Don’t go with the multi-colored cups or sippy cups for our kids or tods. They will sooner or later fight over a different color. So keep one color for everyone to avoid any sort of dispute.

Kids love to set routines especially if it is with their parents. You can start their routine with a bubble bath, songs or reading story books followed by some snuggling. If you feel that you can follow the same routine then it is okay to establish it too.

Limit choices:

Our parents now ask kids to have things of their own choice. By giving them such offers, it will only backfire to the parents. So it is better that you limit the choices and make sure that there are minimum chances of arguments or fight between the siblings.

Multiple items for multiple kids:

Sharing is a good thing but some kids do not prefer sharing. It is better to avoid any such situation so make sure that whatever you buy for your kids buy more than one to stay away from any sort of sibling trouble.

One menu only:

Give the same food to all your kids. Do not prepare different meals for each and every one of them. It will only cause a hassle for yourself and another dispute between the siblings.

Say no to expensive toys:

The more expensive toys you buy for them, the lesser they might play with it. Save your money and let them beg for the expensive toys if they because it will end up in the trash can in a day or two.

Under promise, over deliver:

Make sure to keep the fun activity plans a secret from your kids. Once you know it is happening for sure, break the news to them.  If you tell them beforehand and plans change at the last moment, it will devastate them and you will have to face huge tantrums. Surprise them when it is all finalized and planned and in this way, you will be able to get the best mom status too.

Don’t compare yourself with other parents:

By copying or imitating other parents thinking that they are doing something better and getting influenced by their choices will only make your life troublesome. Never underestimate yourself and do what you feel is best for your little one. Focus on yourself and your family and that will always be the best decision you’ll ever make.
