21 MEMOS FROM A CHILD
When I got a high fever and flu, my mom went to my pediatrician for check-up and found a post at the clinic's wall. She found it very interesting and significant for all the parents like her so she jotted down the title and search this via net. Luckily, she found this one.
Hope this would make her understand me more...
Enjoy!!!
21 MEMOS FROM YOUR CHILD
1. Don’t spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all that I ask for. I’m only testing you.
2. Don’t be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it; it makes me feel more secure.
3. Don’t let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.
4. Don’t make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly “big”.
5. Don’t correct me in front of people if you can help it. I’ll take much more notice of it if you talk quietly with me in private.
6. Don’t make me feel my mistakes are sins. It upsets my sense of values.
7. Don’t protect me from consequences. I need to learn the painful way, sometimes.
8. Don’t be too upset when I say “I hate you.” It isn’t you I hate but your power to thwart me.
9. Don’t take too much notice of my small ailments. Sometimes they get me the attention I need.
10. Don’t nag. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.
11. Don’t forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like. This is why I’m not always very accurate.
12. Don’t make rash promises. Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken.
13. Don’t tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies.
14. Don’t be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.
15. Don’t tell me my fears are silly. They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to understand.
16. Don’t put me off when I ask questions. I you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.
17. Don’t ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too great a shock when I discover that you are neither.
18. Don’t ever think it is beneath your dignity to apologize to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm toward you.
19. Don’t forget how quickly I am growing up. It must be very difficult to keep pace with me, but please do try.
20. Don’t forget I love experimenting. I couldn’t get on without it, so please put up with it.
21. Don’t forget that I can’t thrive without lots of understanding love, but I don’t need to tell you, do I?

Rolling Over Baby Uno: Safety Measures
Some babies begin to roll over as early as two months of age, about 75% of infants are rolling over by nineteen weeks.
And about 90% are rolling over by the time they are five and a half months old.
That makes it very important to work to avoid falls and getting things childproofed around your home. Now that your baby is rolling over, you can't simply childproof her immediate surroundings and still be safe. She may roll over and find something to choke on, fall off the couch, or get into other things that you didn't expect she could reach.
To keep your baby safe as she is rolling over, you should:
* be sure that you don't leave your baby for even a second when she is somewhere that she can fall, such as a changing table, bed, couch, etc. If you have to leave for whatever reason, even for a few seconds, pick up your baby and take her with you.
* keep one hand on your baby at all times whenever she is up high on a changing table or a place that she can fall
* check the floor regularly for small items and toys that your baby could choke on. This includes marbles, balls, uninflated or broken balloons, small magnets, small Lego pieces and other toys with small pieces.
* teach older children to keep their toys away from the baby and to put them away when they are done playing with them. You might even set up a toy-free zone around the baby, just to be safe that siblings don't leave small toy pieces around her.
* make sure you have gotten your home well childproofed. Don't wait until she is crawling or walking. If she is mobile, it is time (if you haven't already) for childproofing everything so that one of her "first steps" doesn't end up in your first visit to the emergency room.
Rolling over
Once your baby has head control, and about the same time that he learns to sit on his own, he'll learn to roll over. He'll eventually learn to flip over from his back to his tummy and vice versa, and he'll use his newfound skill to get around a bit. The incentive for those early rolls is often an elusive toy — or you.
When it develops
Your baby may be able to kick himself over, from his tummy to his back, as early as age 2 to 3 months. It may take him until he's about 5 or 6 months to flip from back to front, though, because he needs stronger neck and arm muscles for that maneuver.
How it develops
At about 3 months, when placed on his stomach, your baby will lift his head and shoulders high, using his arms for support. This mini-pushup helps him strengthen the muscles he'll use to roll over. He'll amaze you (and himself!) the first time he flips over. (While babies often flip from front to back first, doing it the other way is perfectly normal, too.)
At 5 months your baby will probably be able to lift his head, push up on his arms, and arch his back to lift his chest off the ground. He may even rock on his stomach, kick his legs, and swim with his arms. All these exercises help him develop the muscles he needs to roll over in both directions — likely by the time he's about 6 months old.
While some babies adopt rolling as their primary mode of ground transportation for a while, others skip it altogether and move on to sitting, lunging, and crawling. As long as your child continues to gain new skills and shows interest in getting around and exploring his environment, don't worry.
And about 90% are rolling over by the time they are five and a half months old.

Introducing Solid Foods to Baby Uno
When should I introduce solid food to my baby?
You can introduce solids any time between 4 and 6 months if your baby is ready. Until then, breast milk or formula provides all the calories and nourishment your baby needs and can handle. His digestive system simply isn't ready for solids until he nears his half-birthday.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies be breastfed exclusively for at least six months — though parents will attest that some babies are eager and ready to eat solids earlier.
How will I know when my baby's ready?
Your baby will give you clear signs when he's ready to move beyond liquid-only nourishment. Cues to look for include:
• Head control. Your baby needs to be able to keep his head in a steady, upright position.
• Losing the "extrusion reflex." To keep solid food in his mouth and then swallow it, your baby needs to stop using his tongue to push food out of his mouth.
• Sitting well when supported. Even if he's not quite ready for a highchair, your baby needs to be able to sit upright to swallow well.
• Chewing motions. Your baby's mouth and tongue develop in sync with his digestive system. To start solids, he should be able to move food to the back of his mouth and swallow. As he learns to swallow efficiently, you may notice less drooling. He may also be teething around the same time.
• Significant weight gain. Most babies are ready to eat solids when they've doubled their birth weight (or weigh about 15 pounds) and are at least 4 months old.
• Growing appetite. He seems hungry — even with eight to ten feedings of breast milk or formula a day.
• Curiosity about what you're eating. Your baby may begin eyeing your bowl of rice or reaching for a forkful of fettuccine as it travels from your plate to your mouth.
How should I introduce solid food?
A good rule of thumb is to start with rice cereal, which is gluten-free and less allergenic than other foods. First, nurse or bottle-feed your baby. Then give him one or two teaspoons of dry cereal mixed with enough formula or breast milk to make a semi-liquid. Use a rubber-tipped spoon when you feed your baby, to avoid injuring his gums. Start with just a small amount of cereal on the tip of the spoon.
If your baby doesn't seem very interested in eating off the spoon, let him smell and taste the cereal or wait until he warms up to the idea of eating something solid. Don't add solid food to your baby's bottle or he may not make the connection that food is to be eaten sitting up and from a spoon.
Begin with a once-a-day feeding, whenever it's convenient for you and your baby, but not at a time when your baby seems tired or cranky. Your baby may not eat much in the beginning, but give him time to get used to the experience. Some babies need practice keeping food in their mouths and swallowing.
Once he gets used to his new diet, he'll be ready for a few tablespoons of cereal a day. As the amount he eats increases, gradually thicken the consistency of the cereal and add another feeding.

Driving Rules and Tips
Driving is the controlled operation of a land vehicle, such as a car, truck or bus. Although direct operation of a bicycle, a mounted animal (not including chariot operation) or a motorcycle (at least in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia) is commonly called riding, such operators are usually legally considered to be drivers and are required to obey the rules of the road which apply to all drivers.
Driving as a physical skill
In terms of the basic physical tasks required, a driver must be able to control direction, acceleration, and deceleration. For motor vehicles, the detailed tasks include:
* Starting the vehicle's engine with the starting system
* Setting the transmission to the correct gear
* Depressing the pedals with one's feet to accelerate, slow, and stop the vehicle, and if the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, to modulate the clutch
* Steering the vehicle's direction with the steering wheel
* Operating other important ancillary devices such as the indicators, headlights, and windshield wipers
Driving as a mental skill
Demonstration of Drifting at the Nürburgring Driving Safety Center
Avoiding or successfully handling an emergency driving situation can involve the following skills:
* Making good decisions based on factors such as road and traffic conditions
* Evasive maneuvering
* Proper hand placement and seating position
* Skid control
* Steering and braking techniques
* Understanding vehicle dynamics
Distractions can compromise a driver's mental skills. One study on the subject of mobile phones and driving safety concluded that, after controlling for driving difficulty and time on task, drivers talking on a phone exhibited greater impairment than drivers who were suffering from alcohol intoxication.
Another survey indicated that music could affect a driver's concentration.
A person is subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which he or she is driving. The rules of the road, driver licensing and vehicle registration schemes that apply vary considerably between jurisdictions, as do laws imposing criminal responsibility for negligent driving, vehicle safety inspections and compulsory insurance. The standard of responsibility imposed by these laws is based on the extraordinary danger of driving motor vehicles. Most countries also have differing laws against driving whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Motorists are almost universally required to take lessons with an approved instructor and pass a driving test before being granted a license. The trend has been towards increasingly tougher tests in recent decades.

SAFETY MEASURES WHILE BATHING BABY ON A BATHTUB
When your baby can sit up independently, he's ready to start bathing in the "big tub." Here are some guidelines to make bath time safe:
Watch your baby. Supervise your baby at all times during a bath. Babies can drown in as little as an inch of water. A sturdy waterproof bath seat or bath ring (with suction cups on the bottom) may help keep your baby in a manageable position, but it doesn't guarantee his safety. Never leave your baby unattended.
Prevent falls. Place a rubber mat in your tub for your baby to sit on. Make it a rule right from the start that he always sits in the tub, never stands.
Monitor the water temperature. Keep the water temperature between 96 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Set your water heater no higher than 120 degrees.
Prepare the bath safely. Fill the tub so the water will be no higher than his waist when your baby is seated. Run the water before placing your baby in the tub, and when you put him in, position him well away from the faucet handles and spout. Some parents find extra peace of mind in a cushioned spout cover for the faucet, although it's not very likely your baby will bump into it.
Easy on the soap. Soap, shampoo, and bubble bath can irritate your baby's skin during a prolonged soak (and bubble bath can irritate the urethra, leading to urinary tract infections), so use them sparingly. Warm water alone will usually do the trick.

TIPS FOR BABY SLEEPING
Naptime frequently can be a stressful time for both the parent and child alike, and bad habits can develop quickly. The key is to teach your baby how to fall asleep alone, in his/her own environment, instead of relying on some outside force to get your baby sleeping. Make sure that you don't allow yourself to fall into a pattern where you have to do something in order to get your baby napping.
The common mistake is to take your baby for a stroll or a drive when you know that it is right around naptime. It's all too easy to do that instead having to deal with actually allowing your baby to learn how to fall asleep on his/her own.
Instead, get your baby falling asleep without any external stimulus, so that your baby can sleep independently and naptime can be a peaceful
and rejuvinating time for you both.
Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all
Baby is drowsing
Cosy and fair
Mother sits near
In her rocking chair
Forward and back
The cradle she swings
And though baby sleeps
He hears what she sings
From the high rooftops
Down to the sea
No one's as dear
As baby to me
Wee little fingers
Eyeslink to a non-NIEHS site wide and bright
Now sound asleep
Until morning light
Is your baby getting the sleep he needs? Keeping track of your child's slumber (when he falls asleep, how often and for how long he wakes up, and the length and frequency of his naps during the day) is one way to find out for sure. It will also help you understand your child's unique sleep schedule and identify problems such as repeated night wakings or inconsistent bedtimes before they turn into bad habits. Plus, simply filling out a chart every day can help you feel more in control of your life — something that's particularly important if you're feeling overwhelmed by your baby's nighttime demands.
Check out our sample chart below from the book Solving Your Child's Sleep Problems by Richard Ferber, M.D., to see what a completed chart looks like. Click here to view and then print out a blank chart to use at home.
How to do it
Shade the boxes that indicate when your child is asleep. Mark the time he gets up in the morning and from naps with the letter "U." Use a "D" to show when you put him down for a nap or at bedtime. After several days of filling in the chart, you'll see a pattern emerge. You can use this information to help you decide whether you need to make some adjustments to your baby's sleep routine. Or take it with you to your next pediatrician's appointment if you have concerns about your child's sleep habits.

BABY CARE ON THE BEACH!!! WOW!!!
It’s a wonderful feeling when you take your baby to the beach for the very first time. The new sights, sounds and smells will excite your baby. The glees and the gurgles more than compensate for the pains you may have taken to prepare for your special outing.
Caring for your baby out on the beach requires packing items to protect, feed and keep her happy.
Some Safety Tips!
Exposed body parts such as the face, head or neck need to be protected with a broad-rimmed hat. Young children should not be exposed to direct sunlight, especially in the middle of the day between eleven AM and three PM. Their eyes also need to be protected from harmful UV rays with quality UVA/UVB sunglasses. They can enjoy playing while protected under a beach umbrella or while being wheeled around in a stroller and mounted sunshade. If you leave your infant in a pop-up tent, you need to constantly monitor the temperature. It can get very warm inside in a short period of time. Look for a tent with wide screen windows to let air circulate.
Useful Baby Gear For the Beach!
A twin baby stroller with ample sunshade is great for the beach. Just make sure that your stroller doesn’t have swivel front wheels. Such strollers don’t perform well on sand and tend to get stuck.
Some beaches contain facilities where you can rent beach gear. You should check this before packing your baby stroller. Beach strollers usually come with an umbrella attachment and have very large, wide wheels that move easily on sand.
Travel items to pack include baby foods and liquids, disposable feeding bottles and battery operated food warmers. Other items include a floppy hat with fabric ties, baby lotion, sunscreen, soap, washcloths, wet wipes, towels, diapers and toys. These can all go into your diaper bag.
A beach outing provides wholesome fun for the entire family. Nurturing your baby need not stop you from having fun at the beach. If you pack all the necessary items, you can enjoy a memorable experience that you’ll cherish forever.
