I’ve read long time ago that children start to fear of darkness when they start to understand the death. Usually it happens till the age of 3 or 4. My daughter is 3 and she really started to feel fear to darkness after she find out about things that we can’t change – death.

You know how mother tries to build a wall between a child and a life to ensure the safety and emotional comfort. Still I understand that if not to allow to receive some portions of information about bad things that happens in our life, one day a child may have a shock seeing something. It’s a very complicated question where is a limit of things a toddler should know. Too much information can have negative influence on a beautiful and clean mind. How to teach about positive side of life but prepare for life?

My granny told my daughter some stories and now she is afraid that we can die and she will be alone. My granny still doesn’t understand what have she done but my heart aching when I hear a request to live longer… Do your children ask you the same?

I’m sure you know what is baby. But now is a new stage and you can face a new person in your life – your toddler son or girl.

I can’t say who is toddler because I don’t know your child but I can say what is toddler.

1. Source of LOVE – all love you shown to your baby is still in toddler. Toddler knows you love him and can show his own love to you. This great! Lot’s of huggings and kissings!!! And first words of love!

2. Source of energy. Never stop, never sit still, never silent, moving and moving all the day long.

3. Source of inspiration. Even lazy people start to work hard and change their life with they understand that their toddler needs better life. It’s not a law but often it happens.

4. Source of noise. Throwing the things and toys, crying, yelling, speaking the first words or their own language, they will teach you that the best music is silence.

5. Source of desire to explore You need to show them everything in order to avoid their rage and anger. Sitting and waiting – not for them. “Never stop to explore!” – their motto.

6. Source of happiness. This sentence should be first or second in this post but I don’t want to change the list. It doesn’t matter much where is the statement. It matter what it means. You can’t be happy without children. It’s law of universe. You can pretend that you are busy with many important things but children are the most important thing in the world.

7. Source of wisdom We think we teach them to live but in reality they teach us to see the world with a new absolutely different look. We feed them, play, take care and for this they teach us how forget all unnecessary things about life.

Don’t agree? It’s your right. I’ve just spoke about my point of view…

A toddler learning poems develop the sense of rhythm, train memory and learn to speak with with more complicated structures. Your toddler can’t sit still and listen to stories and long poems. You don’t need to sit. Tell him poems while you are playing in the yard or walking to the supermarket, when having a bath or cooking in the kitchen. Just don’t be lazy!

Once I caught a fish alive

One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.

Why did I let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right.

Black sheep

Baa, Baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir,
Three bags full;
One for the master,
And one for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Baa, baa, Black sheep

White sheep and black sheep,
Graze on a hill,
When the wind stops
You all stand still.
When the wind blows
You walk away slow;
White sheep and black sheep,
Where do you go?

Well. Everything is comparatively. For example, a cup of milk for you a drink but for toddlers it’s a food. Apples and cookies are not food for you but toodler can live on them forever.

So the first tip to ensure your toddler appetite is don’t give anything exept the water between the meals. At the very first day you’ll see the difference. Don’t give anything between the meals and your children will eat healthy cooked for them food with big pleasure. I swear it works!

Second very important tip – physical activity! The organism is very wise. When the energy isn’t burnt there is no hunger. Don’t be lazy! Run, jump and swim, hide and seek – anything but not sitting on the bench or in the stroller.

Additional tip. Food stories still works. You can tell something interesting and plate would be empty! Toddlers believe that without the story or game time is wasted.

Remember! When the weather is hot tuck-in or substantial meal can cause the termal shock! The best is to let your child drink as much as he want and eat vegetarian food when hungry. You can have substantial meal only in the evening when temperature is lower.

We love our kids sometimes even more than we love ourselves. Our unwritten future is our kids. We love them even when understand that they are much different. Like chicken you can see on the photo who was sitting on the duck’s egg and truly believes they are her real children. And it doesn’t matter they are real or not. They are just different but she still loves them.

That’s the beauty of Life. All of us are different. It would be rather boring if we all were the exact copies like clones. Do you agree?

It’s just right time to reveal your toddler summer theme because it’s really wonderful time of the year created to have fun and enjoy good weather.

I’ll tell you honestly – summer isn’t time to see the pictures and flesh cards and watch educational video. It’s time to experience the LIFE with all senses we have: to smell, to touch, to eat, to breathe and so on.

And I think that a wise parent will show flowers, insects, animals and many many other things having a walk together in the park or somewhere outdoors. That’s my point for the toddler summer theme. Just anything that came to your mind is better than books, videos and cards.

It’s not hard at all. You just need to be attentive to the things around and you’ll find a lot of things to show and to tell about. Of course you have to remember about interests of the child. Otherwise your effect will be minimal.

One mother told me that her toddler is afraid of water and she has difficulties with going together to the swimming pool. So, toddlers can be afraid of some things natural for us without our concern about the reasons of the fear. We all are afraid of something. But we spoke about other things too like all moms do when their children play together and it appeared that she never let her son to have a bath because it’s rather hard thing for her and her husband. They just wash him in a shower once a week. She was very surprised to know that our Sophia has a bath every day or almost every day because I do believe that skin should breathe freely especially skin of the kids. Block pores cannot lead to health.

A week later she told me that she started to wash her toddler in a bath and he isn’t afraid if water anymore.

With help of this story from the life I wanted to say that we can make our children to be afraid of something and when a child starts to be scared of something we should ask ourselves first what is the reason of the fear.
