If you are reading this, I would like you to tell your husband this.

As a father, you have an important role to play in taking care of your baby and development to be smart baby. Your baby needs you. And mom needs you to share many of the responsibilities of taking care of your new baby. When you do things with your baby, you and your baby get closer. You and your baby form a bond that helps her feel safe and happy.

You may feel nervous around a newborn because you have never done it before. The best way for you to get over the uneasiness is to hold your baby.

Here are some things you can do to be a part of your baby’s life. You will find that the more you do with her, the more comfortable you will be.

• Hold and cuddle your baby.

• Smile and laugh with your baby.

• Talk to your baby. Your baby will quickly learn your voice and know that you are her daddy.

• Change your baby’s diapers.

• Cuddle with mom and your baby during breastfeeding.

• When mom’s breast milk or formula has been put in a bottle, you can give your baby the bottle. Cuddle with and talk and sing to your baby during bottle time.

• Take your baby for a walk. Babies love the sights and sounds of the outdoors.

• Play with your baby.

When you’re choosing toys for your baby, consider cost and safety. Toys need to be sturdy. They should have smooth edges and not break, splinter or crack. Make sure the toys can be cleaned easily. Test all toys regularly to make sure there are no loose parts.

All babies explore with their mouths. Make sure toys are safe for mouthing. Avoid play materials that are made of foam. Your baby could bite off a piece and choke.

Use these guidelines when you’re choosing toys for your baby.

• The toy is interesting to explore and manipulate.

• The toy is not a choking hazard.

• The toy matches the child’s physical abilities.

• The toy challenges but does not frustrate.

• The toy is well-constructed and durable.

Great toys for babies

Great toys can help your baby grow and learn. Most are inexpensive. Many can be hand made. Remember to check the toys often for safety.

• Books—Buy plastic or cardboard picture books. Get books with pictures of common objects.

• Dolls—Offer soft, simple dolls with painted faces.

• Stuffed animals—Provide soft, plush animals with sewn or painted faces.

• Transportation toys—Buy sturdy, one-piece cars and trucks. Buy toys your baby can carry and roll.

• Grasping toys—Offer toys that have interesting textures and parts to explore. Examples include plastic linking chains, stacking rings and shape sorters.

• Sand and water toys—Offer unbreakable household cups, spoons, funnels and strainers.

• Construction toys—Buy sturdy wooden blocks. Offer a few at a time for your baby to stack. She will build with them when she’s older.

• Puzzles—Buy simple wooden inset puzzles with two to four pieces.

• Mirrors—Share unbreakable hand mirrors. Hang a mirror low on the wall where your baby crawls.

• Nesting and building toys—Buy or gather cups and boxes of various sizes that “nest” inside each other. Turned upside down, they can be stacked on top of each other.

• Balls—Buy a variety of sizes and textures for rolling and tossing.

• Art and craft materials—Offer a few large, nontoxic crayons. Use tape to hold paper in place.

• Musical instruments—Buy or make shakers, rattles and drums.

• Audio materials—Buy or borrow recordings of simple songs, rhymes and rhythms.

Your baby is too active to watch TV now. She is curious about the things in the real world: kitchen spoons, blades of grass and newspapers. Her attention span is too short to sit still and watch TV for even a minute. This means that she won’t be interested in videos or movies, either.

When you watch TV, watching it takes time away from your baby. It’s hard to enjoy a show and care for your baby at the same time. It’s best to save your TV watching until she naps or goes to bed at night. Instead of watching TV, read a book to her.

Sing a song or dance to music. Play a game such as “drop the ball in the oatmeal box.” These activities help develop her brain. They strengthen her social skills. They help her feel loved and happy.

If you watch TV while your baby sleeps, turn down the sound and darken her room. You don’t want her to think she’s missing something fun.

Avoid having the TV on all day as background noise. A silent black box will be less interesting to explore. Limiting TV time is a good habit to start now. Later, when she’s in school, your child will need time to read and do her homework.

There are two main reasons for parents to make rules for their children. The first is to keep children safe. The second is to help children learn self-control.

Your baby needs to know that she can depend on you to set limits for safety and guidance. Use these guidelines when you set limits for your baby:

Make rules that develop the self-esteem and dignity of your baby. Don’t have rules that make her feel bad about herself. For example, when she’s trying to say a new word and mispronounces it, say the word correctly. Don’t scold, mock, or repeat the “baby” word.

Make rules that are clear to your baby. Your baby needs to be told the rule, again and again. For example, you don’t want your baby to pull your hair. If she pulls it again after you told her that it hurts, simply put her down. Say, “I can’t hold you when you pull my hair. I won’t let you hurt me.”

Make rules that you can enforce. Avoid threats like “If you splash, I’ll never let you play in water again.” Instead, state clearly that you expect the water to stay in the sink while your baby pours from cup to cup. If she splashes the water, restate the rule and tell her that her water play is over for the day.

Enforce rules consistently. Your baby needs to learn that rules are important to her safety and that they don’t change from day to day. For example, you have a rule that your baby always rides in a car safety seat. This rule should be the same in all cars, no matter who is driving. If you bend the rule once, she will test it again and again.

Childproof your home so it is a safe place for your baby to play and explore. You’ll spend less time making and enforcing rules.

Parents don’t aware that spanking actually effect on a child’s behavior in the long run. Basically it stop bad behaviour happening in front of parents. Soon your child will become experts not to be caught. There develop to following rules only avoid punishment not learning the value of it to be right and wrong. choose good from bad. Spanking also exposed the child to violent. When they see it is permissivable to hit other. When the parents use authority, bigger and stronger inflit pain and fear in the child. Definately no positive conseqeuences results from spanking. Spanking always is a short cut way used by parents.

It is best for child to concentrate on specific and good behaviour.

Decide the specific behavior you would like to change
Do not tell the child to be neat but tell her to pick up her toys before watch TV.

Praise your child for good behaviour
Do not praise the child but praise what she is doing. Not focus ” you are good girl for sitting down” say,”It’s good you are sitting down” Focus your praise or disapproval on your child behavour.

Praise as long the new behaviour need support
Reinfoece the good behaviour, it will motivates your child to continue to bahave well.

Keep an eye
Parents pay close attention to their child so that many behaviour problem will not go unnotice and uncorrect.

Keep history away
What done is done ?Reminding your child of their error only reminds them what not to do, it does not show them what to do. Constant reminder will increase likelyhood of more bad behaviour.
