There are many different theories and methods that can be used to make the task of raising your child an easier one.
Some of these methods are useful and some can be quite controversial. However, at the end of the day, there is no single right way to raise a child.
Parenting is a delicate process as we all know; therefore, thorough research is encouraged before implementing any form of method to assist parenting.
When it comes to their children’s sleep, many parents are unsure of when, where and how much is required. This often leads to children being in control of their sleep patterns (or lack thereof) which can result in some very unwanted side effects.
Sleep training your toddler is highly important in developing healthy sleep patterns which will play a key role in other areas of your child’s life.
The world has a tendency to use academic results to gauge intelligence while overlooking one of the most important things your child can ever learn which is emotional intelligence.
Social development lays down an everlasting foundation for emotional development, both of which are delicate processes that directly influence each other and help shape your child into the person they will one day become.
Emotion is the driver behind behaviour. All people act and behave in a manner that is determined by what emotions they are feeling. While this is also true of adults it is especially important when dealing with young children.
There is no schedule or timetable for how all children should grow. In fact, there is a huge amount of variance in the pace that each child develops at.
A classic example of this is the age at which babies start to walk. Some babies start to walk at the age of 9 months where others only take the first step at the age of 15 months.
In both of these cases, the babies are within the range of typical development and this is completely normal.
Toe walking is the act of walking on the toes or ball of the foot and is often seen in very young children. Most children toe walk at some point during their childhood, however, they will normally outgrow this by the age of 5.
The word reinforce is used to describe the strengthening of an object or concept. In child psychology, reinforcement refers to a kind of interaction between you and your child that will foster or increase the chance of them behaving in a certain way.
It’s time to talk about Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder– a disorder becoming more and more prevalent among children today.
Attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are both disorders that affect one's ability to focus.
however, there are slight differences between ADD and ADHD.
Separation anxiety is brought on when your little one doesn't feel safe.
Any event that might have made your child uneasy, whether minor or traumatic, can cause separation anxiety disorders in children.
Some parents will immediately recognise the cause of this uneasiness, in other cases, it won't be so obvious.
