]]>If you can’t be home with the kids and your friend or colleague will be, consider leaving the child with them. If you both have kids, you can switch and return the favor on your day off. During holidays, community agencies and other bodies often offer day care services. If your child has no problem with this arrangement, you can try it out too.
During this period, college students may be home from school. They will be happy to earn some cash before resumption. You can hire them to stay with the kids while you’re at work.
You can form a group of parents and rotate childcare during this time. One pair of parents can stay with the kids while the others attend to work. But if you have a relative or friend who is available to help on such occasions, then you can let them help. This is often the best option because it is the most affordable and also the safest for the children.

]]>Toddlers need up to 5 cups of fluid daily. This doesn’t apply to only water. They can sip on healthy beverages like fruit juice and milk. Foods with high moisture content also count. Soups and fruits such as watermelon can do the trick as well.
When your child’s lips are dry and rough, it will encourage licking, and this leads to wetting and chapping. You can always remind your child to abstain from licking. Remove the temptation to lick by using a neat, soft-bristled toothbrush on the lips to buff them smooth.
If the air in your home is dry, install humidifiers. Place them where the child sleeps and plays. Be sure to read the instructions on how to clean the humidifier. Don’t forget to place it beyond the reach of kids.
Lips are prone to UV rays damage so keep the child’s mouth moist. Opt for a beeswax or petroleum lip balm with sunscreen. Apply the balm from time to time, so it doesn’t dry out and lead to chapping.
