“The more control children have in their lives, the less they look to control the things they can’t. That’s why it’s not really about “the red plate,” it’s about getting to make their own choice. Autonomy is one cup that young children need filled regularly and making choices is one way they fulfil that need.”

— J. Milburn, parenting mentor

Where the wild things are

Take a walk on the wild side and take you’re little one to a petting farm, zoo, aquarium, or even just the local duck pond. You’ll be helping them get acquainted with animals – and getting out yourself! Don’t forget the photos – they might not remember the day, but they’ll love looking back on it when they’re older.
