I SPENT YEARS IN COLLEGE LEARNING INTERESTING FACTS ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND THEY ARE STILL VALID TODAY. I TRUST SOME YOUNG PARENTS OUT THERE MIGHT FIND THE FOLLOWING FACTS INTERESTING AND SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO HERE ARE WONDERFUL AND ILLUMINATING RULES FOR HELPING YOUR CHILD BECOME A GENIUS.
RULE NUMBER 1. FOR ALL YOU NEW MOTHERS OUT THERE, UNLESS YOUR DOCTOR SAYS OTHERWISE, ALWAYS BREAST FEED YOUR BABY. YOUR HUMAN MILK IS BETTER THAN COW MILK AND YOUR MILK CONTAINS HORMONES AND VITAMINS SPECIFIC TO YOUR BABY.
RULE NUMBER 2. TRUST YOURSELF BECAUSE AS A MOM YOU ARE THE RESPONSIBLE AND DIRECT ROLE MODEL FOR YOUR BABY, AND YOUR BABY NEEDS PLENTY OF STIMULATION AND SKIN TO SKIN INTERACTION DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS.
RULE NUMBER 3.. AS HE OR SHE GROWS OLDER, TRUST YOUR CHILD'S ABILITY TO LEARN BOTH WITH YOU AND INDEPENDENTLY OF YOU.
RULE NUMBER 4. GIVE ONLY HONEST DETAILS AND FACTS TO YOUR CHILD AND MAKE THEM FUN! HERE IS WHERE DAD COULD HELP WITH PLAY TEACHING.
RULE NUMBER 5. WHEN PLAY TEACHING, GIVE ALL FACTS AND INFORMATION IN SMALL EASY TO UNDERSTAND STRESS FREE PORTIONS AND DON'T FORCE YOUR CHILD TO LEARN ANYTHING. IT IS FUN AND ADVISABLE TO PLACE MUSICAL NOTES AND MATH NUMBERS AND COLOURFUL LETTERS ON YOUR BABY'S ROOM WALLS.
RULE NUMBER 6. BABIES HAVE SHORT ATTENTION SPANS AND SO STOP YOUR PLAY TEACHING WHEN BABY DECIDES HE OR SHE HAS HAD ENOUGH.
RULE NUMBER 7. HUMAN BABIES NEED PLENTY OF EXERCISE DURING THEIR FIRST AND SECOND YEAR OF LIFE AND SO A LARGE ROOM FILLED WITH SOFT TOYS IS BETTER THAN A PLAY PEN. BABIES LIKE TO CRAWL AND EXPLORE AND THAT STIMULATES THEIR BIO-ELECTRICAL TRIGGERS IN THEIR HEART MUSCLES.
RULE NUMBER 8. ALWAYS PUT YOUR NEW BABY TO SLEEP ON HIS BACK TO AVOID CRIB DEATH BY SUFFOCATION. YOU CAN ALWAYS AVOID THE CRIB ALTOGETHER WITH A LARGE ROOM. SING GENTLY OR PLAY SOFT MUSIC TO HELP YOUR BABY SLEEP.
RULE NUMBER 9. EVERY NEW THING A BABY LEARNS SHOULD BE REWARDED WITH A LAUGH OR A SMILE. IF BABY IS DOING SOMETHING WRONG, A FROWN WITH A NEGATIVE NOD OF THE HEAD SENDS THE INSTINCTIVE AND UNIVERSAL SIGNAL TO STOP. BABIES CAN LEARN THE SOUNDS OF THREE OR FOUR LANGUAGES BEFORE THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF WORDS.
RULE NUMBER 10. ALWAYS ASSOCIATE PLEASING AND HAPPY FEELINGS WITH EACH STEP OF THE LEARNING PROCESS. THE MORE HAPPY ASSOCIATIONS MATCHED WITH REALITY, THE BETTER!
RULE NUMBER 11. MAKE LEARNING NEW THINGS EASY AND ENJOYABLE UNTIL THE PROCESS BECOMES SELF ACTIVATED.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN WITH BABY!
