WHEN PARENTS KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
“Children are as independent as you expect them to be.” – Maria Montessori – Do you really want to take away your children’s independence? Why do you put your needs equal to your child’s? Not allow your children to develop according to their own choices? I could ask a few more questions here, but I’m going to describe a situation. A few days ago I participated in an action called: “Joint Creation by the Christmas Tree for Children 3-5”. This is not the first time I have seen rivalry between parents, which influences children’s behavior in such situations. I suspect that the teachers have long known how such joint creation…

WHAT ARE THE BEST MY CHILDREN INHERITED FROM THEIR PARENTS?
Of course, like every parent, we would like our children to suck the best from their mother’s milk and hope that the worst will be lost somewhere during growing up. What a terrible lie. Then, parenting would be uncomplicated and untiring only with the wonderful character traits of our children. There would be no ups and downs, no dramas and joys. Nothing that would be remembered for years. There must be a little bit of what is good and a little bit of what is not so good, taken from parents and that’s how it is with us. Melted heart One day, for example, I’m picking up Dora from Nursery…

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…

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…

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…
