My son is 6 months 20 days old.He just started creeping.Is it late or early?When Ur baby started creeping?

Drink lots of water atleast 3ltrs per day.Avoid spices.Go veggy if possible.  

I think every ones view on it is healthy...as much as possible we are going to
avoid TV at all times with an infant, toddler, child, etc.  We have one TV
that we have been weaning ourselves off of slowly over time and it's much
better to not watch it, we find, especially after a long day at work when
you just zone out.  There will be a time where they're going to watch TV
whether you like it or not; you can only live by example. A good friend of
mine grew up reading books with his sisters & parents every night after
dinner; there was no (or very, very little) TV.  They weren't considered
weird or castouts by their classmates because they didn't watch TV; in these
times, there's so much content on the internet/web sites, TV, DVDs, movies,
etc. that everyone can craft their own personal taste - so maybe that makes
it even less of a problem nowadays to some extent??  Wishful thinking??

Welcome to the forum surely this is the most informative site I ever visited.Now im addicted to this.It is really helping to teach my son a lot.

I just finished reading "discipline with love ".

It is good to hear that ur going natural way.
We also use cloth diaper, giving massage to my son everyday before bath with coconut n gingely oil.
we too not using soap or shampoo.We use green gram powder as soap.
And for food we used to buy it from market organic.Now I started preparing it at home.
If u want here are some recipes.

 Method:
Soak Basumati rice for 4-5 hours.Drain water n spread it on the cloth  n dry them in the shadow.
Lightly heat the dried rice n dry fruits.Make powder(thick not fine).
Make paste of that powder with water.avoid bumps.
heat milk add sugar or jaggery to taste.

Hi
   There are so many early education centre in Bangalore like Mother-Toddler,Kidzee.The special one which is of interest is a school run by SSY where they admit kids from age 9 months.I am not having address n phone no as yet

We are thinking to admit our son there.I will update about rest of the information as soon as i get it.        

I play fast music when my son is playing.N play classical music when he is  feeling sleepy.coz it is soothing n helps in relaxing.

Though my son is not yet speaking but his first word was paaa when  he was 2.3 months.

If the book exhorts parents to encourage more natural play, there is no contradiction.

After all, how many minutes in a day of the child do we take for flashcards/ency. bits ...: hardly 15 mins.
That still leaves plenty of time for 'natural play'.

Isn't it more fashionable to scoff at the idea..
If there are some genuine concerns leading to -ve results from flashcards, we'd be interested in knowing.

2 books I've come across viz., :
" Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours"
and
"Discipline with Love" are good ones.

I agree we must not lie to them; because that amounts to manipulation.
Manipulation can backfire.

Probably we can try to give them some analogy; although I'm unable to come-up with immediately.

Follow-up questions may still arise in their minds; but they may be easier to handle - I hope.
