Learning to be a Parent

"Learning to be a parent is not a matter of adopting a certain set of attitudes, but of expressing one's personality in the task of responding flexibly to the child's needs." Sheila Kitzinger

Touch

In addition to being a way to create adult-baby emotional bonding, intentional touch has many physical benefits, including stimulation of the digestive, circulatory, and lymph systems. If Baby spends any extended time in a baby carrier, massage on his back aids his posture as well.

Singing with Baby

Singing is for everyone. Even if you don't consider yourself a "singer," you probably have a song in your heart. Fortunately, your enjoyment level in music-making is more important to Baby than your skill level. Baby learns best when he is emotionally involved in an activity; so every time you enjoy singing and music-making with him you are helping Baby experience music as a wonderful part of being alive.

Sing with Baby at home, in the car, or wherever you can. Try making up simple songs, silly songs, songs without words, songs about diaper changing or lullabies. Don't worry ab out how it osunds, but sing from your heart. Baby knows and loves the voices of those who are closest to him.

Parenthood

"Parenthood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow, too. Nothing else will ever make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his individuality--especially while you struggle to keep your own."  Elia Parsons
