Family Tips

Wrong eating develops bad habits for all life
Problems with eating appear, as a rule, as a result of a wrong eating at a very young age. If you offer your child same food day by day, his or her tastes will not develop, and it the child will refuse any new food. Tastes of the child as well as other feelings are formed almost completely between one year and three. Parents should not give only useful food. Your child will not tell to you: “It is tasty!” Or “it is cooked perfectly!â€? Nevertheless, it is very important, that the child was pleased with the meal and that the meal was various as possible. Big attention should be given to different spices, so that the child has learned many flavoring sensations.

The daily routine develops time sense
Approximately to two and a half years, when the child already speaks, he or she starts to understand such notions as “before”, “after”, “yesterday” and “tomorrow”. In other words, while the child does not start to understand speech and to speak, he does not have time sense.

Daily routine is important not only to instill good manners in a child, but also to develop time sense. Some mothers teach kids to learn time by watch before children learn to count. The child does not understand value of hands; therefore it is useless to show him clock-hands and say: “Eight o’clock, it is time to go to bed”. The child goes to bed not because it is eight o’clock, but because it is dark, and because he or she wants to sleep. The regular daily routine allows developing abstract time sense. This schedule replaces clock to the child.
