Show you love them

Talk, sing, play, and read with your child every day.

• Talk and sing with your child, as this is a first step in language development.
• Understand that singing and listening to music is good for your child’s development.
• Provide a safe place for your baby or toddler to roll, crawl, and explore. If possible, “child-proof” the entire home.
• Sit and play on the floor with your child daily, knowing that children learn through play with simple toys and household items such as pots, pans, bowls, and wooden spoons.
• Recognize that daily supervised outdoor play, including running, climbing, swinging and sliding helps children develop strong bodies and minds.
• Realize that when you and your child play “pretend” together, she is learning to use her imagination and understand her world.
• Spend time each day reading to your young child, watching for her cues to continue or quit.
• Look at books, talk about the pictures and the story; this will teach language and new words.
• Try different voices for the characters in a book and encourage your child to act out the story.
• Play rhyming games, recite nursery rhymes and do fingerplays to help your child notice the sounds of words.
• Help your child notice words and other print in the world around you.
• Understand that sharing a favorite book with a caring adult can provide comfort to a child, as well as a love of books and reading.
• Limit TV watching and when you allow your child to watch, sit with him and talk about what you see, remembering that young children should not watch the news or adult programs.
• Get a free library card so that you can visit the library often and check out a variety of books.
  

Make sure your children know they are loved!

• Show love with hugs, smiles, kisses, talking and looking directly into your baby’s eyes.
• Remember that your baby cries to communicate with you.
• Understand that giving attention to a baby is not spoiling; when you respond to your baby’s cries and coos consistently, his learning is stimulated and he develops trust.
• Talk to your baby even before she seems to be able to understand what you are saying, and she will soon talk back to you.
• Imitate his coos and sounds; diaper changing, feeding, bathing and dressing are good times for you to talk with your young child.
• Say your child’s name in a cheerful, caring voice.
  Really listen when your child talks to you.
• Avoid calling your child names when discussing her behavior.
• Encourage and support your child by showing appreciation for his accomplishments.
• Improve your child’s self-esteem by teaching her how she can help others.
• Say “yes” and “I love you” more often than you say “no” or “don’t”.
• Make sure that your child has regular health exams and receives all appropriate immunizations (shots).
• Seek help from specialists if you have concerns about your child’s development or need extra help during times of family stress.

Demonstrate in ways she can understand that she is unique and special to you.

Simple Tips on how to discipline a child,

Children
Learn What They Live
If a child lives with criticism,
he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule,
he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,
he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,
he learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,
he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
By Dorothy Law Nolte

As a parent sometimes it's really difficult for us to dicipline a child. We ask our selves sometimes if we do the right thing. Many of us do it without thinking, we must control our emotions coz if not we may regret it in the end. Parents are the role model for our children, they observe us and immitate what we do, so be careful of doing anything.... We love our children isn't it? So we must dicipline them with love, don't ignore them, give time for them even little of your time were really appriciated so much. Sometimes we parents does not show our love to our children try to say their no harm in doing it. I have simple tips here for us parents on how we dicipline our children.

• Remain calm and discipline with love and consistency.
• Understand that discipline should teach, not punish; it is setting limits with both firmness and kindness.
• Show respect for your child so that he will learn respect for others.
• Learn about stages of child development so that you will know what behavior you can expect at different ages.
• Prepare your child for new situations, so that he will know what you expect and feel confident and secure.
• Create dependable, predictable routines for your child.
• Encourage exploration and curiosity in safe surroundings.
• Remember that infants and toddlers test limits because of their curiosity and eagerness to learn, not to make you angry.
• Distract and redirect your child’s attention when his behavior is unacceptable.
• Encourage positive behavior by using positive guidance techniques.
• If necessary, short time outs (no longer than 1 minute per year of the age of the child) can help you and your child regain self-control.
• Remember that spanking, hitting or shouting may stop behavior immediately but may teach that violence is the way to settle issues.

Valentines Day!
I was with my husband an hour ago. We decided to celebrate our valentines day by going to church and renewing our "vows". Theirs a mass and many couple are also there like us renewing our Vows and also thanking our creator for all those years that we spent together. I was really happy that there are gathering like that for married couple to be united once again infront of the altar reminising all that we've been thru all these years. I almost cry on thanking God for giving me such a wonderful husband nothing to ask for more but all I want for that moment is to thank him for all the blessing that he showered me. I did'nt say that it was a perfect marriage but I am happy for what is going on with us, in our relationship not only as couple but also as friends.... This is the first time I experience this and my friend who invited me to go their said that this is only done the 2nd time it was last year that they started celebrating this occassion. Wonderful is'nt it ....
