Picky eaters
Lots of childrens are picky eaters. And it is very difficult for a parent to deal with this kind of scenario. That when you try to give them a healthy and balanced diet and you will get a no-no shake of head and will tell you that they know what they want to eat and for you it’s a big guess.
Toddlers can become picky eaters for some reasons. Some are naturally senstive to taste, smell and texture. Others children develop picky eating habits by modeling their parents fussy eating habits. Theoretically, picky eating habits develop when parents punish, bribe or rewards their childrens behavior. Parents must plan on what is the best way to get rid of the picky eating habits of their toddlers.
When childrens are picky eaters, sometimes it is a response to controlling or pushy parents or to bribery. The battle over food can lead to resistance and defiance from the child. Ultimately, it child’s decision as to what to eat and not to eat the foods you have provided. Sometimes the toddler may eat very little or nothing at all, but they will make up the nutrition later that day or later in the week.
Toddlers and Pets: Lessons Learned
My brother and I had a small chit chat about kids’ pets and how having one can have a great impact on a child’s leadrship and social skills. True enough, I read this article about ‘Kids and Pets’
Pets are an important part of childhood. Everybody has a childhood memory involving a pet. If you’re considering getting a pet, be prepared for additional expenses and headaches over who cares for the pet. However, children benefit significantly from caring for animals. It teaches them to be kind, patient and gentle and those traits will carry over to how they treat other people. Developing positive feelings about pets can contribute to a child’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Positive relationships with pets can aid in the development of trusting relationships with others.

Night Time Coughing of Toddlers
How do you stop night time coughing in toddlers? For a couple of nights now or a month at most, Matthew has been coughing consistently every night. I decided to search the internet about it too, since I believe that if my boy is experiencing this, I am pretty sure that we are not alone. Somewhere out there there are also parents who are searching and seeking for help about their child coughing every night.
So, how do you stop night time coughing in toddlers? Most of the answer you would find online is to use Vicks vaporub. Of course, this will not actually cure the coughing but it will suppose to help them breath to when they have a cold or their nose is stuff.

Stool Softener for Kids and Adults?
This post is sort of like a followup post from the Toddler Constipation post. As of now, we are still having problem curing or giving relief to our boys who frequently suffers from constipation.
We are still feeding them with foods rich in fiber as well as avoiding drinks or food that can cause constipation but we cannot stop milk for now. They are still small and babies.
We are now considering using stool softeners. I am now wondering if there is such a thing as stool softeners for children.

Baby Constipation: Tips Cure and Remedies
Today’s (overdue) post is about baby constipation. We’ll try to list down the causes of it, the tips and cures and also enumerate the best treatment or remedies in dealing with toddler constipation. Like I said, this is an overdue post. I could have made a post like this way back when my first born (Matt) was a little over 1 year old.
Matt is turning 4 years old now and his little brother, Sean, will be turning 2. That is why this topic on baby constipation is a little late. Good thing (NOT) that my sons sometimes still suffer constipation which reminded me to browse the web and search for remedies for constipation.. specific for babies and toddlers
