Toddlers are little bundles of energy with big emotions. One strategy that helps me manage my child's behaviour is setting up structured activities that are engaging and educational at the same time. Setting up a simple scavenger hunt around the house helps distract from tantrum-inducing situations and teaches observational skills too. You could also have some easy art materials accessible for your little ones to encourage creative expression, which might help alleviate those big feelings in a positive way.

Scavenger hunts are a clever way to tire them out while improving their observation and problem-solving skills - a tiring but educational activity! Toddler life is so fascinating as they have so much energy and curiosity. What other activities do you find effective in managing your toddler's exuberant energy?

Nature walks and park adventures help to channel my toddler's endless supply of energy into something fun and educational. There's so much to explore and learn outdoors, which keeps his curiosity satisfied. Plus, the wide open spaces allow him to run and roam freely, exhausting him for an early bedtime! Exploring new places and taking public transport also helps - it's amazing how tiring a simple change in scenery and some time on the train or bus can be for little ones.

What other inventive ways do you guys use to manage your tot's energetic personalities?

My son loves being outdoors too, especially if there's water involved! A visit to the beach, a creek, or even just playing with the watering can and hose in the backyard exhausts him like nothing else. He also seems to have an endless fascination with other people's dogs - we've made some doggie friends in the neighbourhood, who he gets so excited to see on our walks.

I agree that a change of scenery really helps; recently we took him to an indoor playground which was great because it was such a novel experience for him and it wore him right out! I find taking him on little errands with me also tires him out - popping into shops, getting takeaway coffee etc. He feels very important being my little helper and running around keeping him occupied keeps him from napping too!

A change of scene is a great idea - especially one that provides lots of visual stimulation - it's exhausting for them ! Love the thought of him helping you run errands and getting a coffee! It's those simple, unexpected interactions that can make their day. My girl loves the surprise element too - like when she spots the ice cream truck in the distance and we run to catch it. She gets such a kick out of the unpredictability of it all.

Some kids love the simplicity of a lazy day spent reading together, stacked up on a comfortable couch with a pile of picture books.

For a special treat, I'd recommend closing a curtains-drawn room, turning on some fairy lights, and snuggling up with a stack of books about mothers and daughters in fantasy lands. Something like Elle Smith's *A Magic Within*, which tells the tale of a young witch and her mother on an adventure, is sure to thrill and inspire!
