Baby`s development in month 30

Many children will enrol in some kind of preschool around this age in their life. When choosing a preschool for your child, ask questions beforehand to ensure a good fit. There are many different kinds of preschool. Some schools meet all day, every day. Others meet two, three, four or even five days a week-half day or full day. Find out what your child will be learning. Will they be playing all day long or are there actual structured preschool lessons provided? Plan to visit the preschool before you enrol your child and see what goes on in the classroom at various times throughout the day. Do the teachers seem to genuinely care about the children in their care? How do the other children respond to the teachers and each other? Is the classroom fun, bright and welcoming? Look at the toys and see if they are in good shape and proper for your child to play with.

Make sure that your child is current on all immunizations. State laws require children to be up to date on vaccinations before entering into any type of child care center, preschool or even kindergarten. If your child does not have the necessary vaccinations, call your child's doctor to schedule them. Vaccinations protect your child and other people from getting serious diseases that once killed many people.

Children need to learn how to solve problems early on. By others teaching us how to do things, we have learned how to solve problems, keep problems from arising and fix things when they are broken. Help your child learn how to solve problems and fix things. The way that they will be able to do these types of things as an adult is influenced by how well they were taught as a small child.

Around this time in your child's life, you might notice that he is resistant to affection. Your once cuddly and loveable toddler does not want to be hugged and kissed anymore. Try not to take it personally and never force your child to accept your affection or hug/kiss you. It is not that your child is rejecting you, or your love, he is rejecting having his physical freedom limited. Continue to offer your child hugs and kisses.

Many children get frustrated when they are doing something difficult. Often times, kids take on much more than they can physically or mentally handle. Allowing your child to have some frustration and work through it, is a way to help her gain self esteem and develop problem solving skills. However, if you notice that your child is in distress, you can help her figure out a solution to her problem. Select her toys properly and keep in mind what she is capable of doing. By providing a can-do environment, you can help your child eliminate frustration. Provide a step stool for your child to wash her hands or brush her teeth. Buy your child Velcro sneakers so that she can close them on her own, rather than tripping on the shoelaces. Do not add to his frustration by criticizing him when he fails or expecting things that are not realistic. If your child wants to try again, let him. However, when he wants to quit, let him.

hi ladies Brooke is down for a nap so i thought id come on how is everyone?

Melanie07 - 1.6 hours ago
Exactly. And people wonder why kids today carry guns to school. If they are exposed to it they are going to want to try it. Look at all they copy you do even at this age.

Megan - 1.6 hours ago
yeah... thats exactly how i feel mel. i wasnt sheltered from the truth... ya know such as war, pets dying, etc. but i was sheltered from seeing peoples heads blown up and stuff like that. in my opinion... there is so much crap going on in the world... and while i know we need to know about it and be real... i dont think young children should have to see it and learn to be scared or afraid. does that make sense?

Melanie07 - 1.8 hours ago
It really depends on the child. I would never let a young child watch a scary movie. Kyle is 15. He just started watching scary movies about a year ago. It also depends on the movie. You don't want a 13 year old watching sex scenes. You don't want a 5 year old watching someone get killed. That is unless you like getting up several times a night because of nightmares. I do agree with not sheltering the kids but, only to a certain extent. Such as I am not going to lie to my children and say their animal ran away. I have told them the truth about when they die. There are ways of telling them things without going into to much detail. You play it by ear and adjust accordingly.

yeah... lol i told ricky if i cant even sit through the whole movie then they arent watching it either lol

i dont believe kids should watch horror movies at that age..theres only certain ones i even let my kids watch,it cant be too gruesome, have sex scenes etc, which a lot of them do, so if its more of an alien type movie or drama/suspense, thats different.so far i have weeded them out pretty good.but they wanted to watch SAW,TEXAS CHAINSAW, ETC i said NOOO

Megan - 2.2 hours ago
oh okay... i didnt realize. rick and i are pretty even on how we want to raise our kiddos, but this morning we got into a discussion about movies... i was raised very sheltered (no PG-13 til 13 and no rated R til 17/18) whereas Rick was raised VERY differently... he was watching horror movies at 5! so i asked him his opinion on our kids, and he's very against 'sheltering' our kids in any way. cuz i was sheltered and he thinks it wasnt good for me. it was the craziest conversation lol. something so small can cause such issues.

Like chelle said, it gets worse as they get older.

Melanie07 - 2.4 hours ago
Most parent have a diference in opinion. A lot of guys listen to their mommy. My hubby and I dissagree a lot on what is wright and what isn't.

Its-Chelle - 2.6 hours ago
i think a lot of parents differ in opinions and ways on raising kids..paul and i dont always see eye to eye, or agree on things in regards to the kids..but just watch when they get older like mine, they start to play one parent against the other..like my girls know how i feel about horror movies..but if pauls at the video store, he knows how i feel but they tell him its i said its ok..lol..

Megan - 2.8 hours ago
hey ive got an odd question... when it comes to raising your kids do any of you differ quite a bit from your partner/spouse? like for a specific example... movies... when theyre old enough to watch Horror movies or rated R movies?
