Hello, I hope you can help me.
My kids give me a really hard time doing their homework after school. They want to play and then they can't seem to concentrate at all. What do you think I can do?
Harried Mom
I have found that the best thing that works in our house is trying to get the homework done just as soon as they get home. That way it is still fresh in their heads and their minds are still in the learning mode. I have always done this with all the little ones that need me to do it with them. I find that if they get caught up in their playtime first. then it is just too hard to pull them away.
The big ones on the other hand, need the time after a long day to unwind first, but by the time they get to be that old, they have already established enough conscientiousness to push themselves.
Good luck!
I hope you can advise me.
We have a two year old at home and are expecting our second child in a couple of months. I am worried about whether or not the two year old will like the new baby or not. I have seen some toddlers throw things on their new baby siblings and pinch them and I don t want that to happen here. Any ideas?
Expectant Mom
Dear Expectant Mom,
The first thing I always did before I went to the hospital, was
buy a small gift to present to the elder sibling "from"
the new baby. Then from the moment I came home the new baby always
"belonged" to the one just above him/her. In other words,
the new baby was the toddlers "special" brother or sister.
They were the ones to bring me the diaper. or tell me if the baby
woke up and was crying or held the baby (with help of course).
I found that this helped build a closeness between the elder and
younger child and avoided a lot of the jealousy that would normally
be there. Of course I cannot say that closeness extended through
the teenage years! But it worked when they were small!
Lots of luck to you!
Remember, raising kids is a tough but very rewarding job. All we can do is try our best and learn to laugh at our mistakes as we learn along the way.
The main thing is to love them a lot and talk with them a lot and keep smiling
All the best always.
