What to Do When Kids Fight for Attention

My husband and I learned soon into the process of parenting two children (which soon multiplied into four children) that each needed, wanted and deserved his or her own special time. In the multi-tasking mayhem of a typical family day, it is simply impossible to dedicate quantity based special time to each of our children each day.

Mom, I’m an Aimer!

Mom, I’m an Aimer!

Pee, and the washing thereof, has permanently discolored a portion of our powder-blue hue. It makes me smile every time I see it. Children learn by making mistakes. We, as parents, have to let our children make those mistakes even if we can correct them before they happen.

Benefits of Play

Babies love to be played with and also should be encouraged to play alone. Although not yet capable of engaging in play with other children until the age of 12-18 months, babies love to watch older children play and be the object of (massive amounts of) affection.

That Mom

May 31, 2011 by PLAYTHISWAY Leave a Comment

When my first set of twins was born seven years ago, I was super-duper organized. I was That Mom – the one you hate because she sent her birth announcements out before the babies were a week old (with pictures). The one who made homemade baby food, took and sent out pictures of every baby moment, and had the perfectly adorable nursery decor and coordinating twin outfits (with bows) for every occasion. I would have really annoyed the me of today.
