There is a genius parenting hack in here from Emmerdale star Charley Webb mother parenthood
, and joins older brothers Buster, nine, and Bowie, three. While she's currently enjoying her maternity leave from the ITV soap, being a mum is certainly a full-time job in itself! Here we bring you the parenting tips Charley swears by to help her handle her growing brood - will you adopt any of these for your little ones?Back in September, the 31-year-old revealed the importance of tucking her children into bed at night.
Sharing a photo of herself and her eldest Buster in bed, she said: "My treasured time with the kids that I look forward to all day. It’s so important for me to have this chill time with Buster, he’s always running around all day and we both rarely get time together to just relax. A key part of our family bedtime routine is to cuddle up with a bedtime story."While a bedtime story is a key part of Charley's routine with her children, reading to them at any time of the day is just as crucial for the mum-of-three. "Reading is really important and it's part of our routine and our family life. We love the one-to-one time and talking about what books we're reading," she previously told"I've always thought reading to kids is important, it was part of my life when I was little too. And I think for their mental health it's good as well because there's so much going on for kids now and sometimes they grow up too quickly and they've got all these screens and iPads now. I think if you can have that time where kids can use their imagination and get involved in a book it's so positive and it's good for the parents too to have that time with their kids."A little mat can save a temper tantrum Charley revealed a genius parenting hack for when her three-year-old needs some "thinking time" when they're out and about. Earlier this month, the actress shared a photo of a personalised mat on Instagram Stories, which reads: "Bowie Time out to think about the things you do. Just remember that we LOVE YOU." Explaining the creative mat, Charley explained: "So, when we're out somewhere and Bowie needs thinking time we've got this little mat for him to stand on. Thank you @bespokelittlemakes."Charley was raised being taught that "if you’ve got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" – which is a lesson she appears to be passing down to her own children. The actress is often quizzed about why her sons have long hair, and instead of hitting out at her naysayers, she doesn't let other people's opinions affect her parenting. "Don't let my kids hair worry you," she wrote on Instagram beside a photo of Buster and his long locks. "I think people think they have a right to have an opinion because of social media. Maybe you do. But try keeping it to yourself, it’s not important to us what you think of how our kids look. Or how we look. Or their names or whatever it is you might want to comment on. I was always taught, if you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Try practicing it peeps. There’s enough awful stuff in the world without being mean to each other."If you want your child to sleep in your bed, then do it! Charley revealed she has a habit of sleeping in the bed with her kids because it's right for her. She said: "I will let them in my bed. And I will wake up to a tiny face resting on my arm because I want to. They're babies and then they're grown up, so much quicker than I ever thought was possible. Always do what is right for you and your kids. Not annoying people around you thinking they know best. They don't."
