HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS STRESS-FREE FOR MY CHILDREN?
The Christmas season is about spending time with family and friends, exchanging gifts, eating good food, and having fun. But for many people and children, Christmas can be an experience of mixed bad emotions. Bad emotions unfortunately contribute to increased levels of stress during this period. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-attempts-to-survive-new-christmas-traditions/ As a parent, I started noticing that my children also behave differently around the Christmas season. They are less resistant to emotions and cry more often in trivial situations. For example, Patrick cried one Christmas because the gingerbread man was supposed to have green eyes, not blue. I will add that my children decorated the gingerbread and chose eye colours. All the silly situations where my kids were anxious and…

MOM’S TIPS FOR BETTER TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN – part 2
How to survive travel with children? I remember my wonderful family vacations, but most of all I remember the hard times during the whole trip with my children. In this post, I will focus on showing a few examples from three different modes of transport. I hope you avoid all my little trip trouble after reading it. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/moms-tips-for-better-traveling-with-children-part-3/ PLANE TRIP WITH CHILDREN The success of this trip depends largely on delayed flights. This of course I had to go through several times. When the son couldn’t walk yet and grabbed everything to move, they left us on the plane for 1 hour. It was very hot and he wants to walk from…

HOW THE PHRASE “HOME TIME” CAN KILL YOUR PATIENCE?
“I always thought I would be patient Mom, and then I watched my kids try it for the hundredth time throw sand from shoes.“ How many times can parents call their children home from the playground? It would be better to record this message and replay it over and over rather than lose your voice while calling them. I think I tried all the ways to leave the playground easier. Also, I copied the rules of other parents, and used the most tender or the most dangerous words, but leaving the park while my kid’s playing can be traumatic. I found a few tips that helped me calmly take the…

GIVE MEDICATION TO MY CHILDREN AND DON’T GO CRAZY – MOM’S GOOD ADVICE
“As a parent, my greatest fear is always the fear of my children.” My little ones went through various colds, fevers, stuffy noses, and coughs. Diaper rash, teething pain, sore throat, diarrhea, and vomiting. And with the beginning of the Nursery all the contagious viruses, such as chickenpox, rubella, whooping cough, etc., started too. And there was no chance that my child would not get infected. They say that it is better for a small age than for adulthood. But for me, seeing a child in pain, scratching, unable to sleep, and having a fever hurts more than I had smallpox myself. Every vaccine was unbearable for me. Firstly, the sight of a needle stuck in such…

I MANAGED TO MAKE POTTY TRAINING SATISFYING FOR MY CHILD
“LESS STRUGGLING PARENTS, MORE SATISFIED CHILDREN” Potty training – I’ll show you two examples of how this process went for my son. But first, in your mind, answer the following questions. That’s where I started. Do you remember the feeling that someone told you to do something, rushed you, or, worst of all, gave you orders? And how did you feel then? I felt a need to rebel, I gave up, I felt dissatisfied. Now consider that this is how your child feels when he starts potty training through commands, compulsory education, and unsatisfied training. I am writing this only because I know this way from my own experience. FIRST EXAMPLE…

THE TOOTH BRUSHING METHOD AS SEEN BY YOUR CHILDREN
“BLOOD, SWEAT, TOOTHPASTE AROUND – this is what usually morning looks like” Sometimes it seems to me that the later period of teething is easier to care for the baby’s teeth. I think about it this way because Patrick started teething very late when he was already 10 months old. Right after buying him a toothbrush, he started copying us. For my son was no problem with brushing his teeth, applying toothpaste, or rinsing his mouth. Of course, there were times when he was in a bad mood, and then the toothpaste didn’t suit him, and the colour of the toothbrush was no longer his favourite. Fortunately, after jointly purchasing toothpaste and a toothbrush…

MARVELOUS BATH TIME FOR MY CHILDREN
PART TWO – BATH TIME “LEAVE YOUR TROUBLES IN THE BUBBLES” Bath time. For most women a wonderful time, relaxing, with the scent of fragrant oils or candles. I’m a fanatic of such delight. I was always surprised who could have given up bathing in favor of a shower. And now I literally run into the shower, full of joy, because even when children come, that is 95% of the time, they don’t jump to me like they did when I was in the bathtub. The story will be about a bath, but not mine. Sad, but my own time for bathing does not exist when the children appeared. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/how-to-upset-your-own-child/ Let’s start the fun with describe my…

MY CHILDREN’S SLEEPING ROUTINE – IT’S A F**** JOKE
“YOU AND YOUR CHILD ARE READY TO LEARN NEW THINGS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING” I’m not among new parents and new moms anymore, but I try to write posts about parenting roles in a way that will make you laugh and give you a realistic representation of parental life. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/with-the-witchs-advice-my-coffee-never-tastes-the-same/ I add posts about hardships and emotions with newborns. I hope they will be an educational form for you. The main episodes come from my own sincere parenting experiences. I affirm there are no basic rules for new moms and newborns. Theoretically, it may be, but this method doesn’t exist in practice. As a new mother, I was addicted to…

A VOICE FROM THE HEART TO ALL PARENTS
I have kept this text in drafts for a long time. I returned to these entries many times, added new ones, and even more times the created uniquely sentences melted my heart. These are very simple notes, very honest, and probably most parents go through this. My text is filled with basic and sincere parenting experiences that we all know, but parents don’t talk about it out loud and don’t spread the word about it. When you are ready my dear parents, this post is especially for you. DEAR PARENTS, I know how difficult it is to stay calm, explain the same rules over and over again, and soothe children.…

DOROTHY – MY SPECIAL GIFT
“The struggle was part of my journey.” Dorothy means God’s gift. It is the name we chose for our daughter. You could say that making a baby is a minor matter, nothing difficult. 6 months of trial and boom, my brother’s wife is pregnant. All the women around at once, all pregnant too. And I had 4 years of trials and a wonderful time with my husband, and nothing. Also, I gave up most family events because their questions were killing me: “What about you, don’t you want a baby?” “Aren’t you trying?” “How old are you?” – This one is my the best. “Don’t you take a vacation? It…
