Hello, Hive lovers! Sending you lots of love. 🌷💗 ‎ ‎When our kids make a mess, how do you handle them? Are you a mom who wants to keep things neat? ‎ ‎Being a mom, I'm sure you value independence and self-reliance. ‎ ‎And to do that, one thing we want our child to learn is to do things on their own, even if it means a little mess along the way. ‎ ‎Like what I decided to do for my son, Ryzen. ‎ ‎Yesterday, I let him eat alone, without my assistance. ‎ ‎I encouraged him to feed himself, even if it might be a messy process. ‎ ‎I gave him a Yum Yum choco snack. ‎ ‎Oh, before giving it to him, of course, I washed his hands to make sure they were clean before it would be covered in chocolate. ‎ ‎While he enjoyed the sweet snack, the chocolate dip spread everywhere.

It's in his tiny hands, around his mouth, on his cheeks, on the floor, and even on his clothes. ‎ ‎It was a total mess, yet adorable! ‎ ‎But rather than feeling upset, I couldn't help but laugh because he looked so funny and cute, almost like he had a little instant chocolate mustache. 😂 ‎ ‎I also see this as a step in his growth, a part of his learning, and having fun. ‎ ‎After all, when I saw that he was done, I cleaned him up. ‎ ‎These little messy moments will teach him a valuable lesson of being independent and responsible. ‎ ‎By allowing him to enjoy his snack and clean up himself, he will learn that making a mess is okay, as long as he tries to tidy up afterward. ‎ ‎Over time, he will become more organized and capable of handling small tasks on his own. ‎ ‎Until our next messy moment... ‎ ‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
