Recently, my daughter has been off sitting on her high chair to have her meal and I have been trying to get her back to the routine of sitting down to have a meal. Then suddenly, I had a light bulb moment. If as a parent you have bought the IKEA 'ANTILOP' high chair, then you will understand that the tray attached to the high chair is removable. This was all I did, remove the tray in front of the high chair and moved the high chair to join the dinning table. Suddenly, my daughter was interested in sitting to have her meal again and she is happy to do this all by herself.

This showed that a little change can make a huge difference. Regardless of whatever the situation may be, a little change in your parenting skills, childcare business or approach to your childcare staff can definitely make the change you so want.

Key points for these changes to take place:

• Look at things from different approach or perspective.

• The change does not have to be a BIG idea.

• Try something new.

• Simplicity is the key.

• A little movement of company personal or family routine can bring the change you so desperately need.

• Be ready to take some risk, especially if it is in relation to your childcare business.

• Have some flexibility in your parenting, childcare business or event plan.

• It does not have to be how the manual described it.

• Be ready to re-evaluate your parenting skills, childcare business or event plan. See what is working, what is not working and how you can improve it.

• Light bulb moments can make a great difference when acted upon.

Remember, a little difference can make the huge change you so desperately need with your parenting skills, childcare business or event planning. Do not say 'it would not work' because it is little, but give it a go and see what change it can bring.
