Ideas to make them help in the kitchen with vegetables.
  • In a week decide a day they going to clean these vegetables or peel it
  • Tell them we going to use these cleaned vegetables which they cleaned to cook and let everyone know they helped with the cleaning of vegetables.
  • Praise them, children love when they are praised, appreciated, applauded and given attention

  • Make them put each vegetable in the container and let them open and close those containers.
  • Children love to play with containers and open and close the lid many times. This will keep them occupied much more time.
  • Let them carry those containers and keep them in the refrigerator or designated place. They enjoy doing these tasks of carrying as well.
  • Give them two containers one is for waste and one is for vegetables. This will improve their analytical skills and sorting activities.
  • Make mistakes and see how they correct you. Example-Mix waste and vegetables in one box and see how instantly they correct you.

Fun Ways My Toddler Learned Colors

Are you worried about teaching colors to your little one? Don't be! I'll share how I helped my 18-month-old recognize all colors through some engaging activities. Let's make learning colors a playful adventure! Introduce colors to children with help of some activities- 👉Toy Adventure: Encourage your child to find specific-colored toys. Say, "Can you bring the pink ball?" This not only makes learning fun but also associates colors with their favorite playthings. 👉Show and Tell: Explore the world around you together.

Toddler saying thank you and sorry?

The three magical words? Am I talking about I love you or something else, confused right. No, I am not talking about I love you. What I am writing today about is the three magical words which are 1.

Birth giving and it's feeling

It’s good news! The pregnancy test stated I am pregnant. Two red lines turned my world upside down. Happiness, tears, and scary moments were there. Loads of questions and panic-filled moments too.  I first made a call to my husband, thank god for technology. I told him to come home; I was expecting. He was on cloud nine! He wanted to dance, celebrate, and shout to the world that he was going to be a dad. Months passed by, and my pregnancy progressed after a few complications. I delivered a healthy happy child. They say you won’t understand the feeling of being a mother unless you become one.  It’s true, I had a c-section. The doctors delivered the baby, they were saying congratulations, you have delivered a healthy child. I was in utter shock, I asked them if it was a boy or a girl. They said it was a boy. I immediately kissed him. Though it never matter ed if the baby was a boy or girl. We both only wanted a healthy baby nothing else. Days passed by since the two little...
