Week 4 Menu for Your 1-Year-Old Toddler
Hey there, parenting pals! Navigating the world of toddlers can feel like a wild ride, especially with all their little quirks and mood swings. Remember, every child is unique, and it’s perfectly normal for your little one to have sudden changes in behavior.
If your toddler suddenly becomes shy around Grandma or has a meltdown in the grocery store because of unfamiliar faces, just gently reassure them and keep moving forward. It’s totally normal for kids this age to have fears of new people and situations. After a little patience and time, they often warm up again to their usual selves.
And what about bath time? If your little one is now fearful of getting in the tub, consider adjusting the water temperature, trying out some fun bubbles, or introducing new bath toys. Sometimes, a little distraction is all it takes to make bath time a hit again. Just keep in mind, even if your toddler seems super balanced, never leave them unattended in the tub!
Friendly Tip:
Comfort items like a favorite blanket or lovey can help ease your child’s anxiety. Bring these along when you head out to avoid potential meltdowns. If you can, grab a spare one, so you always have a backup on hand.
