How to Teach Your Child to Blow Their Nose - 5 Easy Tips
Becoming a parent is the easiest way to know which habits and behaviours we take for granted in our lives. Helping your kids to learn them the right way can seem pretty easy, but it can be quite challenging in truth. Teaching your kid to blow his nose can seem impossible as the days go by, but a few tips can change the game in your favour.
Tips To Teach Kids To Blow Their Nose
Knowing that it can be difficult for children to understand how exactly to blow air through the nose to clear it up, a few tips and tricks can help them get the hang of it. Repeating them enough can help them blow their nose on their own in good time.
1. Blowing Air From The Mouth And Nose
Many kids take some time in blowing air voluntarily from either the nose or the mouth and doing so with good force. Breathing takes place reflexively and children barely even realise that they are doing it. Their lung capacities take some time in reaching the point where they can blow steadily and with good force, too.
Until then, you can always indulge in small activities or games that focus on blowing air out of the mouth. Let them make an “o” shape with their mouth and blow air on each other. Use birthday candles to amp the fun or make use of paper toys and blow them around.
Once they can blow air properly, ask them to shut their mouth and attempt to blow. This will instantly make them aware of how the air flows out of the nose instead.
2. Using A Handkerchief Or Tissue The Right Way
Whether your child can blow his nose correctly or is still learning to do so, it is imperative that he learns to wipe his nose using a hanky or a tissue paper correctly. Blowing the nose will help clear it up quickly, but there will be instances when he has a runny nose, or a booger finds its way out of the nostril.
Your kid might rub his nose excessively with his hands and then interact with other objects, making it even more unhygienic. Teach him how to use a hanky and clean his nose and the part above his upper lip. Let him try it out on your nose as well and understand how to clean it up.
Some children might have trouble coordinating their hands and face together in the right way. Teach your kid to start from the bridge of the nose and run his fingers down to the tip. Once he’s there, he can use the hanky to rub all the areas close to the tip slowly.
3. Cleaning Up During Bath Time
Making use of a hanky or tissue can make things messy quickly. Also, using an external object close to their nose does make some children a bit uncomfortable. Let them get used to their nose being interacted with. And the best time to do so is during their bath.
If your child has a runny nose, let him do his best in clearing it up. Teach him to blow air correctly and ask him to do so with his mouth closed. Your child might blow out forcibly and get the mucus and booger all over the place. Fret not, as it can quickly be cleaned with the bath water.
When drying your kid, use the towel and let him dry his nose with it. While doing so, ask him to clean it well and blow his nose if he can. He will be much more receptive to it than earlier.
4. Seeing The Act Of Blowing And Cleaning The Nose In A Mirror
You might have noticed that children have trouble rubbing their eyes properly or scratching an itch on their face. At a young age, most kids do not have a good understanding of the way their face is structured and rely primarily on guesswork. When it comes to cleaning the nose, this also poses a major problem in most cases.
Use the mirror in your home for this. Start by telling your child to touch his nose while looking in the mirror. Use both hands while doing so and then hand him a hanky while doing the same. Once he can interact with his nose, teach him how to clean the nostrils and hold the hanky while blowing his nose.
It may take him a few tries to get things right. You can sit with him in front of the mirror, too. Children do learn a lot from observation, and he can try and mimic your actions while looking in the mirror. Avoid the confusion of left and right by sitting close to the mirror, so that only the faces are visible.
5. Keep It Simple And Learn With Fun
It might seem difficult to teach your kid to blow his nose correctly, but it is even more difficult for him to figure it out for himself. Children will observe how easily you do it yourself and will struggle with the fact that it is not easy for them. Try to guide your child through it.
The moment it starts getting stressful for the child or you scold him for not cleaning his nose correctly, he might give it up altogether and prefer to play around with a runny nose. Help your child understand the discomfort of having a nose that leaks constantly and is filled. When that gets in the way, he will be more open to learning the right way to clean it up.
Figuring out how to get a child to blow their nose is one of those challenges that come across in your life as a parent. Just like potty training, proper practice and guidance can help make things proceed in the right direction. In case your child seems to experience a runny nose more often than others, talk to your doctor and check if you can make use of an aspirator to help him out with it.

Even though women consider juttis as old-fashioned because they’re flat, here’s how they can be your go-to footwear during weddings.
1. Juttis Put an End to Your Hunt for Bling
Weddings are all about bling; irrespective of whether it’s your own brother’s wedding or your husband’s best friend’s sister’s wedding, you’re always on the hunt for something jazzy! We all have that one pair of heels that comes to mind when we think about bling in our wardrobes. Well, add some more bling with a nice pair of embellished juttis. They’re super stylish, comfortable enough to wear for a couple of hours at a stretch, and no doubt trendy. Plus, you can’t ever go wrong with a pair of juttis. They’re elegant and timeless, and that’s precisely what you’re looking for at weddings, right?
2. Juttis Complete Your Traditional Look
When you wear a pretty lehenga or a traditional floor-length gown, it’s unreasonable to expect a pair of high heels to complete the look for you! The sole reason being that they’re western. Traditional clothes demand fabulous accessories. So if you can take the effort to match your bangles & earrings to your dress, why settle for a single pair of heels? Go ahead and grab a pretty pair of embellished juttis that match your outfit. This modern-day footwear can be paired with every traditional outfit - sarees, shararas, dhoti pants, lehengas, churidars and even palazzos, you name it!
3. Flat Juttis Equal Comfort
Heels are great, no doubt, but be honest when you ask yourself this: How comfortable are heels compared to flats? You know the answer right? Indian weddings can be long, not to mention exhausting. To be honest, nothing beats the feeling of coming home after a long get-together and placing your bare feet on the cold floor. You’re more likely to long for this feeling when you’ve stuffed your feet in a pair of heels for a couple of hours. But that’s not how juttis will treat you. They’re flat and comfortable, feet-friendly some would say. No matter how long the wedding lasts, juttis will not make your hips and back ache. You can easily walk around in them, without worrying about their heel sliding into the grass on the lawn. The best part about juttis is that once you put them on, they let you be yourself without having to check on them every 5 minutes.
4. Pastel Shades to Fit Your Needs
For those of you who steer clear from bling, pastels shades are ideal. If the thought of embellished juttis puts you off, then know this that tiny golden flowers on a pair of peach juttis too fall under this category. Not too jazzy, yet perfect for traditional outfits. When you wear an outfit that says bling, you’re not always looking for something equally sparkly right? This is exactly where pastel shades will come to your rescue. Opt for a pair in pretty pastels and go easy on your feet this wedding season. They’ll effortlessly complete your look, not to mention the elegance they add to every outfit.
5. Juttis Offer Scope for Customization
For women who are very picky about their footwear, juttis offer a wide scope for customization. Being originally hand-crafted, juttis give you the opportunity to play around with colours and tassels. Right from picking the kind of material and the cushioning of the sole, you can make the perfect pair for your feet, something that will go well with your traditional outfits. Right from colourful sequins, ghungroos & mirrors to katdana & zardozi work, there are a lot of ways to style them. Embellished juttis with pom poms and tiny beads are ideal for weddings and numerous other functions. The best part is that getting a pair customized is not as expensive as one might think. Juttis are reasonably priced, and they are easily available in Indian local markets.
So ladies, why wait? Go grab a nice pair of juttis to jazz up your style this wedding season. Irrespective of whether you love serious embellishments, mirror work or our very traditional phulkari work on your juttis, know it for a fact that they won’t disappoint you!

The Horrifying Reason Behind This Baby's Cough Will Almost Stop Your Heart
No one knows love quite like moms do. Their baby is their life and they do everything in their power to keep him safe. But are you sure your precautions are enough? Could your baby still be at risk for something that threatens to snatch him away from you? The horrifying experience that this ten month old baby and his mother went through will force you to reconsider every precaution you take for your infant.
Little Laith was spending the day at his grandmother's home. He was crawling happily, all well with his world. And then suddenly, he started coughing. His mother Jude immediately went to check on him, assuming it was just a usual cough.
But nothing about that morning was usual anymore. It rapidly turned frightening.
Laith was struggling to breathe. He had turned blue and his mouth started to froth. His eyes were rolling. He looked in great pain and Jude’s heart almost stopped seeing her baby in this condition.
Immediately, Laith was taken to the hospital and given oxygen. He recovered a bit but still found it difficult to eat or drink. Was it possible that something was stuck in his throat? The staff conducted an X-Ray to confirm this – but it came back clear. Over the next few days, Laith had a fever and poor appetite but otherwise seemed to be gaining back his health.
But this was not to be.
His mother soon realised that there was something seriously wrong when she sat down to feed him solid food. Though Laith chewed his food, it quickly regurgitated. The food would come back into his mouth. The doctors attributed this problem to tonsillitis, or an inflammation of the tonsils in the throat. This is not a grave problem and easily rectified using local anaesthetics to help the patient swallow. For a while, Jude did as the doctors said.
"Although I wasn't convinced, I tried the spray and Laith still struggled to swallow. I thought it best to give him a break from solids and started only giving him pureed soups and milkshakes.”
But a mother’s heart is more intuitive than the biggest team of doctors. Jude felt it somewhere that something was very wrong with her baby. Something that the doctors hadn’t been able to put their finger on. Laith kept regurgitating more food. He sometimes did it right before bedtime. Jude lived in the constant fear that he could choke on his food in his sleep. His X-Rays continued to be clear. But he continued to be in pain…
And then finally, it was an operation and a close investigation of the oesophagus that identified the problem. The real reason that was causing Laith all the discomfort and putting his life at risk is beyond shocking.
"On Saturday, 13 August, Laith was operated on, and a plastic angel, measuring almost 2cm, was found in his oesophagus. I am still so traumatised by the whole experience. Ultimately, I shouldn't have had to chase after medical providers for answers. The duty of care given to children and babies should never be compromised. My child should not have had to suffer in such discomfort for as long as he did.”
The most horrifying part of this parent’s experience is that it can happen to any of us! It can happen despite the best precautions. As moms, we babyproof our house and keep choking hazards away from our baby, but somehow, incidents like these catch up on us unaware. If not diagnosed on time, or mis-diagnosed like in Laith’s case, we may have to pay the price with our baby’s life. Laith suffered through this for two weeks. We shiver at what could have happened had the toy been stuck in there longer. The shock and heartbreak of seeing your darling in such severe trauma can taint you for life.
We urge you to be extra careful around your kids and also instruct your caregivers, family members, etc. to do so. Do not keep any small objects in your baby’s presence. They love putting everything inside their mouth and you cannot risk this. Be wary of symptoms such as difficulty in breathing or swallowing, loss of appetite or fever. If you suspect something is wrong, don’t delay in visiting your doctor and getting all necessary examinations performed at the earliest. Read more
