Autumn, also known as fall, is one of the best seasons for family bonding time. Who doesn’t love the calming cool breeze, the shedded orange leaves adorning the streets and wearing cozy sweaters?
It’s an exciting time for children and adults alike, since it marks the end of summer and lets you know that winter is right on the horizon. Christmas isn’t too far either! So here are 12 things that you can do with your little child to enjoy the season of fall:
Autumn is unanimously associated with Halloween, and no Halloween is complete without carved pumpkins. Help your child carve out the insides of a small pumpkin with a spoon and use a knife to carve out the details yourself.
Add a sweet touch to your fall activities by baking pumpkin pie (or any other pumpkin dessert) together. Your child will definitely enjoy preparing it and eating it with you.
Trees shed leaves in various shades of red, orange, yellow and the best way to be creative with these leaves is to make art with them. You can decorate glass jars with leaves, or even make animals out of them. You can also decorate your wall with such vibrant leaves. The ideas are endless!
Your child will be ecstatic to join you to paint his/her bedroom walls in radiant colors. This is a fun way to incorporate bonding time with painting and will give your bedroom a nice makeover.
A pumpkin patch is beautiful place for taking family pictures and for your child to play! If you wish, you can also hire a photographer so that you can have candid photos of your kid having a great time with family.
Going on a hayride is very exciting for children as well as adults. Take a delightful ride in an open truck or a wagon decorated with hay but make sure your child is not allergic to hay beforehand.
As winter slowly approaches, you can revel in some much-needed warmth by sitting around a bonfire. Help your kids roast the marshmallows carefully and enjoy the delectable flavor together.
What is fall without Halloween? It is surely the best time to dress up in quirky outfits. You can also recreate your favorite Disney movie characters with your young one.
Involve some kids from the neighborhood in a fall-specific scavenger hunt. Be creative with the list and watch as little kids run around searching for those items. This is a unique way to liven up your child’s outdoor play time.
Candy apples (or toffee apples) are super popular during autumn. Making them is incredibly easy and you can even get crazy with sprinkles, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce.
Make a scrapbook with your child, filling it with pictures, drawings and other artworks. This will serve as a great way to save your memories in an artistic form. Give your children the freedom to decorate the scrapbook however they want!
Finally, enjoy the fall season by jumping into a big pile of leaves with your little one, which is sure to make their giggles turn into outright laughter.

Parenting is both an art and a science. An ideal parent is the one who displays unconditional acceptance of what the child is. A parent’s relationship with his/her child has great
influence on child’s actions including child behavior problems. If your relationship with your child is not good, they’re not going to listen to you. See yourself how you relate to
other people. If you have a good relationship with them, you tend to trust them more, listen to their opinions, and agree with them. If you don’t like someone you just don’t
like, you will ignore their opinion.
7 Tips to become an ideal parent are:
Don’t yell, be loud or vent your frustration on your kid. Convey your message in a soothing tone. Always remember to make a proper choice of words. Talk to them about their
mistakes and teach them not to repeat the mistakes again. There are many other ways to discipline a child, including ‘time out,’ which works better and does not involve
aggression.
If your child is less motivated, it can be a source of great worry, frustration, sometimes even despair and that’s where the trouble can begin. Convincing your children to do
things they don’t want to do can be too challenging. Also making them stop doing the things you don’t want them to do can be even trickier still. If your child experiences
failure, motivate him to try hard and leave a trail of positivity! Also appreciate your child for good work, which boosts confidence!
Keep a proper track of your child’s development. Your child is growing up. Consider how age is affecting the child’s behavior. Encourage question answer sessions and appreciate
their curiosity. Answer every question they ask you and are curious to know. A child’s curiosity knows no bounds! Get on track with them so that they travel ahead smoothly!
After all you play a vital role in the smooth life cycle of your kid.
Children may undergo some restrictions imposed by their parents which means that even if the child wants to do something, he cannot do because of the restrictions. This
creates a sense of self-control. When a parent encourages independence, it helps the child to develop a sense of self direction in which the child is free to explore and perform
things! Independence is a gift that a parent can give to their children. Cultivate independence by showing confidence in your children’s capabilities, teaching them that they
have control over their lives and giving them the freedom to make their own decisions.
There is nothing more powerful than believing in someone unconditionally. We often see parents nagging at their children and pushing them to be the perfect child. No doubt
they love their children, but this very act of trying to change someone gives out a strong signal of disbelief. Be steadfast when your child is being stubborn or just plain bossy.
The best way to get respectful treatment from your child is to treat him respectfully. You should give your child the same courtesies you would give to anyone else. Speak to
your child politely. Respect his opinion. Pay attention when he is speaking to you. Treat him kindly. Try to please him when you can. Children treat others the way their parents
treat them. Your relationship with your child acts as the foundation for his relationships with others.
Unconditional love is love without requiring anything in return. Some powerful ways to show unconditional love to your children are by learning their language, serving them
unconditionally, learning to listen to them, being spontaneous etc.

‘Screen time for kids’ has been a topic of numerous discussions. Some people believe that little kids should be kept away from technology at all costs. On the other hand, an extensive survey, based on American children says that a large number of kids now have access to technology. Kids are known to grab an electronic device for leisure and it’s a win-win situation for parents if it also contains an educational value. Children are curious little creatures and it is vital to keep a check on what kind of content your child is looking at on the device screen.
Here are the best ways you can ensure your child’s screen time is his/her learning time as well:
Stories fuel a child’s imagination and creativity. An educational app like Kidloland, that tells stories with cute animations is a great way to get the child thinking and develop a reading habit. You can also pause the stories to interact with your child and ask questions about what they learned from it. Consider downloading e-books for kids as well.
It’s no surprise that colors, shapes and funny characters are very intriguing to a child. Download apps which provide such creative and eye-catching content where your kid can learn to identify and distinguish between different objects and classify them.
Visual content which is interactive is a great tool to keep your child on his/her toes! Ask them questions like ‘Can you tell me what he’s doing?’ or ‘What do you think will happen next?’ and watch as they reply with utmost excitement. This will help your child’s thinking, vocabulary and give a kick-start to his/her analytical skills at an early age.
Find apps which will rack your child’s brain such as jigsaw puzzles, object sorting etc. Such fun gaming apps will make sure your child hones his/her intellectual abilities right from the beginning. Check if the games are safe and provide good graphics for the overall development of your child.
Memory games have been a staple in every kid’s learning process and technology just makes it even more fun for them. Find memory games which help your child visualize and remember animals, fruits, objects, names etc. easily. Don’t forget to engage and participate in a quiz session after the game ends.
Art is an important part of a child’s education. Encourage your children to express their ideas, thoughts, and feelings through apps which support drawings, no matter how imperfect their artworks are. Appreciate their effort and motivate them to think of more ideas.
Go through the app beforehand and check if it is actually beneficial and provides good quality information to your child. It is necessary to find excellent content online that is useful, gives good results and makes your kid’s early learning experience even better.
Screen time is crucial for children as it exposes them to a whole new world of creativity and imagination. On average, 15 to 20 minutes a day is a good duration for your child to play and learn on his/her favorite electronic device.

Flying with little children can have either of the following outcomes; it can be a dream or
nothing short of a complete nightmare. It is more worrying if you’re traveling long-haul
flights which last from six to twelve hours or sometimes even more. Parents all over the
world board flights with toddlers with the constant fear that their child will throw tantrums,
get bored or cry their hearts out which leads to a bad experience for everybody involved.
It is very important to plan your journey beforehand because this planning will ensure safe,
happy travels for you and your child. If you plan to fly with your little bundle of joy any
time soon, here are eight things you should definitely take into consideration.
If your kid is younger than two years, the airline will give you a free ticket for your child for
domestic flights. For international flights, lap babies are charged 10% of the fare of the
adult accompanying the child. Carrying your child on your lap the whole time is a bad
idea in case unanticipated turbulence hits hard, especially if the journey is long-haul. Purchase a good seat early (airlines will most likely offer you a discount for your child) and buy a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved car seat which guarantees your child’s safety.
If you’re traveling alone with your toddler, don’t be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help
from the air-hostesses on board. They will be ready to assist you in case your toddler
understandably freaks out, especially if it is his/her first time on a flight.
Little kids need to be constantly entertained. If you bring a tablet or give your phone
loaded with kid entertainment apps, you can take a little break while your child is engaged
with the device. You can choose a variety of apps from the app store which has fun
elements and educational activities such as KidloLand.
Flying is scary, even for some adults! It is possible that your child will feel uneasy or want
to throw up while the plane is taking off and landing. Distract your child with some candy or
a juice box with a straw to comfort them and ease the ear pain which comes with the
change in air pressure.
Make sure the snacks you pack are healthy for your baby. Even better if you can get creative with it! Since a child gets bored very easily with one form of entertainment, switch it up by offering toys (preferably not the squeaky ones) and fill your carry-on bag with his/her favorite food. After playing for quite some time, your child will get tired and eventually fall asleep.
Make sure you pick a window seat for your child and a middle seat for yourself so that your
child has room to stretch and relax during the long journey. If that is not possible, ask
fellow passengers if they would like to kindly switch seats.
It is crucial to book flights with timings which coincide with your child’s nap-time. Most
moms prefer traveling long distances overnight. When the lights dim in the airplane, it’ll be
easier for your child to fall asleep.
Don’t forget to carry your toddler’s must-have products and supplies. Clothing,
diapers, soft blankets, medicines, socks are a few of the things you must carry with you at
all times which will come in handy in case of an emergency.
Traveling with toddlers doesn’t have to be scary if you follow the above tips. Happy
traveling!
