Setting up your toddler for condo living can have its benefits like being with each other closely, more family time, and looking after your child with less space. However, raising a toddler in a condo also has its challenges, so it is important that you are prepared.
Consolidate clothing in one wardrobe
Clothes could potentially take up a lot of space, even if you split it into multiple drawers and rooms, so it is ideal that you keep every piece of clothing your family has in one closet. Just be mindful of where you will be placing it. A good spot would be where it’s convenient and easily accessible.
Improve your home’s security
Family safety is number one for any parent. Invest in security cameras in the blind spots of your condo, a lock or an intercom to add an extra layer of security for your family to keep them safe. Choosing a modern condo with smart home functionalities like Hudson Place Residences ensures a protected environment where you can feel secure.
Consider soundproofing solutions
Getting a noise complaint is no fun especially when you have a toddler. Investing and looking into soundproofing solutions allow you to deal with a toddler who’s crying and being fussy without involving your neighbors. It can also lessen the noise that gets in your condo when it gets too loud outside so it serves two purposes, blocking out noise from the inside and the outside. Acoustic panels on the wall is a simple way for soundproofing your apartment, but consult your building administrator as removing it in the future could potentially damage the unit.
Get your toddler involved in cleaning
Since there is less space, cleaning can be easier but dirt and dust can accumulate easily. Delegate your tasks to your children to get them moving and give them age-appropriate chores like fixing their bed and cleaning up after themselves after meals.
Help your child understand the rules
When your kid grows from a house, they may not understand the constraints of living in condos. It is important that you have the talk with them and enforce rules like avoiding unnecessary clutter and minimize noise during play.
