Comments Off on Why Parenthood Is Like An Amusement Park

Parenthood is tough. You have to do what’s best for your child while also making sure they’re raised with good morals. You need to contact someone like Modern Pediatrics when they become ill but not become too overprotective and get help every time they fall over. You have to shout at them when they’re being naughty while also loving them with all your heart. I was chatting to my friend about parenthood the other day and they compared it to an amusement park which was the perfect comparison. Over the past six years,...

This was my art project this morning and I have to admit, it looked a lot better in my head! I don’t think I used the correct paint and the white paint especially was awful to work with.

You can run, you can hide… but they will always find you! ...

Instead of putting your child in “Time Out,” try creating a Calm Down Space for them.  My daughter has ADHD and as many of you parents of special needs children know, our children have a lot of feelings, which can result in a lot of emotional meltdowns. Even if your child doesn’t have special needs, having a calming and comfortable place for them to go to when they are feeling overwhelmed or frustrated is a very good idea. Where should the Calm Down Space be? Decide with your child where their Calm Down Space will...
