Toddlers are fascinated with books especially those that have vivid and colorful visual prints and images. Engage her to browse at these books while you go on to read to her the adventures of little duckling or the classic Pinocchio. Remember, even though your toddler is too young to completely comprehend an entire story, this is a stepping stone in stimulating his imagination.
Attentive toddlers would have lots of “why’s” while you are reading books to her. If you get tired of the constant why’s, don’t simply fall back on “That’s just the way it is” or “Because I said so.” Instead, try to deflect them by asking her what she thinks. Her answer may amuse you, but mommy, try not to laugh at him/her. His/Her mind is really working in amazing ways as your toddler puts together what information she has about the world with a toddler’s fertile imagination. If you truly don’t know the answer, tell her the two of you can journey of finding it out together.
Great idea to ponder on, huh!
Behind those chores and responsibilities we are juggling everyday, we mommies, also like to have "mommy-me-time" , to have time for ourselves, usually the quiet time, that is. Some may read news online and digging up the how's of this and that such particular was made and the reaction towards human being. We may find it interesting if we are fond of sciences, reading the news and current events regarding it. The studying of the physical world. Isn't it interesting? How we interact towards it? How it affects us? Its advantages, and so on and so forth.
If you are that person who likes journeying into what is happening of our world with regards to science and technology in our free time, and reading about space and technology is something you could appreciate and enjoy, I think you will like to read it in SciTechDaily.com (this website is popular in the World Wide Web) as they provide latest information and updates on technology news. For me, that is so amazing.
The information about sciences and technology on the site could also be used as reference for a student. And you can also ask by hitting the "Contact" button just at the top right column of the website. You may ask about anything related (of course) or some resources, or whatever questions you have in mind, You may also could bookmark the page for easy access, or follow them on Twitter, and like them on Facebook too so you'll get updates on anywhere you are, or on your favorite social network.
The decision to have a child is a basic human right of a mommy and a daddy, but it also comes with risks and responsibilities. Responsible parenthood is encouraged as it brings more benefits to all the members of the family and society in general. The benefit from responsible parenthood includes allowing more time for you, as wife and mother, can provide love and attention to your husband and children. Also, this would an opportune time for you to finish a course or even pursue higher education so that you can work and practice your profession to help augment the family income. More importantly, this would provide enough time to regain your health as it usually takes two to three years to fully recover following a delivery. During this time, you can regain your strength and be treated for previous and concurrent illness or diseases. Because you are healthy, you can make sure your babies are healthy, too. So, childbirth spacing is essential.
New Mom, don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it, from friends, family, support groups or a professional. It will be better for you and your child.
If you need a break, take some time out with your partner or a friend.
Get some exercise. Even 10 minutes a day will help.
Let yourself fall in love with your baby, of course. Every baby needs someone who is madly in love with her.
If you can, sleep or rest when your baby does. Keep away from Facebook. It will just waste your time.
Prioritize household tasks. Let some of the low priority ones go for a while and, when possible, delegate some to others.
Go with the flow in the journey of being a mommy. It's hard but don't let it control your head. Forget schedules and efficiency. Your baby is generally not predictable and you can’t work on the rest of the world’s timetable when you have got a new born.
Enjoy your baby today, don’t wish these early months away.
Give yourself time to adjust. Nobody knows how to do everything for her baby overnight.
Remember the newborn phase is short. Don’t draw conclusions based on this brief period. Eventually, you would get a full night’s sleep again.
