Child Psychology was my major in school along with Early Infancy Education as my minor. However, I do not acknowledge myself an expert in the field of psychology, but I had a strong desire to be a good teacher as well as a good mother. I had every minute of expanding my two children, growing up and a girl. I read every recommended book via best-seller list on reviving children, child behavior from birth to teens, and all the health information available on the net feeding and childhood well known problems. I did this reading prior to making having children and felt I would be ready when my first child arrived and furthermore , would have that experience to assist when my second boy or girl arrived. Reading books on child is one thing but the actual task an additional!
Now, as a grandmother and senior, I am seeing a change in how women and men approach parenthood. They have discovered it more stressful compared to they originally thought. Being generations clear of new parents, I can see how their lack of edcuation prior to giving birth leaves many a new parent doubting their ability to raise their child with very little stress as possible. By doing so, some who succumb to social pressure choose parents may tend to oversimplify the problems involved. Crying babies, sleepless nights, poop in their baby diapers and fussy eaters is certainly not new in what all babies engaged in for ages. This will be very frustrating to many a new parent. However, I would love to ask women contemplating motherhood a few questions and give them aspects to consider think about before they embark on this life changing voyage:
1. Ask yourself self-assured in your children, especially infants now and when you were growing into adulthood.
2. Did you babysit in the event you were young? Did you want those times or was it only the money that interested you?
3. When you are a child did that suits you playing with dolls, hearing house, and always playing new mother role?
4. Prior to getting pregnant and while pregnant are you reading the actual literature on child formulating, care, and feeding?
5. Do you have talked to other mothers to listen to their everyday experiences in raising their children?
6. Is social the pressure from friends, relatives, or co-workers on conceiving affecting you?
7. Are you interested in cooking, cleaning house, being organized, and planning your awake hours within the fullest?
8. Is the pup interested in having little children? Will he be a help in parenting along side individuals or would all the responsibility rest on your spine?
9. Did your mother do the entire child when you are growing up or did your Father help? Can you pleased with how your folks raised you and would you emulate them?
10. Do you admire women who have children and work near the home? Do you think that is something you could simply do or do you look at it as being a handicap to manufacture a job and support a family?
These are just questions to ask yourself and to realize the your upbringing, your knowledge of children, mainly babies, will play a majority in your enjoyment of embarking on a family. It's not easy to improve a baby just as all this wasn't easy to give labor and birth, but once the baby arrives all the problem is forgotten. My prayer to another mother is to show patience, loving, and to remember those days when it seems your baby would not stop rips, or not sleep at night, or eat the sensible food you prepared for to be able to. They always outgrow it. I remember when I my first child who not give up his pacifier and it seemed like ages before he was potty trained and I anxiously mentioned this our pediatrician and the country's answer was: "Believe me he is just not using a pacifier while he goes to kindergarten accompanied by rest assure he hasn't been carrying an attach矇 case and not be potty trained". In time, all things pass!
For expectant mothers and those contemplating motherhood, I have some tips I will pass on in merge next post. In the meantime, relax and that fit this description time to prepare.
