Consejos Para Padres ~ Parenting Tips
It’s never early to start potty training! The idea that children shouldn’t start before they are “ready” has its foundations with “readiness” including being able to sit up independently and maintain neck control, typically by six months of age. Over the last five decades “readiness” has been misinterpreted in the U.S. to begin later and later, sometimes with advice including waiting for the child to make his own decision about when he is ready to be using the toilet independently. In many parts of the world today, and for many families in the U.S., children are regularly communicating with their parents or caregiver about their pee and poop (elimination) needs between 12-24 months.

Healthy eating starts with us, as parents and caregivers, being aware of what we are buying, bringing into our homes, and serving our children. This​ ​article​ ​says, "As parents, we should focus on creating independent eaters: kids who have a healthy relationship with food, who can self-regulate sweets and who enjoy all kinds of foods without a parent persuading them to eat..." Another news ​article​ cites a study that shows how preschoolers who are restricted from eating certain foods, will typically overeat and binge that target food when parents are not around.

Trasporte Aéreo

Consejos Para Padres ~ Parenting Tips
Children move through cycles throughout the years, often changing and evolving seemingly every six months. Half the year, it seems as if we are in sync with the child, with their interests, their moods, their personality. The other half of the year, it can often seem like our angel baby has left and we can be unsure if we are doing anything right. The constant change between equilibrium and disequilibrium and can be exhausting for us as parents or caregivers. It’s also common for children to experience brief periods of regression immediately prior to accomplishing the next big developmental milestone.

Young children need to sleep! We learn in Positive Discipline that if children are hungry, angry, lonely or tired we must address those needs first before trying to teach, explain or discipline our children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 11-14 hours of total sleep (including naps) for children ages 1-2 and 10-13 hours of total sleep (including naps) for children ages 3-5. Of course, we can’t force our child to sleep and trying to do so only invites a power struggle. Try these two tips.

Consejos Para Padres ~ Parenting Tips
Did you study another language in high school? Another language for college? Do you have basic vocabulary in another language? It’s time to start using that language with your child! The internal process that unfolds as an individual learns, or acquires a language is essentially the same, for all languages and at all ages. When multiple languages are introduced early in life, children are able to adapt and understand messages in multiple languages. Infants and toddlers have the unique advantage of not having the negative self-talk or concerns about what others think. These things can make it more challenging for us to learn another language as adults, but make it easier for children.

Consejos Para Padres ~ Parenting Tips
Mealtimes and snacks times can be a great opportunity to build relationships with your child while helping your child to learn manners, ​buenos hábitos,​ and eating healthy, ​a comer saludable​. Remember, just like toileting and sleeping, eating is one of the few choices that your child can control and can use as a tool in power struggles with you. While we can’t (and shouldn’t) force our child to eat a specific food, there are many things that we can do to help.

Mi Osito y Mis Cosas

Consejos Para Padres ~ Parenting Tips
An important part of physical development is transition from the diaper. Children are physically ready for a potty when they can sit up independently, typically around 6 months of age. Get a potty. Talk about the potty with your child. Offer the potty with every diaper change. Ask your child to become part of the process by being in charge of getting their own diaper or pull-up, or helping to take the old one off, and throwing it away. Try for the easy “catches” such as upon waking, before bathing, before leaving. Flush every poop down the toilet and have your child help you in the process, explaining where the pee and poo go.

Consejos Para Padres ~ Parenting Tips
Participating in group activities is a shared experience between you and your toddler. Shared attention, or engaging in a shared experience is an opportunity to build vocabulary while also teaching the social construct of taking turns. During a group conversation or presentation, we can talk to our child before arriving about taking a turn from talking to be a good listener. You can also introduce vocabulary during this preview session with your child. During the session, sit with your child, whisper gentle reminders. Try to offer a snack to your child before group time to minimize distraction by hunger.
