When you are a first-time father you have a serious and big problem, and it is none other than being "first-time father". What did you expect? In most cases, your experience with children is based on the series of father-themed films that you and your partner have seen during these nine months, the two dozen maternity books, pasquines, clippings, forums and parent blogs that swarm through the memory and among the favorites of your laptop, to which we add the endless advice of your respective mothers, fathers, grandmothers, uncles and other family who have been fathers before you.
I'm going to confess one thing: While everything goes well and the advice you have received, read or seen work with your baby you will find yourself in the paradise of motherhood. The problem is that 95% of these tips, theories and corollaries are not going to work with your child, at least that is going to be what you are going to believe and it will be then when problems, doubts, fears and "I arrive" I thought this was easier. " Then the laughs and sarcasms of your environment will come, but I prefer that you see it for yourself. We bring you a series of ten awesome parent tricks and for parents who will surely help you, or else they will keep you entertained for a while.
The juice brick trick
I think the first juice brick that my children didn't throw over would make the number ninety or one hundred. I no longer know how many times we repeated the same thing and in the end or ended up watering them or any of those present. In the end, if they did not see me (because as they saw me we already had it tied up), what I was doing was emptying some juice to release pressure. But I have to admit that the lapel trick that appears in the video never occurred to me.
The Anti-monsters Spray
Simple and simple, to combat those first nightmares and those fears of the dark that better than a small spray bottle that we can simply fill with water with which we can spray all the monsters that have the bad idea of going through the room. Of course, make sure that the boat is small or that there is not too much liquid but you want to end up with a monster hunter boy but full of boogers and coughs.
The laundry basket as a small water park
As my children always took, and they take half of the toys in the bathtub to the bathtub, there was no problem that a toy came out of reach, the problem of finding the sponge, and even the child, was greater , in the meantime toy.
The Tooth Fairy or Little Mouse Perez
This trick, the truth is that here it is not very easy to make us say, but what we can do is draw a small bill as if it had been printed by the mouse itself, or put a mouse print on a bill ( the problem is finding a rodent that lends itself to it).
Door and corner protectors
We did this trick at my mother-in-law's house and the truth is that it saved us from the occasional disgust. Use the famous pool churros to "hug" the doors of the house and avoid getting your fingers caught or cover the edges of the low tables of the house.
Improvise a hammock with an old sheet
Well, with this I have to say that I don't know the level of security we can have, just in case I wouldn't take your eyes off. But it can be a good idea when we go to friends who have no place for the child to sleep.
Chocolate or colored sugar noodles
I do not think it is necessary to tell you the nightmare that can result from having a poorly eaten child or those phases in which our son decides that he does not eat the dish. Well, from time to time we can take out the pot of noodles for cakes and sprinkle some magic over the plate.
Handwriting: the beginnings
This trick did not know him and I intend to try it with the little one to see how much it helps him with the pencil posture. In theory I think it can work. Hold a napkin between the little fingers and ring I think you can prepare them for a future painting artist.
Games with housework
Take advantage of this trick because it has an expiration date and I doubt it works with children over eight or nine years old. The play of sweeping or cleaning the dishes may be received with shouts of joy from your son of two or three years, but probably his older brother will see some points discordant to the activity. However, sweeping all crumbs to a certain point can be fun while helping them with their motor skills.
And if all else fails ... take out the soap bubbles
I think that few things keep a child entertained as a pompero. Mind you, watch out for the dumps.
