Building the best environment for your children is quite difficult due to health and safety concerns. Obviously, you want the best environment for your child and want to prevent every possible issue that could arise and possibly hurt anyone. Planning all these things is not easy, a lot of thought needs to be put into it to make sure your child gets the best and the safest environment to explore their creativity and learn new things.
Choosing Age-Appropriate Toys, Books and Equipment
First and foremost, be careful about the toys. All toys come with an age restriction. Make sure those are age-appropriate. without sharp edges or broken parts that could potentially hurt your child. Try to avoid toys that involve electricity or batteries. Kids tend to put toys in their mouths. This is why you need to clean them once in a while. Avoid fur as kids might swallow it. Also, that highly depends on how old is your child. You have to keep an extra eye out for toddlers compared to preschoolers.
Avoiding Health and Safety Hazards
In order to prevent any health hazard, you have to become a child. See it from their point of view, anything that pinches or cuts you is definitely a red sign. Tie up all hanging cords and curtains so they are out of children’s reach. Locks on cupboards or shelves. Securely cover all outlets, not in use. Make sure that children cannot reach cords and outlets that are being used.
Cleaning materials, aerosol cans, medications, toiletries, room sprays, and other potentially toxic materials. Dangerous items such as sharp objects and plastic bags should also be secured out of reach. Make sure all windows have locks that are hard to open.
Read with them The message this sends: I like to read. I don’t just tell you this and grade you on how much you read, I read side-by-side with you. You see my facial expressions as I struggle to understand something difficult and you see when I feel emotion at a sad or funny part. I am a reader, too.
Want To Raise Happy Kids? Be Affectionate I’m not a person who overflows with love all the time with the exception of children. I am always hugging them, holding them, cuddling them. Telling how much I love them. Kids only know one thing, that is to love. They reunite us with emotions that we forget in our everyday routine that is pure love and care. Don’t ruin it for them, in fact, keep on encouraging them to love everyone. Don’t let that purity die, be loveable and show them how much you love them.
It generates a positive vibe in your household which is good for their environment and upbringing. Open up about your problems with them, express all your feelings in front of them so that they can do the same. Build that connection by thinking of them as your own friends.
Don’t hide those tears or sadness, teach them that it’s okay to feel emotions and teach them how to deal with them. I know it’s hard when your child has hurt your feelings or has broken something or done something wrong but this is when they need your love the most. Throw your ego and show affection. Realize that you too have made mistakes and at that point, all you needed was someone to tell you that it’s okay. Be that person for your child.
Make Your Kids Feel Special Everyday!
Home is where the heart is. It’s true. Home is where your child should feel the most special and cared for. Spending time with them and doing what they like is equally if not more important than showing affection. Take time out for dinners and play board games or go out with them on swings. Family time is important. For them and for you. Handling kids is not easy but they are the best stress reliever, trust me on that. This would mean the world to them.
Personally,
My father is a doctor, so obviously I never got to spend that much time with him. However, every Monday he buys me my favorite food. Saturday nights were for horror or action movies. My Father gives me a card every year for my birthday where he writes the cheesiest things. Those 20 cards are more precious to me than anything in this entire world.
It doesn’t matter how old I get, they will always hold a special place in my heart. Little things matter, pay attention to them. One smile from you can light up your child’s whole day. You are the most important thing to them. Feel special and make them feel special as well.
