Reading attention span
Some children, especially very young ones, do not have the attention span required to sit through an entire story. If this is the case with your child, don’t push her.
Read as long as she will listen, and save the rest of the story for later.

Nursing vs drinking milk
The typical toddler will likely get 16-24 ounces of whole cow’s milk each day, although this isn’t necessary if your toddler is still nursing 2-3 times a day.

Managing asthma in toddlers
Asthma in toddlers may be more difficult to manage. The best way to do this is to enlist the help of your care provider or his teachers.
You can prepare some detailed instructions so they would know what to do in case of an asthma episode. Your toddler’s pediatrician can help you prepare this set of instructions.

Alergic reactions may not be immediate
Remember that your toddler can have a reaction to a food even if she’s eaten it before without any problem.
So if your child inherited the tendency to be allergic to eggs, she might not have a reaction the first few times she eats them — but eventually she’ll show symptoms.

Getting ready for back to school.
In preparation for back to school, move bedtime and wake time up by 15 minutes starting two to three weeks before the first day of the new routine.
Every few days, make them another 15 minutes earlier.
