Tip 49 – Make your child’s surroundings as comfortable as possible.

How comfortable is life for your child? There is only one way to find out. Shadow your child for five minutes, ten, or even 15. The amount of information you will gain will be invaluable.

Get down on your child’s level and see what you can see. Very likely you will gain keen insight into situations that commonly cause you trouble. From this vantage point, you will be better able to understand more of what goes on from your child’s point of view. That will help you a lot!

Parenting Insight…

Even babies love this kind of shadowing. When you get down on all fours and do what they do, they feel very important… and you will pick up a lot of safety information at the same time!
