Do you ever think about how strange it is that adults sleep next to their partner every night, yet we expect tiny babies and toddlers to sleep alone. Often in their own rooms. If adults are so independent - why do they need to sleep next to a loved one?

Prioritising play

When it comes to play, there’s often so much more going on than you can see! When children are playing, they’re engaged, their imagination is sparked and they’re developing key foundation skills, such as fine and gross motor skills, speech and language, social and emotional skills, problem solving, creativity and much more.

In the current situation, with everything going on around us, it’s important to remember to play and laugh together as a family whenever we get the chance.

And, the experts seem to agree! Innovators in educational toys Edx Education have shared their top 9 reasons why play is so important for kids.

“Put them in water or take them outside.” It was the first useful parenting advice I ever got. “Sleep when the baby sleeps”? I think the polite word for that gem is poppycock. But this particular axiom has saved me many times over.

I don’t remember how old my son was when I called my mom in tears because I couldn’t stop his, but his age was probably measured in weeks. Maybe days. “Nothing is working; I don’t know what else to try,” I sobbed. “He’s not hungry or sleepy or wet.” “Try giving him a bath,” she suggested. “Or bundle him up and take him outside for some fresh air. I always say to take them outside or put them in water, and usually, the grumpiness goes away.” It worked that day, and it’s worked many times since. We’ve done baths at 10 a.m. I’ve paced our driveway with a baby in my arms at 2 a.m. And today, at 5:15 p.m. when my children were fighting for the 17th time since they got home from school and I was about to lose it, instead I put one in the bath and I sent the other outside and now maybe all three of us will survive until Dad gets home.
Almost nine years later, it still works.
I can’t give you advice about sleep schedules or feedings or Montessori-approved toys. I don’t know what we’re gonna do about Tik Tok and Snapchat in a few years. But when they’re falling apart at the seams for no apparent reason, take them outside or put them in water.
Oh, and it works on grown-ups, too."

The mom burn out..

Hands up if you’ve had this or are currently going through it?

Now more than ever, I know a lot of mothers will know exactly what I meant when I talk about this.

It’s having your mind think about 100 things at once.

It’s trying to be productive whilst also trying to stop your child from climbing the walls and eating sudocrem.

It’s wanting to be the best mom and not wanting to ask for help.

It’s getting annoyed about your lack of patience, because you know you’ve hit mom burn out.

It’s forgetting about your health in your daily actions because you have other things to think about.

It’s starting to feel lonely but fight against the urge to connect with friends or family.

It’s feeling as though the house is in a constant state of disarray, no matter how much work you do.

But let me tell you this.. we all feel this way at some point and it’s important to take a break. A happy mom = a happy baby/family. Sometimes it’s best to let go of trying to be the mom/wife that you think is perfect, because it doesn’t exists. Your amazing just the way you are as well as those piles of dishes in the sink ✌🏼

Thanks for sharing 😘

It’s really mind-blowing 🤯 and we are still studying, discovering, and learning about it. I don’t think we will ever completely understand the complexity of breastmilk but what we do know is astonishing. Our bodies are truly amazing. You, mama, are truly amazing. ⠀
