I'd love a video on how to set up toddler stations for beginners!!! My daughter just turned 1 on Nov 1st so this video was really helpful since we are transitioning into toddlerhood 🥰

The snacks, toddler stations, and love that table where you hide the toys. I do hide my darlings toys too 😅, a hack I learned from my mom. But I really want that clean straight table with the space inside. Other take away is to spend time outdoors. We do but yes definitely need to go out much more! Screen time may be controversial but for us is almost a complete “no” . Too much research into the bad effects of it. I find he’s not even interested in it as much. But yes, I do understand that now that he’s almost 1 1/2 years old. We may need some distractions, so a toddlers tablet is something I am thinking of buying. Singing is so awesome for almost anything so that’s my hack for those very dirty diaper moments. Last but definitely not least, I so understand how much time u put into thinking about every small thing & yes it’s sometimes overwhelming but I also love it. This time will also fly & I will miss it then. ove, love, love ur ideas!!
Love from Pakistan ❤

Love your perspective on toddler life Nikole. It's so great that you're able to take a step back from the intensity of it all and really see what's going on and how you can be instrumental in how smoothly things go. ✨

I was totally not prepared for how challenging the toddler stage was going to be🙈 My 2 year old daughter loves her learning tower too & I like how it gives her the independence she craves in a safe way. Thank you soo much for all these toddler tips!!

Most important tip is not overreacting and being an example to them. It is hard but I want my children to be treated with patience and kindness. It really does effect a child's self esteem when a parent blows up at them.

[lisawiley]

One of your best, as a "mom" content. Seriously, thank you! It's given me so much to implement.

[Lifewithgenie]

Could you make a video about those toddler-friendly stations around your house? with all the details!

Hi Nikole I'm from Brazil and I live here, I love your videos and the way you explain things. Congratulations for your work and videos help me a lot with a lot of things! Thank you very much.

I have nothing against screen time as well! I will say as a waitress it is a little offputting when there are kids sitting at the table watching individual screens instead of having a family meal. I noticed with my siblings, It was a habit they started as toddlers. Now with my own toddler, we decided not to use screens in restaurants and the first year of restaurant outings was very stressful but now as a 2 year old he will sit and eat, color, and play with toys, I’m so glad! You’re a great mom! I loved the video (:

[feyzaopanoglu]

Amazing video, thank you very much ❤️

I was impressed by that hidden toy box and shelf combo, and I don’t even have kids! Haha! Lots of great tips though! I love seeing you and Matt become such great parents!
