DANGER - BEWARE - CLEAR THE CLUTTER

RISING UP....STARTING TO STAND....

Time of chaos around the house as little one has discovered when there is an obstacle in their way, they can reach to it and climb upwards. ..what an amazing achievement. All these things lay dormant in the brain and are reawoken as they explore. They will hold on to all and any available surfaces to rise again and again. This can be very dangerous when there small tables that can topple over, cloths on tables that can be pulled down, possibly with ornaments, lamp's, glass things, etc on top of them. Seats of chairs that are lose can be pulled down by them and the baby can sustain serious injury, as their skulls are still very soft, and a minor knock can cause internal damage  or conccusion. And more than that fear....if they fall straight backwards, it hurts and pain causes fear....this fear will prohibit them from trying again, so their development is delayed. We are so inclined to concern ourselves with the physical, weight gains, stools, outer symthoms, but what about the internal growth....it is always totally ignored, no one takes any notice of what is happening in the mind, heart or soul of their child. We have to safeguard the area where the child crawls and learns to start walking....the subconscious mind is very interesting and it is amazing how many fears and phobias we pick up at this young age due to mishaps that cause pain resulting in fear if a particular object, pet or even parent....a personality and character is starting to grow and develop while the body is growing and it is very important to take this into account. We don't want seeds of fear causing a timid, fearful, withdrawn child.... We won't remember it as such....but it is planted in our subconscious and linger there for the rest of our life, unless we manage to find it and set it straight. Years later we will have a strong distaste for certain furniture, a cat that scratched us, or a dog that snapped at us, or a parent that shouted at us and we have no idea where it comes from...it's just there...we say we're born with it....we are not born with these things.....it was planted after birth...the baby doesn't know and needs to be gently reguided onto the right path.....not scolded and shouted at to make cringe away in fear......reguided with compassion, gentleness, understanding and patience....it is a tiny little being, learning, exploring, experimenting....guide the little child right., be with the toddler....MAKE THE TIME....THE REST CAN WAIT....MAKE THE TIME...IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO THE PERSONALITY OF THE TODDLER SO THEY MAY DEVELOP BALANCED....OUTSIDE AS WELL AS INSIDE....DON'T FORGET THERE IS SOMEBODY LIVING INSIDE THE GROWING FLESH THAT NEEDS AS MUCH TIME AND GUIDANCE AS THE BODY....DEVELOP BOTH TOGETHER.... ©

Tomorrow : the first steps......unless there is a detour...
