postheadericon Teaching Your Child to Talk


Here are some ways to boost your child’s vocabulary: A mommy or a parent must talk as much and as often as you can directly to your toddler, whether it is carrying on an actual conversation, singing a song or reading to her. Look at her while you talk. Let her see your face and your gestures.

Repetition is the key. If you read her a story, don’t get tired of reading it again and again. Repeat concepts taught as much as you can. Children’s songs are a great way to teach concepts by repetition. Example: My toes, my knees, my shoulder, my head.

Talk to her as you are talking to a grown-up. Kids in a learning journey say the cutest things, such as “wee-wee” for pee, “tenchu” for thank you, “pleet” for please, but don’t let these tempt you into mimicking them during conversations. Hearing you use baby talk may just confuse your toddler and won’t help her language development.


The Toyota Camry has turned into a somewhat legendary type of car, and it is always amazing to see Toyota fit such an amazing design in such a small price tag. They have really outdone themselves this year, and the design of the Camry has never been so polished than it is right now. The high quality materials found in this car make you wonder how it is able to be sold for such a low price, and the performance of this car makes you forget about the vehicles that can be found at a higher price level. One of the main things that people (especially a working mommy/mommies in driving journey) are pointing out about this car is its ability to stay quiet on the road. When people test drive it at the Toyota Camry dealerships, they are extremely surprised at how they do not have to talk loudly just to be heard by someone who is sitting right next to them. The performance of this car is driven by a 156 horsepower engine, but the main feature of this car has always been its dependability. You can always count on a Toyota Camry to last far into the future, and you never have to worry about a lot of costly maintenance decisions. Whenever you want to find a car that simply works and gets the job done, you can always count on Toyota to come up with the perfect design packaged up in a great deal.

postheadericon Treat Her Well


It will be helpful for you to know your child’s temperament, or at least, to have an idea about it. By knowing this, you will gain valuable insight into your child and her behavior. If a child with a difficult temperament is challenging you, you probably wish to get at the root of the problem, mommy. Perhaps you found yourself viewing your child in a negative light by labeling her as cry-baby or a wild child.

I am lucky because my child has a little temperament, or perhaps I am quick to respond to her needs and wants before she explodes. Okay, she's still on her way to "terrible two" and let's see.

I believe that a child with a difficult temperamental is as normal as a child with an easy or slow to warm up temperament. I think, once the parents know and understand the child’s temperament, we can view our child’s behavior objectively. This will help us to refrain from emotionally lashing out or withdrawing from our child.

postheadericon Manners Matter


It is never too early to teach children good manners. Studies show that even at a very young age, kids are already capable of learning and expressing empathy and concern for others. Teaching manners becomes easier when it is a common practice in the household.

As social beings, children learn by doing. From birth onward, children are constantly picking up emotional and behavioral cues from the people around them, such as parents, siblings, caregivers and alike. However, it is not enough to simply tell children what to do and say; showing them by example counts most.

Where do you begin in teaching toddlers good manners? Start with the basics, saying “please” and “thank you”. If your little one wants a bottle of milk, teach her to ask for it in a proper way by stating, “May I have some milk please?” while you are pouring it. When you hand it to her, affirm and say “Thank you.” This is also works well if you and your child are visiting friends and relatives. When she asks for something, remind your child to say please and thank you.
