If your partner comes with you depending on the type of person they are, they may only serve to exacerbate the situation. So, you must treat any trip to a supermarket as if you are marching off to war. For any war you must be prepared.<span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"><strong>Friendly Fire<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">If your child is a baby particularly between the ages of 0 and 6 months it is much easier at this stage. You are firmly in control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">With babies this young you may find you are subjected to delay by a score of grannies fawning over you precious babes. If this is the case then go with it. They may dispense with some friendly banter or pearls of wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">However, they may laden you with criticism, such as \u201cthat child should be wearing\u2026\u201d hat\/gloves\/shoes\/socks (delete as appropriate). The fact is they were wearing the specified item upon leaving the house but these items have a habit of wiggling off by course or by baby force. It may be impossible to get some babies to wear a hat or gloves. They can be strong-minded wilful little things at that age. And so can old people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">If you get the \u201cIn MY day\u2026\u201d speech and it is: a) patronising b) insulting c) well meaning but irritating, then the best thing to do is ignore them. If your baby\/toddler is crying on the bus and passengers over 60 begin to huff and puff like an old council house boiler then just don\u2019t care. Remember! They don\u2019t pay bus fare and you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">This is the modern way now and it\u2019s a better way. Their generation put babies down on their fronts, left children in gardens to exercise their lungs and allowed children to suck on lead soldiers. They don\u2019t understand the changes these days, as they are not informed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"><strong>The Battle Field<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">With toddlers the Shopping Hassle Scale creeps up a notch with their advancing development. They will strike a light for independence. They recognise the Thomas the tank engine toys and want them. They don\u2019t want to sit in the pram or trolley. They want to do what they want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Try to see the shop from their point of view. It\u2019s loud, busy, bright, full of products designed to capture the attention and you have most evilly clipped them into a seat. They paddy and play up so you get them out. They seize their chance to get away and inevitability beckons. They end up going berserk at a loud volume, scream, cry and make a spectacle of you. Products\/people may or may not be damaged in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"><strong>Strategic Plans of Attack<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">If this scenario is sounding familiar then worry not because you are not alone. Check out some Chopsy tips to see if you can make a trip to the shops stress free and an opportunity for learning and fun instead of an exercise in anger management.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Equipment:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">As well as your normal mum bag make sure you take along a drink, some snacks such as chopped fruit, raisins or something appropriate to age. Do not take sweets or chocolate. E numbers should not be added to the mix.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">The shopping list. You have everything you need ingrained on the brain. A sudden explosive act of illness or bad temperedness will erase this from your mind. Write it down and cross it off as you go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Try to involve your child in what you are doing so don\u2019t do a big shop in a rush during peak hours. Easily said from up here in Ivory Towers. Pass non-delicate items to your child to drop into the trolley. Praise them for doing well. Talk to them about what you are doing and say what you are passing them and even what colour it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Take a toy that is popular with your child but be wary about their favourite ones. Allowing the beloved teddy bear to go out will leave you with grey hair making sure they have not lobbed it away. Ones that attach to the trolley are great. Chopsy Baby highly recommends the Cart Tunes Jungle Jam Trolley Cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Arial;\">Be firm with yourself. Don\u2019t give in to demands, if you do you are making a great big rod for your back. Be firm and don\u2019t let your child learn how to manipulate you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">If they do throw a tantrum so what?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>What does it matter really? Just ignore other <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">people. They have their own problems and they are no more superhuman than you are. Use whichever method to deal with the tantrum you would do at home. Kids have to learn that you need to do the shopping and if it is a big shop then tough. They have to lump it like you do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">If they want to roll around the isles screaming then just calmly tell them you are not interested and walk away. Do make sure you can see them at all times out the corner of your eye. If they think they are really going to be left on their own, more often then not they will trot after you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Jolly them out of it somehow. Everyone\u2019s watching getting an eyeful of it so give them one. Lie down and roll around on the floor with them, then tell them how ridiculous they look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\">Finally just try to understand that if you were hauled off from your favourite activity or TV programme to go somewhere you didn\u2019t want to, where you were suddenly bombarded with interesting things and events that you weren\u2019t allowed to participate in realise how tedious and unfair it all is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Arial;\">Cart Tunes Jungle Jam Trolley Cover<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-252\" title=\"infantino\" src=\"http:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino.jpg 400w, https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/infantino-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">Made by Infantino, this toy is absolutely perfect for the stressful supermarket trip. It\u2019s a lightweight fabric toy with bright, fun, musical jungle animals giving the incarcerated toddler plenty to push, pull and teeth on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">It fits onto the trolley handle easily with adjustable Velcro straps. As well as taking it shopping it is adaptable to other situations. You can basically roll it out for playing with on the living room floor, wrap around the front pushchair bar should you have one, or wrap it around safe handles or rods.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">The toy also covers up grubby shopping trolley handles because let\u2019s face it. You never know who\u2019s been touching it and what they have been touching! People are dirty. As well as providing a protection cover against the germs on the trolley, the fabric is also protected by Microban Active Hygiene Protection providing hygienic handles all round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">The best thing about the toy is that you won\u2019t spend ages looking over your shoulder for missing in action toys because they are attached right in front of you. If attention and patience from your toddler is wandering off and you can see the first wriggles of discontent then you can bring them back round by wiggling and jiggling the animals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">We found it a fun and very handy device to take shopping. There are potentially 3-4 toys in one including a teether, so it can cut down on the baggage of taking a variety of different separate toys. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">For age 6 months and above a very important weapon in your supermarket shopping arsenal.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">\u00a39.99 <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\">www.amazon.co.uk<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">www.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\">thebabycatalogue.com <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Going Shopping: An exercise in modern warfare If your child is between the ages of 0 \u2013 16, you may<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bristol-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
