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…

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…

NOBODY ASKED ME
“OF ALL THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN, THE GREATEST IS TO BE A MOTHER”. – LIN YUTANG – With my first child, I started maternity leave in February, one month before the birth. Since I was feeling great physically and mentally, I reverted to my phobia of reading a dozen books. After collecting about 20 recommended books for mothers, I gave up reading the rest. The main reasons for stopping reading were the same stories about the baby’s sleeping routine, the same rules about breastfeeding, the newborn baby’s first stages, and other dry facts of motherhood that were repeated. When I lost all hope for an interesting book, I found a…

NEW SLEEPING ROUTINE BY PATRICK
“SAY HELLO TO NEWBORN AND GOODBYE TO YOUR PILLOW”. I AM IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND AT THE RIGHT TIME Hi, my name is Patrick. I haven’t slept a single night for the first three years of my life. My causes are not colic or teeth (the first ones fell out only after 10 months, very late, but also painlessly). I just didn’t sleep for no reason. I also didn’t like naps during the day. When I was one year old, I stopped sleeping in the Nursery, as the only one in the group. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/where-do-moms-get-energy-to-succeed-throughout-the-day/ In the first weeks of my life, I pooped a lot often, after almost every…

MOMMY AND DARK MAGIC
“YOU NEVER REALIZE WHAT YOUR MAGICAL POWERS ARE UNTIL YOU HAVE CHILDREN” I am a huge fan of fairy tales, I was before my children were born. The best one with a moral ending and with the significant sentence “they lived happily ever after”. What is the reason? Probably that my day in childhood ended with one bedtime story on tv, and that’s it, night, night. After my childhood experiences, I’m catching up by watching cartoons with children. And above all due to the fantastic quality of current fairy tales, the emotions that accompany me while watching them, are certainly greater than the emotions of my child. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-new-face/ Which are my…

ORDINARY MORNINGS BY BOSS BABY
“PARENTHOOD- the scariest hood you will ever go through”. 6 a.m., and the sound of small feet is coming. This is my teeny weeny private alarm clock. Never ever later, not on the weekend, why? A day like any other for my children. Mornings with 6:30 it’s a huge surprise, but if you complain too much, the next day at 5:30. Rules are rules. Especially if the boss baby made it. https://littlepuzzlesandme.com/my-childrens-sleeping-routine-its-a-f-joke/ Let’s get started! I decided that I would like to share with you my “ordinary mornings” story. And for a better and clearer presentation, I made a shortlist with general and unbreakable rules. RULE NO 1 THE COFFEE…
