The Power Of Communication: The best ways to interact with your kids

The Power Of Communication: The best ways to interact with your kids

Family
16th July 2017
by MummyConstant

As a parent, you’ll spend hours of your life interacting with your children. From the moment they appear and flip your world upside down, those little smiles and telling looks will make all the difference. Even when your child doesn’t seem incredibly responsive, they’re taking things in, ingesting what they can see, and learning all the time. Communication is so powerful, and it’s such an important way to build relationships and get to know your children. If you find it difficult to break down barriers or you’re looking for new ways to interact with your kids and make the learning experience more fun, this guide should come in handy.

Benefits of reading bedtime stories to children

Benefits of reading bedtime stories to children

Book worms
20th October 2016
by MummyConstant

Have you ever seen a kid in a movie or a TV show asking for their parents to read a bedtime story? And how many times has your child asked you to do the same? Reading aloud to children before they fall asleep is not just a thing of the past or a cinematic nod to suburban culture; it’s a routine which is good for children and their development. American Academy of Pediatrics even recommends reading to infants from birth. Some researchers suggest that bedtime stories are boosting child’s brain development in many ways. So, here are some actual benefits both children and parents can receive from this lovely routine.

Noah and Isla love books, Isla more so than Noah, but they both love reading books and looking at the pictures whilst telling the story. There are a few books that we have recently purchased that they love reading a long with now, they like the stories that much. I love looking at The Works website as they always have such incredible offers on that you could buy the children a new book every week and it wouldn’t break the bank! Great value for money and fantastic quality books too.

We were sent a fabulous book for Isla’s second birthday from itsyourstory.co.uk, it is a fantastic personalised book website where you can buy books from all different themes for all different ages.  A trip to the farm for Isla’s birthday is such a great idea for a 2 year old as she loves pointing at things and telling me what they are and the fact her face is in the book makes it all the more magical for her.

#worldbookday – Thursday 6th March 2014

#worldbookday – Thursday 6th March 2014

6th March 2014
by MummyConstant

I have never had the “excuse” to do the whole World Book Day, dressing up and celebrating books with the children before now. Noah is at the age now where he will embrace dressing up and Isla loves putting on her princess dresses – so we certainly made the most out of it this year. It is Pirate and Princess day in the Constant household.

365 Project
23rd April 2018
by MummyConstant

Whilst Noah was at Beavers, we took the doggies for a walk around Paxton Pits. Noah did pond dipping there so it made sense to all walk the doggies at the same time. So excited to hear the news about the new baby Prince. I felt so emotional when I watched William & Kate show off their new bundle.

Today Isla cycled by herself when we went out on another family bike ride. I’m so impressed. She cycled 7.7 Miles this week, without complaint. We stopped at the park for our picnic and the pub for a fizzy drink. It was a lovely lunchtime. We then went to Nannas for dinner which was nice and chilled. Well, once the kiddies had calmed down.

  • I’m looking forward to more sunsets like this one. Not the grey, dismal one we have tonight. Seeing a lot of jokes about how our Summer has been & gone, it’s been making me laugh. I love the rape seed fields. I might set up a desk & work from there One Day! That would be inspiring... I hope everyone’s had a nice day!
  • I absolutely adored watching this video of Prince William & Kate, introducing their new baby bundle. Look at Kate’s smile, totally in love with her son. She is such an inspiration to women, everywhere. I don’t know anyone who can look that amazing hours after giving birth (and she’s in heels)... congratulations William & Kate, George & Charlotte. Very excited to hear what this latest addition is called... 🤴 👸 👶🏼 Screenshot taken from the @bbcnews footage.
  • And that’s a wrap for this weekend... we’ve had a beautiful weekend in the fabulous Spring sunshine. Looking forward to more outdoors activities, sun basking and general sunshiney things next weekend. Until then.... #havenicedreams
  • Perfect daisy mattress to take a quick rest. We went on another family bike ride today and we cycled 7.7 Miles. Woohoo Isla, her second bike ride. We all enjoyed our cooling and refreshing Coke at the riverside pub 👌🏻🚲
  • My little man is growing up. I blame his shorter hair cut. He is so exhausted. School, football, friends and sister has warn him out this week! I love this shot. It’s not often I capture Noah in a pensive mood...
  • This moment was just perfect: sunset, calm & a mass of yellow. Precisely 4 minutes before this photo was taken she was larking about and being silly! Heat = tiredness. We had to chance it though, these rape seed fields are just beautiful.
  • I love all the colours that have popped out over the last 48 hours, rape seed fields have suddenly gone yellow & there is beautiful blossom on trees everywhere I look. I love this time of year. Everything is coming back to life... 🌸🌱🌾☀️
  • First BBQ of the year: homemade carrot & lentil burgers, aubergine 🍆 (obviously), corn on the cob & a Italian salad. Delicious! Thank you @deanconstant... •
Who else has had a bbq this evening?
  • It's a good job we had some fun activities planned with the dismal weather of last week. Getting in the mood for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ later on in the year. The kiddies have a fabulous production line going: Daddy has been helping to sort the stickers, Isla has been peeling the backs and Noah has been carefully locating their position in the album and identifying duplicates! They had had a lot of fun. Thank you @PaniniUKOfficial for making our rainy days a little more fun last week. •

  • What a perfect spot for a picnic dinner? I can’t wait to have a pretty garden of my own. The kids have been doing crosswords on the picnic blanket. I like seeing them working together. Not a sight I see very often! •
☀️ thank you sunshine for making us happy this evening.
