Since the sister-in-law was pregnant with the baby, the whole person began to be anxious.
I have a bad appetite and don't want to eat, what should I do?
It's time to go to the B ultrasound, I'm really worried about what accidents will happen.
When do you start preparing your baby's clothes?
……
I understand her feelings, after all, this is her first time as a mother, and she has entered 30+, and she will soon be an advanced maternal age.
In addition, she had had an unsuccessful pregnancy experience before, and she had been sad about it for a long time. In the years that followed, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, especially her, did not run to the hospital less, bent on conceiving a baby to make up for the regret that the first baby could not be kept.
Finally, after 5 years, the sister-in-law was pregnant with the baby again.
How could this not make her ecstatic and cautious?
I advised her to relax, go to a book, take a walk, or get some sleep.
She said yes, but she still couldn't help but think more, from how to give the child prenatal education, to how to hold the child, how to achieve breastfeeding, how to care for the baby, what vaccine to get, whether to go to the early education class...
The sister-in-law thought about it for a long time and was very careful.
I encouraged her, good idea, and it seems you need one-stop parenting coaching.
Sister-in-law said, one-stop parenting? Is there such guidance?
Of course, you can have a copy of the American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Encyclopedia. I say.
I happen to have this book at hand, and I sincerely hope that this book can help my sister-in-law successfully pass through pregnancy, give birth to a small baby smoothly, and become a good helper on her parenting road.
When I sent pictures of the book to my sister-in-law, she was startled by the thickness of the book.
"Such a thick book, you can feel its thickness by looking at the pictures." The sister-in-law sighed.
Yes, the book is more than nine hundred pages long, with more than a dozen pages in the table of contents and the keyword index at the back.
Before introducing this book, I felt compelled to introduce the American Academy of Pediatrics, an organization of 67,000 pediatric health care physicians, pediatric specialists, and pediatric surgeons dedicated to the health, safety, and well-being of infants, older children, and adolescents.
Listening to me say this, the sister-in-law was more interested. Before she was pregnant with the baby, she did not run to the hospital less, and she had a lot of dealings with doctors. In her opinion, the parenting encyclopedia organized by doctors sounds more scientific.
The reason why this book is called the Parenting Encyclopedia is because its content is very comprehensive. It starts from pregnancy, from pregnancy examination, pregnancy nutrition, to how to choose the mode of delivery, as well as basic newborn care and health, breast milk and formula feeding, basic care of infants and young children, growth and development, early education and care, etc.
For example, it details the growth and development of children from 1 month to 4-5 years old, basic care, behavior, health observation, vaccination, safety examination, etc., so that parents can inquire and have a good idea of their children's growth.
In the growth and development of this item, it details the appearance and growth of children, motor development, visual development, language development, cognitive development, emotional and social ability development, it can be said to be very detailed.
I randomly sent a few pictures, and the sister-in-law said one of them resonated with her.
The book says:
You're looking forward to having a healthy, smart child, and at the same time, you're planning for his future success. You may have occasional worries, occasional doubts, especially if the fetus in your belly is your first child, or if there have been some minor problems during this or previous pregnancy.
This is simply a portrayal of the sister-in-law's real experience.
As a mother, I especially like the record and parenting points of the child's growth and development in this book, which is detailed, scientific and very practical.
For example, for children aged 4-7 months, important changes are taking place in their bodies. He learns to coordinate various sensory abilities (sight, touch, and hearing), and greatly enhances his motor skills, beginning to grasp, turn over, sit up, and possibly even crawl.
Based on these perceptions, parents can prepare toys for their babies that are right for them.
In this regard, there are also warm tips in the book.
For example, plastic or resin mirrors that are not easy to break, ragdolls that can make sounds, toys that are easy to grasp with your fingers, and rattles.
For example, when a child is 2 years old, physical and motor development begins to develop slowly, but cognitive, social and emotional aspects change dramatically.
Children enter the "terrible 2 years old" and like to say "no", this is because at this time, on the one hand, they are dependent on their parents, on the other hand, they are eager to declare their independence. Swinging between these two emotions, they sometimes pestered their parents, and sometimes they would work against their parents, making them distressed.
In terms of sports, 2-year-olds can skillfully climb up and down, can easily run up, and the movements are coordinated, they can take off some of their clothes, they can jump off the ground with their feet, and so on.
Their small hands can draw vertical, horizontal, and circles with pencils or crayons, they can turn pages and pages, they can build towers with blocks, and they can turn door handles.
They like to play role-playing or imitation games, imitating adults and playmates.
Based on the characteristics of children's growth and development, the book also gives a number of suggestions.
When a 2-year-old loses his temper, whether his parents reprimand him or allow him to express his emotions and find ways to help him, there are ways to deal with this.
How to arrange the diet and nutrition of 2-year-old children is more reasonable, how to take care of teeth and mouth, how to carry out toilet training, and even parents want to have another baby, how to explain to 2-year-old children, the book has been introduced.
The book also mentions the "Golden Rule of Disciplining Young Children" for parents to learn.
It can be said that the introduction in the book is very comprehensive about the parenting of 2-year-old children.
It can be said that whether it is in newborn care, breastfeeding and the addition of complementary foods, the growth and development of children at various stages, and how to cultivate children's behavior habits and deal with children's health problems, this parenting encyclopedia can provide credible and feasible methods and guidance for new parents.
In short, such a scientific and trustworthy parenting encyclopedia, I believe it can provide one-stop parenting guidance for the sister-in-law.
After listening to my introduction, the sister-in-law can't wait to learn.
I hope she can successfully pass the pregnancy, give birth to the baby healthily and safely, and look forward to her successful parenting path.
