Parenting

Being organized at home can be difficult for small children to grasp, especially for those children with learning difficulties. To be fair, being organized can be a challenge for grown-ups as well.

One of the most important and stressful elements of any new parents life is learning to read their child’s emotions. As their young boy or girl grows older, he/she will learn how to express themselves through a number of sounds, but also through their own unique facial expressions.

So here is how it was planned in my head. We would make key chains for Father’s Day. They would be in the shape of keys with little drawings on each and a card attached to read “you hold the key to my heart” (because in this house daddy definitely holds that key.) Sounds very sweet, right?

When my son was born, he got a classic porcelain piggy bank as a gift. It’s adorable and sentimental, but really not very practical for a baby, toddler or even preschooler.
