Children use art as a newfound way to express what they like, who they are, and how they see the world around them. It goes beyond replicating a flower or cat shape, which is very important in itself, but instead by creating an art piece they are learning to be themselves.
Teaching toddlers to eat healthy food can be tough. It’s no secret that they tend to favor sweets and snacks over a plate of veggies. However, if your child eats too many unhealthy foods now, this can harm your child’s health later and possibly cause lifelong diseases.
Music is more than entertainment. It’s a vital part of our lives since the moment we are born and our mother tries to calm us down by singing a lullaby. Music is present in almost every aspect of our lives such as theater, television, movies, holidays, celebrations, worship, and government and military ceremonies.
Be aware of your own reactions and fears. Children notice our anxiety through both verbal and nonverbal cues. Model healthy self-care by continuing to exercise, get adequate sleep, connect with others, and eat a nutritious diet. Children base their responses on those of the adults in their lives. They need a calm, reassuring perspective.
