Motivating Ideas on How Babies Feel When Their Mom Is Sad.

Babies are highly attuned to the emotional states of their caregivers, especially their mothers. When a mother is sad, a baby can pick up on various cues, such as changes in facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language. Here’s how babies might feel or react:

1. Empathy: Babies can sense their mother’s sadness and may feel distress themselves. They might cry or become fussy as a way to express their discomfort.

2. Attachment: Babies often seek comfort from their mothers when they sense sadness. They may reach out, cling, or want to be held close, seeking reassurance.

3. Confusion: Since babies are still developing their understanding of emotions, they might feel confused if they notice a significant change in their mother’s mood.

4. Stress Response: Prolonged sadness or stress in a caregiver can affect a baby’s stress levels, potentially leading to increased anxiety or irritability.

5. Learning Social Cues: Babies learn about emotions by observing their mothers. A mother’s sadness can teach babies about emotional expression and the importance of empathy.

Overall, a mother’s emotional state can have a profound impact on her baby, influencing their emotional development and well-being.

Motivating Ideas on Effective Parenting of Children in Formative Years.

Effective parenting is godly parenting. God has a purpose and plan for the family. God is sovereign in that the book of Genesis, the record of the beginnings, has it that "In the beginning God..." We read this in Genesis 1:1. This speaks to the fact that life is all about God. It is clear that apart from God there is nothing else. No God, no beginning; no creation. It is that simple. We must understand this as it also speaks to the fact that God assumes sole ownership - patent right over all creation. Hence, God dictates and decrees the way. We read in Genesis 18:17-19, the demands of God as he apparently boasted about his friend Abraham. That he was fully aware that Abraham would unfailingly direct his children and household after him to follow God's way by obeying all his commands. God was confident that Abraham would be a role model in children's proper upbringing. We thus realise that God's purpose and plan for the family is that the name of God should be tr...

Motivating Ideas on What to Condition A Child for in Effective Parenting of Children in Their Formative Years.

Teaching is the art of communicating with a person with the view of imparting knowledge of relevant concepts, precepts, ideas and attitudes in order to encourage behavioral changes in the recipient. Now, parents happen to be the primary teachers of children in this case. Hence, it is important to teach the teachers of our children what to aim at imparting in the young developing minds. In this instance, the word teaching as it applies to children in formative years actually refers to Conditioning. There is a concept by earlier psychologists that the child's mind is like a clean slate ( tabla-rasa ) and teachers are at liberty to write whatever they wanted to impart on the child's mind so as to achieve some expected results. On the surface, this theory appears attractive and has succeeded in catching the attention of earlier teachers too. But a very close look at the theory may reveal otherwise, unless the child had been designed as a robot by the creator, which, however, is no...

Motivating Ideas on Understanding the Dynamics of Child Growth and Development in Formative Years.

Child Growth and Development fall into a specialist area of psychology and one of the family life education books referred to in my course of preparatory studies for marriage, by Allan Petersen J., The Marriage Affair, devoted a voluminous chapter to the issue of how the child develops with respect to age and necessary character traits and behavioral patterns to expect and hence properly manage in order to achieve positive behaviors and characters in contrast to the natural bent based on proven research and informed experience. Natural bent refers to the tendency of the individual to do things the wrong way unless a corrective or disciplinary measure is applied to stop or minimize the unapproved behavior, character or action. Parents who allow their children to grow with such traits with the hope that they will drop them later in life when they become conscious of what is good or bad live to regret their failures or develop defense mechanisms to cover their ignorance of this ...

Motivating Ideas on Parents Joint Role in Effective Parenting of Children in Formative Years.

We have attempted to place the responsibility of children's upbringing squarely on respective parents. We have seen that parenting is a very serious business and that it requires certain maturity levels to qualify as a parent judging from the point of view of divinity as man is known to be a divine creature. We now have to go into concepts and ideas about the art of parenting. Parenting is largely a form of life-long mentoring of offspring with the view of imparting acceptable character traits, attitudes and behaviors into children. The chief person with the gravest responsibility in this case is the man of the house. As the head of the family, he is looked up to by the creator and the procreation for provision, direction and protection in all ramifications. Having been mature enough, he understands how to influence the child from birth for positive character traits and how to exert the necessary disciplinary pressures on the child for correction of tendency for natural bent.
