			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Childbirth is special time in woman life, when everything else stops existing and when there is nothing more important than you and your child. Thankfully, the vast majority of pregnancies and births go smooth and without any problems, but sometimes something goes wrong and we deal with “birth injuries”.</p>
<p><img style="display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/ss_MTN078.jpg" alt="birth" title="ss_MTN078.jpg" border="0" width="300" height="250" /></p>
<p><span id="more-553"></span></p>
<p>When we say “birth injuries” we mean any injury suffered by mother or baby during labour and we should understand that sometimes the effects can be devastating.</p>
<p>However, no matter how horrible and terrible the situation is, you should always know your rights and understand that if mother or baby is harmed due to medical negligence, a claim for compensation is possible.</p>
<p>If you has suffered from birth injury or clinical negligence, you should make a compensation claim and consult <a href="http://www.patientlawyers.com/">medical negligence solicitors</a> who will handle the case and help you to solve this situation.</p>
<p>These people help those who have been injured as a result of poor care or negligence. Also they will help you to get moral and psychological help. </p>
<p>Always remember that you are not alone!</p>

So, it is important to curb this feeling in them making them feel that they are loved the most by their parents. Read on to learn about 5 easy tips to make your child feel loved.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>First of all, use the words of affirmation. In other words, keep in mind that no matter how much angry your kids are, they are always listening to what you say to them. So, try to design your language in a way that they are convinced that you love them a lot.</p>
<p><span id="more-531"></span>
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Second tip is to spend quality time on a regular basis with your kids, so as to make them feel important in your life. Even in your busiest life schedule, work out ways to spend some quality time with your kids and give them attention.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Third tip is to express your love for your kids by gifting them things they wish to own. This is the easiest way to win your kids’ hearts, as kids love gifts and surprises especially from their parents.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Fourth tip is to make them feel loved with your physical touch. Just giving them a good night kiss can also express your endless love for them in a special way. You must try to fulfill their emotional needs and physical needs by expressing love.
<p><u></u><u></u>
<p>Last useful tip in this respect is to exchange roles with your wife. In other words, try to win their heart as a mother does by doing all their daily works in an interesting way.</p>

Child sexual abuse is a heinous crime, which is becoming commonplace of late. The most effective way to prevent it is to talk about it with your child. And it is the responsibility of parents to speak about this with their children. Though, it might be difficult, but it is very important.
<p>Sexual Abuse not only affects child&#8217;s physical self, but also destroys him/her emotionally.
<p>According to a study, out of the total cases of child abuse, 15 % of victims fall under 12 year’s age, whereas 44 % are under the age group of 18 years. The victims might not only be girls, even boys can fall victim of such a crime.</p>
<p><span id="more-488"></span>
<p>When a child becomes prey to such a crime, it brings radical changes in the child. These changes affect the child as well as his/her parents.
<p>To avoid this, parents must make prevention plans. They must speak with the child and try to speak with the child, to find out whom the children are meeting and listen to the child carefully.
<p>The teaching regarding child abuse should also be started early on. These teachings can be imparted through many ways. Like telling the child about their body parts, showing pictures, reading books. The children should also be taught about their private body parts and should be encouraged to speak about any uncomfortable situation they face. </p>

But it is seen that most couples experience some sort of gap in their intimacy or emotional distance after the birth of their child. At times, this gap also leads to some prolonged issues if not tackled immediately.
<p>Couples become excited after the birth of a child, and gets busy in taking care of the baby. They even do not mind the time that is devoted in the care and concern of the child. But, after a certain time, they feel the lack of communication and physical union between them caused due to lack of time.</p>
<p><span id="more-474"></span>
<p>This time constraint might appear due to several reasons like long hours of work to cover extra cost of the baby, or exhaustion due to lack of sleep, lack of intimate conversation, and so on.
<p>It is important that couples remain prepared for such kind of pressures in life after the coming of a child in their life and should take care of few things to help improve their intimacy.
<p>Keeping good conversation daily, sharing emotions, showing affection by hugging, holding and even touching each other, going for short outings like dinner by arranging someone to look after the baby, giving gifts, and having fun in each other’s company is all that you need to keep your intimacy going strong.
<p>These small concerns go a long way in making and strengthening the ties of intimacy shared by couples. </p>

Small children are seen to be sensitive towards change. And they are bound to demonstrate their pleasure or anguish towards it through their behavior.
<p>But the case is different in adults. Adults are rather vocal about their concern and also they understand the feelings they go through due to change. However, being small, children find it difficult to deal with such situations rationally and this affects their behavior. </p>
<p><span id="more-465"></span>
<p>The reason for such behavior among children may vary. Some such common reasons include, shifting localities or houses, transferring schools, arrival of a sibling, divorce of parents, or coming of a new partner in the life of their divorced parents.
<p>There can be other reasons as well like problems and issues faced at school or in the friend circle or many other such things. Although these things seem easy for us, but these might upset small kids and make it difficult for them to handle such situations.
<p>If your children are also facing such problems, than it’s time for you take the matter seriously. Try to explain them the situation and tell them that life doesn’t end here. There are many happy and exciting things in store in life. Give them reasons, which they understand, and thereby make it easy for them to deal with such situations.
<p>A little concern and an eye on your child’s changing behavior will let you understand their situation and you will be able to help them to cope with it.  </p>

However, mothers have always had this question of how to know when the child has been well fed. Breasts are no bottles and there is no way of knowing the exact amount of milk a baby has consumed.
<p>So, how do mothers know if the child is having enough? You cannot know for certain how much milk the baby has drank but over a period of time you will definitely know if your baby has had enough to drink. If the baby is gaining enough weight then you can make out that it is being fed well.</p>
<p><span id="more-382"></span>
<p>There are several other ways of knowing. A baby that is getting a lot of milk has a characteristic way of sucking and the rhythm is slow and steady. Also there are a number of prominent pauses during the process. Evert pause means a mouthful of milk. The longer the pause, the more milk it has in the mouth.
<p>A baby’s bowel movement gives a clear indication of whether or not it is getting enough milk. The more milk it gets the lighter the bowel movement becomes. A baby accumulates meconium during the pregnancy and it comes out during the first few days. But if it continues even after that it means it is not getting enough milk and needs to be treated immediately.
<p>Another way of knowing if a child is having enough milk is the number of times it wets the bed. If it happens 6 times a day, you can rest assure your baby is getting enough milk. </p>

<p>Everyone likes partying, especially kids. But kids get so exited about them that they tend to end up creating nuisance in parties. It is important that they understand the fact that they are in a social set up and behaving accordingly is important. Here are some simple steps to teach your kids how to behave in parties. </p>
<p><span id="more-347"></span>
<p>When hosting a party, you should tell your kid not to invite someone to a party publicly. This is true especially in the case of schools, where they need to invite everyone or should privately invite the select few. It is important that they remain very discreet about the party as those who have not been invited might get hurt. Parents need to make the kids understand that it is not polite. Kids should be taught to be a good host by teaching some basic manners like saying thank you whenever someone gives them a gift. Always encourage the kids to send thank you notes to the guests after the party is over.
<p><img title="kids-halloween-party" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="334" alt="kids-halloween-party" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/kidshalloweenparty.jpg" width="442" border="0">While going to parties there are a few things that need to be kept in mind. Acknowledging the invitation is very important. Incase you cannot go to a party you should make it a point to explain the reason for it to the host.&nbsp; Another important thing is being on time for a party. Being subtle is very crucial. Kids normally tend to be very blunt about things, so they need to be taught that if they dislike something they shouldn’t say it directly.</p>

<p>There are many cultures that practice different types of complex ceremonies before a child is born in order to welcome it. In fact, it has been found that connecting with the unborn baby goes a long way in developing the child’s personality. It has been established that bonding with the unborn is a great way to reinforce relationship with your partner and it better prepares you for the kid’s arrival. Here are some tips on how you can connect with your unborn child. </p>
<p><span id="more-341"></span>
<p>The unborn child sees bright lights and hears sounds; hence you should stimulate these senses by shining light, playing some music or perhaps talking to it. It has been found that the unborn reacts to these stimulations. It is a great way to connect with your to be born baby.
<p>Meditation helps pregnant women to focus on the minutest details of the child’s movements and reactions to various things. During later stages of pregnancy you can feel the movements that the baby makes. So, touch the lump and also make your partner touch it. You will actually feel your baby.
<p>Massaging your belly brings out significant response from the child. It normally reacts by kicking or moving around. Taking up a parental yoga class is highly recommended as it not only prepares you for delivery, it also helps you bond with the unborn child.
<p>Another thing, which especially is a great way for fathers to bond with the unborn, is to write letters to the kid, sharing their dreams, hopes etc. It is important that you connect with your child before it is born as it makes bringing up easier and also helps in shaping the kids personality.</p>

<p>The most basic thing is following the instructions in the warning labels. Many electric toys are found to be hazardous to kids and following the dos and don’ts ensure that your child is safe. You should also check if the toy has sharp edges or points, as these could be dangerous for kids who normally tend to put their toys in their mouths or eyes.

Another very important thing to be borne in mind is that kids tend to swallow things; hence you must be careful not to buy toys made of small parts. Besides, make sure that the toys are strong and do not easily break into pieces resulting in sharp edges.
<p>In addition to all these, you should take care of the fact that the sound coming from the toys isn’t very loud as it could harm the sensitive eardrums of your little one. Also ensure that the toy is not made of any toxic substance. And lastly, confirm that the toys you purchased are not in the Toy Recall Lists of the government.</p>

<p>Parents who have children with good table manners always have an orderly and enjoyable family meals regardless of whether they are at home or outside in a restaurant. Children may take some time to get used to the table manners, so it is important for the parents to be consistent and patient with them. </p>

<p><img title="table manner1" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="350" alt="table manner1" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tablemanner1.jpg" width="350" border="0">The key is to start teaching your child with table manners right from an early age. Initially, parents can make sure that the child has his meals without making too much mess and completes the meal sitting down instead of running around the house with food in his hands. <img title="table manner3" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="450" alt="table manner3" src="http://parentinguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tablemanner3.jpg" width="450" border="0">
<p>Parents must make their kids understand that they should not leave the table without asking to be excused. This is not a hard rule for even a three year old to understand. Children learn what they observe around them. Parents must show the kids the right way to use the knife, fork and spoon. Primary focus should be given on teaching the proper use of utensils to your kid.
<p>As the child grows older, parents can start teaching them more specific rules regarding table manners. The child must be made aware about some of the basic table manners like not to start eating unless everybody has been served, putting the napkin in the lap and not making rude noises when a family meal is in progress. Children should also be praised for their proper behavior as this would go a long way in reinforcing good table manners&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
