PREVENTION AND PERMISSIVE PARENTING EDUCATION 101...Training and manipulation, when handled gently, can make for easy parenting! Confused yet?! It's simple, keep an attitude that would would never do anything to the child you wouldn't want them doin back to you later on in life! I, ...start manners young! Right from BABY up through, I use manners with my children and I expect they follow my example! Teach through example! Don't hurt, is easy to teach, not yourelf or anyone else, no their person, their belongings or their feelings! EVER!!! You'll never be embarassed by your children, and they will take good care of you later on in life when you, ..maybe ho knows, ...are on your death bed! They'll remember how they were raised!!! So, always make sure baby is comfortable! CLEAN is a big point here, sirt makes baby itchy and uncomfortable!!! Soft clothing, soft blankets, NO WRINKLES!!! Wrinkles will make baby fussy, they're little skin is sooo sensitive at first. Fabric softeners are important! Personally I won't use anything but snuggle especially for baby clothing!!! Everything else rots elastic, magine what it does to the skin! Hunger will make a baby cry, so will gas. Feed baby on a schedule, ( nurses give free advice ya know! So do Dr.s) The very second baby wiggles or fusses at all, you must BURP immediately! Three or four should suffice, you'll know when baby stops wiggling and fussing that there are no more burps, if you start feeding agan and baby is still wiggling or having trouble with suction then try getting another burp! Burps come up, ...not sideways, not down, UP! Place baby against chest in an upright position, gravity functions ya know! Pat baby on back gently butfirmly starting at the bottom and slowly working upwards, then repeat! Remeber three to four burps. Baby WILL sense your frustration, always remember to stay calm in front of baby unil you can allow yourself to lose it somewhere you will not take chances on hurting yoruself or baby! After yo put the baby down, then lose it away from them!!!! You'll feel bad if you don't and leaves for underlying frustration that baby can sense and will make them fussy and gacious! Bad angles, could make a baby fussy for no reason. Make sure baby is in a natural position, how would you want to be laying or sitting? Is baby slumped? Help them to sit straight, it will stop scholiosis before it happens! Keep bottles and diapers clean!!!! Clean out the bottle when it is emptied. Diapers should be changed approximately every four hours unless baby is poopy! Anything else is unnecessary. It's not a bad thing to leave a little pee on a baby!!! AND they do not need o be wiped every singe time they peee! Only change if baby has pooped, wipe only when they poop, unless really wet, and try usin corn starch if anything instead of powder, you'll save them congestive problems. Baby powder is only good foroily skin and older babies.Hint, ...when chosing wet wipes, use them on yourself for a day! See how they make you feel!!!! Desitin and A& D ointment and Balmex. Switch around. Use them in a variation! Baby will build a immunity to a diaper rash ointment if you use nothing but! ODD,I know but too true! Diaper changing...if the diaper is half on, you have to clean up extra messes and abby gets all dirty! Place child on a blanket in the middles, puting hand on babys midsection to hold still while getting a little older will help if they wiggle too much, taking babys feet in between the first finger and the fourth finger holds them snug but don't squeeze, lift the abys but up just enough to place diaper CENTERED underneath and equal the thing between babys hips, making sure that the tape reaches out to both sides equally! Place the tape aprtway in on one side and try ot keep it centered on both sides, otherwise it could cut into babys legs and slop over to one side making it impossible for it to fit snug and possibly making a hell of a mess! On baby and house! Stimulation to the brain! Colorful objects, bright and obvious shapes and vivid textures,soft toys, make a baby happy, not too close to the face but not too far off either, improve a babies vsion gradually by moving objects in front of them slowly and moving close and far off slowly! Their vision will adjust more quickly if you allow them to keep focussed! Caring, gentle, safe, touch around the face and hairline, the fingers, arms, feet legs...CLUE, never allow anyone to think that you would ever touch a child innapropriately!!! You will get revenged!!! Keep animals away from baby, WATCH THEM CLOSELY!!!!!!! That and other children! Prevent accidents before they happen!!! Calm soothing sounds, musical almost, anything you say as long as it is said calmly while baby is little. Words will matter more and more as baby gets older and understands more!!! Baby will be comforted more by a softer tone of voice! gentle and slow but deliberate movements will give baby something to concentrate on and make them smile and even laugh. Manipulation makes things much easier. When you know how to manipulate a child by using pressure points, you don't have to fight them so hard in putting on clothes and moving them around. Example; when taking clothes off baby place fingers behind elbow and in front of elbow, placing more pressure inside that out to pull arm out and opposite that to put arm in! Same with the legs. Place hand on top of knee to move leg out and behind the knee to move leg in and or up! Running your hands over a babys knuckles will open the hand and putting pressure on the inside of the fingers will make them grasp! Pushing into the ball of a babys foot will make them pull their foot up and putting pressure on the top of the toes will make them grip their toes! Somtimes a baby just wants to be held. here's a couple simple suggestions to help cuddle baby and make them feel all warm and cozy! Baby's love to feel like they are all snuggled up inside the womb!!! Grab a blanket, place it on the floor, place babys head near one corner of the blanket and bring up the botton, folding it under the babys chin, take the outside corners and bring them in, folding them NEATLY!!! across babys chest. This is what's called swaddling and it makes baby feel like they are back curled up inside the womb. Makes for a very calm, content child! Babys love to be snuggled up around where they can hear your heatbeat, it reminds them of the womb!!! Some people even buy ticking clocks to place around the baby while they are trying to get them to sleep, it simulates ( makes it the same as) a heartbeat! Soft, slow music, white noise (like the tv after all the shows are off or a radio station blanked) at a very low volume. Nature noises, waterfalls, wind, thunder and lightenning, repetitive and consistent sounds are lulling as in calming. Big hint...beeing careful of course with sudden loud noises, ...make sure baby is used to a sminor level of noise in the house, keep music going and or tv, vacuum while the child is awake to get them used to the noise, that way you don't have to worry about them waking up at every little noise in the house. Always have something going while they are sleeping! The only time you really need to be quiet, is while baby is literally just falling asleep!
Here's a quickbaby food recipe for ya! As long as you are keeping your diet perfectly natural, ( especially the fruits and veggies and starches and grains, nevermind the meats at first, these are good for over a year old!) , anything you eat can be mashed into a puree for baby!!! As long as you are careful what you use to cook it in! Vegetable oil spread is better for you and baby.
Now for children, ...as babies get older they need certain things at certain times in their lives! Certain foods for certain ages, always the purees andmashes first, there's nothing wrong with spices, herbs and salt and pepper on a light level!!! It is a purification process! Mix fruits and veggies with a starch or a grain so as not to give baby bellyaches and always call a Dr. and ask before starting baby on foods!!! Remember always, IF IT DOESN"T TASTE GOOD TO YOU, WHY WOULD BABY EAT IT!!!
Progressive toys, shapes, textures and colors will stimulate a babys intelligence as well as motor function and help the senses to develop properly! Words, showing baby as they get older how to move their mouth while making sonds will improve their intelligence, your closeness and their trust all at the same time! Patience and tollerance are too important while raising children. Always stay calm unless...i is a life threatenning emergency. Then a little bit of urgency will make them understand easier! That is important! Children do need to be taught right from wrong and sometimes it takes beeing a little louder than usual! Never abusive, just reinforcing. Defensive and protective always and immediately after the behavior!!! That is too important. Teach them not to hurt, like I said and use manners with them, like you want them to do with you! They learn from your examples and will mimick your behavior, even if it's not right in front of your face! That could be slighly embarrassing depending on company!!! Never start behaviors that you don't want to continue. Allowing a child to become dependant on any behavior or making anything a pattern, they will get so used to that it may be impossible to get them out of it!!! Never give more negative attention, save it for life threatenning emergencies! They will misbehave to get the amounts of negative behavior if they don't get enough positive attention! Sooth baby often by smothing down hair and neatenning their appearances often. They will learn that you respect and love them if you do and it's an excuse to give positive attention safely. DO IT OFTEN. Don't fuss continuously but make sure they get to feel safe and appropriate forms of affection. Big tip in parenting...If you can't do it in public, you know damn well you shouln't be doin it at all! That doesn't mean embarrass them all the time, it just means that you should be able to appropriately discipine your child, without beeing embarrassed or innappropriate! I have always showed my cildren , of course approrpiately, how it feels. Do't hurt Mama and Mama doesn't hit back, bite back, kick back! Etc...I know it sounds mean, but at the appropriate ages, my children learned the simple laws of consequence!!! There's alot of people on this Earth that will not tollerate a child that hits/kicks/bites and they could get themselves seiously abused if not corrected on these behaviors at a young age! I used to physically rmove my childs hand when hit by accident or otherwise and teach them slow, soft touch. Don't hit the face, touch the face! Again always do nothing in private you wouldn't do in public and you will never go wrong in raising your children! Act liek DHS and Child Protective and the local judge are all watching you all the time! Correct yourself immediately when you realise youa re wrong or unjustified and never forge to apologise for beeing wrong or harsh if unnecessary. Admitting you are wrong will helo the child to correct themselves! This is impressive for company and is a great teacher of self control for both you and baby! As baby gets older, there's a simple little technique I learned called redirect! Simply give the child permission to do what is acceptable and revoke all negative attention! Never overreact, always be patient and quiet, if the child fears you too much it is much more difficult for htem to respect you, trust yu and learn from you!!!! That's kinda important! It's easier to pick achild up and refocus their direction, getting upset only frustrates you and them and then they learn nothing! Give them permission and then praise them for continuing to d the right things, ...THEY'LL WANT TO DO THE RIGH THING MORE OFTEN!!! Always better to correct yourself immediately, same with your child. If you catch the nehavior as soon as it happens and refocus or redirect, you'll never have to over punish and the child will understand better what they ar being disciplied for! Consequences have to fit the crime! Another BIG TIP/CLUE!!! Content children are happy children and intelligent children are confident children! Buy and get educational toys. Get colorful toys, let them pick out what they wan to play with!!! Don't ever expect children to just be happy with what they get. Every child is unique and individual and will enjoy different textures, colors, types and variations of toys. Get things you can get down on the loor and play, with, them! Teach themevery step of the way the right things to do and they will never vary/differ from it!!! There are booklets and lists of tips and even classes you can take through DHS and the local YMCA to help to make things easier, ...UTILIZE RESOURCE! Dr.s love giving free advice about parenting, don't hesitate to ask all the questions you want! Being curious make syou look like a better parent, cause it shows you are interrested in doing the right thing!!! It doesn't mean you are ignorant, not everyone has that kind of knowledge. It takes an education to be a good parent!! You have to learn to have an education, that means you have to seek the knowledge that you need for each different point in your life!!! Ask your Dr. what to expect from baby and teach baby at each appointment you go to, gather all the info you can!!!

Sanitary environment...is too important for baby's health! Keeping baby healthy from birth up will ensure that you don't pay out the butt in health care costs!!!DUH!!! Insurance is hard to come by!!! Deserve it by learning preventin from your Dr.!!! Cut costs while baby is young and stop money arguments with spouse or partner!!! Use simplified versions of household cleaners and dilute as instructed. Read the directions peoples! Always keep kitchen and bath spotless, clean often! Wipe when done! Always dry the area after cleaning, mold and mildew make for a very unhealthy atmosphere, yuck and invites the microscopic parasites and mites and even worms that crawl all over anything that is close to the area, specially the floor where baby is! NOT GOOD! Sickness, disease and illness start here!! Wash baby blankets often and keep clean sheets on beds, change baby every day unless soiled. This will not only ensure that baby is kep neat and clean but not canging baby too often will ensure that they ar introduced to small/minor levels of dirt and dust and pollens maing sre hey ubild their immunities properly!!! USE DON'T ABUSE!!! Overabundances of anything is an overdose, OK, almost anything! Gentle introductions to nature will also help a baby build proper immunities at a proper rate! Stops them from having allergies later on in life!!! Little introductions to everything in it's own time. Variations of foods and colors of foods will make sure baby stays healthy and U 2!!! Rainbow yur variety and stay away from red meats and keep minimal levels of proteins and poultry in your diet, meats can come in later when Mom has lost her weight and babys belly can handle the fattier foods!!! Toys, games, books and educational TV and movies are the best way to keep your child content!!! Make sure they ahve enough toys that they don't get sick of what they have! Second hand toys are great for small rewards when they've been good!!! Goodwill, Salvation Army, and lawn and yard sales are great for this purpose specifically!!!! LET THEM CHOSE THEIR TOYS!! They will be satisfied and content playing and staying out of your hair more often. Of course, help them, help, not do for, chose safe toys that will last. Instead of making demands, make suggestions! Be firm about what is and is not acceptable but allow them their choices as often as safely possible!See...It's easier on the pocketbook, the relationship, the temper and the kids! Cleaning up more toys will only keep you in better sape anyways! Make them responsible for thier belongings and teach them to treat their toys with respect.Take them away if they are beeing abusive!!! Don't get angry, just remove what is being abused! Like when they misbehave, that's how children learn...refocus and redirect instead of getting angry, it wastes your time, your energy and your trust levels with your child, not to menion wearing on your relationship!!! Content children leave for more time in a relationship! OH, be careful what you do in front of your children!!! It is a good thing to show a child appropriate levels of affection! It is NOT good to be hanging all over and being sexual in front of them, not until they are of an appropriate age to have their own safe, choice relationships. It's embarrassing to have a child that doesn't know how to behave socially!!!! Doesn't say much for you as a parent! Sorry to say!!! Everyone knows that children learn by example.Don't do anything in front of your child tht you don't want them repeating in front of or with or around company!!!!
Maintain a safe atmsphere around the babies!!! Keep unhealthy and unsafe objects out of childs reach at all times! Save yourself the accidentsand the Doctors bills!!! No to mention the stress of having to run to catch something or correct something unsafe from happenning! prevent, it takes ot long to correct the damage when you could have stopped it from happenning altogether! Big Tip, ...always correct yourself when you are wrong, especally in front of your child/ren!!! ANDalways apologise ASAP when you know you are wrong or did something you didn't mean! It almost takes back all the damage immediately!!! Doesn'tmake it OK to make mistakes!!!iIt does help the child undersand better about progress as opposed to perfection! Something else that makes a big difference is making sure the child has a comfortable room to play in. A safe, creative, playfull,cleanly, well organised room with plenty of toys will keep children out from underfoot and give you more time to yourself and your relationship!!! Makes a big difference. If you want time to clean and read and watch your soaps or talk on the computer, ...make sure the child/ren are well occupied in a safe atmosphere so you don't have to run back and forth every time they scream! I even made sure my kids had their own second hand TV to watch cause we all argue over shows! Kept them busy in their rooms wile I cleaned, we had a farm and too many indoor outdoor animals so I had to keep the place clean more often! Plus I like clean children. It makes a parent look good wen both the kids and the house are clean and well kept! Oh, and always make sure you set limits, tell them what is and is not ok...before they do it and make sure they are aware of the consequences of their actions! There will be less question and more reward as opposed to negative attention betwen the two of you and the cild will learn from you more easily and have less disrespect and spite towards you, the parent! Always remember not to do anything to the child that they do not like or is innappropriate in public, they will respect you more and do fewer things to make you angry!!!
