Small kids never sit still, so in between mealtimes fuel them up with healthy snacks to give them extra energy.

Introducing healthy snacks can sometimes be difficult, but persevere. Gradually try new things to see what works. And if you can, get rid of any non-nuturient, junk food that’s in the pantry so that you don’t give in.

Sitting down with the kids and eating with them will also help as they’re often more inclined to eat what you’re eating, and don’t want to miss out.

Toilet training in 3 days or less

There are so many ways to go about toilet training or potty training your child. You may want to read up on a number of different options before you start, but this method of toilet training them in 3 days or less is definitely worth a look. The idea that your child could get comfortable using the potty in a few days may seem unbelievable to parents expecting toilet training to be a lengthy and difficult process.
