A little bit about me

Child philosophy
My experience, and as a mother and grandmother, is to not give in to or reward temper tantrums.  In my experience, I choose to wait it out…. I LISTEN to my children and speak back to them.  In my experience there is often (not always) something else causing them to become so upset.  Tired, hungry, upset about something else.  I just need to listen….  Depending on the age I may try to distract them with one of there toys (we likely already brought with us.)
How are you going to help my baby, who has been with very few strangers, cope with the separation anxiety that may happen?
In the ideal we will have a short transition period, where your baby can become familiar with me with the security of mom/dad nearby.  This would include short periods where mom/dad leave and then return. During these periods your baby will become accustomed to their regular routines, albeit with a different adult.  In my experience babies and young children are so self-focused, when we maintain consistency addressing their needs, they are less anxious.

How we should spend a typical day. I must consider your parenting style.  We should avoid one “parental” direction during the day, and another at night.  Perhaps you want your children outside getting dirty, rain or shine?  Perhaps you encourage structured “screen” time?  (Though most likely a balance of both…)

Learning age appropriate meal preparation.  Younger kids learn to set the table (plastic cups, nothing sharp or as is age appropriate), measuring, mixing… nothing hot.  Older kids can do more.  Always supervised.
I enjoy reading to younger children.  We don’t need to follow the story as written either.  We add sounds and personalities.  Maybe act out some of the scenes?  Wherever their imagination leads us…
I think we should enjoy at least a couple of hours each day outside.
