We likely have a few challenges this year - potty training, toddler bed (at least taking cot sides off), real tantrums- and I'm going to try to approach things more stoically.</p> <p>I'm also going to try to reframe parenting negatives as positives. So my child isn't "a terrible eater" she's just "determined" (not to eat). Its going to be tough!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-goals-for-2015#post-2000570 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 01:07:02 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2000570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.

We're already actively working with him to help him catch up on his milestones, so I don't think there's much more we can do. </p> <p>Right now my main focus is finding out why he has passed out twice, if there is a reason at all. Fluke or not, it's going to be a tough process I'm sure. We go to his doctor on Jan 5 for what we had hoped was just a follow up for his weight issues (which are resolving wonderfully!!), but now we have to bring up his passing out episodes and I'm just so scared to dive into this. I took him to the doctor for what I thought was a simple virus once and ended up with a 3 day stay at a children's hospital for possible meningitis. I guess we're just a little traumatized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-goals-for-2015#post-2000335 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:53:41 +0000 catlady 2000335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weaning will be a major one.</p> <p>Take more time for myself to work out or see friends (DH needs to do this too). </p> <p>Take LO out on more fun excursions on weekends so we're not all cooped up all the time.</p> <p>Watch my words in front of her now that she is really starting to understand what we say.

For my younger it is potty training ASAP and then find him a class he actually likes. For my older one it is being better about setting up play dates, finding a music class and working on a little more preschool prep. For both of them it is being more diligent about taking time for myself so I can be my best with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-parenting-goals-for-2015#post-2000263 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:11:25 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2000263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Making it to June (12 mo) pumping at work<br /> -Getting into a good routine in the mornings with work and daycare<br /> -Enjoying the moments as they happen and focusing less on what's happening next<br /> -Getting everyone more sleep!! </p>
