KIDDIE PROOFING YOUR RELATIONSHIP

Anyone who ever uttered the words ‘let’s have a baby, it will bring us closer together’ has clearly never endured the parenting tag team during endless night feeds.

Having a baby is undoubtedly a wonderful occasion - it’s life changing in so many beautiful ways. But it’s also mind-blowingly challenging in others, and it’s important that every parent feels able to say and acknowledge the highs and the lows that being mummy and daddy often brings. To say it’s a ‘rollercoaster’ is perhaps a very clichéd phrase, but I think it’s the perfect description for what it often feels like – hurtling down the parenting tracks, unable to get o , and often looking windswept and shell-shocked to boot. It’s fair to say that the role of being a parent takes over your life, your emotions … and your bank balance! It also has an enormous impact on your relationship.

According to some reports, 1 in 5 couples break up within the rst year of having a baby, and as sad as that statistic is, I can understand why. Babies need constant attention. They rely on us adults solely for their survival, and that’s more than a little overwhelming. Our partner and our relationship often get shoved right down the pecking order of priorities.

So if your relationship is feeling the strain, that’s OK. It’s normal. But this is the time to take stock and work out ways to ensure that you can keep some time and energy aside for each other - otherwise you run the risk of turning into glori ed roommates.

Now, it’s not all about sex. In fact, sex is most often the last thing on a couple’s mind in the rst few months – particularly for mum who has been through the birthing process – and the ‘right time’ to get your sex life back on track will be di erent for every couple.

A good tip is to actually take sex o the table for a bit, and instead work on emotional and physical intimacy. This could be hugging, enjoying a little shoulder or foot rub, curling up together on the sofa, chatting, and having a no pressure kiss.

Just being intimate with your partner, letting them know how much you love them, appreciate them, and respect them can make all the di erence for a mutually happy couple, particularly when you’re feeling exhausted and desperate for some adult time away from the nappy changing.

Find some time each day to be together as a couple, even it’s only 10 minutes! Make sure you make it a priority to re-connect, to share your feelings and news, to let each other know you’ve got their back. It can make all the di erence to keep the ‘couple cup’ full and ful lled.

Anna Williamson is the resident relationship expert at The Relationship Place. If you and your relationship would like some more help, support and advice, check out therelationshipplace.co.uk and try out her Couples and Kids Plan, where you can access video coaching tutorials and much more.

Have Our Children Lost Their Imagination

In an age where technology is so heavily integrated into our lives, have our children forgotten how to use their imagination?

Let me take you back - it’s 1997, it’s the end of another busy week at school, and my resident Beanie Babies are preparing for their usual Friday night disco. The posters are up and everyone is excited to let loose and unwind!

My brother’s Action Man is working security tonight, because last week’s disco ended in a bit of a tussle between the cat Beanies and dog Beanies, and you never know when someone is going to start some beef… Six-year-old me is having the time of her life.

Looking back, this was what childhood was all about for me - role play, imagination, creation.

But times are changing. For better or for worse, I can’t imagine my son engaging in much of this type of play. For his generation, it’s all tablets and smart phones - children have access to this technology before they’re even able to walk. Entertainment is ported straight into their brain, and they can simply disengage and let it happen.

And while the advances in technology have made our lives in nitely easier, I do wonder whether it’s really a good thing. Should our children be able to play, explore their own imagination and entertain themselves like we did? Or am I simply struggling to come to terms with a changing world?

Perhaps, instead of worrying, we should just encourage our children to ex their imaginations every now and again, instead of ghting the inevitable Here are some of my favourite ways to do this:

Arts and crafts - a fantastic and varied way to promote creativity and imagination in ways that your kids will love. It doesn’t have to get messy (if you’re anything like me, you like to avoid that where possible) - there’s always paper and crayons!

Outside play - another great idea for showing kids that there is so much fun to be had away from a screen! There are plenty of ways for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors - nature walks, bug hunts, star gazing - it really is a great big world out there. Books – are so good for promoting imagination and independence in children. Story books are the windows to other worlds and can take children on endless adventures, and there are plenty of practical but fun books out there to inspire you with di erent games to play and activities to explore.

Join The Debate!

What do you think? Do kids have less imagination these days? Should we encourage more ‘traditional’ play, or should we embrace technology and the bene ts it brings?

Tell us what you think in our poll at www.toddle.fun/vote

We’ll share the results with you in our next issue!

Kat Walsh is the author of the book ‘The Box’, which is heavily themed around imaginative play. If you’d like to discover what adventures can be had with a box and some good old-fashioned imagination, buy from Amazon at https://amzn.to/3UqUQfC

My 4-year-old daughter is prone to over-thinking. She tends to worry about things and, like most children her age, she has trouble dealing with her feelings. So, I was excited to review this product. The Worry Plaque is shaped like a section of a log - to activate the plaque, your child must place their hand into the hand print shape on the front. When it glows red, your child can tell their worry to the fairies. Then the hand print turns green, indicating that the fairies have heard the worry and taken it away. As my daughter used it, her little face lit up, and she told me, ‘Mummy it really works!’ For me, having spent countless nights trying to help my daughter deal with very real anxieties, this simple but e ective plaque is absolutely genius.

What a great idea! This role play toy comes ‘ atpacked’ as a big book so it’s easy to transport and, when open, it turns into a pop-up ice cream shop. My son spent most of his time as the ice cream shop owner, making us ice creams and excitedly asking us what toppings we would like. Toppings included fruit, chocolate, sweets and multiple avours of sauces. The sides of the pop-up shop can be used to put scoops of ice cream on images of cones, either one or multiple scoops on top of each other. It even has a check-out till image so the children can pretend to press buttons and take payment.

The only limitation is that there are only a couple of lollies and no place to really place them. Another recommendation would be to have some play money. This product can also be used as a book. I love how colourful and engaging the book is and enjoyed seeing my son talking about the pictures. There are also questions written throughout the product to engage children and get them thinking: for example, “What colour is the strawberry avour?”

Loved using this and so did my son. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it!
