When my mom finally decided to take that plum posting as a Divisional
Head, I knew I was in trouble. Her office hours stretched way beyond my
school hours. And anyway, I was privy to the many discussions my parents
had about ‘Honey, what do we do with the kids?’ Well, finally they struck
gold – an educational after school program. Won’t that be just grand? Kids
are learning new things while parents are happily minting greenbacks!

And so, we went directly to another class after our school. The brochure
said that they would be ‘using fun activities and innovative teaching
methods to fill the gap in your child’s understanding’. I suppose they
meant that the teacher would write down the homework and we were to copy
it. At least, this is what happened most of the time. Of course, we didn’t
tell our parents. How would that help? They’d simply get smart and shift us to a class that would actually make us solve our homework.

I hated the classes. Mostly, I was bored to tears or falling asleep.
After so many hours at school who’d want to spend the entire afternoon
with the same books? But, as a child, one had little choice in these
matters. Especially when one’s parents were cleverly telling one that
mommy’s salary will help get us that spanking new TV or that video game.
Lose some, win some!

Then, one day, my sister decided to rock the proverbial boat. She decided
she had enough of studying and refused to go to the after school program.
That’s when my parents began to smell something stale. Shortly after that,
they put us in a better program (o, yes, another educational one). This
was bigger, brighter and somehow more fun. We had some interesting games,
and a COMPUTER too. Each of us got a chance to do something on the PC
(this, when PCs were just beginning to make their presence felt). We
somehow managed to blaze through our homework, most of which had to be
done by us. Then it was time to have fun. We had a little bit of
everything. Acting classes, speech, games and of course painting. Those
hours we spent splashing color on pages and laughing at silly jokes were
really the highlight of an otherwise boring day. Ironically, I began
looking forward to my after school program.

Now, so many years afterward, when I need to take up a job and leave my
own child alone till I get back, I know how important these after school
programs have become. Talk about history repeating itself! I just hope I’d
get her into a good one, and yes, it’s going to be educational too.

Take the Bite out of your Toddler’s Biting Problem
The majority of toddlers engage in some biting between their first and third birthdays. Probably the most common reason is that it is one of the few ways of communicating that’s effective for them, before verbal skills are developed. However, not all children bite. Some choose other forms of communication, such as grabbing, shoving, or punching.
Another reason toddlers bite is to express frustration, a feeling which is very common with toddlers, because both their communication skills and their motor skills are so limited.
To a young toddler it can be funny to see mommy suddenly bolt upright or for a playmate to start crying. Toddlers may also bite because they’re teething or because they put everything in their mouths anyway, so why not someone’s arm? It could even be something as simple as hunger.
But how do you teach your child not to bite? Make it perfectly clear that the biting is hurtful and wrong and point out to your child how much pain their biting has caused. Express that biting is wrong and unacceptable and that neither mommy or daddy like it.
If you discover that your child is biting out of frustration, try giving them an alternative to express to people they are having a difficult time. Though language is a difficult task at this age, most toddlers can be taught words that are appropriate for such a situation. For instance, “You need to tell mommy or daddy that you need help and not bite us,” or “Show mommy what you need, but don’t bite. You’ll hurt her if you bite and I know you don’t want to hurt mommy, do you?”
Experts agree that parents should try not to give biting so much attention that it becomes an attention-getter. This is true of all behavior that you don’t want to see repeated. Firmly tell the child again that there is no biting allowed, that it is wrong, and that it hurts people.

We make such a big deal out of when a baby takes his first steps. In fact, the age at which your child took his first steps will be ingrained in your Mommy memory forever, just like your childs birth weight and time. Personally, I think walking is a bit overrated, since you cant manage to keep them out of trouble ever again once they start, but here are some things you might want to know, anyway.

For some reason, everyone seems to think that a baby should be walking by his first birthday, but the fact is that most babies dont walk until after this time. There are a few who walk as early as nine months of age, but a great many who dont take their first steps until fifteen months. And, if your child is a late walker, it has absolutely no bearing on his intelligence.

The age at which a baby walks is often genetic. Walking very early or very late often runs in the family. My husband walked at nine months, and I walked at ten months, so we were unlucky enough to have a daughter who also walked at ten months. She was very petite, so she looked like the worlds tiniest walking human. She also scaled the kitchen counters before she was a year old, so you can see what I mean by unlucky.

When your baby walks is also often related to his size. Babies with short legs usually walk sooner than those with long legs (a balance issue) and thinner babies usually walk sooner than their more plump counterparts.

Pushing your baby to walk is not a good idea, but providing him the opportunity to learn is critical. If you force your child to endure daily practice sessions, he may just rebel and refuse to walk for quite a while. On the other hand, if you keep him in swing or playpen all day, hell never have the opportunity to try out his skills. Give him some supervised time on the floor, and hell figure the rest out with or without your help.

If, by chance, your child is not walking by the age of eighteen months, it is best to have him checked out by a doctor. There is not necessarily anything wrong, but most babies are walking by this age, so have him examined as a precaution. But, dont be too eager, because once he starts walking, all the rules change. Someone, though I dont remember who, once said, – We spend the first two years of our childrens lives teaching them to walk and talk, and then the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up. Its so true.

Q. How often should I nurse a newborn infant?

A. No fewer than 8 times per day, depending on how long he gives you at night. If he can go 4 hours, youll probably see two feedings in between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. If you tank him up right before you go to bed, you may only have one.

Q. How often should I nurse an older baby?

A. Depending on your childs age, you should be on a 3-4 hour routine during the day. Remember, as your child gets older, the frequency of nursing sessions will drop off, but he will be eating more at each session. If you are committed to nursing past 6 months of age, its not recommended that you drop below 5 feedings per day. If you believe your milk supply is waning and you dont want to stop breastfeeding, add a feeding or two to your daily routine in order to increase your milk supply

Q. How do I drop a feeding as my baby grows?

A. The most common changes are moms who want to switch from a 3 to a 3.5 hour routine or a 3.5 to a 4 hour routine, babies who are ready to drop their middle of the night feeding, or parents who are ready to stop the late-night feeding.

Most often youll know when your baby is ready to switch by a change in his sleep patterns. A baby on a 3 hour routine typically takes 3 naps per day (morning, afternoon, late afternoon) and the switchover to a 3.5 hour routine will see a shortening of one of those naps or the dropping of the last nap of the day. Babies are generally ready for this switch by about 12 weeks of age.

Dropping the middle of the night feeding is most often accomplished by the baby himself between 7-14 weeks of age. Youll know your baby is ready when he doesnt wake you up until 6:00 a.m. or so, and youll probably wake in a panic that morning, realizing you werent beckoned in the middle of the night. He will require more food during the day from this point on, and your breasts will likely be overly full for several days, but its all good!

Stopping the late night feeding is typically the trickiest to do. Many parents are reluctant to drop it, thinking that if they do, their baby will wake in the middle of the night, starving. If you think he cannot drop the feeding completely, back it up in 15-minute increments until you arrive at your desired time. If his last two feedings of the day are closer than your flexible schedule says it should be, dont worry. Its a temporary fix, and thats what flexibility is all about. The routine serves you, not the other way around!

Lactation difficulties are not completely prevented by using PDF; you are rested and eating properly, your baby is getting enough food and growing, and your life is relatively predictable. So you might think that youre immune from production issues, right? There are many more factors which play in to milk production that just the ones I listed.

Factors that can affect milk supply include:

 Amount of sleep a mother receives
 Moms diet & nutrition
 Her state of mind
 Mothers age
 Whether this is her first child or sixth
 Moms desire to breastfeed
 Her capacity to nurse
 A mothers nursing techniques
 Her babys ability to properly latch on

If youre nursing, keeping tabs on your babys growth is incredibly importantyour babys life depends on it. How will you know if hes getting enough milk or nutrition? Unfortunately, the breast tissue isnt transparent and we cannot see exactly how much milk your baby is drinking or your body is producing. Fortunately, there are other ways to achieve our goal.

In the first week of life, your baby will receive colostrum before your milk comes in. Not only is this rich in antibodies and helps your babys immune system develop, but it helps him pass his first stoolmeconium. This is a black, tarry substance and will be in the first diaper or two after birth. He will transition to a brown substance and then as your milk comes in, to a mustard yellow stool that is watery or loose. A bottle-fed baby will pass stools that are firmer and more clay-coloured than a breastfed baby.

Within 24-48 hours, your baby should start having wet diapers, increasing to two or three per day.

As your baby works at sucking colostrum and then milk, you should hear a pattern of suck, suck, suck, swallow. This will be rhythmic and there will be no clicking noisesclicking indicates that your baby is improperly latched and potentially isnt getting a good amount of milk from you. If you hear this, unlatch him from your breast and re-attach him. If it continues, talk to your pediatrician.

In the second and subsequent weeks of life, you should also notice 6-8 wet diapers a day in addition to at least 3 stools per day. His urine should be clear (not yellow), and he should be gaining alertness as each day passes. He should also be growing and gaining weightweight gain is the surest sign of healthy growth. Any two days in a row of deviation from the growth indicators listed should be reported to your pediatrician immediately.

A few guests can get together and get a big laundry basket. Place in it a long clothes line with outfits, diapers, bibs, etc. pinned to it. It can also be used as a room decoration. It has a bit of everything and something to carry it in!
Baby Quilt – here is a great gift from those that love to sew and quilt. Find an alphabet quilt pattern. Each square has a letter of the alphabet on it and a picture of an object that started with that letter. It can have numbers too. Each guest can be given/sent a square before the shower and can embroider, quilt, or embellish it according to her own taste. If the quilt is meant to be a wall hanging, guests can also attach little items like rattles and toys. Be sure that everyone signs their own block in some way and have the blocks returned by a certain date in order to have it put together. This can also be used as a decoration at the shower.
Make a scrapbook album. Take blank scrapbook pages and have everyone write down their well wishes (without Mom knowing it) for the new baby. This can be done at or before the shower and can be given at the shower or to Mom while she is in the hospital. If given after the shower, it can include photos taken there.
Pass out sheets of heavy paper decorated with baby related stamps, stickers, or pictures several lines drawn on. Have the guests write their name on the paper and then write down some baby/parenting advice. Once everyone is finished, collect them, add a cover, punch holes in it, and tie it together with some ribbon. Then hand it to Mom to read aloud. This will be entertaining as well as touching and is a nice keepsake. There is tons of room for creativity on this one.
Have each guest bring an extra gift (small item recommended) for Daddy-to-be and the host of the shower will then place them in large gift bag to present to him at the close of the party (usually after the main gifts are opened). He opens this with Mommy-to-be at home or in presence of close family or friends.
Diaper Shower— For a second (or more) baby, consider a diaper shower. Ask each guest to bring only a package of diapers as a gift. Some guests may bring other gifts also, but Mom will end up with a mountain of diapers, something she will really need! Items could also include anything associated with diapering such as wipes, ointment, powder, etc.
Casserole Shower— For the mother who has everything already, how about a Casserole Shower? Have each guest bring a casserole or other ready-to-cook meal that can be frozen or stored until after the baby is born. Be sure to have the containers clearly labeled with contents and any cooking instructions. How helpful that will be when Mom and Baby come home!
Book Party— Have each guest purchase and give a copy of their favorite childhood book.

Im One Year Old and Thank Goodness for Sign Language

Hello! Im one year old and I have just seen a beautiful car go by. Let me tell you how interesting I find this car. I will sign to you the sign language sign for CAR with a big grin on my face. That way, Ill be able to share this exciting discovery with you a noisy car just went by how exciting!

Oh whats Mommy saying and signing now? Its a RED CAR. How cool. RED. If Mommy shows me that new sign RED a few more times, I think Ill be able to use it whenever I want. Weve just been playing the sign language software at www.KiddiesSigns.com. So many interesting words there that I can use in my meaningful conversations with my Mommy.

When Mommy first heard about the activity of hearing parents signing with their hearing kids, she thought that it would delay my speech. She loved the idea of being able to communicate with me in sign language long before such communication would ever be possible with verbal speech. However, she did not want the joy of early, meaningful communication to come at the cost of delayed verbal speech. Then she read the research and instructions in the books Baby Signs by Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn and Sign With Your Baby by Joseph Garcia. These researchers showed that using sign language with hearing infants actually accelerates verbal speech development.

I suppose that when you think about it, it makes sense. My brain is just exploding with growth and development at the moment. The more I learn, the more I can learn. Ive been trying out my verbal apparatus for a while now, but it is not yet ready for the fine-tuned use necessary for verbal speech language. However, my hands are ready for sign language, and are able to actually engage in meaningful communication using sign language. Well, Im sure this just turbo charges the development of the human language part of my brain. Its a part of the brain that scientific research has shown to be activated whether verbal language or sign language is being used. No wonder that my group of signing babies will be speaking verbally ahead of any group of non-signing babies.

Hee hee! I just closed a door. Its very clever of me to do that. Let me tell you about it. I will sign to you the sign language sign that means CLOSE A DOOR. Who cares about those theoretical aspects of signing with babies. This is just so much fun to do. I love doing what I can do. I learn new things and new skills every day. And I just love being able to talk about them with Mommy in sign language. I have been flapping my arms and legs around in order to express myself ever since I was born. Sign language is so natural for me.

My older siblings find sign language fun too. Whenever Im sitting down watching fun, musical sign language videos that have been produced especially for me, I find that my older brothers and sisters join me. They find it fun to use not just another language, but a language in another mode, in the visual-spatial channel. This must be the ultimate when it comes to being bilingual. It feels like a secret, magical language to them.

We sit and watch videos made especially for hearing babies and children, to teach us sign language, from www.SigningTime.com, www.BabySeeNSign.com, www.MyBabyCanTalk.com and www.SigningSmart.com.

My Mommy is delighted that my older siblings are interested in using sign language. She has read the results of extensive research done by Marilyn Daniels, in her book Dancing With Words. She found that sign language has the power to significantly improve the reading and writing literacy skills of school age children.

Mommy and Daddy sometimes join us watching the signing videos. Sign language is the language of Deaf people, but my Mommy and Daddy are not deaf. So watching videos is an easy way for them to learn new signs to use with me.

Of course, my siblings and I remember sign language signs faster than our parents. Our brains are wired to pick up languages the way a sponge soaks up water. However, in spite of having old brains, my parents find that they can easily pick up sign language signs too. My Mommy is also learning new signs and how to use signs with me by reading a book on baby signing. Im not reading those books. Im too busy now. I have to go and close the rest of the doors in the house. Later, we might go to a baby signing class with other Mommies and small kids.

Well, its been great all this playing and communicating today, but Im getting tired and hungry now. Thank goodness I can tell my Mommy in sign language that I want MILK and a COOKIE. After that, I want my TEDDY BEAR, in case I fall asleep, even though I will try not to fall asleep. Imagine if I didnt have sign language to communicate these things I want. Id have to sit there and cry a lot until these things magically appeared. I could go to the fridge door and cry, but my Mommy might give me some juice instead of the milk I want. When I want something, I have no patience to wait, you know. No wonder researchers have found that signing infants have less tantrums and more contentedness and confidence.

I try to say words verbally too, but Mommy doesnt seem to be able to understand my clearly articulated verbal communication. I think that she will develop better verbal comprehension skills when she gets older. For now, Mommy is delighted to be able to use sign language in order to better understand us little people.

My Grandmother is so impressed with this signing stuff. She wonders how hearing people ever used to parent without it. She wants to start signing with me too. Mommy is explaining to her that she can go to www.KiddiesSigns.com on the Internet. Within a few minutes, she can be in front of a fun, interactive, signing software from www.KiddiesSigns.com, with me on her lap. Together, we can learn and practice new, useful signs.

Thank goodness for sign language. During those frustrating years when my parents’ verbal comprehension skills are not so good, it allows me to communicate with my parents. I just love them knowing what’s on my mind!

For a brand new mommy, or even a seasoned one, dealing with a colicky baby can be overwhelming. The constant crying is heartbreaking and nerve wracking, and leaves you with a sense of helplessness. But dont lose heart; the only good thing I can tell you about colic is that its temporary. Here are a few ideas to keep you going.

First Be sure its really colic. If you havent had the little one checked out by a doctor, do so. Sometimes whats written off as colic is really a milk allergy or some other true gastric disorder, like acid reflux. If the baby is on formula, you should ask if making a change in brand might help.

Secondly, get help! If you have to deal with the colicky symptoms all by yourself every day, youre bound to go nuts. Swap off with your spouse, another family member or a friend. My daughter had colic for the two longest weeks of my life, and it began every evening around 5:00pm. My husband and I took turns making dinner and eating with our other children while the other took care of the baby. It kept each of us somewhat sane to have a normal evening every other night, plus our other children didnt feel so neglected.

Next, try some of those tricks everybody tells you about. A lot of them really do work! Take the baby for a drive (this worked wonders with my daughter). Vacuum, play music or sit with the baby on the washing machine during the spin cycle! Try to take the babys mind off her misery. For some babies a warm bath and a rock in the rocking chair is helpful. I dont personally recommend the crying it out method for colic. Your baby is truly in pain and needs comfort during this time, and letting her cry for a long time will probably only escalate the situation. Mylicon Drops, an over the counter gas medication, might relieve symptoms on some babies. Its perfectly safe, so its definitely worth a try. Otherwise, dont medicate unless its something your doctor has told you to use. Ive heard of moms giving the baby something to make them sleep. This is terribly unsafe.

Finally, if the colicky symptoms havent subsided within a few weeks, make a return trip to the doctor, just to be sure nothing has changed. Colic is a temporary condition, so just bear with it and look forward to better times.

Responsible behavior doesnt come naturally; it is a learned trait. It is important for parents to teach their children responsible behavior at an early age; a healthy respect for the feelings of others, and a strong sense of right and wrong.

Combined with setting a good example and involvement in a young childs development of social skills, spend quality time with your child and instruct them about proper, responsible behavior. It can go a long way in helping to correct behavior problems that could lead to serious consequences down the road.

Everyday experiences are a parents best tool when it comes to teaching responsible behavior. Because this type behavior is a learned trait, it can become habit through repetitiveness.

Parents can effectively teach children with both words and deeds. Parents can always tell a child to respect others, and they may or may not comply in any given situation. But, when a parent consistently shows respect for others opinions, feelings, and possessions, they teach their children to do the same.

Actions + Words = Effective Training Methods

Our daily actions, attitudes, and social skills speak louder and much more effectively than words. As children watch what we do and ask questions, a golden opportunity is presented to teach valuable life-lessons.

Mommy, why did you let that old lady skip in front of us?

Because she looked uncomfortable, and seemed to be in a hurry.

By exhibiting responsible, considerate behavior toward others, children learn from our actions. As we encourage questions and answer in ways that explain why we did something, children better understand and become more conscientious of other peoples needs instead of just their own.

Story TimeA Golden Opportunity to Teach Responsibility

Another good method for teaching children responsible behavior is with the use of stories. Most children are enthusiastic when it comes to having someone read them a story. Select books that teach life-lessons, and then discuss what was read. Encourage the child to ask questions, seeking the opportunity to emphasize good character traits, and the awareness that all actions good or bad will have consequences.

Every Day Presents Opportunities of Its Own

Consistency and application are keys when teaching small children about responsible behavior. Spend time with your child regularly. Encourage them to tell you about their day and things that happened; what they thought or felt, what they saw or heard, what they did or wanted to do. Use every opportunity to stimulate thoughts of awareness.

Put emphasis on positive feelings, emotions, and qualities such as bravery, thoughtfulness, compassion, honesty, kindness, etc. Help your children identify these traits in persons they know, characters they see on television, or people they read about. Help them to identify and cultivate these qualities in themselves. At the end of each day, ask, How were you honest today? or Tell me two ways you were considerate to someone else today.

Show Children How to Handle Negative Feelings Responsibly

Also help children explore acceptable ways to effectively deal with negative feelings such as anger, hurt, resentment, loneliness, etc. If a child expresses feelings of anger toward someone, avoid the urge to say that anger is wrong; instead, explore their feelings of anger with them.

Ask why they were angry, or ask them to tell you how angry they were. Help them understand that while it is natural to feel angry at times, how we express that anger is very important. There are acceptable ways to express anger, as well as unacceptable ways.

Tell them a story or cite an example of someone who experienced a particular negative feeling, then ask your child questions like, What should Becky have done when she got angry? or, Why do you think Eric was lonely? What could he have done about it?

Helping a child to understand the feelings of others as well as their own, and appropriate ways to express those feelings, are big strides toward learning responsible behavior.

By spending time with your child on a regular basis and teaching through example and discussion, you equip your child with good socialization skills, and cultivate responsible behaviors sure to benefit them and others around them for a lifetime.

Though a theme isnt necessary for a successful baby shower, it can be a great way to pull a baby shower together. Unsure of what games you should play? Cant choose between different food spreads? Pick a baby shower theme and all of these aspects of the baby shower will become clear. Here are just a few to choose from.

Hollywood Themed Baby Shower

Your invitations can look like movie tickets. Your games can focus on celebrity and movie trivia. You can even ask your guests to dress up as movie stars, if you like! And of course, hot dogs and popcorn are one choice for your guests or you could go the opposite direction with fare that a healthy minded Hollywood mom would love.

Tea Time Baby Shower

If youre having a girls only baby shower, a fun way to celebrate the new little one is to host an afternoon tea. Decorations need be no more than what your living room already holds or you may opt for a tea house instead. Food can include finger sandwiches, scones, jam, and of course, a variety of tea for each of your guests to choose from. Accentuating the Victorian aspect of a traditional tea is another option as is heading to the other side of the world for a traditional Japanese tea theme for your baby shower.

Stock The Shelves Baby Shower

All new moms will need baby food, diapers, wipes, bath supplies, formula or bottles and lots of them. Pick one of these as your theme and ask everyone to bring one as their gift or, if its a small item, in addition to their gift to the baby shower. Make sure to specify brand or style if the new mom has a preference, especially with formula. If you choose diapers, designate different guests to bring different sizes. The little one wont be little for long!

Time To Take Care of Mommy Baby Shower

The last thing a new mother wants to do is worry about the basics after she brings home her newborn. Ask everyone to bring something to the baby shower that will help Mom in the tough weeks following the birth. Some ideas include: frozen casseroles, gift certificates for maid services or offering of your own cleaning or babysitting services. Mom wont feel like socializing, nor will she likely be comfortable giving up her new addition for a whole night out, but if you come over regularly so that she can shower and nap – that is a gift worth more than gold.
