Many parents worry if their children are happy with them. I worry too. I ask myself every day this question because sometimes I think that I’m not very good mother. I think every parent know what I mean.

But the answer is that we don’t have to be an expert in child psychology to make our child happy. You don’t need to invent or buy any special things. It’s even impossible.

I’ve read many articles about making a child happy and, comparing them with my own experience, I can tell that the most important is to be happy yourself. If you are not happy Nothing, nothing will be able to make your toddler happy.

Parents – people number 1 for all children. Children of all age always feel when parents are stressed and angry or irritated. We are role model for our children. If we happy and smile they happy and smile too.

It doesn’t mean that we have to create Special Perfect Reality and hide all negative things from our children. One day they will know the truth.

But the most important is to show them that if even we meet something sad in our life we should show how to deal with sadness and lot’s of other unpleasant thing.

The other important igredient is patience. This is really what I have lack. I know I’m not the worst but still have to improve myself.

Any parent can lay the groundwork for a lifetime of happiness. I’m trying to do it every day.
If you are not sleeping yet, thanks for attention.

I don’t have a photo of my own Christmas tree yet because in our country we have it on New Year. Also the difference in religious calendar. We are orthodox and celebrate Christmas on 7th of January:)

But I don’t see it as a reason not to share your joy and fun about your Christmas traditions. I love them though always follow mine:)

If you read this it means we have much in common. We love children!

Not only ours but all:) If you share this love with me we can understand each other from the first glance.

If all people share our love there would be no wars… But let’s speak about this later:)

Celebrate your wonderful holidays with relatives and friends while I’m waiting for mine:)

What activity will be interesting for those always busy little hands?
I can share with you what we like to do with my toddler. But I think older children also will enjoy it.

Ruler And Some Pens - Fun Never Ends

She was so surprised she can draw shapes with rule. Amazing. So much fun with so simple things. After drawing she likes to paint them.

Create Your Unique Toys with Plasticine

Little hands are working hard. Very good training for fine motor skills.

Mosaic Is Something New And So Interesting

Though she can’t do patterns she loves to puts the pieces into the holes:) I love every activity which keep her busy at least for 15 minutes:)

We started to read for Sofia very early. It’s really amazing activity cause it never becomes boring. It become a habit for us and we always buy new books for her.

I don’t know other activity that can have so many positive  features. Even if you don’t know all of them keep reading to your child and you’ll see the difference.

How did reading help my daughter in her development?

• build her vocabulary. Now it’s quite big for her age. As it appeared even some grown-ups doesn’t know who is panda and koala:) I’m not sure if I knew it in her age.
• make easy to remember rhymes in stories. Repeating rhyming phrases is great exercise for memory and little tongue. Now she knows about 50 poems and songs. We didn’t learn them by purpose it is just the consequence of reading. Isn’t it great?
• She learned about the structure of stories from books. She easily retells the stories and fairy tales.
• become interested with letters. Almost all letters of alphabet is learnt. We are training to read the words.
• She use “storybook language” in her everyday conversations. Oh, it’s really funny when she name her toys or even us as a characters of books.
• teach to ask questions. Can you imagine a toddler without questions?

I tell you, it’s not so easy to read stories again and again. She really enjoys repetitions. Can you read a book for one hundred times without any break?:)

She loves when we read using different voices for different characters. It’s so much fun!

It’s amazing activity for whole family and sometimes it turns to snuggling

All toddlers are very curious and they love to touch all buttons they find in house. It’s almost impossible to stop this but you can use this to teach them something new and very important.

I allow my daughter to type on my computer (of course I don’t leave her alone with it) because with help of typing we learned lots of letters. It’s really amazing but during typing she can remember lots of things I tell her for the first time. Why don’t use this?

Besides it great when she learns the names of the keys. Don’t forget about very important fine motor skills. They are also trained because little fingers are working. Nowadays toddlers are smarter than we were because they have more opportunity to develop their talents.
