Should I correct the way my son holds his crayon?

At two years of age, children do not have the muscle control or coordination to hold their crayons using the correct, “three-finger” grip. Instead, you will find that your son using either a “fisted grasp” (when the crayon is held in a closed fist and the whole arm moves from the shoulder) or a “palmar grasp” (when the crayon is held i...

My two-year-old only wants to eat yogurt all day. How can I encourage her to eat other things without inciting a tantrum?

Doctors and nutritionists often advise parents to think about getting complete nutrients over the course of the day, rather than at each meal. Yogurt is at least a healthy choice and a good place to start! What do you think your child likes about yogurt? If it's the taste, perhaps introduce fruits that match her favorite flavors. If it...

What children's books would you recommend for two-year-olds?

There are so many wonderful books to introduce your child to the joy of reading. One of my personal favorites is “Not a Box” by Antoinette Portis, which tells a story of a very imaginative bunny and his box, a box that can be become anything that he wants it to be! Young children also love “The Very Busy Spider” and “Head to Toe” by Er...

Encourage your daughter to be independent by praising her when she does walk on her own. If your daughter wants to be carried, give her the choice to walk while holding your hand or ride in the...

When do kids really learn to count?

As with reading and talking, parents can introduce mathematical thinking from the start. Counting everyday objects (stairs, blocks, snacks) is a fun beginning. Some toddlers may even repeat a few numbers or memorize a sequence of numbers, though this is usually by rote, rather than a true understanding of numbers or counting. This is t...

How do I teach my child to spit in the sink after brushing?

Children are natural imitators. In order for your child to learn how to brush properly, it helps for parents or siblings to act as role models. Try brushing your teeth alongside your little one, or enlisting the help of your older children, to demonstrate the proper order of brushing, rinsing, and spitting. The spitting part may not co...
