Akuyona imfihlo ukuthi ukulungiselela ingane kuyabiza. Kodwa ngaphambi kokuthi uthenge okuthile okusetshenzisiwe, qiniseka ukuthi ucwaninge izinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi nokunye okukukhathazayo zokuphepha.
Ukuba umzali omusha kungaba nzima. Ufuna ukwenza yonke into ngendlela efanele, kodwa kuningi ongakufunda. Futhi lelo jika lokufunda lihlanganisa ukuqonda ukuthi yimiphi imikhiqizo yezingane ebalulekile engathengwa ngokuphepha (uzongele amaRandi ambalwa) futhi okufanele ithengwe entsha—ngokucabangela izinto ezifana nezinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi nezinye izingozi.
Okubalulekile okuthathayo ukuthi zikhona ngempela izinto ezingahlanganiswa ngokuphephile enkulisa yakho esesekeni, kodwa uzofuna ukwenza ucwaningo lwakho kuqala ukuze uthole ukuthi yiziphi izinto ezibalulekile zezingane ezifanelekelayo.
Udinga usizo oluncane lokukulungisa konke? Nali iqoqo lezinto ukuze uhlale uthola izindaba ezintsha, ezinikeziwe zedethi yokuphelelwa yisikhathi, kanye nalezo ongakwazi ukufunda ngazo ngokuphephile i-OfferUp, i-Facebook Marketplace, nanoma iyiphi enye isayithi esetshenzisiwe ukuze uyithenge ngesaphulelo.

Izihlalo eziphezulu
Izihlalo eziphezulu azinazo izinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi; inqobo nje uma isihlalo sisesimeni esihle, singasetshenziswa ngokuphepha kaninginingi, kusuka komunye umntwana kuya kwesinye noma ukusuka komunye umndeni kuya komunye.
“Inqobo nje uma inehhanisi elinamaphuzu amathathu elivimbelwe ukugoba kanye nensika engashintshi—okubili okuzovimbela ingane ukuba ingakwazi ukukhuphuka noma ukushibilika—ngakho-ke iyamukeleka ukuthi isetshenziswe,” kweluleka uChristen Costa, oyi-CEO. yomhlahlandlela womkhiqizo namasevisi Ukubuyekezwa Kwegajethi. "Uma umngane noma ilungu lomndeni likunikeza i-hand-me-down efanelana nale mihlahlandlela, zizwe ukhululekile ukukuthatha."
Isilawuli
Akuyona neze imfihlo ukuthi izinqola, okuyizinto zezingane ezibalulekile, zingabiza. I-Consumer Reports ithi bangathengisa ngemali engaphezu kuka-$1,000. Kodwa asikho isidingo sokusebenzisa imali engaka; ukuthenga isilawuli esisetshenzisiwe kungenye yezindlela zokwehlisa izindleko.
"Kuphephe kakhulu ukuthenga isilawuli esisetshenzisiwe, njengoba esisha singakulimaza ekongeni kwakho," kusho u-Elizabeth Hicks, umsunguli we-Parenting Nerd, isayithi elihlinzeka ngolwazi mayelana nezingane kanye nemikhiqizo ethrendayo elungele abazali. "Ngaphambi kokuthenga isinqola esike sasetshenziswa, qiniseka ukuthi uhlola ukuthi izihlalo zihlezi ngendlela efanele yini nokuthi amabhuleki ayasebenza yini. Futhi qinisekisa ukuthi usuku lwaso lokukhiqiza lungemva kukaSepthemba 2015, njengoba kungaleso sikhathi lapho kwaphasiswa khona izindinganiso zokuphepha zenhlangano yezinqola." U-Hicks uphinde weluleka ngokucwaninga ukuthi ingabe isilawuli othemba ukusithenga sisetshenzisiwe sisohlwini lokukhumbula lweKhomishini Yokuphepha Komkhiqizo Wabathengi uma wenza isinqumo.
Amathoyizi ezingane ayisisekelo
Amathoyizi ezingane alula, angeyona inkimbinkimbi angaba umkhiqizo omuhle kakhulu ongawathenga, kodwa kunemikhawulo ethile yokuthi amathoyizi kufanele abe madala kangakanani, kusho uJosie Cornhill, umbhali we-blogger ongumzali ophinde abe nokuthengisa amagiya ezingane asesebenzile nawezingane aklanyelwe ukuvumela abazali. ukudayisela abanye abazali izinto zabo.
Ngaphambi kuka-2008, bekuneziqondiso zokuphepha kwamathoyizi, kodwa zazingaphoqelelwa ngumthetho futhi lokho kusho ukuthi amathoyizi akhiqizwa ngaphambi kwalokho angase angaphephile ngendlela obufisa ngayo,” kusho uCornhill. "Izindinganiso ezidingekayo zamathoyizi nazo zaqiniswa ngo-2018, okusho ukuthi kuphela amathoyizi enziwe ngemuva kwalokho aqinisekisiwe ukuthi asezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu lokuphepha."
Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amathoyizi owathengayo asetshenzisiwe aphephile, ungathengi amathoyizi ezingane ezineminyaka engaphezu kwemithathu kuya kwemine ubudala, kusho uCornhill.
“Ikakhulukazi, gwema amathoyizi ezingane zakudala, njengoba insimbi yayivame ukusetshenziswa kupende futhi ingaba yingozi,” kweluleka uCornhill.
Okokulala
Kunzima ukungahambi kahle ngezingubo zokulala esezike zasetshenziswa, njengoba zingawashwa kalula, kusho uCornhill.
"Izinto okungafanele uzithenge ezisetshenzisiwe omatilasi. Omatilasi abasetshenzisiwe bahlotshaniswa nesifo sokufa kwezingane ngokuzumayo ," usho kanje. "Yize isixhumanisi singaqondwa ngokugcwele, kunconywa ukuthi ungathengi omatilasi abasetshenzisiwe."
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umatilasi awukwazi ukuhlanzwa kalula, kodwa esinye isizathu sokuthi abayona into enhle ongayifaka ohlwini lwakho lokuthenga izinto ezisetshenzisiwe.
Izingubo zezingane
Njengoba noma yimuphi umzali engafakaza, izingane zikhula ngokushesha. Futhi ngokuvamile zikhula ngokushesha ezingutsheni zazo kangangokuthi izinto zisabukeka zintsha, kodwa azisalingani. Zisindise imali (futhi wenzele iplanethi umusa ngenkathi ukuyo) ngokuthenga izingubo ezisetshenziswe ngobumnene, esikhundleni sezintsha.
“Kuphephe kakhulu ukuthenga izingubo zezingane ezike zasetshenziswa, vele uzihlanze ngokushesha ngaphambi kokuthi uzigqokise enganeni yakho,” kusho uCornhill.

Izihlalo zemoto
Lokhu kufanele ngempela kube okungenangqondo. Isihlalo semoto sivikela impilo yengane yakho futhi akufanele sithengwe sisetshenziswe.
"Ukuphepha kuyinto okufanele ithathwe ngokungathi sína, futhi ukuthola isihlalo semoto esishibhile, esisetshenzisiwe akulona ikhona ofuna ukuwela kulo," kusho uCosta, weGadget Review. "Izihlalo zezimoto zinezinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi, futhi awukwazi ukuthembela ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi umdayisi ozama ukuthi uthenge esazo esisetshenzisiwe akazange abe sengozini ngaso. Kunalokho, thenga esisha esigunyazwe ukuthi iphephile futhi iyavikela."
Usuku lokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwezihlalo zemoto ngokuvamile luyiminyaka eyisithupha kuya kweyi-10 ngemva kwesikhathi esakhiwa ngaso, kunezela u-Costa. Imithetho ethinta izihlalo zemoto ivamise ukushintsha uma kuziwa ezimweni zokuphepha, ngakho-ke izinsuku zokuphelelwa yisikhathi ziyasungulwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi izihlalo zemoto ezithengiswayo ezitolo zihambisana nemithetho yakamuva.
"Ukugqokwa okujwayelekile ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kungawenza angasebenzi kahle, futhi ngaleyo ndlela aphephe," kuqhuba uCosta. "Izihlalo eziningi zezimoto zenziwe ngamapulasitiki asekelwe ku-petroleum, kanti nakuba ziqinile, zingehliswa yizinto zemvelo njengokuchayeka ekushiseni."
Izinkukhu
Njengezihlalo zemoto, ama-cribs angenye into okufanele ngempela ithengwe entsha ngezizathu zokuphepha. "Ngokudabukisayo, kuye kwaba nokufa kwezinsana ezihambisana nezindlwana eziphukile noma ezilahlekile-kuhlanganise nezikhala ezilungisiwe. Kungaba nzima ukusho ngokubheka nje ukuthi umbhede ushintshiwe yini," kusho u-Lauren Levy, ummeli wokulala okuphephile. kanye nomsunguli wewebhusayithi kaMama ka-Aden, enikelwe ekulaleni okuphephile kwezinsana okusekelwe ebufakazini.
Uma uthatha isinqumo sokusebenzisa umbhede owawuphethwe ngaphambilini, qiniseka ukuthi uqinisekisa izinto ezintathu, kusho uLevy:
- Ukuthi umbhede wakhiwe ngemva kukaJuni 2011, lapho izindinganiso zokuphepha zakamuva zisetshenziswa
- Ukuthi i-crib ayizange ishintshwe nganoma yisiphi isikhathi
- Ukuthi umbhede uhlanganiswe ngendlela efanele, njengokusho kwencwadi yomsebenzisi
Dlala Igceke
Uma uhlela ukusebenzisa igceke lokudlala nengane yakho, ukuhamba kwakho okuhle ukuthenga le nto entsha. Kungase kube nezinkinga ezihlukahlukene zokuphepha ezihlobene nezinguqulo ezisetshenzisiwe ze-mesh, amayadi ezingane aphathekayo.
I-CPSC ithi kunezigameko ezingaphezu kuka-2,100 lapho amagceke okudlala abikwe ejensi phakathi kukaNovemba 2007 noDisemba 2011, okuhlanganisa nokufa kwabantu abangu-60 kanye no-170 abalimala.
“Uma, nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, umnikazi wangaphambili engeza umatilasi owengeziwe egcekeni lokudlala (okuyindawo enkulu yokuphepha ye-no-no), kungenzeka ukuthi welule inetha futhi wehlise ubuqotho besakhiwo,” kuchaza uLevy.
Uma unquma ukusebenzisa igceke lokudlala elaliphethwe ngaphambilini, qiniseka ukuthi uyaqinisekisa ukuthi igceke lokudlala lakhiwa ngemva kukaFebruwari 2013, lapho amazinga okuphepha akamuva asetshenziswa. Uzophinde ufune ukuqinisekisa ukuthi igceke lokudlala alikaze lilungiswe noma nini nokuthi umatilasi owengeziwe awukaze usetshenziswe, kusho uLevy.
