Teach Your Baby Talk

Here are few things that you can do to assist your baby’s language and communication development:

1. Respond if your baby is crying.
Babies also learn much about communication when they are crying. In the first year age, crying is really a center of their communication system. When you respond to their cries, our babies learn and realize that they will be listened to and that the world is a safe place where their needs.

2. Make conversations with your baby.
Young babies start the skills of conversing via taking turns. babies coo, look at you and than wait. You coo and so babies will coo back. In that really simply interaction, babies practice the structure of conversation and babies learn that babies will be responded to while babies reach out to communicate.

3. Make Talking  with your babies naturally through your time with her or him.
The babies will learn receptive language and communication skills long before babies learn expressive things. Your babies will understand what you are saying to her or him well before he or she is able to speak or talk  many words. While babies grow up in a language with rich environment, they learn to speak naturally.
When you talk to your babies regularly and listen to them, babies will learn language readily .
Modeling language is really your best teaching and useful tool. Babies and children do not have to be "made" to speak or talk correctly. When you become the correct model language, so don't worry they will gradually learn grammar properly.

4. Just try extend their language and describe what you see their doing.
It is something parents instinctively do with their children. While your babies reach to your nose, cooing, you can say, It’s my nose. Will you grab it with your little hand? When they turn toward the sound of the door opening, you can say, You heard the door opening. Is that your brother coming in? When the cat approaches and they start gurgling and kicking their feet, you can say, Oh, you look Tiger coming. You look excited to look your fuzzy cat or Hi Tiger cat. Lisa is so excited to see you are coming.

5. Start talk to your babies about what you are doing with them.
It really could feel awkward to talk to a babies who don’t understand you, but they need the repeated experience of hearing you are talking in order to they get understand your language.
Please before you pick her up, you could reach your hands towards her and say, I’m going to pick you.
In this way they will learn language and communication in the rich context of experience.
During diapering the baby you can also say, Here is your dry diaper. I’m lifting up your bottom so I put it on you.
This not only will help their learn language skill, it also helps them learn to expect what will be come next and participate more actively in the process for your babies.

6. Start talk about anything your own actions as well.
Engaging in self-talk around your baby teaches their language skill and help them make sense of the world. Describe what you are doing as you do it: I am steaming these carrots for your lunch. and then, I will grind them up and than so you can eat them. And also, I am going to work. Dad will stay with you today.

7. Just sing songs or telling them good stories.
Songs and stories are really an important part of learning language and communication skill.
Because they are repeated and repeated again, children will have many chances to learn them over time. Songs, stories, finger plays or movement activities will teach children words that have physical clues attached. While babies have learned a clapping song, they may ask for it by clapping their hands, even before they know how to say, I want to sing with the clapping song!

8. Reading books for them.
There are so many wonderful baby books available in the store.
Looking for books with photos or aesthetically pleasing pictures or drawing. Children do not need cartoons as their only pictures. Also, looking for books with rich, varied or poetic language.
Some babies will lie on their backs with you on the floor looking up at a book for several minutes at a time. Others will wiggle and squirm.
There is no magic age to start reading to children. It should be done as soon as they can enjoy it. Try it periodically to see and than observe if your baby is interested.

Any body know ? " What Self-Esteem is "

Anyway we share here, Self-esteem is collection of beliefs and feelings that we have about ourselves, our self-perceptions.
How we describe ourselves, it influences our motivations, attitudes, and behaviors and than it affects our emotional balancing.
Patterns of self-esteem it begins very early in our life. I will give one example, a toddler who will reach a milestone experiences a sense of accomplishment that bolsters self-esteem. Learning for rolling over after many dozens of unsuccessful attempts teaches a baby a "can-do" behavior.

The basic concept of success is following persistence begins very early. As kids try, fail, try again, fail again, more and more and then finally they will succeed, they will develop ideas about their own abilities.
At same time, they are making a self concept based on interactions with other persons. It is why parental involvement is basic to helping or encourage kids form accurate, healthy of self perceptions.

In another word Self-esteem also may be described as feelings of ability combined with feelings of being loved.
Kids who is happy with an achievement but do not feel loved might eventually experience low self-esteem. For example kids who feel loved but is hesitant about their own abilities may also end up with low self-esteem. Healthy self-esteem comes while the right balance is reached correctly.

On the other sources, many studies have shown that loving, hugging, interacting and playing with your child has a strong effect on developing his intelligence and make your kid more smart.

4.  Just let your kid play so they will learn and grow nicely
When your kid plays, he/she is making the foundation for his emotional skills, social, physical and intellectual. When he/she plays with another kid, he/she learns to impressions, combine ideas and feelings with other kids’ experiences and opinions. 

5.  Try to motivate and encourage your kid for doing exercise
Physical exercise does not only cause your kid strong, but it will also makes your kid more smart!  Exercise increases the flow of blood to the brain and builds new brain cells.  Exercise is good for adults' mental sharpness, but it has a more long-lasting effect on your kid’s still developing brain.

Studies have explained that listening to music can boost memory, learning, motivation and attention.  It can also lower or avoid stress that is destructive to your kid’s brain.  Learning to play a musical instrument has an effect on the brain’s proportional thinking and spatial temporal reasoning that lay the foundation for abstract math.

It is a correct that kids always learn by modeling adult’s behavior.  If he/she sees you engaged in reading books, writing, making music, or doing creative things, he will imitate you and following what you are doing, and in the process make himself smart.
Try to become good and proper model for your kids.

8.  Don't let your kids watch TV or make limitation is better
It is better way if your child should not be watching TV before two year age.  Letting your kid watch too much TV takes him/her away from doing activities that are more important to his/her developing brain, like playing, socializing with people and reading story books.

9.  Give your kid smart computer games so they will be developed fast
Friendly computer games guide your kid about letters, math, music, phonics and many other things.  It also develops his hand-eye coordination and prepares him/her for future’s technology.  Most importantly, he/she learns these while he/she plays.
Having fun and learning at same time is the best method for your kid to learn and study.

10.  Feed your kid with right nutrition food
Give the correct food to your kid is important to making him/her smart.  Giving your baby the perfect nutrition should be started since you are pregnant.  For a grow kid, a rich protein (example : egg, fish, meat, soya bean) will improves his thinking, alertness, and attention.  Carbohydrates also will give his/her brain the fuel which is used in thinking(brain). 
The best ones are those that is coming from whole grain and fruits.  Processed carbohydrates and sugar have bad effects on attention span, focusing his/her capability and activity level. 
Vitamins and minerals are also really important for kids so it is necessary to.
