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 Pick a game such as counting, name the colour, parts of plants, racing, and make them sit. 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. E...

I remember vaguely my playschool days or my primary school days. We always had a day in a week where we were asked to come in colourful dresses and one of the lectures was cooking or playing with dough or making round puris. We used to love that day of the week because we were made to do stuff that was out of our study schedule.We we're asked not to bring our tiffin box col it school and have that food for lunch. I never had thought why was this play and learn were included in our weekly schedule during my school days. So the question arises how did we help to cook and how did these activities were meant to improve our fine motor skills - We were given the following vegetables to peel or cut every week. Note : These activities are supposed to be done only when an adult is supervising and is accompanied by the toddler. There might be chances of toddler swallowing or hurting themselves while doing it. Please do these only if you can supervise. These activities are for kid...

Importance of fine motor skills We never thought why our grandparents or their parents always kept small infants in a crib  and toys were tied to the crib. Those toys were tied at a place where the baby could see it, basically on the side or  above the baby’s head. This basically improved their sight. Seeing basically meant, improving their vision, and trying  to move their heads side by side looking at the toy which is making sound and thinking from  where is the sound coming?  The toys which were tied with the sound on the crib had long strings infants tried kicking,  catching those colorful strings. These moments were basically are hand-eye coordination moments a big milestone that  infants take. When the babies are small we always have toys that they can easily grab to improve their  hand-eye coordination. The development of fine motor starts from a very small age around, 1 or 2 months. The full development o...

Is breastfeeding making you more hungry and thirsty all the time?  Always thinking what should you eat next? Breastfeeding has all sorts of benefits for both mom and the baby. Breast milk is very nutritious and contains most of the nutrients your baby needs for the first 6 months.  Breastfeeding burns more fats than any other exercise could. Therefore, your needs for most nutrients are increased in order to meet this demand. Do eat, don't think about your body shape or post-pregnancy weight. It will shred when the time comes. Post-pregnancy, the nights are always long and the day quite a bit sleepy. So, if you are awake the whole night feeding your baby, you definitely must be feeling hungry and thirsty most of the time. It is incredibly important to eat healthy while breastfeeding. Healthy eating will also give you the energy you need to take care of yourself and your baby. You also have an increased need for most nutrients, so it's very important to...

Why is my baby putting hands in his mouth and you feel he is again hungry  or is he teething? I had the same worries and similar question. Try and remove their hands from their mouth and see what look do you get and see how loud they can cry. All the babies put their fingers, fist in their mouth for many reasons though the reasons may vary for different babies. Around the age of 3 months until 1-year babies go through many developmental changes and growth spurt. Meet many other milestones, so to soothe them this is one of the best available thing they find besides breastfeeding. So putting a hand in the mouth or sucking on fingers soothes them. Putting a hand in the mouth doesn't always mean they are hungry or the babies are teething. They are learning hand and mouth coordination, which will later help them in self-feeding. They are exploring their body. So this should be like in their little world I feel -Oh wow!I have hands yippee. Oh wow! I can put my hands in th...

Introduce food and fruits between 6 months to 1 year. At one point in time, you have to start solids you can't just go on with breastfeeding forever. The nutrition which is required after 6 months of age the kid starts to get it from the solid foods that include all various fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains, etc. The ideal age to start solid is after 6 months. I too started solid when my kid completed 6 months. He had started sitting on his own and had started crawling, so introducing different textures of food was very easy for me.  How do we introduce fruits and vegetables to infants?  A new mother always has a question, how do we start solids and introduce new fruits land vegetables to them. Without the fear of they chocking on the food or vegetables or fruits. The product I used to introduce fruits and boiled or raw vegetables was the  Fruit and Food Nibbler. Not that I didn't use other utensils, I too used a bowl, a small spoon to introduce ot...
