Quieter Zzzzz Nights for Toddlers

(Above is an image from: www.realsimple.com)

If your child wakes up screaming inconsolably an hour or two after dozing off, she might be having night terrors.

Kids as young as 18 months can suffer from this unique sleep disorder that causes partial arousals from sleep, usually accompanied by piercing cries, says a new study in Pediatrics. Night terrors, which experts had thought primarily affected preschoolers, may be triggered by sleep deprivation, fever, and certain medicines. The researchers found that genetics play a role too. Fortunately, half of the kids in the study who had terrors at 18 months grew out of them by 30 months. While the episodes can be scary for you, your child won't remember a thing. Don't touch or talk to him during a terror - it can make it last longer, says Parents advisor and sleep expert Jodi Mindell, Ph.D. Just stay in his room until it's over to be sure he doesnt bolt up and injure himself.

BFF tips:

To make your child sleep even more soundly, put on a versatile onesie so that it covers his or her stomach during zzzz. BFF has the perfect PJs for your toddlers!

Kizclub--My Fav. English Site For Preschoolers

http://www.kizclub.com/index.html

Today I'm going to share one of my favorite English educational site for kiddos to our dearest BFFs--Kizclub. As a previous English tutor to preschoolers, I used to have very high demand for English worksheets and teaching ideas. Thanks goodness I had found this darling website with really useful props and printout games for preschoolers. Now being a full-time mommy, this site is helping me alot by filling up my Ethan's spare time, too! Take a look at it and you'll know why.


Here's one of the many stuffs we had printed out for Ethan.
He particularly loves this Alphabets puzzle set. All I did was printed out the black and white copies to have him color the pieces of letters for me. This could keep him busy one whole afternoon. Cut the pieces out yourself or have your kid cut them, if you're confident with their scissoring skills. Laminate them if you wish them to last longer. Lastly, cut out the laminated pieces and ta-dah. You could keep him busy another one whole afternoon, and educational!
