Bath Time Fun

BATH TIME FUN

Learning through play is definitely one of the best ways in which to teach your little toddler. This week we are going to focus on BATH TIME and the fun things you can do with your little one to help stimulate and develop.

When I think back to when my little ones were small, I always find myself thinking back to bath-time! It was definitely one of my most favourite times of the day....

Water can be such fun and pretty much begins from birth. So simply things such as pouring water from one cup to another can turn a nightmare situation into an absolute tranquil and soothing experience for you and baby. Plus it is constructive as you are in effect helping to stimulate their hand-eye coordination.

I have put together some fun Hints & Tips for you to try with your little one...To view these hints and tips click here

The Safety of Our Children

The Safety of Our Children

Being a parent is one thing - living in South Africa is another. It simply tears at my heart strings when I read each day about children being abused, neglected, abducted. Families being hijacked etc. Sure it happens all over the world, but my concern is right here, right now, where I live, where I raise my children.

Unfortunately our kids are being exposed to this on a daily basis too and as such I worry that subconsciously they are being affected. So how do we overcome this? Do we keep them sheltered - turning off the radio when driving them to and from school each day? Or do we explain to them the right and wrong of each story being aired?

I tend to go for the latter - whether this is correct or not, I only hope that my parenting skills will prevail. That by explaining and proving them with as accurate yet tactful explanations, they will grow up to be wiser and aware of their surroundings - whether good or evil.

I also believe that it is imperative that we as parents ensure that our children are well aware of the basic things such as their parents cell phone numbers, home address, emergency numbers. But more importantly that they know what to do in case of an emergency. Who to call etc.

It is the least we can do to ensure the basic safety of our children.www.babeeze.co.za
