Posted by Pastor on November 6th, 2008 When you are dealing with your toddlers you must be very careful about the stuff you give in their hands. Parenting can be very demanding at this stage. It is not only required for child education but also when you are playing with them.
Toddlers are unaware of the things that can harm them. They try to touch and feel every thing around them, and most of the time put things in their mouth which are given in their hands. There are some key points to consider avoiding any accident. If there are any sharp objects at home keep them either at high places or at places which are away from the reach of children. Try to avoid glass material things. Always have an eye on your toddler especially when he is near the stairs. Keep the favorite stuff of your kid in their reach. Don’t give any wear and tear things to avoid any harmful accident. Don’t leave the electric appliances unattended and put some barrios on the switches in the house. Don’t have any broken things of plastic bags at home which can be swallowed by your toddler.
Don’t use very slippery tiles in the bath room or floors as they make chances of getting slipped more high. Be careful when you are dealing with your toddler and do proper arrangements for their safety. As prevention is better then cure. As you toddler has no sense of what can be harmful for them so they need proper guidance at all the times.
Posted by Pastor on September 26th, 2008 There are plenty traditional tales related to the child development. Of all these parenting resources five most common and most popular myths are laid below.
1. Child should eat everything on the plate. It was common practice in the past that your child should eat everything on the plate. But nowadays there are increasing cases of obesity regarding people of all ages. One should teach children to eat up to a certain level from the young age itself.
2. Green fluid running out of nose indicative of bacterial infection. In case your child is suffering from such infection for more than a week then a visit to doctor is recommended. Though many infections causing green and yellow mucus, do not have a cure and need to go away on their own.
3. A fever will leave as it comes. There are parents who do not tend to rely on fever-counter-pills. Fever makes a person glum and dismal and doctor should be consulted for medication.
4. Children are supposed to take daily dose of vitamins. One should always consult a doctor before making vitamins available to his child as most of the child’s diet is fortified with important vitamins. If a child’s diet is balanced and healthy, he may not require vitamins.
5. Feeding babies with cereal will keep them asleep through out the night. Sleep has nothing to do with cereals. A wet cloth, discomfort and sounds can wake your child up. One should try different sleeping schedules for his child.
