How Do You Cultivate a Conscience in Your Child?

January 27, 2015 by heatherss 9 Comments

When I was a child in school my mother used to sign my homework diary weeks in advance. It used to frustrate my teachers no end. They did not understand that my mom trusted me to get the work done and saw no reason to check up on my daily tasks. My mother had cultivated a conscience in her child and … [Read more...]

Stop Yelling and Start Connecting

December 30, 2013 by heatherss 14 Comments

There I was. I was doing it AGAIN. Yelling at Nicky. We were messing around on the bed and he was having fun taking the Calpal bottle in and out of the box. All of a sudden he just threw it at me, hitting my chin. And my response? To yell. "Aaah! Nicholas you can't DO THAT!" A few seconds later, … [Read more...]

October 17, 2013 by heatherss 19 Comments

I have been giggling like a teenager as I read this book on my IPad and follow Nicholas around the house. It is like a much needed release. I am sure I have had a few meltdowns in my time. The one in recent recollection is what I mentioned in the previous post. Due to Nicky not going to sleep … [Read more...]

My Child Won’t Eat (Book Review)

July 13, 2013 by heatherss 13 Comments

  It is rather an exasperating endeavor trying to get your child to eat. Ask me, I know. Some days I only get him to eat two spoons of yoghurt and some of his pouch. He doesn’t like the puree I made for him. He cries when I try and put him in the high chair. I have now officially given up on … [Read more...]

Baby Led Weaning

October 11, 2012 by heatherss 15 Comments

  I learnt a few things from this Baby Led Weaning book. But first let's start with the question: when is the right time to start solids? It seems to depend on who you are asking. The nurse at the clinic where I have been weighing and vaccinating Nicky was quite adamant that I should … [Read more...]
