One thing that makes most parents crazy with regard to kids behaviour is their whining. Whining is mostly seen in toddlers and preschoolers, but if they are not helped out of it, it can become an unconcious habit even when they are grown.

Whining with two and three year olds is usually because of the frustration in that stage of development when they are not able to communicate their needs better. But there are some simple ways to help the kids grow out of it:

Distract them by singing their favourite rhymes, or giving their favourite toy or book and engage them.

Puzzles play an important role in early childhood education.They really help kids learn the art of putting pieces together to make a whole better one,in rather a playful way,which really helps them with their math skills latter.There are a lot of puzzles availabe for kids from age one.

Knob Puzzles

Knob Puzzles help babies from 1 year old with their ‘pincer’ grip and mathcing skills and knowing colours and figures.

Jizsaw puzzle

Jizsaw puzzles ,are available in wooden and cardboard pieces.These are usually a good picture based on children stories or movies etc.

Many research showed that learning music will enhance brain development of young children. Infants learn to communicate with song and sound even before they are born. It’s natural.

Getting started early on with music can be a great benefit to the child. Music can also be a form of psychotherapy for adults and children.

Many research studies suggests a relationship between music and spatial task performance.

Early music training would enhance spatial-temporal reasoning. A study of 237 second grade children and music, used piano keyboard training and newly designed math software to demonstrate improvement in math skills. The group scored 27% higher on proportional math and fractions tests than children that used only the math software.

Once started on solids and as the babies are growing they are so eager to sample what we eat.As we are so interested in knowing what to feed and when and how to feed,it is good to before hand as to what not to give them.

He or she may not be ready to eat certain foods till the first year.
Those foods include:

Honey

Doctors advice not to give honey to babies less than 12 months of age.Honey can have spores of clostridium botulinum ,which when digested can make babies sick by a toxin that causes botulism.therefore it’s safe not to give honey and foods containing honey to small babies.

Cow’s Milk

It is good to introduce apple as the first fruit for the babies.Though we get a lot of good ones ,ready-to eat from the store,it is always nice to give the babies fresh home-made foods whenever possible.

Ingredients:

• one apple
• one small cinnammon stick

peel the apple and cut it into small pieces.

heat a pan and put the apple pieces and cinnammon stick with a little
sugar(optional) and stirr it

when it is done take the cinnamon stick out.

cool it and serve it.

A very tiny piece of cinnanamon stick is enough,just for flavour.
