Kids' Bedroom Heaven - Inspiration and Imagination

Your children's room is the place where your beloved will spend a significant part of their lives, which is why you should give your best to decorate it appropriately. Your kids should have fun playing in there, but they also should have their own corner where they can relax reading their favourite books or doing their homework. Home decoration is a demanding task, especially when it comes to kids' room, but we have some tips to make it easier for you. Check them out.

    Talking to Your Infant About Sexuality

    The notice arrives from the nurse at your child’s elementary school.

    “The Talk” will be held at some point during fifth grade. Your eyes bug out, your heart pounds, sweat beads down your chest (okay, maybe that was a hot flash), and you suddenly have a need for a glass of red. Or white. And friends!

    Little thought bubbles begin exploding around your head:

    Wait, I want to talk to my child before the school does.
    No way do I want to talk to my child about this!

    A Balancing Act!

    Your role as a parent is a balancing act. You’re on the tightrope juggling school vs. home, nutrition vs. treats, play vs. discipline.

    And you have something else to manage that many parents don’t understand: being a parent of a child vs. being a parent of a child with special needs.

    Sometimes your child has an undesired behavior because, well, they’re a kid.

    But other times it’s based on their developmental challenges.

    While there is never an excuse for challenging behavior, the difference in origin will effect how you address your child.

    What should your child be doing in preschool? Not sitting around

    "Should I hold my son back from kindergarten?" a mom asked me. Her child was at a play-based preschool, and she was worried that he wasn't ready for kindergarten because he didn't know his letters and numbers. The first few school years of a child are essential for their growth and learning. So, it’s not surprising that many parents worry about the quality of teaching and the developmental advancement that their children must gain as they grow.

    What Positive Discipline Sounds Like

    My preschooler came out of her room and stomped once. I carried her back to bed. As I turned to leave, she called out:

    “When we were camping, C wanted to be alone and I kept at him, and he hurt me. He hit me first. I hit him second. Next time we go camping, I’m going to hurt C.”

    “Then I’m afraid we can’t go camping with C,” I said gently, hoping she would see the error in her ways (but not see I was making that up). “We go camping to have fun, not to hurt people.”
