 Ten ways to love your baby
Loving your child doesn't just mean kisses and cuddles but taking
care of his health and giving him time, for instance! So, take heart this
Valentine's there are so many ways you can show your love for your little
one, here are 10 to start with!
-
Cut your child’s health risks by staying away from drugs, alcohol
and tobacco.
-
Set time aside to read to your child and help his or her brain develop.
-
Talk to your health visitor to ensure your child’s immunisations
are up to date.
-
Baby-proof your home – make sure medicines are locked away and
that cleaning supplies and small objects are out of reach.
-
Make sure your child is safe when travelling – check car seats
are installed properly and older children are buckling up in the back.
-
Stay a little longer at your child’s nursery or childminder
to make sure both your child and the care-giver are happy.
-
Encourage your child and raise self-esteem. 'Well done, you can do
it' and 'what a big boy/girl', will show how much you care and what
an interest you take.
-
Provide structure to your child’s day – limit TV, enforce
bedtimes and help your child respond by providing an easy routine.
-
Make sure you say I’m sorry, please and thank you in front of
your child – how else will they learn?
-
Give your child an extra hug, kiss and I love you on Valentine’s
Day.
Where to next?
