Screen time - how much is too much?

My boys are 2 & 3, they have a couple of hours first thing in the morning so allow me to get done what I need to. Then whilst my youngest naps my eldest has another hour or so. I feel guilty for it, but it’s mentally exhausting to be on the go with them all day long with no chill time 😥

Activites

Looking for activity ideas for 18 month old. We rarely use screen time and if we do it's a film or something for 20 mins. But I'm finding it hard thinking of things to do, I feel I want to do eveything to support development but get too caught up in the pressure to do lots of activities and I can't think of any. We...

With the weather finally picking up I want to get my LO out more, very keen for this to be as independent as possible (safely). What are you dressing them in, and are you letting them explore freely?

TIcking timer.

This little timer has saved my life with children that don't manage time well. Seeing a limit and a task gets them going, for example if I say "I need your shower done and school clothes out in 30 minutes" then I set the timer they get excited to beat the timer. It's motivating, and they're slowly learning what 5 mi...

Garden toy ideas

Anyone got any suggestions for what I can get for the garden so we can play outside more in the summer? So far we have a small sand box that he isn’t too interested. We get sun all day in our garden so want to make the most of it, but it is only a small garden.
