When you have your first child, your life will change dramatically, and you will find yourself in need of advice and guidance so that you can fulfill your obligations towards the new baby. Therefore, we present to you in the following lines 23 educational tips that every new parent needs.

Tips for parents and carers

Parents who have their first child need a number of tips that will make their lives easier and help them do their role towards their child in a better way. These tips are as follows:

Prepare for illnesses

You should keep some medications at home, such as rehydration drinks, so that you do not need to go to the store late at night when your child suffers something bad.

Get your child used to sleeping alone

When your child starts to feel sleepy, put him in his crib even if his eyes are still open, because if you rock him to sleep again, he will always need your help to sleep.

Enjoy your time with your child

Enjoy the moments you spend with your child and stop worrying about buying diapers, buying milk, doing laundry, or other tasks.

Ask your child to help with housework

Get your child used to doing some household chores, such as making his bed, emptying the trash can, and setting the table. These actions will help the child take responsibility and will accustom him to participating and helping his parents in the work they do.

Make math easy and fun

To make mathematics easier and more fun, take advantage of opportunities to play with numbers. For example, when you go to the grocery store, ask your child to count the apples when he puts them in the basket.

Promote harmony between your children

While you are sitting with your children, ask each one of them to mention the positives that he sees in his brother. This will help your children to look at the positives that exist in each one of them instead of looking at the negatives, and this contributes to enhancing harmony between them.

You are a role model for your child

Be a good role model for your child so that he can follow you, and do not be disturbed and anxious so as not to negatively affect your child’s view of you and his desire to have children in the future.

. Read to your child

Reading helps a child build imagination and it also helps parents spend quality time with their children, so read to your child every day.

Don't become your child's personal servant

From a young age, accustom your child to putting dirty clothes in their place and accustoming him to hanging his jackets in the closet, so you will not have to do these tasks yourself.

Apologize to your child when you make a mistake

When you make a mistake with your child, apologize to him, and this way your child knows that there is no problem with mistakes occurring as long as you acknowledge them and apologize.

Trust your feeling

When your child doesn't seem well, your gut will tell you that you should get him checked out even if you can't pinpoint what's wrong with him, so trust your instincts.

Find help

You must identify the people you can contact when you need help. These people must have sufficient experience to give you opinions and advice that will help you and your child.

Teach your child how to communicate with people

Get your child used to smiling, greeting people, and communicating with them when he meets them in different places. This will help him not be afraid of people.

Get your child used to taking responsibility

Let your child take responsibility for some activities, such as bathing and reading, so you get time to rest and your child gets used to taking responsibility.

Know your child

Every child has certain behaviors and temperaments, so know your child well and act with him according to his character and behavior.

Give yourself a deadline

When you are angry, you will not be able to respond to your child well, so do not respond to him immediately. Take your time to calm down and then talk to your child.

Don't worry about meals for young children

Calm your nerves about young children's meals. You will find that they have strange habits when eating, so do not worry. They will eat when they feel hungry.

.Talk about your financial decisions with your child

When you buy a certain product that has a low price but is of the same quality as high-priced products, you must explain to your child why you did that so that he understands your thinking.

Go out with your child

Try to spend time with your child outside the home so that you stay away from television screens and household chores and spend a pleasant time under the sunshine, in the rain, or under the clear sky. These will be wonderful moments that your child will be happy with.

Turn off your phone

It is best to turn off your phone when you are with your child so that you do not receive a message or call that will distract you from the time you spend with your child. This will make your child realize how much you care about him.

Answer your child's questions

Children always love to know everything around them, so they constantly ask you questions, and you must answer their questions because this helps them learn about their world and the things surrounding them.

Keep a backup copy of your videos and photos with your children

In order not to lose your wonderful memories with your children, keep a backup copy of your photos and videos of you and your children. You can use a cloud service or a backup drive. This will be better than losing your beautiful memories.

Foster a sense of gratitude in your child

Get your child used to thinking about the positive things that happened to him during the day, and in this way you will enhance his feelings of happiness and gratitude.

By taking advantage of these educational tips, every new parent can effectively perform his role with his child, and they can also spend quality time with each other, regardless of the difficulties and situations they are exposed to.
