Raising a child at this age falls almost entirely on the shoulders of the mother, and this burden is very heavy. Young mothers are constantly exposed to stress, and they constantly do not have enough time: now to wash, then to cook, then to look after the child. Putting to bed is again a job for mom.
This is the most difficult period for women, they literally have to be torn to pieces in order to keep up with all the household chores and not leave the growing child unattended. But there is good news: this period ends sooner or later. Closer to the age of four, the child becomes more independent, can already do a lot on his own, and somewhere even helps his parents. And moms have some free time.
How not to go crazy, trying in vain to keep up with the restless child?
A mess
The child is constantly doing something, constantly moving - and creates chaos around him on a universal scale. It's okay, that's the way it should be. When the baby grows up a little, everything will return to normal and you will have a perfectly tidy house again. The kid will clean up his toys himself - even without your command. So ignore the little mess. For complacency, such chaos can be considered a small spicy detail of the crumbs' interior.
Games
Many young mothers believe that their child is ready to fiddle with various beautiful toys for days on end, the main thing is that there are a lot of them. This is not entirely true. More precisely, not at all. Until about four years old, the kid plays with what his parents play: a telephone, a TV remote control, a saucepan or a hammer. As soon as he sees something that adults "play" with, he will immediately want to play it himself. So hide especially valuable or fragile things where the curious child will not get. And if you have already reached, then put him to play next to you - or even solemnly hand over a ladle and a pot filled with water: let the child "cook" something with you.
Aspect of attention
Children are always interested in everything, so they constantly switch their attention from one subject to another. And, if, for example, you asked your child to put away toys and went to the kitchen to continue cooking dinner, then do not be surprised if the toys remain lying on the floor. Make sure that the child begins to clean, and then do other things. Understand that the baby did not start cleaning, not because he was lazy or he wants to annoy his mother, but because he simply switched to something else and forgot.
