Good day awesome mommies!
Taking care of this little humans isn't easy at all especially now that school is out, they stay with us at home all the time unlike during school hours mothers tend to rest more, attend to their house chores, take a nap and those who work from home like me would have enough time to do that, few days ago I talked to a mother and she said she can't wait for school to resume so that the kids will go back to school they are really disturb her alot. is funny because to parents school are their Saving grace and whenever the kids goes to school there is peace and quietness at home. well I wouldn't blame them is not easy taking care of this little ones especially babies they can't talk or listen when you tell them to be mute or calm they even tend to make more noise like the way my baby do. How then do mothers manage this situation now that school is out? I have been practicing on different routine for some time now and it has worked for me.
I believe every kids are different in nature so when you understand your kids it will be more easier to control them, I realized my baby love songs alot anytime she disturbs or cry and I sing a song for her she will be calm and just stares at me with curiosity.. unknowingly to me I composed more songs for her than I expected, I had to record some of them in case I forget any I will just replay it for her.
My baby loves cartoons alot prior I was using it to stop her from disturbing or crying anytime I have something important to do that requires total concentration I just put it on for her to be mute but ever since I read and did some research on it that screen isn't good for baby's eyes I just had to stop, my baby only listen to cartoon songs with the songs she learned how to clap her hands and to say papa. whenever she hears that cartoon song her cheerful mood is activated and she's happy again! Sometimes I take little moment from my busy schedules and dance for her with some little drama to create more fun, filling the atmosphere with happiness and I noticed it makes her even more happier.
While on summer vacation you can control your offspring by using toys practically every kids love toys alot especially when is on different colours and designs kids tend to be attracted by colours giving them toys will be a means of distraction to them, you can also get the ones with figures like 1234567 or ABCDEF with that it will help them to learn better, parents can also make provisions of some drawing materials for their kids allow them to practice how to draw with some guidance from their loved ones. mothers are very good in educational primary rhymes if you can't compose one at least you know some way back in the days while growing up, trust me this will be of help to control your child.
You can send her on little household errands like to bring the spoon or cups he or she can even help in the kitchen...
Take them out on a beach to have fun and be with their fellow children, kids relate and play well with other children than when thay are alone. Taking them out will help in creating that relationship and bonding together as parents and kids.
I understand that most kids cry before taking their siesta, some parents might not be aware of this...you can cuddle him/her to sleep or sing, better still download an app for lullabies that will be of great help. Whenever my baby is not interested in any of this I just have to back her on my back with wrapper that will enable her to sleep fast, with my child on my back I can attend to my daily activities without disturbance or distractions...
Physical education is also good for kids, allow them to engage on it if you re financially stable you can get those equipments for kids at home to keep them busy and cheerful. Parents can also get a private tutor it will contribute more in developing them intellectually before school resumes.
I hope with this, it will be of help in any way.
Thanks alot for your time in my blog!
