Here are some helpful tips that one woman offers on raising young children that are close in age. One thing to give your family some free time without the children is to get them set on routine naps. Anytime you buy a toy or something that the children will use a lot, just buy two. Be sure that the children do have a few toys and items that are unique and special to them. Let them settle some disagreements alone, as long as no one is getting hurt.

Key Takeaways:

• Families with children can thrive with consistent routines especially around nap time.
• It is ok for children to fight to some degree. Give them space to workout and through their disagreements.
• Just like camps often do, dress children alike when going out. They are easier to spot and easier to look for one clothing color rather than 2.

“Don’t forget that your older child is still quite young. Don’t expect them to act older than their age.”
