Parents of toddlers face many challenges. Young children are curious, active, and imaginative, but they can also be exasperating at the same time. While watching your child learn and grow is an amazing experience, dealing with a toddler can leave parents frustrated, especially if they don’t know the best methods of teaching toddlers.
If your toddler is a handful, you need to learn positive ways to deal with their energy and needs without being run over by your toddler. If you are having trouble with your young child you are not alone and these six tips can help.
Set a good example for your toddler. Young children imitate what they see and the actions you do will directly affect the way you act. If young children see their parents yell, scream, and act inappropriately they are much more likely to do so as well.
Toddlers need a routine. Many of the daily meal time, nap time, and bed time battles can be avoided if you have a routine associated with the activity. Toddlers have an easier time following rules when they know exactly what to expect.
Temper tantrums are the worst nightmare of parents of toddlers. It is very common but toddlers don’t throw temper tantrums just to make you mad. Toddlers are just beginning to get a grip on verbal skills and do not always have the words to express what they are feeling. Next time your toddler has a tantrum try understanding and acknowledging their feelings.
Another notorious toddler issue is being a picky eater. There is no simple solution that works for every picky eater, but it is important to offer a variety of new foods on a regular basis. It may take ten, twenty, or more time of trying a new food before your child will eat it so keep trying.
Many parents expect their toddlers to share, cooperate, and get along with other kids. Toddlers are learning a tremendous amount and social skills are usually one of the later things to develop after physical, verbal, and emotional skills. Children should be discourage from hitting and hurting others and re directed, but don’t expect them to have a firm grasp on playing nicely, sharing, and taking turns. Pre-schoolers are better able to socially interact so don’t set your expectations of your toddler’s social skills too high.
Everyone needs their own space and time to relax and unwind. Your toddler needs time to relax just like you so make sure you plan quiet activities for them.
Toddlers can be challenging, but the rewards of watching your wobbly toddler grow into a confident child are well worth it. With plenty of love and guidance your toddler will become a well adjusted pre-schooler.

Avast, matey, are ya ready for adventure? Does ya want some fine treasure? Sure, ya even would like to break a few rules now and again, no? Yah, that’s the pirates story. There’s no better way to tell that story and generate some birthday excitement than with a whole slew of Pirates birthday partyware.
Make sure everyone is dressed for the party with some terrific Pirates costumes. Stock up on Pirate Hats, Hooks, Eye Patches, and a Glow Sword for every guest. For the girls there are also Pirate Maiden costumes. Once adorned, they can have the boys shouting “Walk the plank!” while they wield a Glow Sword from behind.
Start off the celebration with a fun game that gets everyone involved. The Pirate Bomb Blast is just the ticket. Hold the cannonball and watch the illuminated fuse to see how close you are to the explosion. Be ready! The kids will explode with laughter when the boom sound goes off. It’s only 4 inches in diameter and super lightweight, so don’t worry. No one will get hurt playing this game.
The minute the danger has passed everyone will be ready for a treasure hunt. So, be sure you’ve got plenty for everyone. Get some bags of golden coins, and plant them in a treasure chest. Or, hide them in the back yard or behind the couch.
Even a pirate has to keep track of his treasure, though. If everyone doesn’t get an equal share you could have a mutiny on your hands. Let them all make notes, draw a map, or add up their own booty with a set of Skull Pencils with plastic Hook Toppers.
Hide some of the coins along with lots of other toys and candy inside the Pirates pinata treasure chest. It’s a full 12″ high, so it holds piles of those pretty lovelies that makes even the meanest pirate soul go “aahhh…” Pull the string and watch the treasure spill out amid shouts of glee.
While you prepare the cake, let your little pirates enjoy the fun filled activity books. Adorned with Pirate Hat and Eye Patch you return and start the singing of the traditional Happy Birthday song.
The cake is decorated with all the Pirate symbols you would expect. Skull and Crossbow, Flags and a Pirate Cake Topper rests on the top. Serve some juice out of a Skull Cup, decorated with Eye Patch and Hat. It’s the perfect item for serving all your bloodthirsty little pirates!
When the party is over, send the tired pirates home with a favor bag filled with mementos and fond memories of a fun Pirates birthday celebration!

Elvis and Priscilla were married May 1, 1967, nearly eight years after their courtship began. The wedding was private, and it was held at the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Priscilla wore a beaded white gown and a veil. The veil was attached to her hair, which was styled in the popular “bee-hive” style. The veil was three feet long. Her hair was dyed black. On top of her hair sat a rhinestone crown. Elvis wore a black dinner suit that fit him quite well. Elvis had two best men, Marty Lacker and Joe Esposito. Priscilla’s maid of honor was her sister Michelle. Elvis was thirty-two years old and Priscilla was twenty-one years old.
The ceremony was in the morning and lasted around eight. minutes. At the ceremony there was a small amount of guests. The ceremony was followed by a press conference. At the conclusion of the press conference, a breakfast reception was held. There were 100 guests in attendance for the reception. The cake was six-tiered. Their first dance as husband and wife was to the song “Love Me Tender.”
After the wedding, the two left to honeymoon in Palm Springs, California to vacation for a few days. They stayed at 1350 Ladera Circle in a grand home. The location is now available for tours. You can even use it for your own honeymoon or wedding. Upon their arrival Elvis showed his romantic side by picking up Priscilla and carrying her over the threshold. While doing so, he sang “The Hawaiian Wedding Song.”
The home that Elvis honeymooned at was leased by him for a year. Elvis’ manager Tom Parker lived in the area and made the suggestion for Elvis to honeymoon here, because he thought it would be the perfect place for him to relax and enjoy the company of friends.
Famous Hollywood gossip columnist Rona Barrett lived nearby and became suspicious of a wedding when many family members arrived in Palm Springs on April 29, 1967. Rona made contact with the house maid and she was able to get confirmation that the two were set to be married May 1, 1967. She made an announcement on her nightly television show that the two were prepared to be married.
The two planned on having their wedding at the estate in Palm Springs. However, the media onslaught forced them to change their plans. The morning of the wedding, the two had to sneak out the back door of their estate and meet up with a limo on Rose Avenue. Upon arrival to Rose Avenue, there were limousines prepared to drive them and the wedding party to the airport.
Frank Sinatra loaned Elvis his private jet “Christina.” By 4:00 a.m. the two had arrived and already obtained their marriage license. The actual wedding took place at 9:40 a.m. at the Alladin hotel in the owner’s suite. On the same day, the couple left for their honeymoon, back in Palm Springs, California. Another point of interest is the fact that Lisa Marie, the first daughter of Elvis and Priscilla was born exactly nine months after the date of the honeymoon.
