    Toddlers are as curious as cats.
    Both of them have the similar behavior, so curious and so eager to find out what will happen if he does this or that.

     

    From the age that your toddler started to crawl to […]

    • You have totally nailed this one. Reminds me of a programme that I used to watch when I was younger called the Nanny. It was a very educators programme that taught a lot about young kids and their parents at times they would also bring in teenagers who he e issues without parents, and this taught quite a few tricks and tips on how to handle a child in your care. I must say all the things that you have mentioned ar3 the things that the Nanny teaches about. When you are saying no to a child it’s always necessary to get to the child’s level and explain to him or her in a form yet living way and time that what they did was not right and also teach them to say sorry. That’s so nice. And yes sometimes it’s good to let a child just cry all they want but never compromise with your child otherwise they will learn to take advantage of you. Always show them that you are th3 one in control and that they should know they ar3 not the ones who should be telling you what to do. Thanks for sharing very informative.

    • try to say to them Yes instead

    • try to not punish them

    • try to find another way to tell them yes instead of no and stay calm

    • Well,I agree with you.You have written a very good article.I experienced this in my house hhhhh. Its a very hard to control a growing child specially in early age.Where he doesn’t listen to you whatever you will tell him but i have seen many kids they don’t do things which can disturb you and they listen to you what ever you ask them.I think parents plays an important role in that .I you guide your child good he will listen to you whatever you wil tell him,But if you didn’t guide him that this is good or bad,Then he will not listen to you even when he become adult.

    • If your child insist on doing something that you think he’s not supposed to do. If he insists on eating and touching what he’s not meant to touch or eat, there are tactics that should be used on them to concur with your own decision. Yes, like in the article, children are always curious to know what going to happen if he does this or that, they are just like scientists.
      When I visited my anty who had a son of 3 to 4 years, my anty was always finding a whole lot of problem in convincing her son to concur to her no. My anty will want to watch a movie, but the boy wouldn’t want her to watch the movie, he will be disturbing her to put the film he wants. The most funny part is he’s always with the film he wanted the mother to put for him. My anty knowing that she can’t do what he wishes will find another interesting toy to distract him from seeing the movie. Sometimes they guy concur to the distraction while sometimes he will keep insisting. But if he insists to the extent of crying, my anty wouldn’t heed to him but will result in making him cry and sending him into the room. When we came out to eat most times, he carried his provisions and brought it to the mother signifying to her that he wants to take the provision for breakfast.my anty always found a way to make him eat the food she cooked. She will distract him and hide the provision. When the baby turns to stake the provisions, he wouldn’t see it, he would keep quiet. My anty for one day had never concurred to her son’s No.

    I still remember those trial times when my son who was still a toddler, always said “NO” all the time to me, regardless of what I told him to do.

     

    My toddler love to give a “No” for an answer, without […]

    • Your experience is true but all the children say NO at home at every talk they do not learn what other activities parents do at home in leisure time. There are a few children who do when be negative trends on child birth more active my one of the nephews does so the same exactly at home. Your tips are useful for the children childhood upbringing. I appreciate your tips.

    • I still recalled those sweet memory with my kids when they were toddlers. They were very cute when they were the cutie pie but annoying when they keep saying “NO!”
      My kids never practise this style during their toddlers period maybe I never ask Yes or No question. I assumed they didn’t understand what’s the meaning of “No” and just didn’t bother them. Were I a bad mum in this case? I have no idea too. Haha!

    • Kids can be so cunning and annoying at the same time, but you cannot afford to be mad at your toddler because it’s going to be your loss. Your kid may have annoyed and will still go I to do what they like to do and even forget that they annoyed you at some point. So like your saying that when you tell a child no always be stern and follow that no with action that way they will know that what they did it what they want to do is wrong. That way they will not rpeat the same mistake knowing that they will be purnished for any mistake that they make. A lot of the times kids will always want to do or say something just to see how the parent will react. And if you react harshly then they would think you don’t love them but a form answer will make things so much better.

    • It’s the clear base in the Chinese soups that I really like. In fact, I always tell people the best way to judge if a Chinese restaurant is good is by their won ton soup. Bad won ton soup. Bad restaurant. If they can’t get that cleat broth tasty, the rest of the meal probably won’t be that good either. Eh! That’s just what I say! 🙂 I love almost any kind of soup.

    • Yes, there are many medicines that give relief from depression as you have said actually depression is nothing but prethinking will and wishes produce depression human soul not in mind because first depression spreads in soul after this its demonstration becomes on human mind.

      Researchers have learned much about the biology of depression. They’ve identified genes that make individuals more vulnerable to low moods and influence how an individual responds to drug therapy. One day, these discoveries should lead to better, more individualized treatment but that is likely to be years away.

      And while researchers know more now than ever before about how the brain regulates mood, their understanding of the biology of depression is far from complete.

      Nerve cell connections, nerve cell growth, and the functioning of nerve circuits have a major impact on depression. Still, their understanding of the neurological underpinnings of mood is incomplete.

      If depression were primarily the result of low levels of neurotransmitters, people don’t feel better as soon as levels of neurotransmitters increase.

    • Awwwe how sweet sometimes kids can be such angels. They can surprise their parents in the most unusual ways, ways that parents wouldn’t have even imagined. You know many times parents may assume that kids don’t see or realize the things or sacrifices they make to see their kids through life. Sometimes the little things that they do are seen and the kids keep it to themselves until a time when they will need to express their feelings come up then they narrate all the things that their parents have done for them, and this comes as a surprise to the parents because they never thought that their child have captured some things.

What does a snake do for you other than scare you away? A gecko what good is it for surely. At least I know if I ha e a car that can chase away days and some creepy crawling things. And keep your house away from rodents that can cause problems or disease at some point. Having a dog is a good idea if will keep intruders out of your home that’s for a good course unlike other animals. I have grown up with dogs in our home so I love dogs and that can be very friendly as well. Having a dog can also create company just playing around with it is just a good feeling

    • Another wonderful dessert recipe with the taste of tropical paradise in it. 🙂

    • hmm, it look yummy. I would try it for my kids

    • That sounds so delicious with that mango pudding. When season of mango come, so many mango being rotten and people don’t even dare to look ways to have it preserved or cook for things that can be used for future use.

    • This post is very interesting. The pudding you have written about has to be tried comfortably with patience at convenient time. Of course, I am having patience in rich quantity. It is only the time I need.
      The pudding you have mentioned is somewhat similar to ‘MANGO TANDRA’. The difference is that it looks like small thick layers instead of juice or jelly.
      I like mangoes very much. I remembered the days when I ate number of mangoes and suffered from severe stomach pain. The only medicine the Doctor suggested me was to take them out by vomiting. He gave injection and brought the whole stuff out.
      In India this is called KING OF FRUITS. Here many people prefer it along with sweet curd. After the meals people mix the juice of Mango in their curd rice and eat it. They enjoy it. This is the only way of eating I avoid.

    • Wow sounds so so nice.

    • You are right. I am a Sagittarius and love mangoes since my childhood and even I am an old man but I still eat mango pudding made by my friend’s mom for me.

      Mango pudding is a popular dim sum dessert. Stephen Wong writes: “This simple dessert captures the glorious flavor of mango like no other. Its texture is silky rich, and its flavor, simply wonderful. Fresh cream is called for in the original recipe, but evaporated milk gives it the same richness without the fat.”
      Need a little help? Here are photo instructions showing how to make this recipe for Mango Pudding

      I have read ten benefits of mango pudding
      1. Prevents Cancer:
      2. Lowers Cholesterol:
      3. Clears the Skin:
      4. Improves Eye Health:
      5. Alkalizes the Whole Body:
      6. May Help with Diabetes:
      7. Promotes Healthy Sex:
      8. Improves Digestion:
      9. Helps Fight Heat Stroke:
      10. Boosts the Immune System:

      Keeping in mind these benefits it is most useful for human health. We must all eat the mango pudding making at home.

    • The writer’s point of view about parents v children rivalry is feelings, and emotions of the child is not a correct concept of the writer because it is the fault of age in childhood and youth but in adulthood the main cause of rivalry is lack of true education and nothing else. The feelings and emotions are the same awarded by God on birth to every child. Actually birth planets settle human trends since childhood and the child follows his trend active on birth while parents force the child do what they want from her starts parents v children rivalry at home.

      When with the passage of time 90 per cent children mend selves by improving education leads the children to the right path. I am International Net Astrologer,have advised parents let the children follow their birth trends they will get success on growing up.

      That is why is said that follow the rend for success and the planets shape human trends in society and those who follow birth trends may not be a problem for parents, history is replete with such examples.

    • It is good for parents and children to respect each other. When there is a lack of respect on either side, that is when complications arise. People can disagree with each other, but need to do so in a respectable way if they want to live together in some type of harmony.

      A person who owns/rents their home, whether they are a parent or not, is essentially “the boss” of anyone who they allow to stay under their roof, in their home. That being said, most of the time, the boss RULES. But… good bosses have respect, and are lenient and understanding when situations call for those types of responses.

      Sometimes parents are disrespectful to their children because the parent might feel like since they are the older adult, they are always right. On the other hand, some children are very disrespectful to their parents. The key (although sometimes easier said than done) is for both parties to respect the differences in one another.

      If one side is being respectful, let’s say the child is very respectful, but the parent for whatever reason is NOT, then it would be wise for the ‘child’ to leave the parental home as soon as possible.

      If things are the other way around, where the child is disrespectful for no reason to a very understanding and respectful parent, then it is up to the parent to make some decisions as to that child’s continued living arrangements in the parental home.

      Once living apart from each other, if the two still can’t get along, then limited contact is the best for everybody.

      The only kind of okra that I will eat is if it is fried and tastes crunchy. It can be rolled in a cornmeal mixture, then fried in olive oil, or maybe even coconut oil. I’ll even eat okra that has been roasted in the oven, but it can’t be slimy at all, or else I won’t eat it.
