Imaginative Play Ideas for Kids

Imaginative play ideas for kids are important because although it has no rules it is an important factor in your child’s development of social skills and problem solving. Imaginative play effectively puts your child in to someone else’s shoes as they pretend to be a different character, whether that’s taller or shorter, younger or older. It is also a form of cooperative play, as they learn how to take turns.

What New Mothers Think About the NHS Birth Experience

What New Mothers Think About the NHS Birth Experience

What New Mothers Think About the NHS Birth Experience A new mother who had a positive experience said: “The staff were brilliant in a really traumatic situation. We were well looked after and, ultimately, they saved my life.”
Most of us dream of starting a family. It is just something that is embedded in our system. As humans, we always have that instinct to find someone else and group or join together to form one cohesive unit. It isn’t just for survival anymore, but a tendency for camaraderie and group formation. This way, it has become a need for us to interact with another person. Even though we can survive on our own, most studies suggest that this will lead to us regressing back to our savage ways. The only thing preventing that is other people. However, starting a family is another level of group formation. With the latter one, it is just all about living with each other due to advantages or circumstances. It is also usually driven by instinct i.e. mating calls and animal intuition. In the thinking and rational world though, this is an entirely different thing. Even if we feel tempted and sometimes driven by our libido, starting a family is a conscious choice. According to this article, it should be something that we want not just because we wanted it in the heat of the moment. This is why raising a baby also goes up to that list of responsibilities that only responsible adults should do. Choosing Wellness There is nothing wrong with being protective of your baby. Aside from instinct, it should also be a part of common sense. Whether you gave life or another opportunity, that baby is now a part of you. As a parent, you would need to take care of him or her as much as possible. This is until they can fend off for themselves and face the real world. It may not be easy, but it can sure be worth it even as a parent. Meanwhile, being young should be something that you should enjoy as well because it is not going to last. They would grow up so rapidly right before your very eyes, which is why they need to be your utmost priority. Unfortunately, the modern world has a lot of challenges thrown at parents. If you are a first-timer, then the challenge is even increased to the two-fold level. You would need to balance your work and home life. It has been the norm for women to stay at home to take care of the family while the man works. This might still be the case in many countries around the world but it has been changing for the better. Many women are now exploring high-powered fields that need them to be dedicated as much as possible. This is the reason why most couples hire a sitter once the baby arrives. There is another issue that comes to play and you would need to fully trust the person who is going to take care of your offspring for you. There have been many cases of abuse that have been documented by the media. Sitters not paying attention to their wards or being literally abusive are just some of the cases. There are even others that end up with trauma, injury, or death. As parents, you do not want this to happen to your child. Even if the sitter is just temporary, you would still need to secure them. This is why you might need to install one of the best travel baby monitors to increase their security. Factors for Your Choice 1. Security Features Fortunately, technology has been catching up with everything that we need in our lives. This has been especially true for security. Now, if you are looking for the best monitors, you need to look at what it can offer you in terms of protection. Internet connection should also come in handy, as you cannot just stay in one place for long like CCTVs. You need to have something more versatile, and let you guard your baby even while you are working. Also, you need to check the durability of the equipment. Will it last long or get easily tampered with? These are questions that you should ask while shopping for this. 2. Camouflage This is rather important especially if you do not want others to know that you are keeping watch of your child. It should be small enough to fit in almost any crevice and should be unnoticeable as well. Some companies even develop toy bears that have hidden cameras inside. You can choose these as it would decrease the likelihood of others discovering it. However, if you are not sure of your choice, you can buy a more advanced security apparatus. Some of them are even smaller than a pen, and yet it is more effective in hiding itself from anyone. 3. Battery and Power Capacity Meanwhile, this is not something that you should forget. For one, this pertains to its capacity as a security system. More specifically, this will prove its effectiveness by letting you know how long it will run. Most of these cameras are connected to a permanent power source, but it has a backup in case of emergencies. This is the best setup since it will cover your child for a longer time and you do not need to worry about blackouts. On the other hand, you can choose a battery-powered camera if you are looking for short term use. For example, you only need it for a night and it would be impractical to install an entire network inside your house. Check this out: https://www.safety.com/security-camera-installation/. 4. Recording Clarity Lastly, it should be noted that the clarity of the recording must be as clear as possible. Most people think that CCTVs are so useless because of their poor quality in recording, and there is some truth in this statement. However, this is just for the previous or older generations of equipment. Nowadays, it is so clear that you can even recognize faces. As long as you put it in a strategic area, you would be able to see everything without other people being the wiser. You can always choose a camera that has camouflage, but you should be able to see what is happening as well.

How to stop my toddler spilling juice? Our EZ-Sip Review One of my greatest challenges I have come across on my parenting journey has to be finding a cup that the kids can both use.  We have tried everything from beakers to straw cups, and no matter what I have used, they always seem to find a way to spill their juice everywhere, they especially like spilling their juice on our new carpets and new sofa!  We found that using a normal beaker made snack times and meal times very... wet and very messy!!!  I have often Googled “How to Stop my toddler spilling juice?” but have never had much luck in finding anything that would help.

When Will My Toddler Stop Needing a Nappy at Night

When Will My Toddler Stop Needing a Nappy at Night

When Will My Toddler Stop Needing a Nappy at Night Getting a child ‘potty trained’ during the day is relatively easy partially due to the child’s peer pressure and the fact the child thinks it’s quite a ‘grown up’ thing to do. So, coming out of nappies is somewhat of a doddle but the ‘follow on’ problem is slightly harder to resolve. The question is often asked, at "when will my toddler stop needing a nappy at night"
A Dads Honest Account of Parental Leave

A Dads Honest Account of Shared Parental Leave

A dads honest account of parental leave in his own words. In a few days’ time, I return to work after what will have been 11 weeks of Shared Parental Leave. Truth be told, at this stage, I expected to be quite excited about going back. I was teased before I left work in June that I was about to go through the hardest 3 months of my life. I believed it. Early thoughts of playing golf with my retired Dad every other day were well out of the window! The First 8 Months During the first 8 months of my son’s life, he had been a real Mummy’s boy. I didn’t need more than the fingers and thumbs on my hands to count the number of times he’d settled and fallen asleep on me. What was I going to do when he got over-tired and upset? How was I going to settle him without a magic boob to call upon? Did I really have to put him in the car and go for an hour’s drive every morning and afternoon, just to make sure he had his naps?

“Have a baby “they said…. “it will be fun” they said… but they never said how many sleepless nights you have when you have a baby.Regardless of whether it is the numerous night feeds or the amount of thoughts on your mind when you are trying to balance everything that comes with being a parent, there is always a little bit of stress attached when it comes to running a household.We simply cannot deny the increase in outgoings when it comes to starting a family. The fact is, our babies are always growing which means clothing purchased that initially fits like a glove, regularly need to be replaced with new clothing.

Strong to the core – At what age can a child swim properly?

0 Comments

At what age can a child swim properly? It’s a question we get asked a lot at Water Babies, and it’s all down to water confidence and core strength. Firstly, it rather depends on what you mean by ‘swim properly’. Thanks to innate reflexes, babies can swim under the water from birth. But to be able to swim on the surface, lifting their head to take a breath, little ones need a degree of strength that comes with age.
