Parenting Tips & Tricks!
So, today I was playing sims. My sims family consists of a couple, a cat & dog, and two daughter (toddler & child). The couple started watching romance and things happened, but now the wife’s pregnant...

(1) Keep everything a toddler needs on the same floor. When I first started playing with toddlers, the family lived in a two-story home. I had their bedrooms upstairs and the rest of the home downstairs. Took to long to get the toddlers to get where they needed to go to do what they needed to do.
(2) At dinner time have someone make the largest serving meal (I think it is 8) and put it in the refrigerator. Toddlers always wake up extremely hungry. Take the meal out of the fridge and place it near the toddler's bed. If it is close enough, the child does not even have to leave their bed to start eating. After they have taken a plate, put the serving platter back in the refrigerator to serve at a later time.
(3) Keep a trash can next to the potty seat, preferably in the same room as the toddler's bed.
(4) Don't bother with the high chair, more of a pain in the rear than anything else.
(5) Reading a bedtime story cuts way down on the chances of a toddler waking up from a nightmare.
(6) Allowing a toddler to make their messes, actually builds a skill - forget which one it is at the moment. If you also have a child or teen in the home, have the child or teen clean up the mess, it will increase their responsibility points.
