Yay! I am just so happy tonight that I saw my baby daughter Sam can already stand on her own in the crib. Yes, in her crib, just about an hour ago and she continues to do it until now. I think she got fascinated of her new journey, that is why she keeps on doing it. Just because she can manage to do it. OMG! Supposed-to-be she should be sleeping now but she won't. Alright, we have to dim our home now and be silent so she would sleep. There are tomorrows anyway to do it again and again. :-)
I feel happy seeing her achievement. I call it "achievement" because she is doing it by herself. Now, it's easy for her to hold and crib rails and manage to stand just in the snap of my finger. Yes, we have to keep the rails high so when she's there standing she won't fall-off separate from the crib. It is okay for her to fall-down in the crib because there are bumpers all-over and the bed is soft and there are only soft teeth-er around which would not harm her. But of course, I do not like seeing her her falling down if not for a "normal" thing. Good thing, she is holding strong. But of course, I am always near her to support in case she feels uncomfortable or in difficult situations. Sometimes, a child needs to experience difficulty to be stronger, but of course, just sometimes.
She can already balance of sitting by her own when she was about six months and now about nine months, she can already stand in her crib from sitting. Doing such by holding the rails of the crib. Happy me! :-) When letting her sit and can grasp the crib rails (even if she's far from it), then expect that anytime from that, she is already standing. :-)
Mommy's job is no ordinary. It is just a bonus if she has a helper or a good family circle to help her with the home chores. And not having mentioned the sleepless nights during her newborn's journey at the same she has to do the cooking, cleaning, laundry and the likes . That is a huge job. Now, if you think I am wrong, then I don't know what is on your mind. You must be a mother first or just be on my shoe and then you can judge. Or, ask most of the mommies, if not all of us. Ah ha! Which is which?
When it's on the sleepless nights journey, we just can wish to buy time so we can have a good sleep but then. On the other hand, if it's time to sleep, the opposite thoughts come in. And the jet-lag steals the time-being. Others tend to
buy zopiclone online, one of the sleep aids when it comes to science. That is when natural ways won't effect. Or rather, mommies tend to choose such. As for me, I did not yet tried using the pills but I think if I need it, one day I would rather take such than be on the look-out as if always waiting of sleeping time but it's the opposite that occur. It would be a big trouble. So such is an option I would consider to if it would help.
Ah, it's really not easy being a mommy but it is very much rewarding. It is just that we have to know how to deal with it.
My baby love, daughter Sam is now in transition from caring no one is around her or not, not likes to be with someone/everybody in the house. She gets irritated or crying when she cannot see me or anyone near her, most especially if you are playing with her then later you will go somewhere like to the comfort to pee or so, she cries. I found that cute and funny at times. Sometimes it is trouble since I have to tag her along wherever I am like in front of stove to boil water to warm her milk at the same time making her milk or to the comfort room. Nevertheless, she is a darling and I am complaining or minding of tagging her along with me everywhere as long as she is comfortable. Never mind my needs as long as she hers first. She is helpless without me, on the other hand, I can do everything like walking and alike, but not my Sam. An infant has just a low immune system. So I have to attain her needs or even her wants first than my needs.
She laughs and smiles a lot so that's a very big bonus to me. She never gets wary to anybody. But of course, infant should need to be away from the crowd most of the times, again, that is because infants have low immune system.
So that's it, that's one of my/her journey this week of being a mommy to a very darling living doll of mine, my baby love daughter Sam. :-) Have a great day! :-)
It has been said that very young children are like sponges. During the first five years of life, a child's brain will grow more than at any other time. These early years are when children take in their surroundings, learning as much as they possibly can from the world around them. Every situation and experience that a young child has is an opportunity for him/her to learn. However, children still need guidance and direction when it comes to learning. Here are some tips on how parents can teach their children to talk.
1. The Environment
One of the most important tips in teaching a child to talk is providing the right environment for the child to learn. An environment where the child is exposed to a great deal of language such as talking, singing and reading to the child, will go a long way in getting the child to understand the importance of language and communication and, thus, to mimic its components. A child's environment also includes things such as regular check-ups with the pediatrician to make sure developmental milestones are being met, as well as adequate amounts of sleep and a healthy diet. When a child is well rested, he/she will be more attentive during learning times. A healthy diet will not only help the child to feel his/her best, but through eating and chewing foods with different textures, the child becomes better aware of how to control the muscles in the mouth.
2. Talk like a Child
Talking to the child is the next tip in enhancing language development. When a parent talks to a child, it is important that the parent speaks on the child's level. Young toddlers are better able to understand simple sentences or a few words, as opposed to more complex sentences. A child will also be more likely to listen and respond when talking about a subject that interests him/her. Parents may also find that certain times of the day are better to engage a child than others.
3. Read Aloud
Reading aloud to a child from infancy is also a way to get the child used to language. Some mothers-to-be start to read or sing to their unborn babies during pregnancy. Whether reading aloud the newspaper or talking to a baby while doing laundry, the child is being exposed to language on a daily basis.
4. Be Positive
Positive reinforcement is important when trying to teach children anything new. When a child starts to babble and make new sounds, it is always a good idea to reinforce this behavior with encouragement. If the baby sees that this behavior is pleasing the parent, he/she will be more willing to continue making new sounds.
5. Be Repetitive
Children learn through repetition. Playing games with the baby, using flashcards and forming routines when trying to teach language are a good way to teach a child language skills. The child will get used to the repetition of the same words, phrases and routines on a daily basis.
6. Explain The Meaning
The final tip for teaching a child to talk is to use appropriate words when conversing with the child. If a child says "baba", respond to the child using the word " bottle" instead. Children may also use one term to refer to many similar things. It is important to explain the meaning of each different word. Soon, the child will start to differentiate on his/her own.
The most important part of teaching a child to speak is to talk to him/her. The more the child is exposed to language, the more he/she will mimic the behavior on his/her own.
