Stylish Vintage Baby Presents: It's All In a Day's Work... for Toddlers!

Even toddlers can help with household chores if you keep the tasks simple and fun. The earlier that children learn to help out at home, the easier it will be for them to complete chores on their own, in the future. Chore time can be fun if you complete tasks together with some music to motivate you. Make a game of completing dreary tasks and enjoy this time with your little ones. Keep in mind that children tend to have short attention spans, so you can set a timer and make a race of completing some tasks like cleaning up toys or putting dirty clothing in the hamper. You can encourage this positive behavior by providing your child with their own miniature vacuum cleaner, toy brooms, dustpans and aprons. When you take the time to make work fun, it doesn't even seem like work and it is a great way to interact with your children.

Here are some simple, toddler-appropriate chores that you can try out with your little ones:

  • Picking up toys, books and clothing
  • Feeding & caring for the family pet
  • Wiping up spills & messes
  • Dusting
  • Carrying & putting away grocery items
  • Setting & clearing the table
  • Making the bed
  • Raking leaves
  • Shoveling snow

You can encourage your child to do chores according to their age and ability with the use of chore charts. Marking completed chores each day with a sticker, a check mark or a magnet is a simple way of tracking your child's successful completion of each task and it never hurts to reward good behavior with a trip to the local park, the library or even an ice cream treat. When you reinforce positive behavior with a reward, your child will grow to appreciate the value of hard work!

postheadericon Father Knows Best: Instilling Vintage Values In Your Kids

12:40 | Posted by Stylish Vintage Baby | | Edit Post
Stylish Vintage Baby loves all things vintage including vintage values. Children with a strong character are better equipped for handling issues like bullying and resisting negative influences. When parents work to instill timeless values foundational to character development, children grow up with a positive value system, allowing them to grow into happier people and better citizens. 
 
Some parents think that it's too early to teach values to a toddler or preschooler, but research shows that these values can be instilled in children before their fifth birthday and it is possible to make them stick.


What are some of the key foundational values to help build your child's character?

  • Kindness, compassion & empathy
  • Gratitude, forgiveness & honesty
  • Integrity, patience & confidence
  • Responsibility, generosity & determination
  • Openness, fairness & confidence

How can parents instill these values in their children?

  • Model the behavior in everyday life and teach by example.
  • Get your child involved in community endeavors and volunteer work.
  • Show respect for authority.
  • Apologize and make amends when the need arises.
  • Talk to your children and openly share your emotions.
  • Set boundaries, communicate expectations and set limits.
