Hi nikita
           I hope this will help u.Have u heard about Yoga(i hope u heard) it really helps in weight loss n weight management.There is one more section in Yoga called "Pranayama" i.e breathing technique.u donot need to spend hrs together just 30 min per day will be of a great benefit.But one thing either you have learn it from an experienced teacher or from DVDs.All the best.

We recently got to know some of the prescribed exercises for different stages for babies upto 6yrs. old. grasping reflex, They are mostly the same prescribed by Doman. viz., grasping reflex, swingling, brachioation, balance and gymnastics.

I'm starting off our son now and interested how others' experiences has been?

I've been into yoga practice for the last 8 yrs. and my flexibility is 'good' -I can say. However post-pregnancy, I've not been able to be regular.

My husband makes it a point not to miss his daily dose of 1-hr practice.
The other day when he started his sun-salutes followed by headstand, my 6-month old son wore a puzzled look on his face. Although it may be a little premature to predict, we hope(and quite sure :-) ) he too will be greatly interested in yoga.

As for the age to begin with, to initiate any serious practice, I believe an age of 5/6 would be good. Because for a regular and serious practice, there are some restrictions on how and when one can begin - like time of the day, meal-times....etc. Too young also may not suit here.

A rejoinder to my earlier post:

There is a thin line between having a vision and 'Imposing our wishes' on kids.
As others pointed, what they want to become must be best left to them.

But we can sure invoke the power of positive thinking to bring in positive values. Isn' it?

[Baby Minds"]

I think my point was taken in quite a different direction.

I was thinking of the power of mind and if we can extrapolate the same.
To quote the source of the idea:
Authors Acredolo and Goodwyn in "Baby Minds" write:
The earlier a mother thought her baby would be aware of the world, the more competent the baby grew to be.

Now: suppose as a parent I always thought of my baby that he is strong like Hanuman and treated him so, would he not grow up stronger than most kids/people?

Many a times I felt the power of parents' thinking can bring out such things.

What do u think?

that was a good one,

A refreshing way to learn and teach.

you could get some pointers from the "Continuum Concept" where Jane Leidloff advocates that babies desire being in the midst of all human life and they'll learn everything in our society so quickly that they even become economically productive by age 4/5.

The 20000 words that we are concerned at this stage will be no issue at all if you follow continuum!!

You have a baby who is now at 6-months and your close friend has invited a few common friends for a party.
There is no one else at home.

What would you do? and how.

It is said that to give babies and toddlers positive messages and firmup their self-esteem, sleep talk is a very effective technique.

Has anyone tried? What have the results been like?

Although lot of hype has been created about stemcell banking, I believe it is still in research stages. Once its efficacy is proven, it must be made affordable.

Then I guess the new parents can take the plunge :-)

We did not because in India it is not yet affordable for the majority.
