Yelling at a child can have long-term psychologica Yelling at a child can have long-term psychological effects that hinder their development and psychological health. 

As parents, we need to understand that yelling is not an effective form of discipline and can lead to detrimental behavior patterns, such as decreased self-esteem and increased anxiety. 

In this youtube video, I share some tips that have been helping me to stop this bad habit. 

Sometimes, yelling is the only way to get your point across. No one likes the feeling, but sometimes it’s necessary! But there is a way to do it, so it’s not harmful.

Even when I’m not feeling my best I try to read Even when I’m not feeling my best I try to read at least 1 book to him a day.  Reading a book every day to your kid(s):

1️⃣ it’s time well spent
2️⃣ it builds imagination 
3️⃣ you get to know your child in a different way
4️⃣ helps with building language 
5️⃣ build core memories

Currently, he makes me read all 6 of the books we got during black history month 🤣. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It’s amazing what a 6-month difference makes 👶🏽👦🏽

The 1st time we went, the bowling alley had a kid ramp so Noah would use it to bowl.

The 2nd time we went, the ramp wasn’t available so we had to make do.

For the first 30 minutes, Noah didn’t understand why he couldn’t go down the ramp to roll the ball. He threw a FIT. 

But he adapted. With patience from me and the hubs, and positive reinforcement, Noah was able to spend the last 30 mins bowling.

Watching him build confidence and problem-solve in real-time makes it all worth it in the end. 

Am I the only one that still can’t believe they had a whole kid that is out here making full sentences and getting dressed on their own 😩

New parents, don’t forget to take time for yours New parents, don’t forget to take time for yourself! Here are 4 tips to help manage your time and care for yourself: 

➡️Set priorities - not everything is urgent. Do the most important things first and worry about everything else later.
➡️Plan ahead - you can’t do last minute things with kids, it’s just not happening. 
➡️Ask for help- it takes a village to raise a child but also to raise parents. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, people will ask you for help so give that same energy!
➡️Group similar tasks together - if you have to wash the bottles and dishes, just do them both at the same time.

Dealing with toddler tantrums can be a real challe Dealing with toddler tantrums can be a real challenge! Here are 3 easy tips: 

😌Stay Calm. You can manage your emotions. Your baby can’t. Yes, parenting can be frustrating but if you both are screaming and crying when who is making dinner?

😭Let them cry it out. Only do this after you have changed them, they are fed and have no fever!!

🤗 Stay present. Being mad about them doing baby stuff isn’t going to resolve the issue. Focus on the current issue so you aren’t bringing up past things that might affect the outcome.
