My question is this....

What is the 10 things you will suggest to new mommy's? (hep! bago may magtanong at mag isip di ako preggy just starting the topic)

[sanell]

[defect]

[Master J]

Mag breastfeeding for the baby not the tatay (inunahan ko na bago may magtanong pa)

Lot's of iron (during and after pregnancy) kasi ang daming dugo ang mawawala sa iyo.

Exercise the moment na pwede na according to the doctor.
 
more pa later

[joe D dried mango]

mahirap sa isang tatay ang mag intay kung kelan ulit sila pwede mag DO ng asawa nya lalo pa at bagong anak..

sa amin ang palatandaan eh nag lalagay ng dahon ng malunggay sa may pinto;pag nanlagas na ang mga dahon(natuyo at nalaglag) ibig sabihin pwede na ulit.FIGHT

how do you take care of a difficult child? do you believe in talking or spanking???

[defect]

talking. by giving teh whole scenario. like pros and cons. its worth a try

[scrubnurse]

talking. by giving teh whole scenario. like pros and cons. its worth a try

I totally agree, defect. My personal say on this is that it is really effective. We were raised that way. First, our parents taught us to LISTEN. We each said goodbye to sore butts by the age of 7. That was when no belts were involved in the discipline. It was always talking. The punishment always involved extra load in doing chores, or being grounded, or sometimes something was taken from us. (for me, taking my bmx away for a week was the ultimate consequence, but the next week, dad taught me to ride the motorbike!)

Whenever we did something wrong, dad or mom would always make us sit and they would  ask us if we were aware of our mistake. If not, a long lecture follows. If we were aware, we were asked to explain why we still did whatever we did albeit knowing it was not right. That way, both sides were heard and then we decided on the consequence. It worked for the three of us siblings, who are all registered nurses now.

Again, you should first teach the child to LISTEN to make this method effective.

[defect]

yup. that should do. although its hard to get a childs 100% attention. btu evryday practise will do.

[Madam H]

NEVER MAKE A PROMISE YOU CAN'T KEEP!

AND NEVER ASK THEM TO DO ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DO YOURSELF!

These are probably the two things most important things NOT to forget when when you are parents. When you take these lightly, that's when we produce individuals who have low self esteem, irresponsible, indecisive, and have very weak characters.

Children NEVER forget. If somebody tells you otherwise, they've never understood children! They ALWAYS remember! Ansd you break down the sense fo trust they have in you, in society and in other people as a whole if you make promises to them that you don't keep. Your words are etched in stone, to a child's mind, so even when you are busy multitasking, as all parents do, pay attention to your words, of they make or unmake your children in the future!

Children get confused if you ask them to do something, but they find out you won't do it, or worse, that you are not capable of doing it yourself. This is not to say you also make them believe you can do everything, and know everything, because you don't and you can't.

Everything lese, in life, children will take in stride. But the words you should never take for granted is their TRUST and the TRUTH!

Enjoy your kids... they grow so fast...

nowadays kids are in danger.

in the sense that they now have a world of their own.

the virtual world of interactive internet-connected computer games.

a world where violence is fun and accumulation of points increases bullets of the virtual gun.

sounds scary right. you should be.

what's most scary is that these computer games have become convenient nannys to keep the children in a state of hypnosis of immobility so they won't make a mess in the house.

sad but true.

spanking syempre;teka is this about the child?

[melbu]

Make the kids continue to feel useful and capable, and to maintain self - esteem and a sense of personal worth. It's good to involve them in decision making in their own little ways so that they will feel valued. Be positive and exercise encouragement too!

talking... Make conversation light-hearted and concentrate on what's good.

[Ms Demi Noor]

I never spanked my kids but my words probably hurt more. So If I could live my life again, I would probably have spanked my kids (pero hindi masyadong masakit na spank). Parang slap on the wrist lang kind of spank - just to let them know that they did something wrong. Afterall that is probably the reason why we were spanked ourselves.
