This includes toys which need more batteries than imagination, and ones that aren't age appropriate causing your child to become frustrated.<br /><br />2. Do provide them endless opportunities to be outside. Climbing trees, riding bikes, swinging, drawing with chalk on the driveway, finding bugs, feeding the birds/cows/other animals, and the list goes on. Even if it is raining! Puddles are always great and mud washes off. (Bonus: no toys are being spread around your house during outside time!)<br /><br />3. And, most importantly, don't worry about what any other parent is doing for/with their children. You know your child best, so trust your instincts (this goes along with your "just love them"). Of course, we all need help at times, so don't be ashamed to ask when that time comes.Tracinoreply@blogger.com
