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 OUTFITS?
Every parent has gone through several stages with their children.First:When you try to dress a newborn without breaking anything.Second:When the baby is already moving like an octopus and changing only a diaper is impossible.Third:I do everything myself, meaning I choose my own clothes and dress myself.I’ll write a bit more about that. 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.…

IS THERE A SMOOTH WAY TO GET KIDS OUT OF THE HOUSE?
“If one morning with the kids didn’t work out, don’t worry, there are still many trials and mental breakdowns ahead.” I recently heard from a friend that she was telling her daughter to hurry up and leave Nursery, because Lilly’s other daughter had an art workshop in 10 minutes. And when she refused to put on her shoes for the fifth time, my friend gave up and Anna went outside without them. As a mother of two young children (ages 4 and 7), I experience this type of trauma very often. I’d be happier if the parents around me didn’t hide their true, everyday experiences with their children. And if…

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…

MY LITTLE ONES KNOW ME INCREDIBLY WELL
“My children don’t remember what they ate for dinner, but they remember who I am” Do you know that you mean everything to your children? I’m a hero, a designer, a doctor, a teacher, a psychologist, a dentist, a chef, an artist, and everything else kids expect me to be at any given time. Mom can be a fairy because kids want to play in a magical forest. You can be a princess because they built a castle. In their store, you’re always a customer. I’m never a cashier because my son said: “Mom, you don’t know how to use a cash register.” How could he even know that? Lately,…

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 over the weekend was amazing and…

FROM YEAR ONE TO FEW MORE WITH MY CHILDREN
“Raising a child brings new challenges every year” There was a little precious there – Patrick and an even smaller precious – Dorothy. When they were born, the whole house turned upside down. My whole life turned upside down when they started teasing, arguing, and making fun of each other. My priorities, diet, and sense of free time have changed. And these were the beginnings, shocking and explosive. Beginnings that are not written or talked about, you have to get used to it and set your own rules so as not to go crazy.And what has changed after a few years, when the children are older? Little Patrick is already…

THE CHARMS OF MY CHILDHOOD
“Childhood is a short season to be enjoyed not rushed.” Eat ice cream with my dog. Try a green strawberry or gooseberry. Eat cherries with pits. If you don’t eat cherries with pits, shoot them at your friends. Play in the mud, in the water, in the tall grass all day long. Play rubber, play class. Peekaboo outside in the evening. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/mountains-legend/ Make a soup of mud, sand, flowers, leaves and grass. Eat sorrel, chives, radishes, parsley, or anything from grandma’s garden. Eating fruit from the neighbor’s garden. Drink milk straight from the cow. Eat carrots washed in the river. Throw the stick at the tower of empty cans. Throw…

LITTLE HELP FROM LITTLE HANDS
“Children’s good habits will help them in the future.” During my second pregnancy, which was dominated by the feeling of constant fatigue, dizziness, and daily vomiting, I decided to ask my three-year-old son for help with everyday duties. What surprised me at first was that he didn’t make any objections, and even enjoyed it. What he liked the most was vacuuming, he could do that for hours. His second favourite duty was taking out the laundry and hanging it up too. My son had his own little drying rack where he hung his socks and underwear. It helped me a lot because I often get dizzy and vomit when I…
