The Power of Choice: A Simple Parenting Hack + March Highlights
March Highlights
After much debate over whether to take advantage of our last opportunity of traveling outside school holidays before my daughter starts school in September, we’ve finally booked a trip to IKOS Andalusia in June! We’re beyond excited - this will be our first time visiting Spain as a family, and we can’t wait for the adventure with our two little rascals (and the hubby, of course). I won’t be forgetting to pack my Trek Tots Play Mat to create a stress-free play area while we’re away - it’s a game-changer for travel! If you’ve been to IKOS Andalusia, let me know any must-dos! If not I would love to hear what your go-to family holiday destinations are? We’d love your recommendations!
Speaking of special occasions, March also brought our Mother’s Day Giveaway, where we celebrated all the incredible mums out there! We teamed up with some amazing small businesses to create a dreamy bundle of parenting essentials. A huge thank you to everyone who entered and supported the giveaway - it was such a joy to spread a little love to hardworking mums. If you missed out, don’t worry… we’ve got more exciting things in the pipeline!
TT's Parenting Hack for March: The Power of Choices
This month, instead of battling over what’s on your little one’s plate, why not try The Power of Choice - our parenting hack of the month! I use this trick all the time to give my little ones a say in decisions while keeping things stress-free. The key? Offer options you’re happy with either way, so they feel in control while you stay in charge. Giving kids a sense of autonomy helps reduce power struggles and makes them more likely to cooperate.
And it’s not just for mealtime! Whether it’s picking between two outfits or choosing which book to read at bedtime, small choices can make a big difference in fostering independence. Have you tried this approach? Drop your go-to parenting hacks below - I love learning from fellow parents!
Trek Tots Toast: Saintly Sleep Coaching
As a fellow small business owner, I love celebrating and supporting others who are working hard behind the scenes. This month, I want to toast to a friend, fellow mum, and business owner - Vic, the founder of Saintly Sleep Coaching.
Vic helps parents at one of the hardest times when they’re sleep-deprived and desperately searching for solutions to help their little ones (and themselves!) get some much-needed rest.
We’ve all heard the phrase "sleeping like a baby," but let’s be honest - babies sleep in all sorts of ways! Some settle easily, while others need a little extra help learning how to sleep. Some babies nap like clockwork, while others will only snooze in your arms or on the move. And you know what? That’s completely normal.
If you're feeling exhausted and looking for support, you're not alone! There are incredible resources and expert sleep consultants - like Vic, who can help guide you and your baby toward better sleep.
