Did You Know: 

Growth spurts can start as early as 10 days after your baby’s birth.  Growth spurts usually are preceded by a sleepy, lethargic day and a big jump in appetite.  Growth spurts may happen again at 3, 6, and 12 weeks and again at 4 and 6 months.  If you begin to notice that your child is not as satisfied with the amount that you have been feeding her previously, then she may be beginning a growth spurt period.  If you are breastfeeding, you may want to add a feeding or two to satiate your baby’s appetite and to help increase milk production.

Childhood Fears ~ Helping Children Cope.


"Normally, children learn to guage rather accurately from the tone of their parent's voice how seriously to take his threats. Of course, they sometimes misjudge and pay the penalty."

-- Louis Kaplan

The following parenting tools is taken from a recent radio
"parenting tips" program written for a nonprofit agency in my local
area.

This weeks tip for parents deals with childhood fears. Fears of dogs, doctors, and the dark are normal experiences in a childs early development. Here are some tips for helping children cope with their fears:

Buy your child stuffed animals or spend time with small animals such as rabbits.

Role-play going to the doctor before your visit. try to visit when your child doesn't have to get a shot or feels sick.

Put a nightlight in your child's room and listen to soft music to help soothe nighttime fears.

Discourage scary stories or television shows to avoid fears of monsters.

Never force your child to go someplace frightening or trivialize their fears as silly or stupid.

Draw pictures and talk about the things that frighten your child.
