7 lazy moms parenting experiences that you should follow

Raising children can sometimes be a daunting task with many challenges. So learning from mothers who are famous for effective teaching methods is something that you should not ignore.  

Anna Bykova, author of An Independent Child or How to Become a Lazy Mother? (An Independent Child or How to Become “A Lazy” Mother) claims to be a lazy mother and she's not ashamed of it. What's more, the psychologist and author of some of these bestsellers even boast that a lazy mother can give her child the opportunity to learn on their own for better independence and maturity.

In fact, you need to understand that Anna's laziness does not mean she does nothing but pretends to be lazy so that she does not have to do everything for her, giving her the opportunity to do many things on her own. For example, it would be better if you let your 7 year old make an omelet for breakfast or make your own orange juice to improve your child's fine motor skills . Your next job is to clean the kitchen, wash the pan, dishes, orange extractor ... but not let your child see.

Your child is over 2 years old but does not want to potty every time he goes to the toilet. Therefore, you are looking for ways to give your baby a potty seat . In fact, getting your child to use a potty whenever he needs to go to the bathroom is a patient process.

To be able to give your baby potty training, you should:

Buy your baby a potty with the color or picture of your favorite animal.

Sit on the potty, or ask the baby's siblings or a neighbor's child to sit on the potty to show your baby that sitting on the potty isn't scary.

It should be noted that the potty must always be in the same place where the child can easily see, especially you should never force the child to sit in a potty if he does not like or is not ready to accept this.

When you start to practice, always cheer and praise your baby every time he sits on the potty. Do not scold your child when he puts an object or toy in the potty or the baby sits in the potty but refuses to take off his pants.

You could also try placing a teddy bear on a potty pot and tell stories about characters who always sit on the potty when wanting to go to the toilet so their clothes are clean.

And now it is your job to wait. We believe that with the above methods, your baby will happily sit in the potty whenever he wants to go to the toilet, which will happen in a day not far away.

Hide or store items that are at risk of injury such as knives, scissors, forks, chopsticks, pencils, medicines ... out of reach of children.

Scissors, knives ... are dangerous items for young children. However, if your child wants to touch them or wants to imitate you using them, let them do so under your guidance and control. Prohibiting a child from touching a potentially dangerous object only makes children more curious. So they do this without you.

Therefore, please guide your child to use these items safely. This is good for your child's development and you can take the time to do your own thing without worrying about your child's danger.

Help children calm down when angry

When your child is angry at something, distract him by showing him something is going on and asking him or her to do it together (if possible).

When you go out with your child, you should bring some balloons, if the child is angry, crying, you can blow the ball and give it to the child. In addition, you can also bring a few inexpensive small toys that can distract your baby from the anger.

If none of the methods above have worked, you can try the following tips:

• Help your child build a habit of calm down: The reality is that every family will have a habit of staying calm in its own way. You can help calm your baby, soothe his anger by hugging and patting him, wiping his face so he can calm down ...

• Ignore this angry behavior of your child: If you have tried the above methods but have not worked and the baby does not have any health risks (like epilepsy or asthma), you can leave your child alone. It's okay to cry out of anger or cry out of boredom. Note that you can leave them alone when they are angry, but never scold them or keep them alone in the room. Before ignoring your child's behavior, share your thoughts with them by telling them, like: I think you just want to cry now. When the baby is finished crying, let me know.

Also, one thing that you should keep in mind, is if it is time to eat but your baby is still busy playing refusing to eat, suggest that your baby give toys to rest or feed them. Example: If your child is playing a construction game, let him know that the construction team is about to have lunch break and he should go to lunch so he can work again. Try to talk so that your baby understands what you want instead of giving commands.

Experience of feeding sloths

If your child is a lazy child , at the next meal try forgetting to feed him. You will be surprised by this: Your baby will cling to you and nag to eat when a little overtime. In fact, consuming food is a basic human need so no child will starve themselves when their stomachs are screaming of hunger.

You may not believe it, but the reality is that it is children who know best when to eat and how much food. You see, no one can force you to eat unless you are hungry or really want to eat and so can your baby.

Therefore, if your baby is lazy to eat, you should:

Cook for your child to eat diverse and colorful foods and never try to persuade or force him to eat. Give your baby the chance to get really hungry. It is always better for children to eat when stimulated by their appetite if this is associated with positive emotions.

If your baby has grown up, invite your baby to go buy food and cook for the whole family. This gives your child a chance to be exposed to fresh foods, trying different ingredients. This partly helps stimulate the taste buds in children, helping children reduce anorexia.

If you want your child to eat more than their body needs, think again. Each child has a unique dietary needs and channel of development. Therefore, you cannot stereotype the eating needs or the growth of a baby's sibling or a neighbor's child to impose on the baby. Do not force the child to eat when they do not want it because this will only lead to the tendency of children to see eating as an enemy. Also, parenting a child by force is not the best way to show a parent's love.

Stimulate your child's appetite

The key to stimulating anorexia in anorexia is to make sure the child does not snack anything in between. Therefore, you should not buy a lot of junk food and then pile it up in the house to give your child the opportunity to eat at any time. Snacks are delicious, attractive, but poor in nutrients, not good for the health of children.

In addition, you should:

Try to avoid giving your child products that contain artificial additives and flavors. The reason is that if your child gets used to these foods, the taste of healthy foods you cook will not appeal to them anymore.

Let children eat less sweets, minimize the consumption of soft drinks.

Give your child the opportunity to get active instead of sitting in front of a television screen or playing games. Physical activities that your child can play with such as walking, jumping rope, cycling ... or simply playing with neighbors. This not only positively affects the child's appetite, but also helps children develop effective motor skills.

Your baby may have trouble getting to sleep as he gets used to crying when he has to go to bed. Simply because your children are used to seeing sleep as a punishment or they don't want to go to bed at the time that you have set.

Therefore, you can build a habit of going to bed on time for your baby with the following methods:

Body Orientation Therapy: Sit on the child's bedside chair, put one hand on the child's lap, gently stabilize the baby's leg, the other hand is on his shoulder. Then, you do a gentle swing or gently pat the baby's buttocks. This technique helps the baby achieve muscle relaxation, as well as calming the nervous system.

Imitate baby's breath: While placing your hand on your baby's body, you try to feel your baby's breath and imitate his breath. This will help you to breathe more deeply. Meanwhile, you are still patting or gently rocking the baby. Thanks to deep breathing and gentle swaying movements, babies can fall asleep quickly.

Read to your child with books that help with sleep: You can choose books with sleep-comforting content. When reading to your baby, you can insert relaxing sentences, comforting sleep such as: Then the bear says ... I will sit on a tree ... Eat my cake ... Lie on the grass ... Sleep noon… One thing to note is that you read slowly as you exhale, pause to make your breath become rhythmic and slowly read slowly. If you do it right, you will find your baby's breathing slowing down, and he will easily fall asleep.

For Vietnamese mothers, letting babies sleep alone is a bit of a challenge and a bit cruel. However, the child cannot sleep with you forever. Do you find that putting babies to sleep together causes a lot of inconveniences. Therefore, if you want to practice your baby to sleep separately, you should:
