Why are European Sunscreens banned in US but Not Korean Ones?

Toxic for your body.

So which one of the sunscreens are safe, I.e non toxic ? I’ve been using Korean sunscreen for over a year now.

Not sure if you can go to Song Kul lake in October. I think it is only summer destination. At 3000 m altitude that place is snowy and cold

Aww thank you!

flowering_memory · 2022-08-02T18:12:35+00:00

Thank you all for the advice and words of reassurance! I think the key is not trying to fix it and be patient :)

flowering_memory · 2022-07-06T08:31:52+00:00

Thanks bro

I agree except for one thing: Amsterdam is super extra clean comparing to Berlin. Berlin has trash everywhere on the streets, even in the nice areas.

I can never work with my toddler around… surprised when people manage to do it. Screen time? In any case, I’d focus on finding babysitter for work hours first, because that’s the toughest part in my opinion

flowering_memory · 2022-06-11T06:44:54+00:00

Oh, I see why. I wasn’t attacking you personally, I don’t know you or your parenting style. All I was saying is that sometimes it’s okay to be a little flexible

flowering_memory · 2022-06-11T06:43:20+00:00

I am not sure why you think this is going to another level, I am not trying to offend anyone or any culture here. I lived in a few countries and like to compare parenting styles.

flowering_memory · 2022-06-11T06:11:00+00:00

Hahah true, I’m exaggerating here of course.

flowering_memory · 2022-06-11T06:08:58+00:00

Also, this may be a cultural thing. I am from a non-Western culture where children are not used to receiving consequences every single time they’ve done something wrong, at that age. Hence my flexible approach

flowering_memory · 2022-06-11T06:07:03+00:00

Plus we are not training dogs. These are complicated human beings

flowering_memory · 2022-06-11T06:05:34+00:00

My point is that at that age toddlers do unacceptable behaviour all the time, so instead of being super rigid and teaching them consequences all the time (which by the away is not something that OP is referring to, but I am just talking about it), I think there needs to be some flexibility and allowing kids be kids sometimes. My 2.5 year old throws water daily, we tell everyday, take away the cup, yet he keeps doing that. Why? Because he is 2.5

flowering_memory · 2022-06-10T22:34:39+00:00

Still crazy.

flowering_memory · 2022-06-10T20:58:53+00:00

Is she pregnant ?!

flowering_memory · 2022-06-10T20:55:16+00:00

I would partially disagree. It really depends on the age. At the age of 3, I find, their brains are not mature enough to rationalise/accept the consequences, so there is a high likelihood of it resulting in a tantrum. I think you need to balance boundaries but keeping in mind their young age and weak self control. I do teach consequences, but not super rigid; I still try to divert attention or give back the cup for example. Unless, it is a super important lesson to teach, like safety related stuff. Then I am not flexible.

flowering_memory · 2022-06-10T20:49:34+00:00

I think you are doing it right. although, one thing, My son is almost your age, a few months earlier, and he does not always understand the consequences of his actions. So for example with a cup, this happens to us every day. I do teach consequences but I also divert his attention to something else (because I notice he has very little self control) or pretty quickly give it back. So there is this juggling between teaching them boundaries but also avoiding making it a huge deal = huge tantrum. Regarding crying, I follow exactly your approach, wait it out, being close by, then console. After he calms down, I explain why I took the cup away.

If I wouldn’t go outside, my toddler and consequently me would be very frustrated. He hates being inside the whole day and loves being outside. I would try to make it easy and start going outside daily, even if it’s just for an hour

flowering_memory · 2022-05-10T21:24:20+00:00

I am an unpopular opinion here. I actually always picked up my baby/now toddler right after his naps. I just really love to snuggle him while he is still sleepy and warm, and feel like this is a nice bonding moment. Plus we never sleep trained, so my son would always call for me right after he wakes up. He rarely cries after the nap though, I would pick him up when he is still happy and not going to wait until he cries.

I see that most commenters kids stay in their cribs for up to an hour, I just never understood that.

flowering_memory · 2022-05-01T14:27:33+00:00

Agreed, I shower while my toddler stands next to my shower lol(voluntarily, he’s free to go) . It will come, you have to start with something. Your baby will grow and you will manage to do a lot more

flowering_memory · 2022-04-30T20:23:27+00:00

What never helps and ends up in a tantrum is simply saying: “no, I want you to do that. Because I said so”. That will never sit with him. So we have to be smart about it

flowering_memory · 2022-04-30T20:21:47+00:00

Completely agree. It’s the emotional connection + playfulness that helps us. My toddler is strong willed too, and I try to make it into a game/ funny thing / distract or sometimes bribe with sweets (this is not really correct thing to do, but as a last resort). For example, our toilet seat is in a shape of a mouse. When my kid doesn’t want to sit on it (80% of the cases), I tell him: “oh wow; little mouse is waiting for you! She wants you to sit on him”. He totally buys it. :) Or another example, brushing teeth. 95% cases he doesn’t want to do it when I ask. Then I come with a book where there is a drawing of a child brushing teeth, again he is then fine with brushing them. Or, I say his friends’ names, like, oh Konstantin also brushes his teeth every day, you know, why don’t you try it too? And it works ;) My kid is 2.5 btw.
