Child development

 Child development involves biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in humans starting from the birth till end of adolescence. These developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life. Developmental change may occur because of maturation, or as a result of environmental factors and learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. Development of baby involves learning process of memorizing, language, thinking and reasoning. Baby learns to recognize sound of people surrounding them. During this stage, baby also develops bonding of love and trust with other humans. The way parents cuddle, hold, and play with baby that sets the basis for how baby will interact with world and develop their mind. The early you start stimulating your baby's senses early he/she will learn thing surrounding. This encourages your baby to learn and develop faster. Here are some of the things that I started with my daughter and found very effective.  Talk: Talk to your baby regularly. Talk to your baby like he/she is an adult and understand your language. Try to avoid speaking in a sing-song manner. This is natural that child learns to speak in manner they are spoken to, and if you speak to him/her like an adult, he/she will pick up the language a lot faster. Walk: Encourage your baby to start walking by letting him/her stand holding on to things that are present in your room like bed, table or any other furniture. To encourage him/her you can keep a favorite toy on the bed, and encourage him/her to reach for it. Keep in mind children need stimulation and encouragement, but not force.  Food: You will find lot of advice on what to give and what not to give to your baby but in early stage your baby develop taste buds so give him/her things that he like and try to develop habit of taking things that he/she may not like. Some baby like sugar and some like salty but it is parent responsibility to give balanced diet that include liquid and solid.  Try that your baby eats by herself by putting her on the feeding chair and … [Read more...]

How to rear children

  While I was researching for an article to write about parenting for my blog publisher, I was lucky to find one such book that is a current bestseller on the New York Times list of best selling books... “Ten Basic Principles of Good Parenting” by Laurence Steinberg and Laura Carnell and published by Simon & Schuster. The book was a revelation. It was so easy to understand and follow the advice that I highly recommend all parents to go through it just for the wealth of information inside it. But there was one sentence that caught my attention and made me think deeply. Most parents feel that they are inadequate as parents when they are overwhelmed by the problems they had to face while dealing with their children. According to Dr. Steinberg “There are no ideal parents anywhere!” He further goes on to add that all parents are good parents and there is never a parent that is ideal all the time. All parents can strive to be still better parents for now. Here is how he says it can be done. He formulates 10 rules to be observed while dealing with children...  How you treat your children is vital    Keep this rule pasted on your mind where you can see it all the time. How you react and treat your child will depend on what you want to get done from them every day. Remind yourself with the question “How will my child respond if I behave in a certain way?”  Remember there are no limits to loving your child  It should be noted that you cannot mess up your child with plain love. There is no limit to loving your child. You can ruin your child only by being too lenient when you should not or by giving too many material things, all but not by love alone.  Engage yourself with your child  For a parent, this is most important but can seem to be a futile task for many. Keeping time off for the child can mean changing of priorities for most working mothers and fathers in modern times. There is no alternative; you have to sacrifice some of your interests for their sake.  Keep pace with your parenting to match with your … [Read more...]
