Quiz
Fusspot or free spirit?
What’s your parenting style? Relaxed and laid back or a little over-anxious? Take our quiz to find out.
1.
Your baby is at the clingy stage and is suddenly shy of everyone. Do you:
A. Put off all visitors until she’s over it?
B. Ignore it – pandering will only make her worse?
C. Give her lots of reassuring cuddles and explain to others that she’s happier on your lap for now?
2.
You’ve been given a baby listening device. How’s it working out for you?
A. Great – you’re able to dash straight up to your baby every time you hear a sound.
B. Fantastic - your husband can hear you from the bath and dash up with a lovely glass of wine!
C. It’s great with the volume turned down a bit so you can hear crying, but screen out tiny whimpers.
3.
Your baby demands lots of cuddles. Do you:
A. Carry her around with you everywhere you go?
B. Pick her up only when she cries so she doesn’t become ‘spoilt’?
C. Give her a cuddle when you can, and pop her in a sling to keep her close when she's a bit grizzly?
4.
You’re trying to establish a breastfeeding routine. Do you:
A. Feed on demand, even if your baby is almost permanently latched on?
B. Stick to four-hourly feeds no matter what?
C. Keep the routine flexible so she can have top-up feeds if necessary?
5.
A visiting child snatches a toy from yours. Do you:
A. Rush to comfort your toddler and tell the other child off?
B. Leave them to sort out their differences?
C. Step in and distract them with other toys?
6.
It’s turning a bit nippy outside. Do you:
A. Keep your toddler indoors – she could catch her death out there?
B. Let her refuse her coat – if she’s cold it’ll teach her to listen to you?
C. Dress her up warmly and go for an ‘I Spy’ walk together?
7.
Your child refuses to eat any vegetables. Do you:
A. Rush her to the health visitor without delay?
B. Refuse her any other food until she eats the veg first?
C. Decide not to force the issue, but give her soups and pasta sauces with hidden veg for now?
8.
She’s walking, but still falls over a lot. Do you:
A. Strap her into her pushchair whenever you’re out?
B. Let her take her chances – having accidents will teach her to be more careful?
C. Use reins on a busy street, but let her walk independently where she’s safer?
9.
A child at playgroup has headlice. Do you:
A. Keep your child home until the problem is completely eradicated?
B. Do nothing: every child gets headlice - so what?
C. Check your child’s hair regularly and nit-comb it once a week just in case?
10.
Your child is invited to a new friend’s house. Do you:
A. Insist on staying for the entire play date in case the parents are untrustworthy?
B. Drop her off and go shopping without a second thought?
C. Stay for a cup of tea until she’s settled and leave your mobile number in case of problems?
