TO AUTUMN & CHRISTMAS 2020!

Bite Sized News

It’s good to be back!

Back in March, we were faced with a gut-wrenching decision. The lockdown had not yet been announced, and no one knew what was going to happen. We were due to go to print with our spring magazine in two days’ time and we didn’t know what to do... should we carry on or pull the issue?

Run Your Own Magazine 11

With hindsight, the answer was obvious - and I’m happy we made the right call. Had we gone to print, the magazine would’ve been out of date before it came off the press, and we wouldn’t have been helping anyone.

Instead, the Toddle About magazine went into an enforced hibernation.

But we didn’t. We carried on working and focussed instead on how we could help parents digitally, and we hope you enjoy the improvements we have made to the Toddle About website!

Discipline It’s probably safe to say that we all want our children to be kind, show respect and share nicely.

And it’s down to us - we are our child’s first teacher - but how can we teach them how to behave in this way? I think as a parent, one of our greatest fears is that we’ll screw this up.

There is a lot of conflicting advice there about this, so we asked Norland nanny Louenna Hood to share her top tips for 3-5 year old children:

Let Them be Silly and Loud Sometimes.

I try to let the children be as free as possible to use up all the energy they have so they don’t start climbing the walls. Fresh air has a big positive impact on children’s behaviour, so try and let them run and shout and be silly when they can so when behaviour does matter, you can ask them to stop jumping around without feeling guilty.

Just say No. Don’t be scared of parenting, or of saying no for fear of hurting your child’s feelings or ruining your friendship bond. By giving children everything they want, we make them miserable, greedy and unlikeable.

Don’t Scare Them.

Have Rules and Stick to Them.

We want their individual personalities to shine through so they develop into the characters they are. Your children should never be scared of you or wonder what your reaction will be.

My rules are that we eat well, sleep well, have good manners and be kind to others.

Be Firm and Fair but Don’t Negotiate.

Stop Problems Before They Happen.

We don’t want to constantly say no. If your child knows what your rules are, they won’t even need to ask. Be firm and fair and make sure you’re always reasonable. No should mean no, not maybe. Don’t let the situation go on and don’t negotiate.

Consider your child’s situation: if they are overtired they’ll be irritable, and if they are hungry they will probably act up. Try and put yourself in your child’s shoes and always think ahead so these situations don’t arise.

Be Consistent.

Children must know your reaction will be the same every time in that situation. For example, if a parent laughs at a behaviour one day, then tells the child off the next for the same thing the next day, this can be very confusing for them.

When They Hit You.

Always Give a Reason.

Explain to your child why they can’t have / do something so they know you are being reasonable – there should always be a reason.

Having graduated from the prestigious Norland College over 15 years ago, Louenna Hood has worked with a number of high-profile families and helped to enrich the lives of the many young children she has worked with.

If you are holding your child when they hit you, put them down on the floor and tell them in a stern manner that you are very upset and they must never hit anyone. Ask them to apologise and don’t pick them up until the moment is completely over.

For more parenting advice, download the Nanny Louenna app from the App Store or Google Play.

Subscriptions start from £4.99 a month.

GLUTEN FREE

HALLOWEEN CUPCAKES Cupcakes (serves 8): » 250g Gluten free plain flour » 2tbsp Cocoa powder » 1tsp Baking powder » 100g Softened butter » 150g Caster sugar » 1tbsp Red food colouring » 2 Eggs » 150ml Milk

Chocolate Frosting & DEcoration: » 55g Softened butter » 90g Milk or Dark cooking chocolate » 215g Icing sugar » 2 Drops of Vanilla Extract/Essence » 88ml Milk » 2 packs of Fruit Bowl Peelers » 1 bag Fruit Bowl Yogurt coated raisins, halved widthways » 1 bag Fruit Bowl Fruit Flakes cut into pieces

CUPCAKES: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ Gas Mark 4. 2. Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and mix together. 3. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, red food colouring, eggs and milk.

Mix well. 4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Mix well. 5. Pour the mixture into cupcake cases. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until the cakes are soft and springy to touch. Place on a wire rack to cool.

FROSTING: 1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of boiling water or in a microwave. 2. In a bowl, combine the icing sugar, vanilla and 60ml of the milk. 3. Add the melted chocolate mixture and the remaining milk a little at a time until the desired consistency is achieved. Let the icing stand until spreadable (the frosting will thicken as it cools). 4. Once the cupcakes are cooled, pipe or spread the frosting onto the cupcakes.

DECORATION: 1. To make the body, take 1 strand from a Peeler and roll into a spiral. Secure with a blob of icing and place on the cupcake.

2. To make the legs, cut Peeler pieces into 5cm strips (8 in total), position them on the cake coming out of the spider body. 3. Add 2 Yogurt halves and 2 fruit flakes for the eyes.

HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR CHILD’S

Dummy

Laura Smart, dentist at Birmingham Dental Hospital and Leicester CDS-CIC, says: “Children who use a dummy or suck their thumb are more likely to have problems with the way their teeth bite together than children who don’t. The risk of this happening increases the more the child uses a dummy and the older they are when they give the dummy up.”

The old saying: “Kids don’t come with a manual” does not ring truer when it comes to letting go of the dummy!

It’s understandable that our little ones will fiercely protect their dummy. Dummies are one of the only items in their life over which they have complete ownership. Adults and older siblings do not use or play with ‘their’ dummy.

The reality is that, with nearly 9 in 10 parents allowing their children to use a dummy and half using it for too long, many parents need help to encourage their toddlers say “toodle-loo” to their dummies.

Not only that, removing the dummy is perhaps one of the first real parenting hurdles. It can be the first time, as a parent, we’ve entered into negotiations.

We’re doing ‘the right thing’, but this can result in a lot of trauma (at the time) for your little one.

This same dilemma was faced by dad of two, and Dumbleby Forest author, Mark White. He said: “My wife and I had tried all sorts, but our daughters are incredibly strong-willed, and to be honest we took the path of least resistance for too long. They found it incredibly hard to say goodbye to the dummy and only did so after I created a magical world for the dummies to disappear to called Dumbleby Forest.”

It’s no surprise then, that so many of us cave to the toddler’s relentless requests for their dummy and subsequent upset if these are refused!

It’s recently been revealed that over half of us (52%) don’t know the right time for children to give up the dummy, putting teeth and speech development at risk.

SAFE DUMMY USE

The NHS advises parents should stop giving the dummy between 6 and 12 months old*. Using dummies after this can encourage an open bite, which is when teeth move to make space for the dummy. There is also a concern that it may also affect children’s speech development.

The rule of thumb is – children should not have a dummy once they are forming words.

But, nearly 1 in 5 men demonstrated a laissez faire approach to parenting, believing that children will let go of the dummy when they are ready to do so – avoiding the battle altogether! *

•

Never use a dummy with a neck cord or other attachments as this may lead to choking

•

Don’t force your baby to take a dummy or put it back in if your baby spits it out.

•

Don’t put anything sweet on the dummy.

•

Keep it as clean as possible by regularly sterilising as you would any other bottle or feeding teat.

•

Check dummies regularly as cracks, splits and holes can trap germs

HOWTO TOLOOK LOOKAFTER AFTER HOW

THEMENTAL MENTAL THE WELLBEING WELLBEING thewhole wholefamily family ofofthe

By Dr Lynda Shaw, neuroscientist,

By Dr Lynda Shaw, neuroscientist, business psychologist change specialist. business psychologist andand change specialist.

COVID-19 and the uncertainty around it is alarming for all of us and, for many, our anxiety levels are on high alert - and this includes our children. So how can we keep our anxiety in check and get the balance right?

Uncertainty is difficult - The brain finds ‘the unknown’ the hardest to deal with and research shows that uncertainty is scarier and more alarming than known outcomes, even if they are bad outcomes. Be truthful with your children but share with them age appropriate information.

Accept that this is a time when it is hard to make plans and always be able to stick to them. Control and organise what you can to a reasonable extent if it brings you comfort but don’t fixate and go to extremes. Use language with your children such as “we hope that will be able to do XX, but as you know at the moment we need to be flexible” and give them something they can count on doing such as having a great time doing something as a family at home together.

Anxiety is bad for our health - Whilst this is a difficult time, make time for activities that relax you and release feel good hormones like yoga, reading or cooking. Turn off news alerts on your phone if they are making you feel on edge.

Make good use of the time. Is it time to do some gardening together, paint a fence, shed or child’s bedroom, do fitness videos that the children can join in, things you said you never had time to do?

Alternatively, just spend time relaxing and being in the moment with your family.

Reduced socialising can obviously deeply affect our mood. Humans are social creatures and when we hang out with people we like, feel good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin are released and reward neural activity is stimulated in the brain. This is often even more true for children. Stick carefully to social distancing rules but also communicate with others in a variety of virtual ways as you probably have already been doing. Thinking of social distancing activities that may be a bit different such as fishing, football, book a narrow boat, falconry, visiting national trust properties, horse-riding or playing tennis. It all counts to fill the soul a little.

We often see the very best in people in very difficult times. Think if you can help any family members, friends or neighbours in any way, whether that is going for the shop for them or picking up meds. See if you can involve the children too. Can they clean the neighbour’s car or weed the garden?

Catastrophising and panicking about what might happen rarely helps. Chronic panic causes you to live in a state of trepidation and confusion. Don’t let your imagination run wild and accept that some things in life are unknown and unpredictable. Be confident that you have the strength and versatility to overcome challenges when required and that this difficult period will pass in time.

Oct-Dec 2020 Toddle About Warwickshire 17

Being panicked makes people susceptible to ‘fake news’ – when the brain perceives a threat, it works very hard to neutralise the hazard and make you safe again. Stress hormones decrease your rationality and critical thinking and make you more susceptible to inaccurate information. Avoid listening to other’s ‘strong opinions’ and check government websites for official advice. Talk to your children about what is fact and what isn’t known at this point.

Prioritise self-care like eating well, exercising, virtual socialising, doing your hobby, planning nice things to do when this is all over, reducing your time on social media and sleeping as best you can.

Have a positive mindset – Research shows that positivity is also contagious so approach your home isolation period with as much zeal and positivity as possible, and your family members, especially children, will catch on to the positive vibes.

Research also shows that outcomes are better for positive people.

Make sure you go outside each day – Spend at least 20 minutes a day outside, ideally in the morning to help maintain your circadian rhythm and to get a dose of vitamin D. Open the windows and get some fresh air coming in. If you have big open spaces around your house, go for an invigorating walk.

Anxious minds do not sleep well - Sleep loss only adds to the stress which is the very thing stopping us sleeping. When you are overtired you have trouble concentrating, are less productive and feel irritable. Don’t watch or read about the news just before bed if the content is making you feel dismayed. Equally don’t talk to your children about worrying things before bed. Have a relaxing bedtime routine revolving around reading a book, a warm bath, or a bit of mindfulness.

Fear can be transmitted to other people – Chronic anxiety about potential future dangers can cause low mood, short tempers and grouchiness. Children in particular will pick up on your anxious mood and sense of dread which can trigger their own feelings of stress. Be aware that this happens and control your emotions, so they don’t control you or infiltrate those around you.

Limit your time on social media – Your teenagers in particular may feel more than ever that their phone is their portal to the outside world. However, it is well documented that spending significant amounts of time on social media can increase feelings of isolation and loneliness. Advise them to limit themselves to 30 minutes of social media a day and avoid it at night.

Cherish some family time – It’s harder to go the same day trips you enjoyed before COVID arrived, but that also gives you the opportunity to enjoy some real quality time together with the people you live with. Make a plan for each day so you don’t lounge on the sofa too much. Be creative and come up with fun activities that you are normally too busy for like board games, baking together, making a beauty salon and painting nails or a den to hang out in, start an ambitious art project together or watch some classic family films together with a bag of popcorn or even enjoy a nice lie-in.

Don’t descend into treating each other badly – During times of confusion and anxiety our stress hormones rise, we sleep less and consequently can be more irritable and shorter tempered. Be aware that this happens and make a conscious effort to smile and be positive. Positivity also rubs off on people, so smile and find things to laugh about, one of our best healers.
