Parenting - Goof off Days

Parenting - Goof off Days

Sometimes, the best things in life are learned when we are not trying to do any learning at all. That's what 'goof-off days' taught me when I was a child. And hopefully, that's what I'm teaching my kids. You see, when I was growing up, we were allowed two goof-off days a year, one before Christmas and one after. These were days when we didn't have to go to school.

All we had to do was hangout with one of our parents for the day and enjoy life. These days taught us valuable lessons. The first, of course, being that our parents actually do love us and actually do enjoy spending time with us (or at least they faked it pretty well). Another important lesson is that sometimes we all need to stop, catch our breath, and do a little goofing off. And this is a much-needed lesson that we should ingrain in our children now, before they are thrown into a world that functions at the speed of light. If you would like to start the goof-off day tradition, then here are some important things to keep in mind.

Toddler Behavior - Three tips for handling your toddler's temper tantrums

Toddler Behavior - Three tips for handling your toddler's temper tantrums

Your baby was a sweet little angel. When she cried, you knew was hungry, wet, or needed some comfort. Then Boom! Your baby grows into a toddler and throws a whopper of a tantrum. She's banging her fists, feet, or head on the floor and screaming at the top of her lungs. You're not sure what to do, but you want to make sure you do the right thing.

When your toddler begins throwing temper tantrums, she is usually experimenting. What I mean is, she may have seen someone else doing it and wonders if it will work for her. It could be something she just spontaneously decided on herself, but she's gauging your reaction. Now is the time to be cautious as what you do now will affect you both for years to come.

Here are a couple of tips for handling those tantrums....
