Your 2-Year-Old Toddler Week 19 Menu
Hey there, fellow parent! It’s that time again—week 19 with your lively little one. It seems like just yesterday they were a tiny baby, and now they’re resisting naptime like it’s a sport! Gone are the days when you could enjoy a peaceful afternoon catching up on social media, organizing laundry, and evading those pesky Legos. Oh, the joys of parenthood!
If your toddler is putting up a fight against naptime, it might be time to consider a shift towards “quiet time.” Or as we jokingly call it, “please sit in front of the screen while I frantically clean the house so that my partner doesn’t question my productivity.” Create a cozy corner in your home filled with soft toys, fabric books, and a plush pillow. Let’s be honest, your child might ignore it completely, but hey, it’s worth a shot!
When quiet time doesn’t quite do the trick, screen time can be a lifesaver. Don’t let mommy guilt creep in— even the American Academy of Pediatrics has loosened its stance on screen time limits. The bottom line? Do what suits you and your family best. Just remember, a six-hour marathon of Thomas the Tank Engine might not be the best idea!
Friendly Tip:
If you find yourself feeling a bit exasperated with your toddler’s newfound aversion to naps, that’s totally normal. Moms need their moments of peace too! Look for little distractions throughout the day to carve out some time for yourself. For more parenting insights, check out this article on home insemination.
