of transport, only by train she is able to survive for several hours without vomiting. Our last trip to visit grandparents from the Czech Republic to Poland went perfectly. First, our coupe was full of preschool children. Which meant that such a group of kids would definitely not stay calm for long. They played, sang, changed places, and there…

WHEN YOU SEE HOW YOUR CHILD IMITATING YOU AND YOU START TO GET SCARED
“My children don’t remember what they eat for lunch but they remember what you are” Do you know that you mean everything to your children? You are a hero, a designer, a doctor, a teacher, a psychologist, a dentist, a chef, and everything and whoever the kids want from you right now. Mom may be a fairy because the children want to play in the magical forest. You can be a princess because they built a castle. In their store, you are always a customer. I’m never a customer because my son said: “Mom, you don’t know how to use the cash register.” Lately, I’ve been a guest in a…

ANY NEWS FROM LIFE WITH TWO CHILDREN?
“Children are like ice cream. They’re messy, melty, brain-freezing, but you can’t get enough of them.” DINNER Dinners are still not good. Throughout the year, I once heard from the children that I had finally managed to make a good dish, it was pasta in mushroom sauce. This year I didn’t make this dish for the first time, but I think my son was in a good mood and that’s why I accepted the praise. Generally speaking, for my children, the best dish is the pasta itself – without the sauce, which they usually call “awful slime”. The tomato soup they ate at grandma’s on the weekend was ok. I…
