Guiding children in the first months of life, a unique experience!
The time will come, when each of us will have and go through such activities, activities that are as pleasant as they are complicated. Taking care of a child of several months of life is not an easy task, although it is a 40 cm tall baby.
Their energy and interest in the new things they discover make this mission very complicated. The mother, for the child, is the center of the universe and everything revolves around her. You can do anything, any activity you do becomes uninteresting when mom appears!
But what do we do when mom is not at home?
The situations and the course of events mean that there are also (short) periods of time when the mother is not available and for some reason has to leave home with various problems. Dad is at work and can't intervene, so there's only one solution left: the grandparents!
A grandson, for a grandfather, is something that cannot be reproduced in sentences, it is his soul, it is his blood and ultimately he is the one who carries on the family name.
Morning for a child
CORRECT, the morning for a child starts very early, at 6:30 he is wide-eyed, and if no one takes him into account he will, alone, take care of being heard, through screams that wake up the whole house. Changing diapers is the first thing, changing night clothes and preparing breakfast follows immediately.
The recommended food, at first hour, is banana with biscuits followed by a bottle of warm milk. Many children love this dish.
The playground
Although the playground can be any place in the house, we have set up a special place in the child's room, with many toys, where he can stay for a short period of time and discover several types of games, plastic figurines, cars , cubes (I recommend buying these toys, ONLY, with the recommendation for a certain age).
It is very normal for the child to get bored quite quickly in one place, with all the game options and all the things he has next to him, and in a few minutes (maybe 30 minutes) to have to change the field of activity .
Walking around the house
One of the most interesting and memorable occupations is the "walk" ensured by the walker. When the child tries to take the first steps and is guided by the wheels of the walker, running around the whole house and being very fascinated by what is happening.
It is normal to protect all the places that can become dangerous, shelves with drawers, chairs, stairs, in this way there is no risk of receiving a portion of screams and crying.
If there is a TV, in that room, a little music is indicated, for babies, it will increase the desire to run away and it will increase energy consumption.
And this activity cannot be longer than a few tens of minutes and we have to find another way to attract the attention of the little one.
Walking through the park
Although it's autumn and rain is forecast, it's acceptable weather here and we're lucky to have a little sun, so it's time to go for a walk with the stroller.
We prepare all the toys, which are for this trip, the car, microphone, music box (toys only for this age) and we go outside.
The child is attracted to everything that moves, any animal or bird will make him turn his head and pay attention. The more greenery and forest nearby, the faster his vision and color perception will be developed.
And, lo and behold, a few hours passed, hours in which not a single scream or complaint was heard.
When the mother appears, after a few hours, everything changes, the child brightens up, makes hand gestures and tries to say words that only he understands.
They are our children and our grandchildren, it is us!
