A few quiet minutes can turn tragic. Always keep toddlers close near water.

A heartbreaking reminder for parents. Drowning can happen silently and within minutes, even at home. The recent inquiry into a toddler’s death shows how important constant supervision is.

Always keep your little one within arm’s reach near water.
Never assume safety, even for a short moment.
Secure pools and keep barriers locked.

Let us keep our children safe. Every second counts.

Is your toddler suddenly hungrier, sleepier and growing taller overnight?

Those unexpected bursts of appetite and extra-long naps could mean your little one is in the middle of a growth spurt.
While every child grows at their own pace, these spurts are a natural part of toddlerhood. Keep an eye on their diet, make sure they rest well and enjoy watching them grow each day.

Some days parenting feels impossible and that is perfectly okay.

Every parent has that “not today” moment when the noise, mess and mayhem just get too much. And that is alright. You do not have to be supermum or superdad every single day.

Take a breath, step back and remember that even on the hard days you are still doing your best 💛

At just 2 years old, Aryatara Shakya has been chosen as Nepal’s new Kumari, a living goddess revered by both Hindus and Buddhists.
