Breast milk is best for your baby

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for healthy growth and development of babies. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is the optimal way of feeding infants. Thereafter infants should receive complementary foods with continued breastfeeding up to two years or beyond. Good maternal nutrition helps sustain an adequate supply and quality of breast milk. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding, partially or fully, or of other complementary foods and drinks may have a negative impact on breastfeeding, which may be irreversible. Consult your doctor and consider the social and financial implications before deciding to use breast milk substitutes or if you have difficulty breastfeeding. Follow usage, preparation and storage instructions of breast milk substitutes or of other complementary foods and drinks carefully as improper or unnecessary use may pose a health hazard.

Unlock Your Child’s Right Brain Potential

Some children are blessed with more imagination and creativity than others. This often comes in the form of visual-spatial intelligence. If your child is a visual-spatial learner, he will be able to memorise the route home quickly, prefer drawing games, and even construct a house from block toys without using references.

A visual-spatial learner is more influenced by the right brain hemisphere. Also known as a right-brain learner, he excels at the creative arts and learns better through doing and experimenting. Conversely, lengthy instructions may tune him out. By taking into account his learning style, you can unlock your child’s creative potential.

Grooming his visual-spatial intelligence
You can help develop his talents further by providing stimuli. Rather than sitting him in front of a TV that provides one-way entertainment, why not provide him with puzzles (such as a Tangram) and other interactive games? Present him with tasks that make the most of his skill, such as drawing a simple map from home to the supermarket, or visualising your shopping list. You can even ask him how he can help – his answer might just surprise you.

Whenever you can, you should also provide varied resources for him. While many other children follow the textbook to complete their tasks, your child might use dictionaries, encyclopedias, magazines, or even the Internet. You should also only help him if he asks. Allowing him to solve the problems himself gives him greater confidence for future challenges.

Raising an imaginative child

At six, children start to be a bit more self-conscious, so pretending to play “pirates” in the living room might now take a backseat to reading and writing about pirates instead.

As a growing child, your toddler has a wide variety of needs. Besides proper nutrition and mental stimulation, a healthy child needs exercise. Regular exercise keeps your child in the pink of health and regulates his body weight.

Your child's social life all began with you. As the parent, you were the first to laugh at him and with him.
