Team Bolzico shares their best parenting resource

A universal guidebook on parenting does not exist, but the collective advice from parents and medical experts is the next best thing. For first-time mom and dad Solenn and Nico Bolzico, it’s exactly what they needed when little Thylane Katana came into their life. It takes great teamwork to raise a child, which is why the #SosBolz couple has chosen the Wyeth Nutrition parenTeam as their partner for their first parenthood journey.

The Wyeth Nutrition parenTeam website is a  treasure trove of valuable information for parents of all ages and experience, carrying a wide range of topics about marriage, pregnancy, child-rearing, and of course, parenthood. For the Bolzicos, one of the things they needed to learn was adjusting to how Tili transformed the family dynamics.

Parenting takes a lot of work, regardless if the child is a newborn or a teenager. With proper guidance, moms and dads can find the most effective parenting style that suits their family’s needs. As Wyeth Nutrition parenTeam RealTalks ambassadors, Solenn and Nico now take advice from the Wyeth Nutrition parenTeam community to ensure they can raise their daughter well.

ParenTip 1: Divide the childcare and household responsibilities.

It’s not easy to take care of children and run a household at the same time, but it can be managed with a fair delegation of responsibilities between parents. Every family situation is different, so couples need to have an honest and open conversation on how to share tasks.

ParenTip 2: Don’t spank or yell.

Most child-rearing experts agree that spanking or yelling are not the best way to discipline kids. Parenting requires patience and the need to be able to explain to your child what they did wrong. It may be hard at times but pausing even just for a moment or breathing slowly are good ways to practice.

ParenTip 3: Avoid giving food as rewards.

Offering sweets as rewards for good behavior may create unhealthy eating habits in children.

ParenTip 4: Set regular sleep schedules.

Sleep is important for children’s learning, cognitive, and memory development, as well as their physical and mental health. Likewise, parents must also strive to get adequate amount of sleep daily so they can continue parenting at their best.

ParenTip 5: Encourage playtime.

Play is important to a child’s overall development. Parents must encourage play where children can use their imagination and be physically active. Experts also suggest parents to make reading and singing as part of a child’s learning activities.

Being part of a community of parents who can share their own experiences is a great place to start exploring and learning.
