My sister in law based in London bought Dr. Seuss books for her favorite pamangkin.  Biboy loves books now that he can read all by himself.   His tita Mons got her the “Cat in the Hat” his favorite, “Fox in Socks” and “Green Eggs and Ham.”   We are proud of him everytime he reads [...]

I’ve been delayed for a week. I normally get regular periods but somehow it is not the case for the last month of this year. Don’t know why as I’m not stressed and had a good long rest this holiday season. Went ahead of myself and computed my EDD. Even the little boy is excited [...]

“There is no such thing as a day-care centre that can do as good a job as a parent can,” says the author of The First Three Years of Life. The book recommends that parents should postpone careers and even live poorly for the sake of being with their children during their first three years [...]

“Very young children who watch television face an increased risk of attention deficit problems by school age,” reported The Herald of Mexico City. The report cites a study published in the medical journal Pediatrics involving two groups totaling 1,345 children—one group of one-year-olds and the other of three-year-olds.

Yes, it truly does. To illustrate: A startled interviewer asked a five-year-old girl, “Why do you want to be dead?” The sad-eyed tot replied: “Because it would be so peaceful. Mommy wouldn’t be screaming at me all the time.” Children have feelings. A parent’s thoughtless remarks can be devastating. A proverb states: “There exists the [...]

It is not easy. However, the Bible stresses “fellow feeling.” (1 Pet. 3:8) There may often be underlying reasons for a child’s misbehavior. For instance, one youngster began acting up in school. His concerned father, who talked for hours with the boy, said: “We continued to show him that we cared about him. Then he [...]

Why take this step? Children need love and wither without it. In the 1950’s, anthropologist M. F. Ashley Montagu wrote: “What the human organism requires most for its development is a nutriment of love; the source of virtually all health is in the experience of love, especially within the first six years of life.” Modern researchers echo [...]

I am cherishing every moment spent with our little boy. At this point, he prefers mommy over dad. I think this is but normal. He clings to me whenever I am home and follows me wherever I go. At times I wanted some quiet time but I can’t have it when he’s around. I take [...]

Babies as young as six months develop “social judging skills before they [can] talk,” say researchers at Yale University, U.S.A. Babies aged six months to ten months watched a large-eyed toy try to climb hills, while other toys either helped it or pushed it backward. The children were then “presented with the toys to see [...]
