I think I am lucky that I am surrounded with supportive friends. Also, I have learned so many things when I was still in my birth country on how to raise a child. They say, don’t criticize your child’s works. If you are standing over your child and passing judgment on the results of what they do, they are not going to feel comfortable with their creativity. Children will eventually develop the ability to evaluate their own work and others work. Let them feel relaxed and free to use arts and crafts as they see it. When a child is given an environment that makes her feel free to be creative, they are going to open up their imagination and produce the best results. I believe, there is no wrong way to draw a house, color a tree or play with a toy. For example, if your child colors the leaves blue, and the sky green, don’t tell her it is wrong. Let her explore her toys in different ways, like squeezing, shaking, hitting, even if they are not meant to be played in such a way. Give the child the freedom to express her creative ideas the way she sees it.
I have that in mind and I have to let myself remind that over and over again. :-)

Wrong. Not only are temper tantrums normal, but also they serve a healthy purpose. For young children with limited language skills, these bursts are often the only way to communicate their needs. In addition, temper tantrums provide our child with a much-needed outlet to vent their strong emotions of anger and frustration.
According to experts or pediatricians, for most parents, parenting knowledge comes from two main sources: how they were raised and common knowledge gleaned from media and the advice of other well-meaning people. Some of this information will be useful, but at times, it may be based on outmoded views, different beliefs, and even faulty research. Not all of what we have heard about temper tantrums may be true, and not all of it applies to you and your family.
Temper tantrums are not bad, and neither are the children who have them.
Temper tantrums are not planned events. With rare exception, our child does not set out to willfully misbehave when she has a temper tantrum. If we help our child acquire self-control as she learns appropriate ways to express her strong emotions, you should expect her to become a happy and well-adjusted teen and adult.

Being a parent, we are expected to know intuitively what is best for our child. It is true; there is no one in the world who will know your child’s needs better than you do. Aside from the food that we gave to them, we also make sure that our child is in a safe, and so, healthy environment is one or the most important way to ease our mind.
By the way, I have found a while ago a very cute nursing pillow for babies. It has a unique shape purposely designed for babies to ensure that the baby is comfortable when sleeping or lounging. The soft side is very comfy for babies, while the firm side will give extra support for mommy and her nursing baby. The mombo nursing pillow comes in different colors and designs that suit to our baby’s gender. And this is the only nursing pillow that has a vibrant feature to ensure that the baby will have a great calming, restful, gentle experience while relaxing.
Honestly, I liked buying this mombo pillow for my little princess. Since, pink is my favorite color for her, I would like to shop the pink Comfort & Harmony mombo in Butterfly Whispers Deluxe Nursing Pillow. By the way, you can find this product at Toys R Us (and Babies R Us). If you have babies, toddlers at home, you might want to check out the other mombo products available and start shopping for your kid’s stuff.
