Feeding a baby infant with baby formulas certainly can be easier and more convenient than breast feeding. But is it healthy? As most people now know, most health authorities – including the United States Surgeon General – agree that breast milk is the best choice for babies. Along with providing all of the nutrients that a baby needs, it also contains vital antibodies that can help the baby to fight off illness. In addition, studies have shown that infants who are breast fed experience a reduced chance of developing serious health issues like digestive problems, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, childhood leukemia and SIDS. Breastfeeding is also important to the health of the mother. Women who breastfeed their babies are less likely to develop type II diabetes, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and postpartum depression than women who formula feed. Some people also claim that breastfeeding makes it easier to lose weight that was gained during pregnancy. Along with the many health benefits, breastfeeding can also be an important part of a mother’s bonding with her new baby. Read the rest of this entry

How Children Learn Aggression
“Mine” is a word toddlers learn as soon as they learn to speak. Gaze deeply into the well of children’s behavior for answers to why children become aggressive. In terms of psychological aspects, every human being from birth to death settles into a world defined by borders. Infants sense the security of the borders of their crib. As they take their first step, a world of wonderment is before them. The borders are defined by a strange new word from Mum, “No”. To which, toddlers respond in kind: “No!”. Hidden in that single word is the beginning of the first phase of childrens introduction to aggression. The degree to which aggression expands is dependent upon the child’s nature, whether docile or actively assertive. Parents walk a fine line with toddlers and pre-school age children when attempting to teach them the difference between aggression and self-defense. The pre-school age child soaks up examples of adult and sibling behavior that is part of the daily environment, and uses these examples when interacting with others.
Childhood’s First Battle
Most pre-school age children understand things alien to their world. To them, their peers are aliens who act and react in ways they are unprepared to process. When the pre-schooler becomes aggressive, it’s an instinctive behavioral self-defense borne of invasion of their safe, secure environment. The aggressive child wants toys badly enough to step out of the bounds of their own territory to possess it, while the passive child defends the right to ownership. The two engage in their first childhood battle. Teach aggressive children that deprivation of their whims and desires is not necessarily self-defeating. Mums can do this by the simple act of distraction. Engage the pre-schooler in any distraction that requires their effort and attention as a regular exercise to reduce aggression in a constructive way. Try to visit wholesale toys shop and get enough toys for all your toddlers. Read the rest of this entry
