A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

Parenting is a rollercoaster of emotions! One minute your little one is giggling during a playdate, the next they might be throwing a full-blown tantrum. Then you have the early years that are filled with milestones like teething, which can cause discomfort and crankiness. Not just for the baby either, for both parent and baby! However, navigating these challenges is part of the journey. By establishing clear expectations and using positive discipline techniques, you can help your child learn and grow. Remember, creating a wholesome environment filled with love, play, and support is key to fostering a strong parent-child bond. So, take a deep breath, embrace the mess, and enjoy this special time in your life!
