It is not possible to care for your baby or your partner if you feel neglected, overstressed and overtired. The most important person in your baby’s life is you. Figuring out how to meet your baby’s needs take time, energy and love, but you also have to get your share of nurturing. For me, the hardest part of being a first-time mom was when I needed to wake up in the middle of the night for feedings. I am so glad that I have passed that stage.
I understand that a full night’s sleep is next to impossible during the first months of my baby’s life, which is why; I rest whenever I can. I tried to nap or relax when my baby naps. I make sure that I am eating well-balanced, nutritious foods to maintain my energy. I have healthy snacks of fruits, juices, nuts, cheese, and yogurt. After childbirth, getting my body back into shape is also impossible. It probably takes a few more months to lose that extra weight.
Chinese people, if not all, but most of them rely on Feng Shui. Feng Shui literally means “wind and water,” the elements that sustain life. Regardless of their school, geomancers invariably assert that feng shui is an exact study of the laws and process of nature. It is rooted in the belief that everything that exists has an energy field that can be harnessed to man’s advantage.
On the other hand, the non-Chinese's people, specifically Filipinos, some of us believe on
psychic reading. Some of them, before they could decide whatever plans they have, they first consult it to a person who claimed that they could foresee the future. However, there are also people who are curious about the people who have six senses. They wanted to try their credibility if they could really read or foresee their future.
The usual things that they wanted to know in the future are money, career, love life, their lucky numbers, their compatible partner in life, the suitable business for you, and more. I have not tried to go to a psychic reader, so I am not sure whether the psychic reader will also tell the bad luck that coming on your way.
Anyhow, for me, the only person who could tell and knows our future is the one sitting above. If you trust HIM, then you are in the right way. Trials will always come to our lives, and it is us and no one else will work for it, so we can overcome these trials, and prayers are the best weapon to conquer all the trials in life.
It is normal for today’s mom to be proud of whatever development their children are having. That’s why pictures of firsts like first-step, first-grip, and first-immunization-day photos can fill up their social networking accounts. There’s nothing bad about it but some parents would rather choose to keep their children’s profile offline for some very important reasons.
These parents decided to keep it because they don’t want to place their children’s information for possible cyber-bullying acts. It believed that what has been posted online can never be kept private even with the presence of privacy options. These parents would want to involve their children with this kind of activity online but would then let them decide when the right time comes.
When these children will know how to operate gadgets or with parental guidance would finally know how to have their online accounts but not social networking because basically it is not allowed when a child is below 18 years old as per Facebook Rules and Guidelines (by the way Facebook is the leading social networking site nowadays), when they're already 18, then that’s the time that could decide to share their photos online.
Most children would have come into contact with a cat and a dog from a fairly young age but horses are seen as a lot bigger and scarier and sometimes a child will not have had any interaction with a horse when they are young making it scarier for them as an older child or grown up. Horses are not as common a pet as a cat or a dog and the chances of knowing someone with a horse are not that high so it might involve a journey to a farm or local stables to ensure your child is familiar with a variety of animals. Equally, it is really important for a horse to feel secure around children. Some horses have a highly nervous disposition and will not like children or will be very nervy around them which is why it is also good for a horse to be used to children from a young age if possible.
When introducing a horse to a child it is important to be really careful. Ensure the child is aware of what is happening and follows basic rules such as to not put their hand up to a horse’s mouth and to only feed a horse from a flat hand under adult supervision. Do not let your child run about near the horse and never let them walk behind a horse in case the horse kicks their legs out and accidently strikes them.
Take your child to a horse that will be okay around children, don’t make a potentially dangerous situation worse by introducing them to a nervy and jumpy horse. Equally do not take a child that you know will react badly, might hit out at an animal or screech at them making them jump.
If you have a good horse and a good child then there is a lot you can do to make the situation fun. They can help with various tasks such as cleaning out the stable, grooming the horse and helping make up feeds. Children can follow instructions so would be able to make up feeds that include a few different types of horse food, horse supplements and if they are older they may be able to chop carrots to add to food. They key is make the situation fun and pleasant for both the horse and child and introduce them to each other at a young age so they grow up being familiar with them.
