Getting Toddlers to Eat Healthy
The search continues to get my toddler daughter to eat right. You might remember my previous post where I expressed my frustration with getting her to eat.
This article might help….
Getting Toddlers to Eat Healthy
By Mila Sidman Alice Seba
It may seem a daunting task but getting your toddler to eat healthy isn’t actually the difficult task it seems. In fact, the toddler years is the perfect age to instil good eating habits in your toddler. As kids get older and they have outside influences such as school, going to friend’s houses and the every popular media aimed at kids it gets much more difficult to get your kids to eat healthy.
So that’s the great news, now how do you get your toddler to eat healthy, nutritious foods?

Toddler Temper Tantrums Have Begun
It seems like baby girl cries for everything nowadays! Just this past weekend, she had gotten really bad!
Anything we say no to, or remove from her, she will throw a fit and will throw herself on the floor. I know this is normal tantrum behavior for a toddler and have been told by her Dr. to ignore the tantrum and not give in. But, like I said, it seemed to have gotten really bad in the past few days.
She has now started to hit her head on the wall, table, etc. during the tantrums. A few times, she’s also bit herself.
Needless to say, this behavior is really disturbing to the husband and I and we felt like we didn’t know what to do.
I spent most of Sunday crying and feeling really frustrated.
But, there is hope!
After doing some research on the internet, I decided to try a twist on the ignoring approach.
I found this great site with information on tantrums and what you can do. I tried his approach of “active ignoring” and it has worked twice already! The tantrums have not lasted as long and she calmed down on her own.
Hopefully if we continue to be consistent with this approach, the frequency of the tantrums will lessen as well.
If you have any tantrum experience or suggestions, feel free to share in the comments.

If you’re looking for Aaliyah…
You can find the only post where I have mentioned Aaliyah here.
It’s pretty interesting to see the search terms that land people on this blog.
It seems there are quite a few people interested in Aaliyah as this search term lands them on my blog daily.
Some of the other popular search terms are:
- mami - completely makes sense, but interestingly this search came from Canada
- cartoons, motherhood - yeah, I’ve talked about a few cartoons
- puerto rican working moms - That’s me!
- freaking mom - I’ll let you decide
I gotta say, I’m looking forward to seeing what else lands people on here.

First Haircut Hints, Tips, and Advice
Baby girl has never had a haircut. Her hair isn’t very long, but I’m thinking of trimming the top of her hair to see if it will help to train the hair and possibly help it grow out some more.
I’m kinda tired of the mohawk look she’s had for a while!
Now, being that she’s a toddler, a very squirmy toddler, I’m a little scared she’ll get hurt. Plus, there’s no guarantee she’ll sit still for the length of the haircut.
So, I’m looking for any tips, hints, advice, ideas, etc., you might have on the whole first haircut experience.
If you’ve had a good experience, let me know.
If you’ve had a bad experience, also let me know.
Any suggestions will be of help.
Updated 5/10: I made an appointment for baby girl to get her haircut on Saturday. Wish me luck!
