  45. The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/best-gifts-to-buy-new-parents/">The 5 Best Gifts To Buy New Parents!</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></description>
  46. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When a baby is born, often people’s first reaction is to buy a <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/unique-newborn-gift-ideas-for-parties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gift for the newborn baby</a>.</p>
  47. <p>However, the new parents will appreciate a thoughtful and helpful gift much more than the baby, so if you want to buy something small for the baby and then also something for the parents, you’re in the right place!</p>
  48. <p>We are introducing the best gifts to buy new parents no matter your budget.</p>
  49. <h2>1. A Food Delivery Subscription</h2>
  50. <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-390 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/A-Food-Delivery-Subscription.jpg" alt="a-food-delivery-subscription-is-best-gift-to-buy-new-parents" width="640" height="423" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/A-Food-Delivery-Subscription.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/A-Food-Delivery-Subscription-300x198.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Finding the time to plan out meals, do a food shop, cook a meal, eat, and clear up is near impossible with a new baby! So, one of the best gifts you can get new parents is a food delivery subscription. Buy them a voucher with a food subscription company where everything arrives weighed out and recipes are quick and easy to make, so they can easily make delicious food without all the hassle.</p>
  51. <p>With such a gift, which is also popular as <a href="https://blackhawknetwork.com/uk-en/solutions/rewards-incentives/employee-incentives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gift vouchers for employees</a>, they can choose the specific meals they want, whether that’s 15-minute meals or one-pot dishes to save on washing up. Maybe <a href="https://news.clickdo.co.uk/top-coupons-uk-sites-for-extreme-couponing-uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">get a coupon</a> that will last them about 3 weeks, so that they can adjust to becoming new parents with one less thing to worry about. This is such a fantastic gift that any new parent will definitely appreciate.</p>
  52. <h2>2. Weighted Blankets</h2>
  53. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-389 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Weighted-Blankets-1.jpg" alt="best-gifts-to-buy-new-parents-is-weighted-blankets" width="640" height="480" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Weighted-Blankets-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Weighted-Blankets-1-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />We all know the rule that when your baby is sleeping, you should be sleeping. However, it can be hard to unwind at times with so much on your mind, so something you can get for the new parents is a <a href="https://www.onlinehomeshop.com/bedding/weighted-blankets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">weighted blanket</a>. Sleep deprivation can cause so much stress and anxiety, as well as impact the immune system, so a weighted blanket can help the parents to relax quicker and to improve their quality of sleep.</p>
  54. <p>Weighted blankets work by using a deep pressure simulation, helping to reduce cortisol which causes stress, and it also increases levels of melatonin which helps you to sleep. This could transform either nap times or sleep for the parents, so it is certainly a great present for them to try.</p>
  55. <h2>3. A Voucher For A House Clean!</h2>
  56. <p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-391 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/A-Voucher-For-A-House-Clean-1.jpg" alt="best-gifts-to-buy-new-parents-is-voucher-for-a-house-clean" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/A-Voucher-For-A-House-Clean-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/A-Voucher-For-A-House-Clean-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />If you have a lower budget but want something that will be exceptionally helpful for the new parents, give them a homemade voucher for one house clean! The last thing on new parents’ minds is whether or not the house is clean but having a tidy space can really help to improve their mood when things are tough.</p>
  57. <p>So, give them a voucher for one <a href="https://www.greatest-blog.com/cleaning-services-infographic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full house clean</a>, where you go in and help them to clean and tidy their home. You might also cook a meal for them whilst you’re there and tidy up after or add <a href="https://www.blackhawknetworkextras.co.uk/care4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">childcare vouchers</a> to give them a break. Of course, be careful not to overstay your welcome as the family will be adjusting to their new life, but simply go to help them out and they will be forever grateful. This is more suitable if you are very close friends with the new parents, so if you don’t know them very well, opt for one of the other choices!</p>
  58. <h2>4. An Amazon Prime Subscription</h2>
  59. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-392 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/An-Amazon-Prime-Subscription-1.jpg" alt="amazon-prime-subscription-is-best-gifts-to-buy-new-parents" width="640" height="403" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/An-Amazon-Prime-Subscription-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/An-Amazon-Prime-Subscription-1-300x189.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />As a parent, it is so common to find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten to pick something up that you need and the very last thing you want is to have to go out to the shops to pick it up. So, an Amazon Prime subscription is a fantastic gift! You might cover the subscription for the first 6 months until the parents have adjusted to life as a family, so that if they ever need formula, nappies, things for the house, dummies, or anything else, they can have it by the next day.</p>
  60. <p>This is something super simple, but it can really make a huge difference to the new parents when they desperately need something!</p>
  61. <h2>5. Postpartum Massage</h2>
  62. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-393 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Postpartum-Massage-1.jpg" alt="postpartum-massage-is-best-gifts-to-buy-new-parents" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Postpartum-Massage-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Postpartum-Massage-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Last but not least, a gift just for the mum of the baby that she will love is a <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/postpartum-massage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">postpartum massage</a>. Find a local massage therapist who specializes in postpartum massage and buy a voucher so that she can go whenever she feels ready. Labor is so intense, and this massage will help to relax the muscles and improve circulation.</p>
  63. <p>It can also help to reduce stress and give the mother a moment of relief. The benefits are endless when it comes to postpartum massage, so this is a fantastic gift to really help her mental and physical health after birth.</p>
  64. <h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
  65. <p>Becoming a new parent is hard, so if you can do anything to help them out, you definitely should! These are all really thoughtful gifts for the parents, as they are likely to be surrounded by gifts for the baby, but they need help with useful gifts more than the baby. So, save the gifts for the baby until they’re slightly older and focus on the parents, as they will be so grateful for any help you are able to offer.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/best-gifts-to-buy-new-parents/">The 5 Best Gifts To Buy New Parents!</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  83. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s technology-driven society, exploring the implications of allowing our children to venture into the vast realm of social media is essential.</p>
  84. <p>While these platforms offer various benefits, such as connecting with friends and exploring interests, there are significant reasons to exercise caution.</p>
  85. <p><a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-managing-screen-time-for-your-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Managing screen time for your kids</a> as well as <a href="https://education.clickdo.co.uk/keep-your-kids-safe-online/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">e-safety</a> becomes crucial in fostering a healthy digital environment.</p>
  86. <p>This article will delve into the potential risks and concerns associated with using social media for kids, highlighting the need for vigilance and guidance in their online journeys.</p>
  87. <h2>Privacy and Safety Concerns of Using Social Media for Kids</h2>
  88. <p>Regarding children&#8217;s use of social media, privacy, and safety should be at the forefront of parents&#8217; minds. With the vast amount of personal information shared on these platforms, it&#8217;s crucial to understand and address the potential risks involved.</p>
  89. <h3>Sharing Personal Information</h3>
  90. <p>Children may unknowingly share personal information, such as their full name, address, school, or phone number, on social media platforms. Malicious individuals can exploit this information for identity theft or other harmful purposes. Educating children about the importance of safeguarding personal information through effective <a href="https://business.clickdo.co.uk/how-trust-and-security-will-empower-individuals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identity security management</a> and regularly reviewing their privacy settings is essential.</p>
  91. <h3>Online Predators</h3>
  92. <p>The anonymity of the internet provides a breeding ground for online predators who may target unsuspecting children. These predators often pose as peers or individuals with shared interests to gain children&#8217;s trust. Parents should emphasize the importance of not engaging with strangers online and encourage open communication if suspicious interactions occur.</p>
  93. <h3>Geolocation and Tracking</h3>
  94. <p>Many social media platforms utilize geolocation features that can disclose a child&#8217;s whereabouts. This information, if accessed by the wrong individuals, can compromise their safety. Parents should guide their children on the importance of turning off geolocation services and being mindful of posting location-specific information.</p>
  95. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-441" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Privacy-and-Safety-Concerns-of-Using-Social-Media-for-Kids.jpg" alt="privacy-and-safety-concerns-of-using-social-media-for-kids" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Privacy-and-Safety-Concerns-of-Using-Social-Media-for-Kids.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Privacy-and-Safety-Concerns-of-Using-Social-Media-for-Kids-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  96. <h2>The Negative Impact of Using Social Media for Kids</h2>
  97. <p>In today&#8217;s digital age, where social media dominates the online landscape, it&#8217;s crucial to consider its potential negative effects on children&#8217;s mental health. Excessive <a href="https://childmind.org/article/how-using-social-media-affects-teenagers/#:~:text=Social%20media%20affects%20behavior%20negatively,callous%2C%20anxious%2C%20and%20insecure." target="_blank" rel="noopener">use of social media platforms</a> has been linked to various psychological issues, making it vital for parents and guardians to be aware and proactive.</p>
  98. <h3>Social Comparison and Self-Esteem</h3>
  99. <p>Constant exposure to carefully curated highlight reels of others&#8217; lives on social media can lead to detrimental social comparison. Kids may feel inadequate or develop low self-esteem when comparing themselves to the seemingly perfect lives of their peers. It&#8217;s essential to educate children about the artificial nature of social media and encourage them to <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-on-promoting-self-esteem-and-confidence-in-your-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focus on their uniqueness and strengths</a>.</p>
  100. <h3>Cyberbullying and Online Harassment</h3>
  101. <p>The anonymity and distance provided by social media can encourage individuals to engage in cyberbullying and online harassment. Children may fall victim to hurtful comments, exclusion, or threats, causing significant emotional distress. Parents should actively monitor their children&#8217;s online interactions, encourage open communication, and establish protocols for reporting and dealing with such incidents.</p>
  102. <h3>Anxiety and Depression</h3>
  103. <p>Excessive screen time and constant exposure to social media can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression in children. The pressure to maintain a flawless online persona and the fear of missing out (FOMO) can heighten stress levels. Encouraging a healthy balance between online and offline activities, promoting face-to-face social interactions, and engaging in activities that boost mental well-being can help mitigate these risks.</p>
  104. <h3>Sleep Disruptions</h3>
  105. <p>The blue light emitted by screens, coupled with the addictive nature of social media, can disrupt children&#8217;s sleep patterns. Late-night scrolling can interfere with quality sleep, leading to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Establishing tech-free bedtime routines and creating designated screen-free zones in the house can promote better sleep hygiene and overall well-being.</p>
  106. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-442" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Social-media-disrupt-real-life-social-interaction.jpg" alt="social-media-disrupt-real-life-social-interaction" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Social-media-disrupt-real-life-social-interaction.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Social-media-disrupt-real-life-social-interaction-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  107. <h2>Protecting Kids from Inappropriate Content on Social Media</h2>
  108. <p>Children can easily stumble upon inappropriate or age-inappropriate content in the vast expanse of social media. Parents and guardians must proactively filter and monitor the content their children are exposed to.</p>
  109. <h3>Content Accessibility</h3>
  110. <p>Social media platforms host a wide range of content, including explicit language, violence, sexual material, and graphic imagery. Children, especially younger ones, may inadvertently encounter such content while exploring these platforms. Implementing content filtering tools and parental controls can help restrict their exposure to inappropriate material.</p>
  111. <h3>Online Challenges and Harmful Trends</h3>
  112. <p>Social media is known for popularizing viral challenges and trends, some of which can be dangerous or harmful. Children may be influenced to participate in activities that risk their well-being, health, or safety. Parents should educate themselves about these challenges and actively engage with their children to discourage participation in potentially harmful trends.</p>
  113. <h3>Disturbing or Graphic Images</h3>
  114. <p>Certain social media communities or individuals may share disturbing or graphic images that can traumatize children. Graphic violence, self-harm, or explicit content can have severe psychological effects. Parents should closely monitor their children&#8217;s online interactions and provide a safe space for open discussions about any distressing content they may come across.</p>
  115. <h3>Entertainment and Online Gaming</h3>
  116. <p>While social media is not solely responsible for entertainment, it often serves as a gateway to online games and other digital forms of amusement. Parents should be cautious when exploring new gaming platforms, ensuring that the content and interactions within these games align with appropriate age levels and values.</p>
  117. <p>And suppose you want to <a href="https://heartmoving.us/4-ways-to-keep-your-kids-entertained-during-the-move/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keep your kids entertained</a> during a move, for example. In that case, you can ensure kids stay entertained by utilizing content filtering tools, parental controls, and active supervision to mitigate the risks of exposing them to inappropriate content on social media.</p>
  118. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-443" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Playtime-with-the-whole-family-is-very-important.jpg" alt="playtime-with-the-whole-family-is-very-important" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Playtime-with-the-whole-family-is-very-important.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Playtime-with-the-whole-family-is-very-important-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  119. <h2>Screen Time Blues: The Impact of Using Social Media for Kids&#8217; Physical Health</h2>
  120. <p>The increasing prevalence of social media among children has raised concerns about its impact on their physical health and overall well-being. Understanding the potential consequences can help parents make informed decisions and promote a healthy lifestyle for their children.</p>
  121. <h3>Sedentary Lifestyle</h3>
  122. <p>Excessive use of social media for kids often leads to a sedentary lifestyle, with children spending prolonged periods sitting or lying down while engaging with their devices. This lack of physical activity can contribute to health issues such as obesity, poor cardiovascular health, and weakened muscles and bones. Encouraging regular physical activity and setting limits on screen time can help mitigate these risks.</p>
  123. <h3>Eye Strain and Vision Problems</h3>
  124. <p>Staring at screens for extended periods can cause eye strain, fatigue, and dryness. Children may also risk developing vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness). Encouraging regular breaks from screens, maintaining proper posture, and ensuring a well-lit environment can help alleviate these issues.</p>
  125. <h3>Limitations on Physical Activities</h3>
  126. <p>Excessive screen time can limit children&#8217;s time engaging in physical and extracurricular activities. Parents need to <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/best-extracurricular-activities-for-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">choose the best extracurricular activities</a> for their children, providing opportunities for them to explore interests, socialize, and maintain an active lifestyle.</p>
  127. <h2>In Conclusion</h2>
  128. <p>Using social media for kids requires caution and vigilance. By establishing boundaries, fostering open communication, and promoting responsible online behavior, parents can empower their children to navigate the digital world safely.</p>
  129. <p>Remember, the goal is not to eliminate social media but to guide children in developing healthy digital habits and ensuring their overall well-being. We can nurture a generation of responsible digital citizens who can thrive in the digital age with proactive measures.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/ways-be-careful-with-social-media-for-kids/">Best Ways to Be Cautious When Using Social Media for Kids</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  152. <p>Additionally, don&#8217;t forget to check the ratings to ensure it&#8217;s suitable for all ages. Now, let&#8217;s think about the movie night ambiance. Will it be a cozy rom com with friends or a magical animated tale with the little ones? So, consider the mood you want to set and select a film that matches. Surprise your guests with a classic movie they haven&#8217;t seen in ages if you&#8217;re feeling extra daring.</p>
  153. <p>And remember, variety is the spice of movie nights. So, don&#8217;t be afraid to mix it up—alternate between genres to keep everyone entertained.</p>
  154. <h2>2. Create a cozy atmosphere</h2>
  155. <p>Of course, creating a cozy atmosphere for your movie night is like adding extra butter to your popcorn—it enhances the experience! Hosting a movie night after moving in is an excellent opportunity to <a href="https://triple7movers.com/what-to-do-after-your-move-is-completed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have fun after the relocation</a> and create a cozy atmosphere in your new home. Additionally, as you settle down with blankets, pillows, and snacks, you transform your living space into a sanctuary of comfort. It helps to make the new surroundings feel familiar and cozy, creating a sense of belonging and relaxation.</p>
  156. <p>In addition, consider adding some twinkling fairy lights or colorful LED strips for that extra touch of movie magic. Next, unleash the power of scent. Light some scented candles or plug in a delightful aroma diffuser. Go for popcorn-scented candles or fill the air with the aroma of freshly baked cookies or for the healthier types some nutritious <a href="https://news.clickdo.co.uk/raw-food-recipes-to-reduce-energy-bills/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raw food snacks</a>. Finally, make sure you have a speaker system that delivers immersive audio.</p>
  157. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-430" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Create-a-cozy-atmosphere.jpg" alt="tips-for-hosting-a-movie-night" width="640" height="480" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Create-a-cozy-atmosphere.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Create-a-cozy-atmosphere-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  158. <h2>3. Add the perfect snacks</h2>
  159. <p>First up, the undisputed champion: popcorn! This timeless treat pops with flavor and crunch. So, you can go for the classic buttery version or jazz it up with toppings like cheese or caramel. Next, add nachos accompanied by salsa. Grab a box of chocolate-covered pretzels if you like the sweet and salty combo. These delectable delights blend the richness of chocolate with the satisfying crunch of pretzels.</p>
  160. <p>Now, let&#8217;s talk candy. The candy aisle is a colorful paradise, from gummy bears to licorice ropes. Create your simple snack by combining different candies for a sweet symphony of flavors. And for those who prefer a refreshing option, don&#8217;t forget about beverages! Besides, slushies and fruity mocktails are always a good idea. But make sure you check <a href="https://www.icgnutrition.org.uk/food-allergies-and-intolerances-understanding-the-differences-managing-them/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">food allergies and intolerances</a> to avoid disaster.</p>
  161. <h2>4. Create a DIY drive-in theatre</h2>
  162. <p>Transform your backyard or spacious garage into a cinematic wonderland. Hang a white sheet or set up a projector screen—the blank canvas for your outdoor theater. <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/how-to-make-new-home-child-friendly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Create a comfy space</a> with blankets, pillows, and snug vehicle seating. Get creative—deck out your car with twinkling lights or add a touch of luxury with inflatable mattresses. And tune in to the audio through your car radio or use portable speakers for an immersive sound experience.</p>
  163. <p>Additionally, remember to have blankets handy for those chillier nights. Whether it&#8217;s a romantic date night or a fun-filled family gathering, the DIY drive-in movie experience is a fantastic way to enjoy the magic of cinema under the stars.</p>

  165. <h2><em>5. </em>Create a theme movie night</h2>
  166. <p>One of the tips for hosting the best movie night is to create a captivating theme that adds a dash of excitement to the experience. First, brainstorm ideas that ignite your imagination. From &#8217;80s throwbacks to superhero showdowns, let your creativity run wild! Once you&#8217;ve chosen a theme, it&#8217;s time to set the stage. Decorate your space with posters, props, and themed decorations that transport your guests into the heart of the movie.</p>
  167. <p>Encourage your friends to dress the part—superheroes, iconic movie characters, or even pajamas for a cozy night in. Prepare themed snacks that are sure to delight you. Movie trivia games with theme-specific questions are a must. Finally, don&#8217;t forget to create a playlist that features iconic movie soundtracks or songs that match your chosen theme. Additionally, include a karaoke session where everyone can belt out their favorite movie tunes!</p>
  168. <h2>6. Play movie trivia</h2>
  169. <p>First, gather a list of movie-related questions that cover various genres, actors, iconic lines, and fun facts. Keep the questions diverse and include easy and challenging ones to cater to different levels of expertise. Next, divide your guests into teams or have an individual showdown. Prepare buzzers for participants to buzz in with their answers to make it even more exciting. Award points for correct answers and keep track of the scores throughout the game similar to <a href="https://londonoutloud.co.uk/best-escape-room-games-in-london-for-groups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">escape room games</a>.</p>
  170. <p>Spice things up with bonus rounds where participants can earn extra points through special challenges. To make the experience visually appealing, create a trivia board or use a projector to display the questions and keep everyone engaged. Amp the atmosphere by playing movie soundtracks in the background and adding themed decorations. Don&#8217;t forget to <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/be-the-best-gift-giver/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prepare gifts</a> or prizes for the winning team or individual. Overall, movie-themed keychains or even personalized trophies are excellent choices.</p>
  171. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-432" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Play-movie-trivia.jpg" alt="friends-playing-movie-trivia" width="640" height="409" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Play-movie-trivia.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Play-movie-trivia-300x192.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>

  190. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to nurturing well-rounded, confident, and happy children, <em>extracurricular activities play an essential role</em>.</p>
  191. <p>These activities allow kids to explore new interests, develop essential life skills, and connect with like-minded peers. However, with so many options available, choosing the right extracurricular activities for your child can be quite a challenge.</p>
  192. <p>But don&#8217;t worry because we&#8217;re here to help you. We did thorough research for parents, nannies, and carers, and in this comprehensive guide, we&#8217;ll help you make an informed decision about what to do with your kids after homework, studying, or <a href="https://londonoutloud.co.uk/online-tutoring-in-london-best-practices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">online tutoring</a>.</p>
  193. <h2>Why Is Choosing the Right Extracurricular Activities for Your Child Important and How to Do It?</h2>
  194. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-419" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Why-Is-Choosing-the-Right-Extracurricular-Activities-for-Your-Child-Important.jpg" alt="kids-playing-during-arts-and-crafts-extracurricular-activities" width="640" height="427" />Extracurricular activities not only offer a much-needed break from the daily academic grind, but they also contribute significantly to a child&#8217;s overall development. Children can develop essential life and <a href="https://university.seekahost.com/transferable-skills-for-online-job/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transferable skills</a> through these hobbies, such as teamwork, time management, and problem-solving. They also <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-on-promoting-self-esteem-and-confidence-in-your-child/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promote self-esteem and confidence</a>, which are crucial for your child to thrive!</p>
  195. <p>Alt-tag: Kids playing during arts and crafts extracurricular activities</p>
  196. <p>On top of that, these activities provide opportunities for children to discover their passions and forge lifelong friendships. In this ever-competitive world, having a well-rounded background can also <strong>give your child an edge in their future academic and professional endeavors</strong>.</p>
  197. <p>Having all of this in mind, let&#8217;s find out how to choose the activity that&#8217;s perfect for your youngster.</p>
  198. <h2>#1 Know Your Child&#8217;s Interests</h2>
  199. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-422 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Know-Your-Childs-Interests.jpg" alt="childs-interests-in-extracurricular-activities" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Know-Your-Childs-Interests.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Know-Your-Childs-Interests-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />The first step in choosing the right extracurricular activity for your child is <a href="https://www.institute4learning.com/resources/articles/50-ways-to-bring-out-your-childs-best/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">understanding your child&#8217;s interests</a>. Take the time to observe what sparks their curiosity and ignites their passion. Talk to your child about their hobbies and dreams and encourage them to explore new interests. Providing opportunities for your child to try different activities can help them <em>uncover hidden talents and develop a more comprehensive understanding of their likes and dislikes</em>.</p>
  200. <p>While it&#8217;s essential to focus on your child&#8217;s interests, it&#8217;s equally important to consider their strengths and weaknesses<strong>.</strong> Aligning activities with your child&#8217;s natural talents can boost their confidence and help them excel. On the other hand, choosing an activity that targets a specific weakness can be an excellent opportunity for personal growth. For instance, if your child struggles with social skills, joining a drama club or a team sport can help them improve in this area.</p>
  201. <h2>#2 Matching Activities to Age Groups</h2>
  202. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-416" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Matching-Activities-to-Age-Groups.jpg" alt="matching-activities-to-age-groups-in-extracurricular-activities" width="640" height="424" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Matching-Activities-to-Age-Groups.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Matching-Activities-to-Age-Groups-300x199.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />When choosing extracurricular activities for your child, it&#8217;s essential to consider their age and developmental stage:</p>
  203. <ul>
  204. <li><strong>Toddlers and preschoolers</strong>: For younger children, the focus should be on <em>activities that help develop their motor skills, cognitive abilities, and social skills</em>. Suitable options include dance classes, gymnastics, arts and crafts, and group sports like soccer or T-ball. At this age, it&#8217;s crucial to offer a variety of age-appropriate activities that stimulate curiosity and encourage exploration.</li>
  205. <li><strong>Elementary school children</strong>: At this age, children should be <em>encouraged to explore a diverse range of interests</em>. Activities that promote creativity, such as drama, music, or painting, are excellent choices. Also, this is the perfect age for getting kids interested in sports. Sports like swimming, basketball, or martial arts can also help develop physical fitness and teamwork skills. One of the <a href="https://dubaipt.com/how-to-get-your-kids-interested-in-sports/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ways to get them motivated</a> and interested in sports is by discussing the benefits of participating in sports, such as improved health, increased self-esteem, and better social connections. You can also introduce them to inspiring role models or take them to watch a live game to pique their interest.</li>
  206. <li><strong>Middle and high schoolers</strong>: As children grow older,<em> supporting their pursuit of independence and self-discovery is essential</em>. Encourage them to participate in clubs, volunteer work, or student council to develop leadership skills. Additionally, competitive sports, debate teams, and academic clubs where thought-provoking <a href="https://www.ringsaroundtheworld.co.uk/tips-to-buy-book-online/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">books are reviewed</a> can provide valuable experiences for college applications and future careers. At this stage, it&#8217;s important to recognize and respect your child&#8217;s evolving interests and encourage them to take ownership of their extracurricular choices.</li>
  207. </ul>
  208. <h2>#3 Balancing Time and Commitment</h2>
  209. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-418" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Balancing-Time-and-Commitment.jpg" alt="kids-during-a-chemistry-class-as-part-of-their-extracurricular-activities" width="640" height="427" />When it comes to extracurricular activities, it&#8217;s crucial to <strong>prioritize quality over quantity</strong>. Overloading your child with too many commitments can lead to burnout and detract from their academic performance. Encourage your child to <em>focus on a few activities they genuinely enjoy and can dedicate their time and energy to</em>. This approach will allow your child to fully immerse themselves in their chosen pursuits and maximize the benefits of their involvement.</p>
  210. <p>Alt-tag: kids during a chemistry class as part of their extracurricular activities</p>
  211. <p>Establishing a routine can help your child manage their time more effectively. It can also be a valuable tool in <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-managing-screen-time-for-your-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">managing screen time</a> (which, you&#8217;ll agree, has become a true challenge today). Discuss their schedule with them and ensure enough time is allocated for schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and relaxation. Regularly reviewing and adjusting their routine and <a href="https://www.ecommunitycouncil.org.uk/why-monitoring-the-online-activities-of-your-child-is-essential/">online activities</a> can help <strong>maintain a healthy balance between their various commitments</strong>, ultimately fostering a more enjoyable and productive experience.</p>
  212. <h2>#4 Consider the Financial Aspect</h2>
  213. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-421 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Consider-the-Financial-Aspect.jpg" alt="consider-the-financial-aspect-of-extracurricular-activities" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Consider-the-Financial-Aspect.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Consider-the-Financial-Aspect-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Extracurricular activities can come with a price tag. Therefore, considering the costs involved, including equipment, uniforms, and <a href="https://news.clickdo.co.uk/save-money-while-traveling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">travel expenses</a>, is essential. Be realistic about your budget and explore affordable alternatives. Sometimes, opting for a less expensive option may still provide your child with the same developmental benefits without straining your finances.</p>
  214. <p>Don&#8217;t be discouraged if your child is passionate about an activity but the costs seem prohibitive. Many organizations and clubs offer scholarships or financial aid to help cover expenses. Research available options, and <strong>don&#8217;t hesitate to inquire about assistance</strong>. Securing financial support can allow your child to participate in their desired activity without causing undue financial stress on your family.</p>
  215. <h2>#5 Involve Your Child in the Decision Process</h2>
  216. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-417" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Involve-Your-Child-in-the-Decision-Process.jpg" alt="kids-doing-outdoors-extracurricular-activities" width="640" height="427" />Involving your child in the decision-making process is essential. Encourage open communication and discuss potential activities together. Listen to their thoughts and feelings and collaborate to find the best fit for them. This approach not only empowers your child but also ensures that they are genuinely excited about their chosen activity.</p>
  217. <p>While it&#8217;s important to involve your child in the decision-making process, remember that they may still need your guidance and support. Offer your perspective and help them weigh the pros and cons of each activity. Be sure to<em> strike a balance between supporting their choices and offering your insights</em>. Ultimately, your child will benefit from your experience and wisdom, making the decision process more informed and successful.</p>
  218. <p>Alt-tag: kids doing outdoor extracurricular activities</p>
  219. <p>Also, remember that it&#8217;s perfectly <strong>normal for a child&#8217;s interests to change over time</strong>. Be prepared to reassess their extracurricular activities periodically and adjust as needed. This flexibility will help ensure your child remains engaged and excited about their pursuits. By staying open to change, you can continue supporting your child&#8217;s development and ensure they get the most out of their extracurricular experiences.</p>
  220. <h2>Good Luck Choosing the Right Extracurricular Activities for Your Child</h2>
  221. <p>Choosing the right extracurricular activities for your child is an investment in their future. It&#8217;s about more than just picking a fun pastime;<em> it&#8217;s about helping your child uncover their passions, develop essential life skills, and become well-rounded individuals</em>. By taking a thoughtful and collaborative approach to this decision, you empower your child and lay the foundation for a fulfilling journey of self-discovery.</p>
  222. <p>As your child&#8217;s interests and needs evolve, remember to remain flexible and supportive, guiding them toward activities that challenge, inspire, and ultimately contribute to their growth and happiness. The time and effort you invest in this process today will surely pay dividends in the form of <strong>confident, resilient, and passionate individuals</strong> ready to make their mark on the world.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/best-extracurricular-activities-for-children/">5 Steps to choose the best Extracurricular Activities for your Child</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  239. The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-on-promoting-self-esteem-and-confidence-in-your-child/">7 Tips on Promoting Self-Esteem and Confidence in Your Child</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></description>
  240. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As parents, we want our kids to grow up having high self-esteem and self-confidence. And this is perfectly normal since it will enable them to better handle and overcome challenging life challenges. But how can you help them achieve that?</p>
  241. <p>Be advised that this doesn&#8217;t mean making your child believe they are the center of the Universe and better than everyone else. Not to mention that if you have more than one child, this will make <u><a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-dealing-with-sibling-rivalry/">dealing with sibling rivalry</a></u> much harder. Instead, you must help your child recognize their strengths and weaknesses so that they can see themselves realistically.</p>
  242. <p>So, look at these tips on promoting self-esteem and confidence in your child.</p>
  243. <h2>1. Set a good example</h2>
  244. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-405" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-a-good-example.jpg" alt="set-a-good-example-children-for-the-future" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-a-good-example.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Set-a-good-example-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />When children are little, they start by imitating their parents&#8217; behavior and then move on to learning from it. As a result, you represent a role model for your child. This means you must show them you&#8217;re willing to take on difficult tasks because you trust your skills and judgment. And if you fail, you should acknowledge this as well because it will teach them that nobody is perfect, not even their parents. In time, this will enable them to set realistic expectations for themselves.</p>
  245. <h2>2. Play with your child</h2>
  246. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Play-with-your-child.jpg" alt="a-father-playing-with-his-child-to-boost-confidence" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Play-with-your-child.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Play-with-your-child-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Another excellent tip for promoting self-esteem and confidence in your child is to play with them. By showing them that you enjoy their company, they&#8217;ll also trust that others will. This helps them see themselves as entertaining and interesting.</p>
  247. <p>Plus, spending time with you will make them very happy. Moreover, you can use this time to help them develop new skills such as <a href="https://news.clickdo.co.uk/child-need-to-know-for-cybersecurity/">teaching them about cybersecurity</a> when using <a href="https://education.clickdo.co.uk/best-online-learning-teaching-and-tutoring-platforms-to-close-the-attainment-gap/">learning platforms</a> for example, or by choosing educational <u><a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/parents-guide-to-choosing-baby-toy/">toys for all age groups</a></u>. This, in turn, will enable them to discover some of their strengths and weaknesses.</p>
  248. <h2>3. Avoid overpraising and overcriticizing</h2>
  249. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-404" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Avoid-overpraising-and-overcriticizing.jpg" alt="avoid-overpraising-and-overcriticizing-of-child" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Avoid-overpraising-and-overcriticizing.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Avoid-overpraising-and-overcriticizing-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />There&#8217;s a very thin line between overpraising and overcriticizing, and you must learn to remain somewhere in the middle. Of course, you must praise your child to build self-esteem and confidence. But too much praising can do a lot of harm. More precisely, if you praise every small thing they do right, they&#8217;ll feel like they are doing a good enough job as it is and will no longer strive to get better. Try to praise their milestones and their perseverance to keep trying.</p>
  250. <p>At the same time, you must avoid overcriticizing them. Otherwise, this will lead to low self-esteem and confidence. Instead, it would be best if you use constructive criticism. If they make a mistake, calmly explain to them what they did wrong. Work together with your child to identify the problems and find solutions. And whatever you do, don&#8217;t insult your kid.</p>
  251. <h2>4. Let them help out</h2>
  252. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-399 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Let-them-help-out.jpg" alt="give-your-child-ageappropriate-responsibilities" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Let-them-help-out.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Let-them-help-out-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Even from an early age, you should give your child some responsibilities. This represents a great learning experience enabling them to develop and perfect skills and demonstrate competence. They&#8217;ll learn that practice makes perfect, even if they don&#8217;t get it right the first or 20th time. So, thank them for their effort and encourage them to try again. Over time, they&#8217;ll bring a valuable contribution to the household, which will build their self-esteem and confidence.</p>
  253. <p>Of course, these responsibilities should be age appropriate. For instance, you can&#8217;t ask your toddler to cook dinner, but you can ask them to mix the ingredients in a bowl. However, as they grow, you can give them more responsibilities. For example, if you&#8217;re moving from the US to the UK and hiring movers, this doesn&#8217;t mean your child can&#8217;t help out. You can put them in charge of decluttering and packing their room and only afterward <u><a href="https://www.movingtransparent.com/services/moving-from-usa-to-the-uk/">look for reliable international movers</a></u> to transport everything. This will show your kid that you trust their judgment and competence.</p>
  254. <h2>5. Let them take some risks</h2>
  255. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-403" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Let-them-take-some-risks.jpg" alt="let-child-take-some-risks" width="640" height="426" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Let-them-take-some-risks.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Let-them-take-some-risks-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />As parents, we try to keep our children safe at all times and protect them for as long as possible from life&#8217;s challenges. However, this is not always a good idea, as it doesn&#8217;t prepare them for the future and sets unrealistic expectations of the outside world. Therefore, it&#8217;s better to let your child take some healthy risks.</p>
  256. <p>For example, you can let them play freely at the playground and learn how to ride a bicycle early. Don&#8217;t step in at the first sign of danger. Even if they fall, they&#8217;ll likely get up and try again until they succeed. At the same time, you can encourage them to participate in competitions even if there&#8217;s a chance they&#8217;ll lose. These things will determine their resilience and gradually increase their self-esteem and confidence as they improve.</p>
  257. <h2>6. Limit screen time</h2>
  258. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-402" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Limit-screen-time.jpg" alt="limit-screen-time-of-your-child" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Limit-screen-time.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Limit-screen-time-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />In this day and age, even toddlers have access to screens. But you should focus on <u><a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-managing-screen-time-for-your-kids/">managing screen time for your kids</a></u> wisely. While technology offers many educational benefits, it also has many negative effects. More precisely, it can cause social, emotional, and attention problems from an early age. Plus, once they reach school age, children can experience cyberbullying, which diminishes their self-esteem and confidence. Thus, you should limit their screen time, teach them <a href="https://www.newsofthehour.co.uk/top-digital-skills-for-children/">digital skills</a>, and encourage other types of activities, such as playing outdoors.</p>
  259. <h2>7. Shower your child with love</h2>
  260. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-398" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Shower-your-child-with-love.jpg" alt="always-show-your-child-how-much-your-love-them" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Shower-your-child-with-love.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Shower-your-child-with-love-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />There&#8217;s no better way to promote self-esteem and confidence in your child than to shower them with love. Kiss them, hug them, and express your unconditional love for them all the time. Knowing they are valued no matter what will give them a sense of security that will encourage them to take chances and persevere. Furthermore, this lays the foundation for forming healthy and solid relationships in the future.</p>
  261. <h2>In conclusion</h2>
  262. <p>These tips on promoting self-esteem and confidence in your child will help you to lay the groundwork for the future. They will enable your kid to recognize their strengths and weakness and have realistic expectations. But, at the same time, they will make them more resilient and less afraid of taking chances.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-on-promoting-self-esteem-and-confidence-in-your-child/">7 Tips on Promoting Self-Esteem and Confidence in Your Child</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  278. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Growing up with siblings can be a great experience; however, it&#8217;s not always sunshine and rainbows. One of the most common issues that many families face is sibling rivalry. Sibling rivalry can cause a lot of tension and fights and <strong>even result in long-term conflicts</strong> that can affect the relationship between siblings.</p>
  279. <p>And trust us, dealing with sibling rivalry is not as simple as <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-managing-screen-time-for-your-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">limiting screen time for your kids</a> or encouraging them to be more involved in school. To help you navigate this issue and bring peace between your kids, we&#8217;ve consulted experts in the field and gathered seven tips. Now let&#8217;s get to work!</p>
  280. <h2>Understanding Sibling Rivalry and How to Deal with It</h2>
  281. <p>Sibling rivalry is a natural occurrence in most families but can quickly escalate if left unchecked. Jealousy, competition, and fighting between siblings can often cause tension and animosity that can affect their relationship well into adulthood.</p>
  282. <p>While a certain level of competition is normal, especially in large families, excessive sibling rivalry can lead to negative outcomes like <strong>poor self-esteem, aggression, and lack of relationship skills</strong>.</p>
  283. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-360" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Understanding-Sibling-Rivalry-and-How-to-Deal-with-It.jpg" alt="brother-and-sister-relationship-to-handle-sibling-rivalry" width="640" height="426" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Understanding-Sibling-Rivalry-and-How-to-Deal-with-It.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Understanding-Sibling-Rivalry-and-How-to-Deal-with-It-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  284. <p>Therefore, it&#8217;s essential for parents to understand the root cause of sibling rivalry in their family and <em>create a healthy and positive environment that fosters a loving bond between siblings.</em> Sibling rivalry doesn&#8217;t have to be a negative experience. The right approach can turn it into a valuable learning experience that helps children develop strong relationship skills and positive self-esteem.</p>
  285. <h2>Let&#8217;s Make Dealing with Sibling Rivalry Easier</h2>
  286. <p>If you&#8217;re a parent with more than one child, you&#8217;ve likely encountered sibling rivalry in one way or another. Sibling rivalry may manifest in various forms, such as <em>bickering, insults, reporting to parents, physical altercations, competition, comparing oneself with the other, taking each other&#8217;s things, and more</em>.</p>
  287. <p>For parents, handling sibling rivalry can be a challenging, tiring, and distressing task. Parents usually hope their children will share a close, supportive, and loving relationship. Since that&#8217;s not always the case, here&#8217;s how to make dealing with sibling rivalry easier and <strong>help your kids strengthen their bond</strong><strong>.</strong></p>
  288. <h3>1. Encourage Communication</h3>
  289. <p>Communication is the key when it comes to dealing with sibling rivalry. <em>Encourage your children to talk about their feelings and needs openly.</em> Make sure that everyone feels heard and validated, and encourage them to express their emotions in a healthy manner. When children communicate openly, finding solutions to their problems is easier.</p>
  290. <p>One way to foster healthy communication between siblings is to<strong> create a safe and supportive environment for open dialogue</strong><strong>.</strong> This can be achieved by setting aside regular family time where everyone can share their thoughts and feelings without judgment. It&#8217;s essential to model <a href="https://education.clickdo.co.uk/best-soft-skills-training-courses-in-the-uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">soft skills</a> like positive communication and active listening skills as parents. When siblings see their parents communicating effectively, they are more likely to adopt these skills themselves.</p>
  291. <h3>2. Avoid Comparisons or Taking Sides</h3>
  292. <p>Avoid comparing your children to each other, as this can exacerbate sibling rivalry. Each child is unique and has their own strengths and weaknesses. <strong>Celebrate their differences</strong> and encourage them to support each other rather than compete. When children feel they are being compared to their siblings, they may feel less appreciated and loved.</p>
  293. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-358" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Avoid-Comparisons-or-Taking-Sides.jpg" alt="relationships-in-family-for-dealing-with-sibling-rivalry" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Avoid-Comparisons-or-Taking-Sides.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Avoid-Comparisons-or-Taking-Sides-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  294. <p>Parents should also <strong>be aware of any power dynamics that may exist</strong> between siblings and ensure that every child has equal opportunities to speak and be heard. By making an effort to stay impartial, you&#8217;ll show your kids they are equal.</p>
  295. <h3>3. Work on Conflict Resolution Skills Together</h3>
  296. <p>Conflict is inevitable when it comes to siblings. However, to prevent here-and-there feuds from turning into a proper sibling rivalry and an everyday occurrence, it&#8217;s important to teach your children how to resolve conflicts in a healthy way. Encourage them to listen to each other, identify the problem, and brainstorm possible solutions. Teach them to <strong>compromise and work together</strong> to find a solution that works for everyone. This skill will help them deal with conflicts in other aspects of their lives.</p>
  297. <h3>4. Set Clear Boundaries</h3>
  298. <p>Another important thing is to set clear boundaries when it comes to sibling interactions. Make sure that everyone knows what is and isn&#8217;t acceptable behavior. For instance, if one sibling is being aggressive or hurtful, it&#8217;s important to intervene and set clear consequences for their actions. This will help children <strong>understand that there are consequences to their actions</strong><strong>.</strong></p>
  299. <h3>5. Spend Quality Time Together</h3>
  300. <p>Spending quality time together as a family can help to strengthen the bond between siblings. Encourage them to participate in activities that they both enjoy, and make sure that <strong>everyone gets equal attention and affection</strong><strong>.</strong> Go on adventures together as a family in your <a href="https://news.clickdo.co.uk/best-eco-friendly-cars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eco-friendly family car</a> and attend events that both of your kids will love. For instance, taking them to see <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/funniest-magicians-in-the-uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stage magicians</a> is a great way for kids of all ages to have fun. When children spend time together, they are able to build stronger relationships and create happy memories.</p>
  301. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-359" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Spend-Quality-Time-Together.jpg" alt="family-activities-for-relationships-to-deal-with-sibling-rivalry" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Spend-Quality-Time-Together.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Spend-Quality-Time-Together-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
  302. <h3>6. Give Them Their Own Space</h3>
  303. <p>It&#8217;s not easy to have your own space when you have to share it with someone else; therefore, sharing a room together can be a common cause of sibling rivalry. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to <strong>create individual spaces for each child</strong>, even if they&#8217;re sharing a room. Creating separate zones within the room, such as using room dividers or designating specific areas for each child, can help each child feel like they have their own space.</p>
  304. <p>This is especially true if there&#8217;s a bigger age gap between your kids. And even more true if one of them is a teenager. There are plenty of ways to redecorate a kids&#8217; room into a teenager&#8217;s room, and by separating the space, you&#8217;ll give your teen a place to call their own. Therefore, make sure to <a href="https://www.zippyshellphl.com/redecorating-a-kids-room-into-a-teenagers-room/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create a teen’s space</a> that will give your child a sense of autonomy and control over their environment.</p>
  305. <h3>7. Show Appreciation and Affection</h3>
  306. <p>Showing appreciation and affection towards each child is crucial when dealing with sibling rivalry. It&#8217;s crucial to make sure that your kids always feel loved, valued, and safe. Avoid favoritism and make an effort to <strong>treat each child fairly and equally</strong><strong>.</strong> When children feel appreciated and loved, they are less likely to feel jealous of their siblings.</p>
  307. <h3>Good Luck Dealing with Sibling Rivalry</h3>
  308. <p>Sibling rivalry is a normal and expected part of growing up in a family with multiple children. Although dealing with sibling rivalry will inevitably be difficult and challenging at times, it&#8217;s essential to approach the situation with patience, understanding, and a willingness to learn. Sibling rivalry doesn&#8217;t have to be a negative experience because, with the right approach, it can be turned into an opportunity for growth, learning, and self-improvement.</p>
  309. <p>Plus, you can always rely on more <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expert tips and advice</a> that will help you easily navigate parenthood.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-dealing-with-sibling-rivalry/">7 Effective Tips for Dealing with Sibling Rivalry</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  325. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Things have changed a lot in the past few decades. Chances are, when you were a kid, how you spent your time was drastically different from how kids today spend their free time.</p>
  326. <p>For starters, technology has advanced so much that we can barely comprehend that people didn&#8217;t always use to live like this. It&#8217;s not just about the advancement of technology but also about how widespread it has become.</p>
  327. <p>In fact, it has become such a standard part of our lives that people can struggle with managing screen time daily. Especially kids. While you may have watched an hour or two of kids-friendly television every day, today&#8217;s kids spend hours staring at their screens daily. Sometimes, a part of that is due to necessity (remote learning and homework), but a massive part of it is video games and numerous apps designed to keep kids engaged.</p>
  328. <p>The key is finding the line between your kid enjoying some free time on their tablet vs turning into a zombie who&#8217;s always glued to a screen. Lucky for you, we&#8217;re here to help you find the balance.</p>
  329. <p>In the rest of this article, we&#8217;ll cover some of the best ways you can start managing screen time for your kids.<strong> </strong></p>
  330. <h2><strong>1. </strong><strong>Be Realistic</strong></h2>
  331. <p>The first step to managing screen time for your kids is to be realistic. If you allowed your kids tablets and computers before, you can&#8217;t suddenly <a href="https://education.clickdo.co.uk/why-a-phone-ban-isnt-the-answer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ban gadgets</a> and expect them to be okay with it. Screen dependency is a form of addiction and quitting cold turkey won&#8217;t work for anyone.</p>
  332. <p>So, start by establishing smaller, more manageable objectives. Discuss these new guidelines with your child if you believe that limiting screen time is best for both of you. If you let older children participate in decision-making, they are more inclined to cooperate. On the other hand, with younger kids, fun ways to engage them in learning about daily limits and other vital activities include colourful images or charts.</p>
  333. <h2><strong>2. </strong><strong>Be Clear About Repercussions</strong></h2>
  334. <p>Setting clear constraints and boundaries is a part of our responsibility as parents. The same holds true with technological restrictions. Thus it is crucial to be explicit and consistent with your child about what will happen if they break these limits. However, setting strict rules is not enough; you also have to enforce them. When your kid breaks a rule, make sure they experience the consequences you&#8217;ve discussed.</p>
  335. <figure id="attachment_350" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-350" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-350" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Be-Clear-About-Repercussions.jpg" alt="woman-using-a-laptop-near-her-kid" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Be-Clear-About-Repercussions.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Be-Clear-About-Repercussions-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-350" class="wp-caption-text">Whatever rules you set, make sure you’re also following them – leading by example is the best way to teach your kids something.</figcaption></figure>
  336. <h2><strong>3. </strong><strong>Establish &#8220;Technology-Free&#8221; Zones</strong></h2>
  337. <p>Create areas in your home where all kinds of technology are not allowed. For example, choose the dining room as one area where your family can gather and spend time together without any screens or notifications popping up. Make sure you&#8217;re leading by example and following the rules you set. If you don&#8217;t respect technology-free zones, neither will your kids.</p>
  338. <h2><strong>4. </strong><strong>Set Aside Time to Unplug</strong></h2>
  339. <p>All family members should set aside time to turn off their gadgets. The two most popular instances are right before dinner or before bed. Set and enforce these rules. Make conversations with your kids and ask them about their favourite part of their day. Use this time to connect as a family and get to know each other better.</p>
  340. <p>An excellent way to enforce this is to<a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/11-things-to-consider-before-buying-bedroom-furniture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> avoid putting tv screens in your bedroom</a> or your kids&#8217; bedrooms. This won&#8217;t make either of you tempted to break the rules.</p>
  341. <h2><strong>5. </strong><strong>Never Use Screens To Calm or Distract Children</strong></h2>
  342. <p>One day, using screens to calm your kids will start to work against you. Why? Because if we let children use screens to relax, eventually, they won&#8217;t be able to calm themselves without one. What happens if you don&#8217;t have access to technology or if the circumstances don&#8217;t permit its use? Complete anarchy.</p>
  343. <p>For example, when planning a move, it might be easier to hand your kids a tablet and put them in a spot where you can see them while you handle the whole process. While it might feel easy, this is not a good strategy for you or them. For starters, <a href="https://packandgomoversny.com/ways-to-make-moving-day-easier-for-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">talk openly to your kids about moving</a> and their role in it. They might learn a lot by helping out during the moving day, even though they can&#8217;t lift heavy boxes and move furniture.</p>
  344. <figure id="attachment_351" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-351" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-351" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Never-Use-Screens-To-Calm-or-Distract-Children.jpg" alt="a-boy-painting-a-watermelon-with-watercolor" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Never-Use-Screens-To-Calm-or-Distract-Children.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Never-Use-Screens-To-Calm-or-Distract-Children-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-351" class="wp-caption-text">Inspire your kids to find new, creative hobbies</figcaption></figure>
  345. <h2><strong>6. </strong><strong>Provide Alternatives</strong></h2>
  346. <p>Children who struggle to find enjoyable activities often fall back on video games and TV when they run out of ideas. Sometimes kids should be given a piece of paper and some watercolours or sent to a park to play with a skipping rope, hula hoop, or chin-up bar to challenge themselves. While it shouldn&#8217;t be expected of parents to micromanage their children&#8217;s time, they can guide them toward more productive pursuits. So, the next time you&#8217;re buying your kid a present, consider getting them a creative gift or a <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/parents-guide-to-choosing-baby-toy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">toy that sparks their interest</a> rather than a video game that will rot their brain.</p>
  347. <h2><strong>7. </strong><strong>Make Them Earn It</strong></h2>
  348. <p>Screen time should be a reward. You might simply state, &#8220;No devices until your chores are done.&#8221; This is an excellent technique if you want to get your kids more involved with house chores. It will teach them true values and also help you if you&#8217;re swamped at work or just had a new baby and <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/self-care-tips-for-new-mothers-having-baby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">need some time to yourself</a>.</p>
  349. <p>Alternatively, you could get creative and provide screen time in accordance with the completed objectives. For instance, you may use the rule &#8220;30 minutes reading a book equals 30 minutes of screen time&#8221; if your child needs to practice reading and spend more time immersed in a book. You may match your child&#8217;s screen time to their activity time if they need to exercise often.</p>
  350. <figure id="attachment_352" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-352" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-352" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Make-Them-Earn-It.jpg" alt="smiling-boy-looking-at-a-screen" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Make-Them-Earn-It.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Make-Them-Earn-It-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-352" class="wp-caption-text">Instead of focusing only on decreasing screen time, focus on helping your kids use screens to socialize, learn and find inspiration.</figcaption></figure>
  351. <h2><strong>Final Thoughts</strong></h2>
  352. <p>Not all screen time is harmful. You should focus on managing screen time for your kids, so they don&#8217;t turn into zombies. However, you should also consider inspiring them to use their screen time for social interactions and educational purposes. Encourage your children to FaceTime distant family members, make home videos or animations, learn more about topics that interest them, or acquire ideas for hobbies, crafts, or other things to do with their gadgets. Teaching kids how to spend their time on devices productively is the best possible thing you can do for them.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/tips-for-managing-screen-time-for-your-kids/">Managing Screen Time for Your Kids: 7 Tips and Tricks</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  371. The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/how-to-make-new-home-child-friendly/">9 Ways to Make Your New Home Child-Friendly</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></description>
  372. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting a family and moving to a new home is such an exciting period in life. However, this comes with many obligations and worries.</p>
  373. <p>Parents need to think about different ways to <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/avoid-using-heaters-kids-rooms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keep their children safe</a> but also happy and healthy. After going through the moving process, you need to unpack and adapt your new home to its residents.</p>
  374. <p>And if you have young kids, such as babies and toddlers, this might be a bit more demanding. To help you not forget something, we’ve devised a list of ways to make your <a href="https://www.greenlivingblog.org.uk/small-changes-to-help-kids-be-more-eco-friendly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new home child-friendly and eco-friendly</a>.</p>
  375. <p>This checklist will help you do everything to maximize the safety inside your new house but also make it a pleasant and playful place to stay with your family.</p>
  376. <h2>1. Start with big items first</h2>
  377. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-370 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Start-with-big-items-first-1.jpg" alt="start-with-big-items-first-as-way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Start-with-big-items-first-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Start-with-big-items-first-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Like in every adaptation process, you need to have a system. We advise starting with the most oversized items on the list – the furniture pieces. If you’re renovating the house and <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/11-things-to-consider-before-buying-bedroom-furniture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">buying new furniture</a>, pick pieces with rounded, soft edges. This will minimize accidents and help you worry less about play sessions. However, if you already have pieces with sharp edges, you don’t need to get rid of them. Edge-protectors can help you protect the edges until your kids are old enough.</p>
  378. <p>Another thing you need to consider is if some of the pieces can be easily tipped over during play. Running, grabbing, and pulling are common in homes with kids, which is why you need to be extra careful with shelves, armchairs, and similar items that can turn over and hurt somebody. Make sure these are fixed and sturdy to ensure no accidents happen in your new home.</p>
  379. <h2>2. Mix playful and practical</h2>
  380. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-376 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Mix-playful-and-practical-1.jpg" alt="way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly-is-to-mix-playful-and-practical" width="640" height="511" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Mix-playful-and-practical-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Mix-playful-and-practical-1-300x240.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />If you want to make your new home child-friendly, you need to let the colors and creativity in. However, parents often worry about the mess and stains this may cause. One way to mix creativity and practicality is to paint the walls with semi-gloss paint that can be wiped down easily. You can even let your kids pick the colors for their rooms.</p>
  381. <p>This way, you will give them a feeling of importance, teach them how to make long-term decisions, but also keep them cheerful and playful. Another thing you can do is to use chalkboard paint and paint a shape on the wall – this will serve as a board for future art pieces.</p>

  383. <h2>3. Choose the right flooring</h2>
  384. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-371 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Choose-the-right-flooring-1.jpg" alt="way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly-is-to-choose-the-right-flooring" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Choose-the-right-flooring-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Choose-the-right-flooring-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Anything that stains or gets easily scratched is not great for a home with kids. That’s why you should play it smart when picking floors and carpets for your new home. To save you time and nerves, it’s best to go for the floors that are not easy to destroy – one of them is the vinyl floor. And if you like carpets, avoid expensive pieces in light colors.</p>
  385. <p>A much better option is installing carpet tiles. They are easy to replace and wash if stains appear on one or two tiles.</p>
  386. <h2>4. Go for hidden storage</h2>
  387. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-373 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Go-for-hidden-storage.jpg" alt="go-for-hidden-storage-as-way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly" width="640" height="434" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Go-for-hidden-storage.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Go-for-hidden-storage-300x203.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />When living with kids, you can expect breakage and curiosity touches to your valuable or fragile items. That’s why it&#8217;s best to go for shelves or cupboards with lids – covered storage will protect your items but also keep your home tidier.</p>
  388. <h2>5. Don’t forget the outside</h2>
  389. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-372 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Dont-forget-the-outside-1.jpg" alt="don’t-forget-the-outside-way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Dont-forget-the-outside-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Dont-forget-the-outside-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />When trying to make your new home child-friendly, don’t forget the outside. Encouraging outside playtime will make your kids spend more time in the fresh air. It will be healthier and more fun for them, but it will also minimize the number of accidents inside the house.</p>
  390. <p>Talk to your kids and see what items they want in their backyard. A tent, trampoline, sandbox, or even a treehouse – there are numerous options to make your backyard child-friendly and a perfect place to create childhood memories.</p>
  391. <p>Alt-tag: a child playing with sand</p>
  392. <h2>6. Safety gates</h2>
  393. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-378 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Safety-gates.jpg" alt="safety-gates-as-way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Safety-gates.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Safety-gates-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />If your kids are babies or toddlers, installing safety gates on critical areas such as stairs is necessary. There are retractable solutions too, so they don’t take up a lot of space. However, this will maximize safety and help you relax, knowing your child won’t get hurt.</p>
  394. <h2>7. Locks</h2>
  395. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-379 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Locks-2.jpg" alt="way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly-is-using-locks" width="640" height="397" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Locks-2.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Locks-2-300x186.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />One of the common pieces of advice you get when improving the safety of your home is to ‘lift’ dangerous items on shelves and keep them away from kids. However, that’s not always possible to do. That’s why you should go for special locks you can install on cabinets that contain breakable items, cleaning supplies, or other items that kids shouldn’t touch. Furthermore, be sure to use special covers to protect the electrical outlets, as these are very interesting for kids at a young age.</p>

  397. <h2>8. Moving with kids</h2>
  398. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-377 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Moving-with-kids-1.jpg" alt="moving-with-kids-is-way-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly" width="640" height="426" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Moving-with-kids-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Moving-with-kids-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Once you purchase a new family home and prepare it for your loved ones, it&#8217;s time to organize the move. Moving with kids is undoubtedly one of the most challenging events for parents. That’s why you should do everything to <a href="https://www.getmovedtoday.com/help-your-kids-cope-with-moving/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">make the process easy</a>.</p>
  399. <p>Start the preparation time, prepare the budget, and hire professional movers to help you out. These steps will ensure you save time and energy and avoid getting overwhelmed. Taking care of your kids while moving is pretty demanding, so be sure to simplify the process and save energy wherever you can.</p>
  400. <h2>9. Involve the kids in the process</h2>
  401. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-374 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Involve-the-kids-in-the-process-1.jpg" alt="involve-the-kids-in-the-process-to-make-your-new-home-childfriendly" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Involve-the-kids-in-the-process-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Involve-the-kids-in-the-process-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />If they are old enough, your kids can participate in moving preparation and the decoration of the new home<em>.</em> Valuing their opinion and asking for help will ensure they feel like a part of the moving process.</p>
  402. <p>It&#8217;s essential to <a href="https://education.clickdo.co.uk/how-to-ensure-a-safe-and-healthy-home-environment-for-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">make your new home safe and child-friendly</a>, but don&#8217;t forget to include the kids in the process. They will accept the new home much more quickly, and they will enjoy every step of the way to this new adventure.</p>
  403. <p>Hopefully, this checklist for a new, safe, and child-friendly home will help prepare you as best as possible for your home move.</p>The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/how-to-make-new-home-child-friendly/">9 Ways to Make Your New Home Child-Friendly</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></content:encoded>

  419. The post <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/self-care-tips-for-new-mothers-having-baby/">4 Self-Care Tips For New Mothers Having A Baby</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk">Baby Gifts</a>.]]></description>
  420. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a baby really does turn your life upside down, as all of a sudden you have someone else to look after, making it easy to put yourself last.</p>
  421. <p>This is a completely natural instinct, however, it is vital that you take the time to look after yourself, for the benefit of you and your baby.</p>
  422. <p>You will be a better parent if you have some “me time” and put yourself first every now and again, which is what we are here to show you how to do.</p>
  423. <p>Some of these things are only small but can make the world of difference when it comes to how you feel.</p>
  424. <h2>1. Get Out of the House</h2>
  425. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-366 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Get-Out-of-the-House-1.jpg" alt="get-out-of-the-house-as-tip-for-new-mothers-having-a-baby" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Get-Out-of-the-House-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Get-Out-of-the-House-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Our first very important tip when it comes to self-care after having a baby is to get out of the house. We understand that it can feel very overwhelming, the idea of leaving the house, however, once you bite the bullet and do it, you will feel so much better. Heading outside for some fresh air will be so beneficial for both you and the baby. If you have been going in and out of the same rooms every day, a change of scenery will help you feel more like you again!</p>
  426. <p>We’re not saying this needs to be a big event, but simply put some super comfy clothes on like <a href="http://boandtee.com/collections/leggings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">womens gym leggings</a> or joggers and an oversized jumper and go out for maybe just 10 minutes. If you feel up to it, jump in the shower before you head out and you will feel lovely and fresh.</p>
  427. <p>You shouldn’t feel pressure to go outside before you feel comfortable, but when you do head out to have a stroll around areas you feel familiar with, you will realise that you can’t believe you didn’t do it sooner. If you don’t feel like this, that’s also okay, as every parent’s journey is different. However, the time outside will be good for you and the baby.</p>
  428. <p>If you feel worried, go with your partner, a family member or a friend so you have that extra support if you need it.</p>
  429. <h2>2. Sleep When The Baby Sleeps</h2>
  430. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-367 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Sleep-When-The-Baby-Sleeps.jpg" alt="sleep-when-the-baby-sleeps-as-tip-for-new-mothers-having-a-baby" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Sleep-When-The-Baby-Sleeps.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Sleep-When-The-Baby-Sleeps-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Next up, you should always try to <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/support-and-services/sleep-and-tiredness-after-having-a-baby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sleep when the baby sleeps.</a> Life is hectic with a newborn, and it is so easy to look around the house at everything that might need to be done and try to tick a few things off your to-do list whilst your baby is asleep. However, you need the rest just as much as your baby, so use this time to sleep whenever you feel like you need to.</p>
  431. <p>Things around the house will get done at some point, but your main priority in the weeks and even months after having your baby is to look after yourself. Like we said, not only will you be helping yourself, but you will also be helping your baby by being a healthy parent.</p>
  432. <p>Give your body the rest it needs, and you will certainly feel the benefits.</p>
  433. <h2>3. Spend Quality Time With Your Partner</h2>
  434. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-364 size-full" src="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Spend-Quality-Time-With-Your-Partner-1.jpg" alt="spend-quality-time-with-your-partner-as-tip-for-new-mothers-having-a-baby" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Spend-Quality-Time-With-Your-Partner-1.jpg 640w, https://www.babybgifts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Spend-Quality-Time-With-Your-Partner-1-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />Another important component of self-care after having a baby is spending time with your partner. Relationships change after having a baby and like we said, when your baby is the priority, it can be so easy to push everything else to the back of your priorities, including time with your loved one. You may not be able to do all the same things you used to just after having your baby, but you can adjust to your new way of life and might even enjoy your new quality time even more than before.</p>
  435. <p>This might be something as simple as ordering a takeaway and eating at the table, without the TV or any distractions, just the two of you. You could have a pamper night where you watch your favourite film, give each other massages and do face masks. The two of you could go for brunch and take the baby along, as this is a shorter meal, so you are more likely to be able to time it around your baby’s nap.</p>
