Book Description
BATH TIME: – Nonslip bath mat is ESSENTIAL for safety – Bath thermometer. Always test the bath water temperature before placing your baby in the bath. *Tip* Get a good bath chair. Mothercare do a fantastic ergonomical chair where there is a piece of plastic between the baby’s legs preventing your baby from sliding off. Having both of your hands free will help you to bath your baby. – Sponges for bath *Tip* I like to use two different sponges, one for baby’s body and one for baby’s privates. If you are going to use two different sponges, it is important to get two very different looking sponges so not to confuse. Also replace the sponges every month or so. – Face washers. Not just for cleaning faces, they are also great to place over the baby’s stomach to prevent them getting cold while bathing – Oilatum. Oilatum comes as oil for the bath and a cream for after. Oilatum is great for dry skin. *Tip* I put a few drops of Oilatum in the bath every day to prevent dry skin. – Bath toys. There are foam alphabet pieces that stick to the side of the bath. You can make words for your baby. Rubber ducks and bubbles are always winners. *Tip* Be sure to clean and replace bath toys often as dirty water can get stuck inside and then contaminate clean bath water. – Disposable bed/change mats for on top of the towel when your baby is minus their nappy. It is much easier to cleanup if there is an accident! – Hooded towel. Babies can be wrapped up snug as a bug.

Time Out For Tots, Teens And Everyone In Between

Publisher: Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited
ISBN: 1775537447
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Practical and brilliantly helpful advice on how to give your child clear limits so that they can learn how to behave well. Time out is a vital parenting tool, and in this book parenting expert Diane Levy explains how best to use it in all situations for children of all ages. She believes children must be taught to experience and handle their emotions and they must learn self-discipline. Her two main parenting tenets - emotional support and limit setting - are crucial to an understanding of time out. The first responsibility of parents is to give children emotional support so that they will have the courage to have the experiences and do the learning that they need to become emotionally independent adults. The second responsibility is to set suitable boundaries and expectations so that they can safely tread the path from undisciplined babies to self-disciplined adults. Diane believes that time out is the ideal way to discipline children.

Time out of Mind
Author: Jo Thomas
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1524678074
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
An eye-witness account of the writers own experience of her journey into the mysterious world of an altered perception not induced by drugs or any stimulus other than the desire for reunion with the beloved other . . . Euridice rather than Orpheus searching the underworld. Mental illness tends to be a taboo subject. It has not often been described by the one who experiences but more often as a case history or as a subject for analysis. Two people from totally different backgrounds meet in 1949. They experience poverty, homelessness, social change in the 50s, and emerge victorious from their struggles. Suddenly, the man dies aged forty-four, leaving his wife with four children when the youngest was two. The womans journey to wholeness explored the labyrinth of madness, a loss of meaning that was further exacerbated in the setting of psychiatric hospitals. She was aware of deeper levels of human history, which emerged unbidden, vividly remembered, and retold as they occur in the context of the events described. Fantasy? As always, with every fiction, some sharp shards of truth are piercing the web. The poems, placed as illustrations in the text, were written at the time of the experience.
