Tips, Tricks and Tools for Raising Great Kids from a Professional Nanny with over 30 Years of Experience.
Behavior is effected by food. Less sugar in your child’s diet will help them control their minds and bodies better.
Save yourself (and your child) time, money and frustration and buy quality toys or things that will last without taking up mental and physical space in your life. Books, experiences, necessary clothes, for example.
Never do something for your child that they can do themselves. Teaching them to participate and contribute within your home and family will grow their abilities and confidence out in the world.
Using the positive words of what you want your child TO DO will be more successful than the negative words of what not to do. “Sit on you knees or bottom.” instead of “Don’t stand on the chair.”
Using the proper tone of voice is an investment in better communication with and for your child.
