Hello Friends

If you bring infants or toddlers on a shopping trip, limit the excursion to one or two hours. Also, make sure your child is rested and fed before you head out.
* Remove your child's coat or sweater once you are indoors; overheated children can get awfully cranky.
* Shop with another adult, so you can take turns browsing and minding the children.
* Keep children close by at all times, and do not let them wander around unsupervised.
* Point out security guards, so your child knows where to go for help if he gets lost.
* When you have to wait in line, give your child a book, toy or snack to keep him occupied.
* Avoid stores with narrow aisles and shelves teetering with fragile items. Be clear and firm about what your child can and cannot touch.

1. If you're planning to shop with your children, plan it ahead. Determine beforehand where you'll be going and what you'll be looking for. Inform your children the kind of shopping trip they can expect. But if your kid is not especially comfortable in supermarkets and tends to get cranky every three minutes, then it's best to go shopping alone.
2. Shopping with your kids can be totally stressing. Before you go ahead with that shopping trip, be sure that you aren't stressed out yourself, have eaten something and have the patience needed to survive the trip. Shopping with the kids is also easier if the children are well-rested and have been fed.
3. Shopping with children also mean that you have to be attentive to their needs. They might get hungry or thirsty so be sure to have a snack or drink on hand. Children may also be intimidated by the supermarket crowd and be overwhelmed by the surroundings, most especially when activity in the stores are hectic. Give them a reassuring hug once in a while.
4. Since children are innately curious beings, they might want to reach out for every colorful item that takes their fancy and play with it. Instead of scolding them, teach them how to hold it safely or inform them gently that they can only look at it and not touch it. While the item may not necessarily be part of your shopping list, it's helpful to share in the child's interest in it and explain what it is, what it is for and why it can’t go into the cart
5. If you're shopping with pre-school children, get them involved in counting and choosing items. This will be a learning experience for them and would also keep their attention away from other unnecessary activities like reaching out for items you don't have a need for.

Have a nice day......

1. Remember that children have limits:If you are shopping with children, be alert to their needs: are they tired, hungry, overexcited by the noise and confusion, or simply in need of fresh air and exercise, or a reassuring hug?
2. Remember that children are naturally curious:Children are naturally curious; this is how they learn about the world around them. If they want to examine an attractive item, please don't scold them. Instead, help them to hold the item safely, or let them know that it can be viewed but not touched. You might say "This is breakable, so let's just look at it together." Even if an item cannot be purchased, it can be helpful to share the child's enthusiasm and interest in it.
3. Shopping with infants:Shopping with an infant will be far easier if the trip is made after they are rested and have been fed. Babies and small children can become dehydrated in the dry air of shopping malls, so be sure to take frequent nursing or juice breaks.
4. Shopping with toddlers:Toddlers can begin to be included in shopping decisions. Involving the child with questions such as "which of these peaches looks better to you?" can turn a boring, frustrating experience into a more pleasurable one, for both parent and child.

Have a nice day

That's a great Information Which You have shared
here With us,I Found it really useful for myself

Keep sharing

Hi guys

* Have your children's feet measured when buying shoes, since what might seem comfortable to them for a minute or two in the store is very different from what will be comfortable after a day of playing. Feet should be measured while standing, and always have both feet measured. Since one foot is usually larger than the other, buy shoes to accommodate the larger of the two feet.

* When your child is wearing the shoes, and their feet are fully extended (watch for toe crunching!), there should be a bit of room between the edge of the shoe toe and the edge of your child's toes - about a half inch.

* With the rate children outgrow shoes, it's probably tempting to buy shoes that are too big, but you should never buy shoes that are more than one size too large for your child. Shoes that are too big can cause a child to trip and develop foot problems while trying to walk in shoes that are too large.

* Obviously a shoe that has too tight of a heel will cause discomfort, but having shoes that are too loose is also very problematic. The heel of the shoes should rest snugly but not tightly around your the back of the child's heel.

* As adults, we often say we're "breaking in" a pair of shoes - this is really a bad idea for anyone, but particularly for kids. Shoes need to be immediately comfortable - don't allow for a breaking in period or expect shoes to get more comfortable over time - they need to fit and feel good now.

Thanks

3. Shopping with infants...

Shopping with an infant will be far easier if the trip is made after they are rested and have been fed. Babies and small children can become dehydrated in the dry air of shopping malls, so be sure to take frequent nursing or juice breaks.

Babies are almost always happier when carried. A sling or carrier worn by the parent provides far more comfort and emotional security than a stroller or grocery cart. A small child-proof toy can help a baby to cope with the inevitably lessened attention from the parent, but remember to stop as often as possible and take a moment for gentle words, eye contact, and hugs.

hi
Carry child to shopping is a hard task for me.But after read these,I think it's not so hard for me.

Hello
Anyone who has shopped at a grocery store or a mall with children, especially young children, knows the experience can sometimes be trying and highly stressful. Here are some steps that can change potential misery into potential mastery of shopping with kids.
Plan Ahead...
Explain the rules

Before entering the store make your expectations clear, such as "Stay close to me," "Use your quiet voice," and "No begging for candy."

Select a secret word or signal that you can both use to get the immediate attention of the other.

Role play at home in how to act at the store.
Agree on rewards for good behavior

Keep it simple such as a choice of a favorite snack or a stop at the park. Promise to read a story or play a game at home. "When we leave, you can select a package of gum if you remember the rules."
Pack a treat

Bring a nutritious snack for the child to eat during the shopping trip (raisins, cut up apples, nuts, etc.).

Bring a storybook for the child to look at. Keep a supply of little action figures or small manipulative toys handy.

Bring a favorite blanket, toy or book from home to help make the child feel secure. For a small child, tie a favorite soft toy to the handle of the shopping cart or stroller.

Bring a pad and pencil or magic markers for the child to use while you are shopping.
Check emotions

Is your child too tired or hungry to shop? Are you? If yes, postpone your trip or find a sitter for your child(ren).

Go when you are rested, as well as when the child is rested. Don't wait until the end of a tiring day.
