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

Father Knows Best: Instilling Vintage Values In Your Kids
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.
