You Can't Spoil A Child Through Love

Although we all worry about spoiling our children, be confident that you cannot spoil your child with love. Love doesn't spoil children.

Love is imperative to a child's healthy development, and it's just not possible to love your child too much. They need caring adults to spend time with them, play with them, teach them, protect them, and enjoy life with them.

It's a parent's job to provide love, safety and encouragement. The process of growing up provides children with lots of challenges. Try to listen openly and understand their situation and communicate honestly with them when they have difficulties and letdowns in their life.

Set appropriate limits with your child and then adhere to them. Establishing limits with your child gives them a sense of safety and security.  Sometimes parents do not set limits because they don't want to fight with their children. They don't want to cause bad feelings. They may beg a child to comply. Or they may make a rule and fail to enforce it. They may nag without ever enforcing the rules. None of these helps children.

When your child fails to adhere or comply with the boundaries you've set for them, be firm yet kind in your response. This lets them know that you're serious about the rule but dedicated to helping and loving them.

Bear in mind though that each child is different and what works for one child may not work for another. For example, one child may respond well to the direct approach of telling them a specific time to be home, whereas another child may need a gentle reminder that it's now time to come home. 

Develop a firm but kind manner of making and enforcing your household's rules and expectations.  There's no need to fear our children, and there should be no need to instill a sense of fear in our children in order to get them to comply. 

Mums, It Is Wrong To Walk The Floor With Baby Every Time He Cries!

 When couples get married and kids come, it is always the desire of the woman to be able to nurse her baby the best possible way to ensure the well-being of the child.

But it requires mastering your child’s general habits to ensure a balanced development. From the mother’s diet, to the care of her breast, and the methods of weaning all significantly enhances the ability of the mother to effectively nurse her child, which leads to true bonding between mother and child.

One wrong habit that is indulged by mothers is that of walking the floor with baby every time he or she cries. This is wrong! And like all bad habits, it is difficult to break away from.

Every healthy baby should cry for half an hour each day. Nature demands this as an essential exercise. Muscular movements involving a greater part of the whole body accompany the act of crying.

It is significant to note again that, when baby wants something, or is uncomfortable, he or she employs the language nature gave to him - he cries.

 No child ever cried to be walked up and down the floor in the dead of the night.

Firstly find out why he is crying. Go to the foundation, the first few days when your baby first cried. What did you noticed? Offer him a little water if it is not feeding time.

Examine his diaper and if soiled change it.  The baby may be overdressed and consequently hot, perspiring, and uncomfortable. Change his position.

Find out if any pin is open and hurting him. Loosen the binder so he can breathe easily. If he is a colicky child, follow the instructions given in the treatment of colic.

Be patient the first few nights, and be thorough, because you may discover why your baby cries and each discovery will help you next time.

If you discover something wrong, some reasonable excuse for the crying, does it not prove the folly of walking the floor? If the infant wants a drink of water, or if his diaper is wet, how is walking the floor going to cure it, or how can you expect the baby to stop crying when you so unjustly interpret his only reasonable way of asking a favor?

If walking the floor stops the infant from crying, it stops him by exhausting the child, not by relieving him of his little ailment.

Hobbling, Rocking Or Shaking The Baby

This is another habit that should be frowned upon. So many persons are addicted to this form of baby torture. More immediate harm can result from it.

Be particularly careful not to indulge in it or permit anyone else to do it immediately after feeding. If you form the habit of putting baby down at once after each feeding, as you have been instructed to do, the opportunity to jolt him will not exist.

A little reasoning will clearly convince you that to subject a baby to violent exercise when its stomach is full would interrupt digestion and so shake the full stomach. This will cause the stomach to swell up and cause indigestion.

You would not think of exercising yourself after a meal; why exercise a baby?

Once again, it is important to note once more that, when baby wants something, or is itchy, he has just one language bestowed by nature - he cries.
