Help an Angry Child Calm Down
Littlebirdiesecrets says:
1. Blow Bubbles
As adults we often try taking deep breaths to help us calm down in intense situations. But each time I would suggest that my son take a few deep breaths to calm down, he would get even angrier. Our counselor suggested blowing bubbles instead. Not only is a fun, happy activity for children, but the act of blowing air through the bubble wand requires them to breathe deeply. Soon they’ve relaxed and calmed down to a point where they can talk a little more rationally about whatever issue is at hand.
Start a Smashbook
The realistic mama says: This is a delightfully simplified way to chronicle life’s special moments without the time commitment usually required by scrapbooking. The best news – you can start today!
Taming the Tantrum
Shopping is never easy with a toddler who is still learning that tantrums don’t work. Take along a sign to hang on your cart – The other shoppers might more appreciate your efforts!

Alphabet Nursery Wall Decor
A cute idea going around is to decorate a wall in your nursery with an alphabet – like pictured below (pics randomly found on google). A friend of mine was invited to a baby shower and the smart party planner asked everyone invited to bring a specific letter.. in my friend’s case, she was asked to bring a ‘U’. I think she is going to take a horseshoe to give the expecting parents for the letter ‘U’. Genius!!
You can find un-decorated letters at your local craft store – or search around for letters in your environment (like the horseshoe!)
