At 2 years old, N’s not doing too badly at being polite and learning good behaviour. He says please (mostly), thank you (lots) and pardon me (very occasionally). But he’s got a new phrase…”muse me”. It’s meant to be excuse…
The things that toddlers come out with: Toddlerisms number 10 and thoughts on bossiness
How confused are children about food and where it comes from? It seems seriously confused. I was discussing food sourcing the other week with two of my nephews (age 9 and 11) about children in their classes not knowing where…
