The Best is Not Better than You: Life is Simple

These days, there is just so much out there for our kids. There are many new options, a lot of new technology, and so many “other better things” out there.  We tend to forget how simple life really is. We really don’t need much to live a happy life. We just need the basics. Well, asides from the underwear and the shoes, what are the basics?

Okay so we are about to get all “smarty pants” right now.

So, there was this guy named Abraham Maslow. He had this psychological theory on human motivation and stuff. Take a look at the pyramid.

It’s alright to feel as if you must give your children the best of everything. That shows how much you love and care. We’re not saying it is wrong to be this way but we just believe that by giving your children your very best puts forth as much effort as getting the very best.

Friends, we encourage you to find a balance between these two and you may have fewer worries :)

Mohawks, Faux-hawks - Cool Hairstyles for Kids

Mohawks and faux-hawks on babies and young children have become fairly popular hairstyles.  However, some parents highly disagree with styling their kids’ hair in such fashion. I, on the other hand, believe it is absolutely adorable! After all, it’s just hair and it will grow back. Babies, at such young ages, can’t really make their own decisions on hairstyles anyways. Some toddlers may already have a sense for what they like or dislike and if they happen to dig Mohawks then that’s awesome. 

SOURCE

We as parents already make a lot of decisions on our children’s behalf, including what’s in their wardrobe. So why is it such a bad thing to want to style a little Mohawk or faux-hawk? It’s actually not a bad thing at all. Some people have adverse opinions about it but that doesn’t make it wrong. Although it has always been a rebellious look, it has become a trend and more widely accepted than ever. Schools may set dress rules and guidelines on what is appropriate or what is considered distracting, so please check with your child’s school to avoid having your child being sent home. 

At such a young stage in life, most of what kids wear is a parent’s decision or a reflection of their parent’s taste in fashion and personality. Childhood is gone in a flash. It really is so much fun to style up your baby and capture moments with great photos. Why not? 

If you only want a Mohawk on your kid once in awhile, you may go for a faux-hawk. There are some parents willing to take a Mohawk style to the extreme by shaving the sides off. There is also the case of dying your children’s hair wild colors. I personally wouldn’t allow that for my daughters until they get older.  However, I’m not going to say that parents who would allow it are bad parents or that their parenting is substandard. There are other worse things that parents can do to deserve to be called bad parents. I just don’t think that styling your child’s hair a certain way should be one of them. You can teach your child appropriateness and good manners and also let them have cool hairstyles.   

Why are Mohawks on kids so controversial? It has always been a symbol of rebellion. I say it’s your child, have fun, and rock on!

Toddler Not Sleeping Through the Night? Top 10 List of What NOT To Do!

*whew long title*

I have been laughing about my sleepless nights for the past few weeks. I absolutely have to or else I will become permanently deranged. Just recently, we moved our 2yr old daughter from her crib onto a full size bed in her own room. She has been sleeping through the night since 6 weeks old. Everything was dandy for the first month or so of the transition. She definitely did enjoy sharing a room with her 1 year old baby sister, but now, with so much bed space, she could finally spread out her little limbs and move around freely. 

No more worrying about getting her foot stuck in the crib railings. No more failed attempts at escaping out. We were so proud that finally our big little girl could fall fast asleep in her new spacious bed. 

I would brag about how smoothly the transition went. Maybe I spoke too soon? Ha! I definitely did. She now wakes up like 10 times a night…..crying! And I have been waking up in the middle of the night as if I went back in time to when I was fresh on maternity leave.

A few times my child has lurked by my bedside real quietly and it freaked me out because, as much as I hate to admit it, I’m afraid of the dark sometimes. Yep, I said it. Mommy is afraid of the dark……sometimes. However, I quickly recuperate from a fast beating heartbeat and try to forget the fact that I actually thought for a second that my daughter was a little ghost watching me. SMH. So I go to put her back under her covers only to repeat the same scene a few more times after that.

I know it’s normal and it’s just a phase we must go through, but my husband and I keep asking ourselves why. We wonder about what we can do to keep her in bed until a reasonable time in the morning so that we can all rise and shine. 

Everyone always tells you what to do so we came up with some silly ideas on what NOT to do in order to survive these occurrences:

TOP TEN THINGS NOT TO DO

1. Don’t let your toddler decide when he/she should go to bed. You decide
2. Don’t confuse that straitjacket for your pajamas/robe. I know lack of sleep can play tricks on you.
3. Don’t read a bedtime horror story to your toddler
4. Don’t offer a  sugary sweet midnight snack in hopes of negotiating a deal with your toddler about going to bed peacefully
5. Don’t be too cheerful when encouraging your child back to sleep
6.  Don’t turn on a night light if it’s going to cast creepy shadows 
7.  Don’t turn on the heat too high or the AC too cold, leave it just right
8. Don’t forget that there will be a night when this will all just stop and you will all sleep happily ever after.
9. Don’t feel hopeless. You will make it through. 
10.  And mommy, don’t forget to make sure you have some extra coffee and extra concealer or something.

Say No to Ugly Clothes

We were once in their little shoes. We may remember some moments. We may not. Or for whatever reason, we may willingly choose not to remember some. Whatever the case may be, you probably remember times when you were forced to wear something you disliked.  What was something you hated wearing when you were young?

From ugly sweaters to ugly dresses, there are times when you just want to rebel against it all!

Babies are cute in almost everything you dress them in but it’s so much fun to dress your kids like rock stars. Rebel against the normal baby stuff. www.BabyRebellion.com is perfect for little rock stars.

As kids grow older, it’s important to accept and appreciate your child for who they are and who they want to be.

A child’s personality and attitude is shaped by their environment, family, friends, and experiences…Or maybe your child was born a real rebel, simply naughty by nature. 

Either ways, rock on little ones! Be Young. Be Rebel.
