Like Mom
When your 2 year old toddler wants to help you out in the
kitchen, let her do that. Give her pots and pans that are
safe to play with and create a little stove while gluing 2
red circles of paper to a chair or a box. You daughter will
feel so happy to be able to "cook" together with you. Ask
your husband to let your son participate in constructing
something, like a kite, a birdcage or a birdfeeder. He can
hold tools or get a kit of plastic tools and let him feel
the joy of being able to do what daddy does. Such activities
are a part of learning process about gender differences as
well as building skillset for several future activities.
Hair
There is a myth in some Asian countries that you shouldn't
cut baby's hair until the child is one-year old. Then myth
claims that at one year of age you should shave her head
because hair will grow thicker afterwards. This is not true.
If baby's hair is getting uncomfortably fussy and long you
should definitely cut it even before she is one year old.
There is no need to shave your child's head because it will
not make your baby's hair grow thicker. Thickness of hair is
determined genetically, thus it is inherited. It is easier
to manage short hair for a very young baby than long hair.
Memory
Why does it often seem that your 2 year old toddler ignores
what you ask from her. You just told her not to draw on a
wall with a marker and here she is again doing the same
thing. Well, she is actually not ignoring your requests, she
just forgot them! At this age children's' brain is not yet
capable to save, store and recreate information like a grown
up person's brain. Your child's memory is short term and
everything that catches her attention overwhelms her
completely. If she tries to remember one thing, then the
other thing becomes forgotten. Therefore, keep this in mind
before scolding your little one.
Discipline
Restricting your child from exploring his environment can
result in lack of self confidence later in life. It is easy
for parents to put their children into a playpen and have
their little explorers sit in one place. Parents, however,
should be aware that only through curious examination and
attempts trying, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing,
as well as seeing your negative or positive reactions to
their actions, can children learn. Thus, put all the things
you don't want your child to reach somewhere he cannot
reach. That beautiful flower pot can travel to the top
shelf, and your little fragile vase from the corner can find
its new place on top of the refrigerator. In such a way
there will be less "nos" in your child's life and more joy
and freedom of exploration.
