When does a baby start walking?

Posted on 29/10/2021 - 17:48 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

The first steps of our children is one of the most exciting stages. He is growing! It is seems that before this moment, you have had many doubts and even wondered when your baby will start to walk and if he is “on time”.

When does a baby start to walk?

Walking is a process that involves learning and body maturation. There isn’t a set time. Doctors say that babies can walk around 9 to 16 months. The range is high because each girl or boy is unique and has his own rhythm.

It is a milestone in development, so it is not punctual. It does not have a specific time, it must go through some phases that indicate that he is ready. “Babies are born, then they control their head first, followed by their hands, hips, knees and feet. This is how the human body matures. They usually walk between the ninth and sixteenth month. Some babies do not crawl, they just start walking, but most do crawl and it is better if they do so”, said Dr. Rebeca Huerta, a pediatrician from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

Is it better to walk early?

According to the specialist, whether a baby walks sooner or later is irrelevant, “He will start walking when he is ready. There are times when babies feel safe crawling and they take their time before walking because they get everywhere crawling. When the requirement to walk is imposed, they will begin to take their first steps”.

Should I be concerned if my baby is not walking yet?

If your baby is around 10, 11, or 16 months old, you shouldn’t worry if he still isn’t walking. After that time, it is important to be evaluated and tested by a doctor.

“A lot of moms and dads get stressed because they compare their kids to other kids. They say, ‘Jane’s baby’ is already walking or ‘her cousins’ are already walking, but they must remember that it is an individual process”, adds Huerta.

There are parents who even wonder if there is a way to help a baby walk earlier, but as parents we should not restrict any phase of his development. We are facing a process of maturity, if you try to speed it up, you can affect your baby.

We recommend: Pierce or not earrings on a newborn baby

Can I use a walker?

For Huerta, the use of walkers and harnesses makes no sense because a healthy baby will walk, at some point.

In addition, these devices have shown to be unsafe. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends not to use them because they inhibit crawling and can cause accidents.

“We have received children in the emergency room because they fall down the stairs, trip over a piece of furniture and something falls on them; they take sharp or pointed objects and insert them into the sockets. It is true that there are also risks when they crawl, but with the walker accidents happen more easily”.

The importance of free movement

In recent years, a theory called “Free Movement” has resurfaced with force. It was described by Emmi Pikler in 1969 and speaks of the importance of respecting the autonomy of girls and boys in their learning process.

In this sense, we parents only ensure the right environment to our children.

The Pikler Theory defends that we should let babies move freely, that is, they are not forced, placed in any position or artificial methods to help them. We have to rely on the innate ability of babies to reach the evolutionary motor milestone.

If we try to speed up our child’s walking process, we will be making a mistake, because we run the risk that he misses crucial moments that will make him more skillful in the future.

How do I know my baby is ready to walk?

You’ll notice right away.

Your baby won’t stop moving, he slips from your arms or lap and if she is sitting she will try to stand up.
You notice that her pelvic girdle is strong and he tries to get up on her own.
He looks for furniture or people to hold onto and seek support.

What should I do when my baby starts to walk?

Ideally, when your baby starts to crawl or walk, you would transform your house to avoid accidents:

Babyproof all outlets with plastic covers
Make space in your house. Remove tables and furniture with pointed corners to prevent tripping and hitting his head.
Watch out for loose wires. Remember that the baby is curious by nature and will try to pull them.
Remove objects on the floor to avoid tripping.
Watch him carefully, it is very easy for a baby to take dangerous objects and even medicines or products that can be dangerous.
Take him by the hand as many times as he wants to walk with your support and don’t let go until he feels safe.
Don’t forget to video record him. The first steps of your baby will be a very beautiful memory.

The walking stage is so much fun. Don’t force it, give time to your little one. If after 18 months your baby does not walk, it is important that you go to the doctor.

How to make face paint for children: easily and it does not irritate their skin

Posted on 28/10/2021 - 16:30 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

Bwahahaha. The terrifying days of Halloween and Day of the Dead are just around the corner. Your kids are ready to demand their spooky costume and makeup. The problem is that commercial fantasy face paints dry out the skin, so we came up with a homemade recipe to make your own paint face for children, suitable for their sensitive little faces.

Face paint for Halloween and Day of the Dead

Recipe to make the base:

Use a thick face cream, baby chafing cream, or lassar’s paste.
Mix with one or two teaspoons of talcum powder or corn flour (cornstarch).
Add natural food coloring, the colors you will need.
Stir well. If it’s too thick, you can add a little water.

If you don’t want to use artificial coloring, you can use natural ingredients to color it or just leave it white.

Orange: Use saffron (turmeric powder)
Pink or red: Beet (dilute with a little more cream to achieve the desired shade)
Green: Avocado or spinach juice.
Black: Activated Carbon
Purple: Cranberry or Blackberry Juice
Brown: Instant coffee

Let your paint sit for 5-10 minutes before applying it. Remember that its use is immediate, do not save it for another day because it does not contain preservatives and it rots. If you want a shiny look, apply a little baby oil, otherwise leave it matte.

How to make fake blood

Mix honey with red and blue food coloring.

Add a splash of milk to give it a whitish hue.

How to paint the face as if it were “dirty”.

Burn a cork and let it cool. Then use it to “blacken” the face.

Basic care before applying face paint

While natural ingredients are safe for most children, it’s always best to make sure they don’t cause allergies. Obviously, if you know that your little one has a reaction to a certain ingredient, do not use it, or try it a day before by putting a little paint on his hand and check that the skin does not become irritated.

The day you apply the paint, clean the face of your girl or boy. Apply a moisturizer first and do not let the child wear makeup for more than 6 hours.

When you remove it, use a make-up remover, let it sit for a few minutes to make it easier to remove. Do not scrub because it can irritate your little one’s skin. If he still has traces of paint, use a damp cloth.

The last step is to have fun. Bwahahaha!

Falling down during pregnancy

Posted on 19/10/2021 - 10:25 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

When we are expecting a baby, we avoid sudden movements and high-impact exercises to reduce the risk of bumps and falls during pregnancy. However, even if we take care of ourselves, accidents happen, so we must be attentive to the symptoms that could indicate that the fall, no matter how insignificant, can be risky for our little one.

Should I worry if I fall down during pregnancy?

Yvonne Butler Tobah, a Mayo Clinic physician, explains in her article, Fall during pregnancy, that falls are a common cause of minor injuries and, in some cases, can be harmful to the mother-to-be and her baby.

You have to take things calmly, be attentive to warning symptoms and call your gynecologist if you have any questions. Maybe it is nothing but the shock, as the human body is designed to protect the baby during pregnancy.

“The walls of the uterus are thick, strong muscles that help protect your baby. The amniotic fluid also works as a protection. During the first weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is located behind the pelvic bone. Minor falls during early pregnancy are not usually a cause for concern”.

“However, falls in the late second and early third trimesters could be harmful for both you and your baby, especially if there is direct trauma to the abdomen”, Butler explains in her text.

Signs of danger after a fall during pregnancy

Dr. Mercedes Álvarez Goris (Gynecologist Lucina), a specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics, explains the symptoms to which we must pay attention after a fall, as they are indicative that something is not right.

Contractions
Your tummy gets hard
Pain in the belly
If you suddenly don’t notice the baby’s movements. Especially in the second half of pregnancy if you don’t feel your baby for more than an hour.
Liquid discharge. Your water could have broken if you notice that abundant liquid comes out.
Vaginal bleeding

If you have any of these symptoms, seek urgent aid. If you do not perceive any change, but you have doubts, make an appointment with your doctor for a complete check-up and calm down.

Main reasons for falls during pregnancy

Throughout the pregnancy we must be cautious, but at the end we must be especially careful. For example:

When going up and down stairs, hold on to railings or ask someone for support
Put a non-slip mat in the shower
Avoid wearing heels
Stand up slowly to avoid dizziness
Try to walk safely, avoiding dangerous, uneven, inclined or slippery surfaces

Do not forget that your body axis of balance changes during this period.

“You increase your size, your spine curves, the belly grows and starts to pull you forward. In this period you are more prone to sudden falls and bumps. That is why, especially in the third trimester, it is recommended not to make movements that require a lot of balance or a lot of motor agility”, indicates the gynecologist Mercedes Álvarez.

Take it easy, you do not need to add extra stress. A visit to your doctor to rule out any danger will help you to be calmer.

Piercing ears on a newborn baby, yes or no?

Posted on 15/10/2021 - 17:12 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

For generations, piercing newborn girls’ ears has been seen as something natural. However, a few years from now, worldwide movements have arisen that call to avoid this practice. Should baby girls wear earrings or not?

The decision is yours, but let’s look at some pros and cons.

“Piercing girl’s ears is a very old tradition. Since the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans earrings were worn, even by men. They had a magical symbolic value, they were used as a talisman”, says Dr. Ana Elena Alba, a pediatrician who graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

In Latin America it is still very common to make babies wear earrings.

Some moms and dads consider that girls look prettier, others say that it is a way to differentiate them from boys; it is believed that when they are little they feel less pain and they say that the experience is not traumatic since they forget it quickly.

But the controversy is stronger than ever.

When are baby girls ears pierced?

According to Dr. Elena Alba, they are generally pierced one day after birth, in hospital nurseries. Anyway, it is also possible that the pediatrician or a nurse pierce them in the office.

“They are almost always pierced the next day after they are born and usually a nurse performs this procedure, although the pediatrician can also do it. They must be pierced by someone who knows how to do it and in hygienic conditions”, explains the expert.

Before placing the earring, it is important to clean the earlobe with alcohol and give a light massage, “a little topical anesthesia is applied, a marking is made so that it is as symmetrical as possible, and a small pistol is used where the sterilized earring is introduced. We press for a few seconds. It is very fast and the pain is practically zero because some anesthesia is used”.

Risks of earrings in newborns

Even though the procedure is very simple, the pediatrician points out that there are risks that, although they rarely happen, we must take them into account.

Infections

To avoid them, it is important to be very strict with hygiene and care the first days after placing the earrings.

It is recommended that every 12 hours, in the morning and at night, you should clean the front and back parts of the earrings using a swab and alcohol or some antibiotic ointment.

“You have to turn the earrings so that they do not stick to the ear. That is for the first 72 hours. Later, the daily bath is enough. It is recommended not to remove these earrings for up to eight weeks. If you need to make any changes to the earring, you will have to wait”.

Allergies

The metal of the earring can cause allergies. That is why it is suggested to use gold ones, as it is the material with the lowest risk.

“We suggest that earrings be 14 or 24 karat gold. It can be white or yellow. If gold earrings cannot be purchased, they can be gold-plated stainless steel. What is not recommended is that they are made of silver or faux ones”.

Ingrown and keloid earrings

Another risk is the ingrown earrings in the ear, especially if they are very small or if they are not changed as the baby grows, as well as the appearance of keloids. “It is very rare but it can be that they remain incarnated, even when the girls are older than 6 or 8 years of age.

In those cases you have to sedate the girl a little and remove them. There is also a risk of keloids, which is a response of the body to the piercing. Tissues are formed around the hole”.

Risk of tearing

Another contraindication could be that the earring tears and breaks the pinna. “Sometimes accidentally, the earring is pulled with something and rips the earlobe. That is why we recommend avoiding pending earrings. It is also preferable that they are screwed so that they do not loosen, fall and represent a risk of suffocation”.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) indicates that there is actually very little risk if the piercing is performed hygienically and thoroughly cared for.

However, the AAP also recommends waiting until the girl can take care of the piercing herself. In addition, the AAP suggests that the baby should have her basic vaccinations to reduce the risk of tetanus and blood-borne infections.

“DON’T PIERCE YOUR BABY’S EAR”: THE MOVEMENT AGAINST THE EARRINGS

Beyond the medical part, there are also voices that ask mothers and fathers to avoid this practice.

Anti-earring movement started in the UK and has spread across the world in recent years.

The controversy has been so great that in England a group of women collected thousands of signatures to ask the government to avoid and set a minimum age (they propose that it be seven years of age) to pierce the lobe of babies.

Argument:

The earrings have no other purpose than to satisfy the vanity of the parents, they have even rated it as child abuse.

THE ANTI EARRINGS LETTER

Through a letter posted on social media, members of the anti-earring movement explain that piercing carries a sexist charge:

“You decide to pierce an ear that is not yours, without knowledge, or consent, of the pierced person. You do it by saying that she is your daughter. As if that gives you some kind of right over her body”.

As if by giving her life, it gave you a kind of power over her.

“Why is it assumed that girls want to wear accessories to be ‘pretty’? Why boy earlobes aren’t also systematically pierced? So they “know” that she is a girl”.

“As if the fact that it is not seen with the naked eye that this would cause a trauma to the girl. As if it were logical that you would be ashamed that your daughter is mistaken for a boy”.

“There are macho customs and they are also disrespectful to our daughters. They are because only they have to decide where, when and with whom they want to get pierced. They are because we cannot dispose of other people in that way as if their will were not important”.

“Our daughters do not belong to us. They belong to themselves. And choosing something that is not necessary or essential for them is something violent. It is something that marks the type of relationships we establish with others”.

“This is not about an earring. It’s about respect. And our daughters deserve all the respect in the world. Because they are free. And free daughters set others free. Wait until your daughter can speak. So that she can be aware. For her to express her feelings about the world. And above all, don’t treat her like she’s stupid. As if she didn’t understand. Or she didn’t know”.

“Because your daughters don’t need condescension. They need you to ask them who they are. What do they want. What they don’t need at all. It is someone forcing them to do something. When they don’t know what’s going on”.

What do you think? Earrings, yes or no? Ultimately, the decision is yours.

Breastfeeding in public is a woman’s right

Posted on 14/10/2021 - 20:54 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

Breastfeeding is a right of girls, boys and lactating women. This is a basic activity recognized by the National Human Rights Commission. However, despite being a natural necessity, there are still many prejudices and loopholes.

How many times have moms been told that they have to cover up? How many times have mothers been requested to go to the bathroom so as not to bother others? How many more times have people asked women to leave? That is why the recognition of this right by the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic is of great importance.

A big step towards breastfeeding

The Plenary Session of the Senate of the Republic unanimously approved the minute sent by the Chamber of Deputies which considers it discriminatory to prohibit, limit or restrict the right of women to breastfeed in public spaces.

The project, endorsed with 92 votes and sent to the Federal Executive for publication in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF), adds a fraction to article 9 of the Federal Law to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination, in order to protect the right to the health of women who are in a breastfeeding process.

In this sense, it highlights that breastfeeding in public spaces has been a stigmatized act throughout history, violating the dignity of women and violating the rights of minors to nutritious, sufficient and quality food.

Against discrimination

With the reform approved to the Federal Law to Prevent and Eliminate Discrimination, there will be no prohibition, restrictions or limitation to breastfeed anywhere.

Thus, whoever tries to attack a woman who decides to breastfeed in a public space will be committing an illegality.

When presenting the opinion, the president of the Human Rights Commission, Kenia López Rabadán, indicated that in Mexico, only 28.6% of children under six months are exclusively breastfed.

We recommend: Breastfeeding in times of Covid-19.

While the goal established by the United Nations (UN) is to reach 50%, it is therefore aspired, with this verdict, to reach that figure.

Besides this opinion, Senator Manuel Añorve Baños, president of the Legislative Studies Commission, said that limiting the act of breastfeeding not only contravenes legal provisions on discrimination, but could violate other human rights.

“No woman should be prevented from exercising this right… For full breastfeeding, free of prejudice and an environment free of discrimination”, said Kenia López.

6 Parenting Challenges You Face when You Have a Child

Posted on 14/10/2021 - 19:53 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

Being a mom or dad is a big challenge. Your life is transformed and a series of concerns come to your mind about how to raise that little being who totally depends on you. We are almost always improvising on unknown scenarios, but how about taking a few minutes to analyze some parenting challenges that will come to you with the arrival of your baby?

6 Modern Parenting Challenges

According to the 2021 Modern Parenting Index prepared by Nestlé and the consulting firm Kantar, based on the opinion of more than 8,000 mothers and fathers of babies from 0 to 12 months in 16 countries, including Mexico, these are the main challenges that parents face.

1. A hyper connected world

32% of new parents said that despite living in a world where friends and family are just a WhatsApp message away, it is very common to feel that they are alone with the baby. This is because parenting has continual doubts.

2. Peer pressure

51% of those surveyed said they felt observed and under a lot of pressure about how to raise children.

3. Guilt: the biggest parenting challenge

Halloween and the Day of the Dead: differences and similarities

Posted on 14/10/2021 - 15:04 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

Halloween and the Day of the Dead: two syncretic holidays with great differences and similarities. From the ancient traditions of Celtic and Mesoamerican cultures, to the modern fusion between both celebrations.

Differences and similarities between Halloween and the Day of the Dead

The main difference lies in their origin. However, although they have different cultural and geographical backgrounds, they have surprisingly very similar elements.

The Celtic Samhain

Many people believe that Halloween is American, but it actually comes from the Celtic tradition, ancient peoples who inhabited what is now Ireland, England, Scotland, and France.

It began to be celebrated with the name of Samhain (it means: end of summer). For the Celts, it marked the time when the days became shorter and the nights longer. It signified the start of a New Year and the end of a bountiful harvest season.

They celebrated the farewell of Lugh, god of the Sun, and like many other cultures, they believed that the dead returned to the world of the living, so it was also a time of reflection on death and an opportunity for rebirth. According to the book Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night by Nicholas Rogers, Samhain was a time of balance and sacrifice, possibly including animal sacrifice, and communities prepared to survive the winter.

The Aztec Festival of the Dead

When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, they found that the natives celebrated rituals with which, apparently, they “mocked” death. Horrified, they tried to vanish this practice, but they did not succeed. Manuel Alberro, author of the book, The Christian Day of the Dead and the Day of the Dead in Mexico, explains that the Aztec people honored their dead in August and worshiped Mictecacihuatl, Lady of Mictlan, Queen of Chignahmictlan, the Ninth Level of the World Underground. “The Aztecs kept skulls as trophies, and displayed them during these annual rituals. Skulls symbolized death and rebirth. They were used to honor the deceased, who were believed to return to this world to visit them during this month-long festival. Unlike the Spaniards, who considered death to be the end, the Mexicans saw it as a continuation of life”, the book points out.

From Samhain to Halloween

After Rome conquered most of the Celtic lands, the pagan tradition was reformulated with a Christian narrative. In the year 601 AD, Pope Gregory tried to make this date the All Saints’ Day, dedicated to the Christian martyrs.

Thus, All Saints’ Day was strategically moved to November 1^st, making it coincide with Samhain. They called it All-hallows or All-hallow’s Eve which in Middle English means “the eve of all saints”. Eventually, over time, it became Halloween and turned to be more popular than the liturgical day. It was brought to the United States by the huge number of Irish who immigrated to that country during the nineteenth century.

All Saints’ Day in Mexico

As with Samhain, the Aztec Festival of the Dead was considered sacrilegious by European clergymen. They wanted to suppress it, but it was impossible.

Instead of eradicating it, they assimilated it, trying to impose All Saints’ Day. The native peoples incorporated elements of their own celebration. Gradually it became a unique and very complex ritual that today is known as the Day of the Dead.

Items and offerings on Halloween

The offerings of food and goods to ward off the ancestral spirits and ghosts of Samhain became offerings of food and drink to the poor on All Saints’ Day and resulted in Halloween dishes and sweets.

The pumpkin with the lantern refers to the Irish legend of Jack-o’-Lantern, where the light of the candle illuminates the path of a man condemned to wander as a spirit for all eternity. Disguises were used to confuse and drive ghosts away. The skulls and skeletons were reminders of this time that we will all go through.

Elements and offerings on the Day of the Dead

The Day of the Dead offerings also come from ancient pre-Hispanic ceremonies. For the Aztecs, the soul of the loved one survived and still had many material attributes. So they had to feed themselves: drink water and even use weapons. Copal and burning incense were placed to guide the deceased on their way and purify the space from evil beings. The skulls were a reminder that death, sooner or later, comes for us.

The union of Halloween and the Day of the Dead

In recent years, the tradition of Halloween and the Day of the Dead have been intermingled due to the proximity of Mexico and the United States. The films and the cultural exchange between the two nations have led to the adoption of elements of both celebrations.

Finally, both traditions are the product of cultural syncretism. It is important to mention that due to its complexity and richness, the Day of the Dead is registered as Cultural and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

What tradition do you celebrate the most? Day of the Dead or Halloween.

10 tips for your baby to sleep peacefully

Posted on 13/10/2021 - 18:21 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

It seems that sleepless nights are a “rite of passage” when we are new parents, especially the first months of our babies’ lives. It does not have to be this way. Here are 10 tips for your child to sleep peacefully… and you too!

Before starting with the tips, it is important that you are patient. Think that your baby was in a place where he felt calm, safe and could rest when he wanted.

Now he must get used to the fact that nights are for sleeping, that there are times to eat, and that he is no longer inside his mother’s belly. Everything is a process, but little by little, with the help of these tips, you will achieve your goal.

10 tips for your baby to sleep peacefully

Liliana Amaro, infant sleep coach at Zzleep my baby, explained some tips for our babies to rest. “Remember that in the first few months babies sleep at least 16 to 18 hours. It is a lot, but it is recommended”, says the expert.

1. Create a routine

According to Amaro, it is very important to have a sleep routine since our children are very young. This way you can organize your day, but it also allows you to understand their sleeping patterns. “Having a routine is essential, since your children are kids up to when they are teenagers. It is essential that you understand that your newborn should sleep more, respect his naps”.

2. Understand your baby, talk to him!

Babies are people just like us, but they can’t talk yet. Observe your child and identify what he wants to communicate to you through his eyes, the reactions he has to your words and with crying. Talk to your baby.

“Talk to him and explain what is going on around him. If you change his diaper, tell him what you’re doing. If you feed him, tell him what you offer him. Regarding sleep, explain to him that if he is cranky it is because he feels tired and has to sleep. Tell him that it is already night, point to the sky and explain that there is no sunlight, that it is time to sleep”, indicates the sleep coach.

3. Know the type of crying

Try to identify why your baby cries and the hues that he has in his cry. The cry of hunger, pain or sleep is not the same.

“Many dads can identify that babies cry in different ways. Sometimes moms don’t know it because they are very tired, but be observant and you’ll notice it. When you recognize the sleep cry, you have the signal that he is tired and it’s time to take him to his crib”.

4. Offer a relaxing bath

The bath helps the baby settle down and enter a state of relaxation that leads to sleep.

There are moms who prefer to bathe their child in the morning because they have help and, it’s fine, as you like it, just try to integrate it before the nap so you can create a routine.

It is not recommended to add anything in the bath water, only if the pediatrician has prescribed a dermatological oil, warm water is sufficient. At night, the bath can help you to make him sleep.

5. Dress your baby properly

As it happens to adults, excessive cold or heat interrupts the sleep, so do not cover your baby too much. Try that both blankets and your baby’s clothes are made of natural fibers such as cotton.

By the way, we invite you to take a look at the Baby Creysi clothes because they are comfortable, soft and made with hypoallergenic cotton. Ideal for your baby to sleep peacefully.

6. A few minutes with mom and dad before going to sleep

Before the baby falls asleep, it is highly recommended that you spend a few minutes with your baby to make eye contact, coo and caress him. You can also read a story aloud.

It is highly recommended that the baby and also children spend time with their parents before going to sleep. For me the calmest activity is reading because it increases attachment, it is a soft activity, of low intensity, that can be carried out in bed.

7. Have an adequate diet

Both the baby’s and mother’s diet are important. If the baby is breastfed, a balanced diet by the mother will help him rest. If he already eats solids, you have to watch that he does not have very caloric foods or that his meals are very heavy.

You have to check that the child does not eat foods with a lot of sugar or calories that he needs to burn before going to sleep. It is recommended to feed him at least half an hour before going to bed, but ideally the last meal must be two hours before going to sleep. Do not let him fall asleep with the bottle in his mouth because it causes cavities in his first teeth and there is a risk of choking.

8. Observe your little one’s sleep signs

If your baby yawns, nods or starts to put his head on your shoulder, these are signs that he is sleepy.

Heading is a drastic signal, also when he lies down. When you detect the signs, immediately put him in his bed to sleep. Sometimes we take long and that’s when they start waking up again. The ideal is to attend to the signals instantly.

9. Find a comfortable place for your baby to sleep

There is a myth that says that you should get your baby used to sleeping anywhere: with the lights on, with noise, even in chairs, armchairs, etc. In addition to being dangerous, these myths do not take into account the child’s need to rest.

“I ask you, how do you like to sleep? Can you sleep with noise or light? If so, you are a strange case because most of us sleep in comfortable, cozy, dark and quiet places. That is also what is recommended for babies”.

10. Promote habits from birth

Liliana Amaro’s last point is that you begin to encourage sleep habits in your children from the time they are newborns.

“Habits that are introduced from an early age are those that will last a lifetime. They are good practices that are passed on and will help them throughout their lives. A child who sleeps well will be an adult who will adapt to society more easily and will be happy”, concludes the specialist.

The Box of Kisses: a story for children that makes parents think

Posted on 12/10/2021 - 17:38 by Desarrollo WebAdictos

The Little Box of Kisses, also called, The Box Full of Kisses, is a children’s story that teaches parents the importance of words. Because mom and dad are not only responsible for meeting the needs of children, but also the way they treat their children form the image of themselves. The story, which is by an unknown author, goes like this:

The Box of Kisses

Some time ago, a man punished his little 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper, which he had saved for Christmas presents.

Money was tight on those days, so he exploded in fury when he saw the girl trying to wrap a cardboard box.

The little girl’s idea was to put the box under the Christmas tree as a special gift, but her father did not know this, and he yelled at her to send her to her room.

The little girl, sad and disheartened, moved from the sight of her father who continued to angrily grumble about the cost of that beautiful wasted paper.

“Don’t you know how much that paper costs? You mustn’t have played with it. Go to your room!”

So, the next morning, the girl shyly took the gift to her father and said,

–“This is for you, Daddy”.

The man was embarrassed by his previous furious reaction, but he exploded again when he saw that the box was empty.

And he again shouted at her angrily:

–

“But what kind of joke is this? Don’t you know that when you give someone a gift there’s supposed to be something inside?”.

The little girl looked up, she was shocked to see her father’s angry reaction. With tears in her eyes, and, very afraid, she told him,

–

“Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty! Last night before wrapping it up I blew a lot of kisses into that box and they’re all for you”.

The man felt very guilty for having been so cruel.

He fell to his knees, hugged her daughter and begged her to forgive him. It is said that this father kept that golden box near his bed for the rest of his life. The girl grew up and left home to start her own family. Whenever he felt alone and defeated, he took an imaginary kiss from her and remembered the love that her daughter had deposited there. Over time he understood that there was no more beautiful gift that he could have received.

Reflection

How many times have we received a golden box full of unconditional love and magical kisses from our children?

How many times have we had disproportionate reactions for superficial things?

Why is it difficult for us to understand that a kiss is worth more than any other object, however expensive it may be?

Let’s rescue that drawing full of tenderness, that poorly made craft, that little orange juice made with his little hands full of dirt and love.

There are many gifts, but none as beautiful as the love of our children.
