kid tantrum1

Babies throwing tantrum is a very common phenomenon and you can consider yourself very lucky if you have a baby who does not throw tantrums. Tantrum is often considered as a means by which babies try to get attention; however, it is not always the case.

Tantrums in babies may be due to several reasons like anger, frustration and the lack of knowledge to react to a particular situation often results in babies throwing tantrums. The frustration may arise due to hunger or thirst or may be when the child is finding it difficult to learn something new.

allergy1Food allergy is very common in babies and cerates a lot of trouble for babies as well as their parents. Allergy results in rashes in babies which is intolerable for them and sometimes also causes vomiting and diarrhoea. Babies under the age of 5 are mostly allergic to eggs, milk and peanuts. As a responsible parent we must look for any symptoms that the baby might show due to being allergic to certain food and make sure that they get sensitized to any allergen. Some babies simply don’t like certain food and that does not mean that they are allergic to it. Allergy generally runs down in the family.

crying_baby Every one of us must have seen babies crying. There is nothing strange or uncommon or for that matter anything wrong about it. The reason being that crying comes naturally to babies and the fact that they cannot speak, they use their cries to communicate to people around them. However, the amount of crying varies in babies. There is an old school of thought which says that crying of the babies should be ignored. However, it may not turn out to be the best advice as this means the immediate needs of the babies will not be looked after and the baby may also feel neglected, which in turn lead the baby to cry more.

baby talk

Whether you have a newborn baby or a 10-month-old baby, you will definitely want to understand baby’s language. It’s true that mothers have an inherent ability to understand what their baby wants but sometimes it may become difficult to understand why the baby is crying and what is he trying to convey. So, it’s important to know how to understand baby’s language.

For babies ageing between 0 to 4 months, sound is the major means of communication. He begins to learn the sound language and conveys what he wants through a sound. Like for instance if he is in pain he will cry non-stop and if he is happy he will smile or laugh aloud. At this age babies also tend to differentiate between happy, sad and angry voices.

school fear

It is more important for a child to get accustomed with a new situation and environment of the school for the first time. If the child is getting transferred from one school to another then it becomes little easier for a child to cope up. As in comparison to first school goers, these children are friendlier by nature and familiar with school concept.

But while it is for the first time to the school, then parents should take initiative to make your child comfortable with the pros and cons of the school. They should be little more sensible to make their child understand about the importance and fun of school.

Does your child wake up at midnight and start screaming or shouting? And when you go to pacify him/her the child would all the more start shouting loudly pushing you back. This is because the child is in his sleep and is not recognizing that the person he is screaming for is by his side only. This type of phenomena is known as night terror. Here the child becomes uncontrollable and devastated but it is just for few minutes and then the child is fast asleep again. The child won’t be aware of his last night’s terror the very next morning which is distinct from a nightmare.

Reason behind night terror

Night terror generally occurs between an age group of 3-5 years. This is because of the disturbance in sleep. These age group children generally sleep an hour or two in the afternoon and then if suddenly they stop taking a sleep during daytime results in a night terror. When a sleep cycle changes, part of child’s brain is forcing him to sleep while another part wants to remain awake resulting in a night terror.
