As I wonder if I am teaching my kids anything, are they learning and is it sinking in Joshua (my almost 15 month old) climbs up on my lap. With an empty roll-on essential oil bottle (Deep Relief and Tranquil) and lifts up the edge of my shirt and rubs in on my tummy. Being fully aware that this took no prompting and that he was smiling knowing what he were doing. I am so thankful that my kids love the smell of oils and know how to properly use them for the most part.
Which on that note; last week my curious 4 year old (Joy) was at my friends office and found a bottle of Thieves Spray and accidently sprayed in her eyes while looking at it. As calmly as possible I got a cool cloth and some V-6 Oil and applied. With in minutes she was all better. NO need to call poison control or go to the hospital because it was an "all natural product" and it was not chemically based.
Joy has wanted recently to help me start cleaning, etc. I can have her help me clean without worrying because I clean with Thieves Household Cleaner which is completely safe and chemical free.
Both my children LOVE to brush there teeth and this is something that I enjoy seeing them do together. And we use again all natural tooth paste. We introduce them to teeth brushing as young as 10 months and use Thieves Toothpaste and Kid Scents Toothpaste. The kids will use both toothpaste and love the flavor of both!
