I do not have any advice to give you. I just want you to know that raising children no matter what age is the hardest job in the world! I would say, answer questions when they ask and answer them with heart felt honesty, encourage them to seek out real education and please never try to keep your children small, stupid and without imagination. Encourage the indepence, write stories together, bake a cake, read a book together or have a play in your back yard, pop popcorn and have a diet coke and just sit back and listen to your kids tell you about their adventures of their days. Ask questions without blame or meaning fault. Respect their individuality and their "personal space" that is very important. Personal space is about 3 feet all the way around a person. When someone invades this privite space the feelings are very distrubing and just not right. This is a good way to teach the kids about safty. Also get some stuffed aminals and make up voices and names for the anminals have fun. Or you could just let the kids make dinner for you and dad. I know this is really tough, but hang in there. You can only eat so many peanutbutter and mac and cheese before you are sick. But remember what ever they do cook, eat it and love it. Maybe not the food it self, but the love that is mixed in there with all that stuff they make. Also they could just supprize you with their talents and cook a seven course meal. Go fishing and bate their hooks.
All this is not based on child psycology, but my parents and my brother, we had a blast being together and having pic necks and trying different things. Now that my dad and brother are not with us any more. I have the awesome memories of us laughing at our funny adventures, graduations and new beginings. Its true that I do miss them, but what an oppertunity to have an awesome child hood, because before you know it they are gone and you stand there by yourself or selves so proud of your greatest accomplishments...your creations are a perfect master peice of love, respect and yes laughter.

routine is very important for any child and especially for you. Children need routine no matter what. Quality time from you is also important (and your partner), try setting a time to spend with the older children, while baby is sleeping, with definate activities eg. playing with toys, colouring or reading a story etc. the children will look forward to it and will know that is their time with you and maybe when dad comes home he can spend time with them while you prepare their dinner. It is important that they go to bed early so that you can have some quality time with your partner in the evening. Kids like to help you at that age so make it fun picking up toys etc. together. Kids need to know where they stand so set boundaries and be firm - they must learn the rules of the house (what is acceptable behaviour etc). no matter how tired you get dont give in to them - sometimes you may feel like giving in just for peace and quiet but try not to fall into this trap as kids are quick to recognise this at an early age. As long as there is love, organisation and routine in the home your children will thrive and respect you and you will enjoy and cope with all the different stages they go through. Raising a family can be tough at times but the good times more than outway the bad times. Good luck and dont forget who is boss and your children will respect you for it in the long term and dont forget to talk to them not at them this will encourage good communication within the home as they grow older.

Give them all the affection and time they need. It's not about you right now, its about them. You will be exhausted, and feeling drawn out, but all that effort will be worth it in stable, well adjusted youngsters.
Psychology is going through a lot of changes. One of them is the discovery of emotional communication...the study known as affective science. We only recently discovered how crucial it is for parents to maintain close physical contact with their children in the early years. Putting them to bed when they cry is sometimes less good than sleeping with your children, and letting them decide when they need you close, or when they want their space. That's how strong, stable personalities grow that are able to love and share.
Here's the book I base this on. Hope you have time to read it!

Your community church may well be waiting to help. In long island we've some thing referred to as toddler wellness Plus the place infants from newborn to age 18 get loose dental and doctor checkups, and if there is an emergency they pay for all or most of the surgical treatment (contains braces). additionally, connect a single's golf equipment and ask around the thank you to save frugally. Healthtex have large outfits for infants that are very low fee. look into Head initiate as properly.

wow, that's a big question. I don't think you're going to find a definitive answer here.
and what is your measure of success?
i'm a mom of three as well, also close together. the smartest thing i ever did was accept the offers for help that came in from family and friends.
i'd strongly suggest you join a mother's group. the support of others means so much when you are home alone with tiny ones.
if you can, find a mom with really awesome older kids - and pick her brain for tips.
good luck.

The "established" child psychology is often sick and wrong. Think of Freud, for instance.
Every parent is different and every child is different. You must do what you feel is right for the combination of you and your children.
There are only two pieces of advice I would give to every parent: (1) love your kids no matter what, and (2) give them a solid Christian foundation to build their lives on.

Surround yourself and your children with people who were raised in ways you feel were positive. Create a circle of support around you, with family or with others who can become like family for you.
Try to show your children, by your example, the rules in your home, in your community and in our world. Take care of yourself- including getting breaks while children are with trusted adults. In order to to be the best Mom possible, you need to take care of your own needs, so you will have energy for patience when the children act like children. Best wishes!

Well you don't really need child psychology for this. Its really what you want or what you lacked when you were a child and want to give it to them.
-Talk to them alot- their language will develop alot and understanding will develop quicker.
- Give them alot of love- at that age, children need love and need to know that they are loved. But do make sure you teach them the differences between whats right and wrong and set boundaries. Also if they accomplish something, congratulate them by hugging them or kissing them, or even giving them a small achievement reward. This will build their confidence and self-esteem to strive to do 'more' rewarding things.
- spend time with them- you could play games with them or even read to them. If you would like them to be academics, you could start training them as this time is good for children to learn and they learn quicker now. You could start by numbers or colours, or even the alphabet and slowly gradually proceed into more challenging tasks like writing their name and so on. Make sure there is a balance between the time you and your partner spend with them.
and so on...... these are only little things to start with your toddlers, your neonate will have to wait...
Good Luck!!

You need to stop spitting out kids long enough to give them some attention. What are you, a Jakovasaur?
