‘No’ for an answer… There are no rules or guidelines for

these kids.

The chapati has to be fed by either of the parents while thechild jumps up and down the sofa or simply runs around.Their eating habits… they just don’t eat anything other than

achapati. And that too without any dal or vegetable. So, if

their5-year-old daughter has 10 spoons of milk in a day, it is acelebration in the family). On every trip with the kid in themarket, a toy is bought, simply because the child asked for

it.The result, there are hundreds of toys lying around and allbattered and uncared for. Incidentally, both the girls are

QUALITY TIME

EAT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY- Children who eat meals regularly

with their family eat better and have healthier eating habits.

Serve family-style meals sitting at a table.

Turn off the TV and enjoy your time together.

Provide healthy food choices and encourage

children to eat what you eat.

Avoid rushing and forcing children to eat.

Let children decide how much food to eat.

Talk about the food, where it came from, how it was prepared, and

how it makes them feel.

Let children help prepare the meal, set the table and clean

up.

Reading with Children To raise a reader, you don’t need to schedule specific times.

Reading skills are built moment by moment and day to day. Let your child see you read. Share information from your own reading with your child. Read aloud. Offer books (or time to read) as a reward for Achievement or chores Try books on tape. Allow pre-readers to “tell the story” from pictures. Have children retell favourite stories. Have children evaluate stories—favourite character, plot. Connect stories to children’s lives.

Relax and have fun with your children and books!

BRAIN DIET

To Promote Healthy Eating Habits

• Be a good role model by preparing and eating healthy meals.• Serve a variety of foods that are attractively presented.• Keep portion sizes small – children can be put off by large

amounts of food.• Schedule meals and snacks so that children are hungry whenits time to eat (but not too hungry) and let them stop when they

are full.• Avoid using food as a reward or punishment.• Involve children in planning and preparing meals

Here are a few suggestions to consider when approaching toilet

training with your child

•Show your child the potty and its location before you start asking him to sit on it. Explain to your child what the potty is for, and start to talk about using the toilet, if you haven't already.•Before you begin formal training, keep track of when your child urinates and has a bowel movement. After about two weeks, you should start to see patterns. •Only have your child use the potty in the bathroom. Though it may be tempting to put it in his bedroom, it is important for him to• learn that the bathroom is where • he uses the toilet.

• Assist your child, to pull his pants and underwear up and down. Buy clothes that are loose fitting and doesn't have a lot of snaps or buttons.

• While your child is sitting on the potty, you may find that reading to him is a good way to keep him occupied. This is a good time to pull out those toilet-training picture books.

• If your child is afraid of the sound the toilet makes when it is flushed, give him some opportunities to flush it when he is not using it.

• Teach your child to wash his hands after he uses the toilet. Keep the soap and towel in the same place all the time so your child can locate them easily
