I think a great topic for the upcoming fall/winter is indoor activities that are good for learning and stimulating that the same time. I look forward to hearing some great ideas.
I’d like to read about bicycling with a toddler — in a trailer, in a front seat, in a cargo bike, etc. What should we look for (and avoid) when buying equipment, especially used equipment. How long is too long to spend in a bike trailer?
I would like to know more about seasonal depression in children – does it exist, how to combat it and when to get your child more help.
I would like to see homework tips for kids with ADHD or high energy levels. Such a struggle in my house. Would love to not fight over it!
I’d like to read about herbal remedies for winter colds: types of teas toddlers and children can drink. Thank you for the blog posts. I read them all!
I’d love some tips on how to better manage a busy family! Between school/homework, sports, and just your everyday errands/appointments. Any suggestions for “take along goodies” for the kiddos, when we’re on the go?
How about information on when to keep your child at home and when to send them to school? I would also like to know how they can best avoid illnesses being spread around the classroom, besides hand washing. Any of those supplements work?
I would like to learn more about how many activities is it actually good for your children to be in. with 5 kids it is hard to find balance between school, and getting them into bed on time, plus doing activities between and having dinner together. We only let our children do one extra activity so as not to wear them out.
I love using my slow cooker but I can’t seem to find healthy slow cooker recipes. My 1 and a half year old son loves the family favorite, beef roast and pepperoncinis.
Great write-up. I’m a regular visitor of your blog and appreciate you taking the time to maintain the excellent site. I’ll be a regular visitor for a long time.
