As my daughter is nearing her 2nd year, the amount of energy in her has almost double, my hyper baby is turning into a hyper-active toddler! I love reading blogs, and thanks to this hobby, I read a lot about how to tackle with toddlers. The best way to control their excessive energy from turning into hyper-activity, is to keep them busy in some better activities.
I'm pretty sure their would be many others like me who worry a lot about how to help their toddlers to convert this energy into something productive. So for all the concerned mothers out there, I've gathered some activities for their adorable toddlers.
P.S. Mothers please be patient with your babies, you'll get time to relax and sit back when, with just a glimpse, your toddler won't be so small anymore!
Let's start with the routine. Does our toddler have a proper routine for him to realize the importance of it? Have we made him accustomed to the basics of rules and regulation? Are the toddlers keeping a nice eating schedule? as, most of are thinking at the moment, our toddlers haven't yet established the senses that will help to reinforce the above mentioned things.
The key to our toddlers learning these norms and rules is that we practice them, because toddlers are merely imitators, they copy almost everything they see us doing. So once our babies get used to seeing particular rules and regulations around them they won't find it to hard to adopt them.
Once we realize the importance of routine in our lives, am sure we will sort out the mystery of controlling the uncontrollable toddlers.
After a good research I realized that card-boards are one of the must have things in a home with toddlers. Cardboard forts and cardboard tubes are famous among toddlers. These simple cardboard creations keep babies busy for a longer time. Just take an old cardboard box and turn it into a fort, by simply cutting one of the side into a window while the other into a door. For more dramatic affects paint the exterior with simple poster colors. Let your toddler conquer the world!
Cardboard tubes can be made from cardboard obtained from tissue rolls, simple join five or six cardboard rolls and stick them on the wall. Provide some colorful small-sized pom poms to your baby and let him put it in one of the opening of the tubes and he'll enjoy seeing it coming out of the other side. See how long he keeps himself busy.
Flash cards are a simple yet very informative activity. Kids love flash cards and they get to learn a lot. Flash cards also help toddlers in learning to talk along with increasing their visual senses.
Blocks are great way to keep the toddler busy in a productive activity. Playing with block won't only improve your toddlers' motor skills, it will also develop a deep sense of creativity. Plus you are never too old to play with blocks so am pretty sure you'll also enjoy playing with blocks along with your toddlers.
Playing with clay/mud/sand is definitely a very messy activity, but it involves a lot of learning. Whether it be castle making r planting, being near to nature develops a very calm and patient personality. This simple activity might result in making your hyper child into a patient adult.
Toddlers love outdoors. take your toddler for a stroll in the backyard or the park everyday. Let your toddler run, play, shout, jump, trip over, in short let him free as long as you are sure he wont be hurt. let him drain out all the extra energy gathered in that tiny body.
One thing that I find really soothing with a lot of learning is reading out nice books to your toddlers. Introduce books with basic pictures of things that your child see almost daily. This will help your child to speak and differentiate between things around him along with developing the habit of reading.
