4 Things You Should To Do Keep Your Child Safe In 2019

Children safety is paramount at all ages. Parents and guardians must avail to provide. Children are not aware of what they should do; hence, the parents take responsibility for all their actions.

Recently, child accidents have surged. 2019 should be the year that you take a new step in ensuring that your children are safe and sound.

Parents need to take measures to ascertain their children’s safety in 2019. Below, we will discuss four of them:

1) Ensure That Your Car Has Working Safety Belts.
It is the responsibility of a parent to check if the car’s safety belts are in good working condition. Take action and show your child how to use it. If, for instance, your car gets into an accident, your child will not be subjected to severe injuries if he or she had been strapped in properly.

For toddlers, you can purchase a car seat, which will keep him or her safe. It will limit unwanted movements, which may confuse or distract the driver. You can read more on road safety rules by getting yourself this guide from Jersey City lawyer Randy Grossman. It will be easier for you to teach your children from a point of information.

2) Lead By Example And Be A Teacher To Your Child
As a parent, first get familiar with road safety rules and regulations and know when to apply them. For example, when crossing the road, look right, left and then right again before crossing. Your kids need to have this information.

3) Keep Your Children Away From Alcohol While Driving
When your child can drive, let him or her be aware that it is wrong to drive while drunk. Show him or her the real picture of how dangerous it is. For example, when you are intoxicated and driving, your mind is not in a stable state to concentrate on the road and road signs. It is risky, and it can lead to a fatal accident.

4) Driving Knowledge and Proper Documents
Along with road safety rules, ensure that your child does not drive without driving knowledge and legal documents. The documents should be with him or her during the drive. For example, while on the road, the traffic police check the driving documents, and if you do not have yours with you, you may be detained and charged for violating the law. Therefore, for your child to be safe, he or she should have papers while driving.

Parents are the security of their children and should be available for them. Take the very first responsibility and be a teacher. Teach them how to cross the road, how to behave while they are in the car and also how to check the road signs.
Remember that children of all ages should be safe, and as a parent, you are their eyes and instructor. Buy for them what they need to be safe.

For your child to be safe in 2019, lead them by example. Children learn from their parents and guardian. They do not forget easily.

5 Tips to Helping Your Baby Get On A Sleep Schedule

When your baby sleeps, she becomes more tolerant, happier and engaging. This is the time that you can rest.
But it can be much better if the baby sleeps on a schedule. That way, your day’s patterns will be predictable and you can accomplish much more. On the other hand, your baby will know what to expect at any given time. It will also be easier to leave her with a caretaker as you can provide specific instructions on how to care for the baby.
But how do you get your baby to sleep on a schedule? Here are helpful tips.

When to start
There is controversy over the best time to start putting your baby on a sleep schedule. Some experts suggest between 2 and 4 months while others advocate for 5 or 6 months. You will also come across those suggesting you start at birth or at one week.

Whatever you decide, it is important to keep in mind that babies start to develop a natural sleep rhythm and feeding habits at about four months old. When you see your baby get into predictable patterns, encourage him to follow the schedule.

Start small. Begin by planning the morning nap which happens not long after the baby wakes up. The nap may take only 45 minutes when you start. However, don’t assume the nap is over. You can give your infant a few more minutes to fall back asleep after they wake up from the nap.

Create a favorable atmosphere for sleep
Provide the baby with an environment that encourages sleep. Make sure the baby sleeps in a crib where the room is cool, dark and quiet. You can also have a bedtime routine that prepares her to sleep such as singing or changing the diaper.

Mommyhood101 gives you reviews of various products that your baby will need such as diapers, cribs, baby bottles, and others. These will help you to prepare your little one for their sleep schedule.

Keep Track
Your baby is likely to fall into a sleeping and feeding pattern as time goes by. Keep track of when the baby sleeps, wakes up, poops and eats. When you understand the natural rhythm, you can base the sleep schedule on it.
To help you log the daily routine, you can use apps, a computer spreadsheet or a simple pen and paper.

Rely on timing
Your baby’s sleep schedule will be successful if you employ proper timing. Let your 4 to 6 month old baby have a nap in the morning, another in the afternoon and then late afternoon. By the eighth month, the baby can take two longer naps in the morning and afternoon each going for 1 to 1½ hours. Your infant should be asleep by 6pm, wake up by 7 am and take the first nap by 9 am.

Keep going
It may take a while before your baby gets used to the sleep schedule. One day she sleeps just fine and the next she doesn’t. However, don’t give up. Just like any other milestone, you will experience progress and setbacks. Remember, babies are different so don’t compare yours with your neighbor’s.

Note, that in as much as you are following a schedule, the needs of the baby should come first. Just because its sleep time, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t comfort a fussy baby. If you think the baby is hungry, don’t withhold food simply because it is not feeding time or he ate an hour ago. Use your instincts to know what the baby needs.

Maghanda ng mga swerteng pagkain sa Media Noche. Ang mga maswerteng pagkain o handa sa New Year’s eve ay baboy, baka, o isdang malaki (huwag yung matinik na isda). Maganda din na samahan ng pagkain na gawa sa malagkit gaya ng Arroz o Biko. Huwag ka daw maghahain ng manok kase magiging isang kahig, isang tuka ka. Huwag ka din daw maghahain ng crab kase gagapang ka sa hirap.

Magsuot ng lucky colors sa New Year’s Celebration. The lucky color for 2019 is red, orange, and pink. Coincidentally, the Pantone Color of the Year is Living Color which is in the spectrum of red-orange.

Magsaboy ng maraming barya pagpatak ng alas dose sa New Year’s Eve. Mas maraming barya, mas matunog. Magkalat din ng mga barya barya sa loob ng bahay bago sumapit ang alas dose para pagpasok ng Bagong Taon maraming pera ang nakakalat sa bahay.

Buksan ang lahat ng ilaw sa bahay bago sumapit ang baong taon. Dapat maliwanag at bukas lahat ng ilaw sa bahay bago sumapit ang pumatak ang alas dose ng gabi.

Punuin ang lagayan ng bigas, asukal, at asin bago pumasok ang bagong taon. Maganda itong pampaswerte dahil ibig sabihin buong taon na puno ang lagayan mo pagkain.

Siguraduhin nakasarado ang mga bowl sa banyo sa pagpasok ng bagong taon. Kung walang takip ang bowl, kahit ang pinto ng banyo. Pwede mo din buksan ang tubig sa gripo sa pagsapit ng Bagong Taon para tuloy tuloy ang pasok ng grasya.

Mag ingay para itaboy ang malas sa pagpasok ng Bagong Taon. Loud music, loud sounds, i on ang alarm ng kotse, mag torotot kayo. Mag ingay kayo sa lahat ng sulok ng bahay ninyo. Ikutin nyo ang buong bahay ninyo na nag iingay.

Pray and wear a smile. Mag alay ng pasasalamat para sa taong nagdaan at mag baon ng magandang ugali para sa bagong taon. Maging masaya sa pagsapit ng bagong taon para mas lalo pa pumasok ang swerte sa buhay mo.
