Crying, clinging, tantrums — it’s normal for young children to get upset when they have to separate from caregivers. This anxiety often fades as kids get older, but many toddlers and school-age children continue to have some difficulty with separation. If your child struggles with this, consider implementing these steps in preparation for the next time you have to be separate from your child.

As children grow into early childhood, their world will begin to open up. They will become more independent and begin to focus more on adults and children outside of the family. They will want to explore and ask about the things around them even more. Their interactions with family and those around them will help to shape their personality and their own ways of thinking and moving. Here is a positive parenting quick tip to help you support your preschooler during this time:

CONTINUE TO READ TO YOUR CHILD. NURTURE THEIR LOVE FOR BOOKS BY TAKING THEM TO THE LIBRARY OR BOOKSTORE.

😩 A lot of parents say are really worried because their child doesn’t like meat. ⁠

Your child can thrive as a vegetarian as long as they eat a variety of protein-rich foods.⁠

For some things like omega-3’s, a supplement is usually helpful if the child isn’t eating fish, since it’s not feasible to get enough of it from diet (even if nuts & seeds to have them).⁠

Vitamin A, at any dose, does not protect against measles and no parent should give to their child vitamin A in hopes of preventing measles. Vitamin A is a micronutrient, meaning very small amounts are all we need to stay healthy and we get those through a healthy diet and in recommended doses of over-the-counter multivitamin supplements. Larger doses of vitamin A given over prolonged periods are very dangerous and can lead to vomiting, blurry vision, headaches, and, when more severe, liver damage and coma.

It is recommended, that under a doctor's supervision, kids infected with measles be given vitamin A once a day for two days to reduce the severity of the illness. But that is a small amount in a medical setting. The only way to prevent measles is to get your child vaccinated with the MMR vaccine. Talk to your pediatrician with questions.

During this time, your teen might face peer pressure to use alcohol, to***co products, drugs, and to have s*x. Other challenges can be eating disorders, depression, and family problems. At this age, teens make more of their own choices about friends, sports, studying, and school. They become more independent, with their own personality and interests, although parents are still very important.
