HOW TO LIVE WITH CHILDREN IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY?
BAD ADVICE AROUND How many times have I heard that my son is crying because he probably has colic, or that he doesn’t want to sleep in the stroller because I’m carrying him in a sling? God, how much of that advice was completely unnecessary, driving me to breakdowns and thoughts like, “Why am I a bad mother?” I always want to share with you, from my own experience, how bad I felt at the beginning of motherhood, because I know, that one of you – a new moms – will read this and feel better. I can’t avoid painful topics or write only about the miracle of motherhood. It…

NEW MOM AND BABY IN PUBLIC PLACES
YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOUR Let’s start this entry with the fact that every child is different and not every new mother was stressed like me. For me, going to a cafe or restaurant with Patrick was quite difficult. In the first 10 months with my newborn impossible. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/?s=patrick+sleeping And then, after 10 months and Patrick’s first steps, going to a cafe was always a struggle not to break the dishes, not to fall off the chair, not to knock anything off the table, not to eat the crayon, not to spill the salt, not to put your hand in the hot food, not to spill the coffee. EACH CHILD HAS A…

WHAT GREAT THINGS WILL HAPPEN IN 2026?
“When there is sunshine in my life, I have a wonderful everyday life” I just wrote in my first post of the new year about how difficult it is to plan anything with children. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/new-year-no-challenges-and-satisfaction-guaranteed/ And that’s exactly what happened to me. Posts were piling up, and a few were even created, but nothing was published. What was the main reason? Since 2026, my family and I have been affected by almost every possible version of the virus. Is your sick time also like this: Viruses all around And I must admit, the first such apocalypse wasn’t easy to survive, but we returned to the world of the living. We…

NEW YEAR! NO CHALLENGES AND SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
“As a parent, be prepared for situations when you ask your child: Why is he naked and he replies: I’m wearing socks”. Like last year, I don’t make any summaries or plans for next year. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/new-year-will-my-kids-and-i-achieve-our-goals-again/ With kids, it’s like a constant rollercoaster: you plan a vacation, but my kids, the day before, wake up with a fever, or any different bug hits them during the night. I’m happy with what each day, each moment brings. Things are going well for both my husband and me at work; we’ve managed to fit our hours around our children’s schedules. Sometimes we lack time for ourselves, and the entire week revolves around…

WELCOME TO THE PATIENT MOMS CLUB
“Mom is patient, even when she hears from her mini version every day that she is doing everything wrong”. I often think to myself: God, why do I have to repeat something to my children a hundred times or more? How many times have I told my children that it is nice to say hello to others? When will they finally learn the simple word: “thank you” every time they get something? I want to teach them some main rules, something that will help them in adult life, something that will show others they are good people. And how does this play out in practice? It depends on the day.…

HOW TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THE EMOTIONS OF OUR BABIES?
When I came across a video online about the origins and causes of children’s nervous breakdowns, the image of the child in the video stuck in my head for a week. SADNESS The film is short but incredibly moving. The first episode takes place at home, in the morning. From the very beginning, the boy is rushed to school by his parents. The most overused word they use is “quick.” This applies not only to situations where it might be used, such as “walk quickly, the car is waiting,” but also to any morning activity, such as eating quickly, drinking quickly, and dressing quickly. This film perfectly shows the emotions…

AID KIT FOR NEW MOMS
“You know you’re a mom because you have baby wipes in every bag, room, car, and under the stroller.” When the firstborn comes into the world, we have bags full of diapers, wipes, creams, etc. The little one lies there and pees and poops, and these are the priority accessories packed under the stroller. Our resources for older toddlers look different. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/from-one-year-with-my-children-to-another-few/ Today, I will provide a short list of what new mothers need for toddlers. When our kids start walking, let alone running and using all the devices that are faster than me: balance bike, scooter, bicycle, etc. For most advanced moms, this list may seem ridiculous because they…

WHY DO MOMS THINK THAT RUNNING ON PLAYGROUNDS IS FORBIDDEN?
Do you know the words overprotection, isolation, and oversensitivity? In this post, we will read a little about it. As a mother, I have a strange feeling lately that the number of parents who have their own ideal world with their child has increased. They try to spread the rules of this world to all the playgrounds around them.From a distance, you can see their overprotection and disgust for other children playing. What’s more, their toddler doesn’t let himself be isolated and most often escapes into crowds of other happy toddlers, but the parent does not see satisfaction in this, only disgust. Quickly takes the child to a safe and…

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,…

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…
