Mencari persamaan antara 2 beradik nih sewaktu hari pertama mereka menjengah dunia ini.. Setelah membelek2 gambar-gambar Tasnim sewaktu baru dilahirkan ummi paparkan semula gambar ini dan gambar adik Muadz yang ini. Gambar Atas & Gambar Bawah perasankah blanket yg menyelimuti mereka sama...? Hehe ummi pon baru perasan aritu...bezanya yang dipakai Tasnim adalah kepunyaan hospital tempat Tasnim dilahirkan. Tapi yang dipakai adik Muadz adalah kepunyaan adik~~-beradik~~ Tasnim & Muadz yang lain nnt, InsyaAllah. Ummi beli online di sini.

28hb April 2009

Mlm tu, after maghrib ummi dah duduk depan laptop..menerjah beberapa web, menyemak itu-ini. acara print-memerint, membalas beberapa email customer (http://deenarts.blogspot.com/), smp pukul 11 mlm...Tidurkan Tasnim & diri sendiri-Abi...hmm dah lame selamat bermimpi.

29hb April 2009

Pukul 1 pagi terjaga...oppss x solat Isya` lg ummi rupenye mlm tu...perut terasa mcm lain mcm...
Tertidur semula (Isya` blom lg tu...)
Terjaga semula (aik, xsmp setengah jam pon ummi tertidur semula...terjaga sebab perut terasa mcm lain mcm)
Tertidur & Terjaga semula...smp pukul 2++ pagi..terjaga sebab perut terasa mcm lain mcm...
Dlm fikiran dah mula fikir mcm-mcm... "adik nak kuar skrg ke...?" teringat senarai dlm kepala-planning yg dibuat "alamak, meja kat school pon xberkemas..."
Sambil tu, buat senaman ringan...berjalan-jalan di dalam bilik, kekadang merangkak...ataupon duduk sambil menggunting ABC utk tampal di kelas esok...cadangnye...
Ummi, bangun ke bilik air...Sah, mmg adik dah xsabar nak jumpa KakLongnye-due on 15hb Mei (Show/tanda sudah kelihatan)
Kejutkan Abi...senang pulak kejutkan Abi mlm nih :p dgr kata "mcm nak bersalin dah..." mata terus cergas...
Ummi bersihkan diri & berwudhuk-solat Isya`.....mohon pada-Nya, dipermudahkan urusan...
Kejutkan opah & atok Tasnim, sambil Abi di bilik air..ummi mengemas beg utk di bw ke hospital...

Pukul 3 pagi - on the way ke Pusat Rawatan Ar-Ridzuan, Ipoh...
Dalam kereta Ummi sempat jamah Air Zam Zam, Air Selusuh yg atok buat & jugak sebiji kurma...Alahai, sudah la mlm td xmkn nasi...mkn buah je...risau pulak xde tenaga nnt...menyesal pulak xmkn mlm td...(Kalo ku tahu...)

Pukul 3.30 pagi - smp di Pusat Rawatan Ar-Ridzuan...
Nurse amik kad, trus masuk ke bilik rawatan...tukar baju-amik suhu badan-Cardiotocograph ( CTG ) Monitoring [CTG Info] -sambil menahan sakit yg rasenye semakin kerap... ditambah pulak dengan aircond yg sejuk...bertambah la seram sejuk Ummi :-)

Selesai CTG, trus ke labour room...memandangkan bukaan sudah hampir 4cm...(menambahkan seram sejuk Ummi-huh! mcm first time nak bersalin aje...tpkan xsama sakitnye, lgpon dah hampir 3thn berlalu...mane nak ingat rase sakitnye mcm manekan...blurr!!)

Abi sentiasa disisi...sempat bacakan surah Maryam utk Ummi yg kesakitan...

Pukul 4.30++ pagi - Air ketuban pon mengalir keluar...huh!
Sakit pon semakin kerap...nurse byk menolong meringankan kesakitan...thanks to Abg jgk...kerana sama2 seram sejuk di Labour Room :-)

Pukul 5.15++ pagi - Dr. Raofah smp di Labour Room...

Pukul 5.45 pagi - Adik KakLongTasnim selamat dilahirkan..Alhamdulillah...
Semasa Dr Raofah melakukan tugasannye, sempat jugak dia berbual-bual dgn ummi, bertanye itu & ini...wlpon letih & mengantuk..kusahut jua bualan Hjh muda tu...(ku kira masih belum melewati usia 40). Abi sudah hilang tika itu...kukira sudah mendail nombor-nombor penting utk dikhabarkan kelahiran heronya ini...(ke sudah pengsan di lantai :p)

Selesai cuci-mencuci ummi&adik, Abi menjalankan tugasnya yg pertama buat heronya...(ingat lg ke x cara pegang baby...?) Ummi terus dibawa ke ward...mcm jauh je perjalanan ke ward tu...mata macam dah lali2, badan semacam letih...

Di ward, Abi solat subuh...ummi terlena, sehingga dikejutkan nurse...hantarkan sarapan, adik pon dihantar pada ummi utk disusukan...ummi masih kekok pegang adik ditambah dengan keletihan+kemengntukan yg belum diqada`...

Nurse dtg lg utk berikan ummi ubat & letakkan adik di nursery supaya ummi boleh berehat...

Jam 10++ pagi
KakLong, Opah & Atok smp di hospital...KakLong tersangat teruja nak jumpa adik... Seketika, Atok pergi kerja...ade mesyuarat. Ummi nak ke toilet...dibantu nurse.

Jam 1++
Abi nak balik solat zohor & mandi-manda, Tasnim & Opah akan balik bersama Abi...ummi & adik mungkin dibenarkan pulang petang nnt...
Tasnim menangis kuat nak suruh bw pulang adiknya...smp nurse tlg pujukkan...
Dalam car smbg nangis lg...smp tertido...(cerita abi..)

Jam 6++
Kami semua pulang ke rumah...barang utk adik, semua masih belum disiapkan...tilam & bantalnya masih tersimpan atas almari...mujur baju2nya sudah ummi basuh--blom lipat je...
Di rumah, Tasnim lagi teruja...Ayman dtg...diberitahunya.."Anim ade adik..." Ili dtg pon ayatnya sama, "Anim ade adik..."

19 Mei 2009 - 3 years old

Lupe pulak pasal KakLong...pada hari entri ini ditulis, usia kakLong menjangkau 3 tahun (19 Mei 2009) ...dah besar amanje ummi (kadang-kadang ummi panggil gitu...amanje). Atok hadiahkan bola tajam RM3.99 (dah lame nak bola tajam mcm Ayman) Abi pulak katenye nak hadiahkan diapers XL utk Tasnim-diapers L dah xmuat la utk Goodgirl (kadang-kadang ummi panggil gini...Goodgirl) yg dah besar panjang...

Actually, KakLong dah lame xpakai diapers waktu siang...seingat ummi mase cuti after ummi abes praktikal dulu ummi ajarkan Tasnim (potty trainning) bgtau bl nak Wee-wee & Doo-doo n ajarkan supaya buat 2-2 perkara tu dalam toilet...

Hmm di awal dulu, adela 2-3 kali jgk Tasnim terlepas...dia dok ralit main-main...ummi pon lupe nak tanye...sedar-sedar dah mengalir je...atas karpet pon penah, jd Tasnim didenda basuh karpet tu (dgn bantuan Abi...)...

So, diapers XL tu utk pakai waktu mlm je...hmm walaupon skrg nih, Tasnim selalu terjaga bila dia nak Wee-wee...tp mcm xharap je if xpakai diapers...dan selalunye ummi akan suruh Tasnim bertinggung & wee-wee je dlm diapers tu... (hmm malas nak bw g toilet punye pasal...) Dia pon akan wee-wee sambil pejam mate...

Tasnim pon sudah mintak kek Happy Birthdaynye...nnt la lepas pantang ummi buatkan kek coklat kegemaran KakLong ye...(selalu nyanyi happy birthday then tiup pelita utk tuam adik....

Bubur Nasi Tasnim

2008-06-22T09:46:00.009+08:00

Bubur nasi kegemaran Tasnim...

Carrot if potong halus-halus gitu mmg dia mkn...tp bile potong bulat-bulat....dia ckp...bukan sayur...

Tasnim mmg suke makan sayur...hmm sedang org lain dok sibuk-sibuk memikirkan cara cane nak buat anaknya makan sayur...ummi rileks aje....sbb Tasnim mmg suke makan sayur...aspecially sayur hijau...sampaikan cili hijau dlm nasi goreng pon dia nak jugak...puasla memujuk...cili pedas, kanak-kanak mcm Tasnim xbleh makan...

Hmm tapi, ada sekali tuh...abi kasi Tasnim makan nasi goreng lebih ummi...(yg sememangnye ada cili hijau yg agak pedas...) Abi pon main kasi aje...xtgk pon dulu nasi tuh....abi pegi mandi, Tasnim makan sambil tgk Animal Planet....ummi masak di dapur....

Tetiba...Tasnim dtg ke dapur...sambil pegang telinga....airmata dah meleleh, "ummi...pedash" alamak anakku tergeget cili....dlm kekalutan, ummi kasi air tasnim xmo...kasi honey pon dia xmo...then kasi aiskrim!! mmg favorite....(nasib baik ade stok...huh!)

Selain bubur nasi, Tasnim suke jugak makan bihun & mee...xkire la goreng ke berkuah ke...sume dia santap...memang xmemilih.

Nasi pulak kalo ade lauk "fish" mmg byk la dia mkn...tp lauk ayam kurang sket...jugak kene ade sayur hijau yg ditumis @ dibuat sup...

Lagi satu kegemaran Tasnim...."toti bacar" memula ummi pon kurang pasti, apekemendenye "toti bacar" tuh...rupenye, atok yg rajin buatkan roti bakar utk Tasnim...roti bakar berinikan planta & kaya...2 keping pon buleh habis...

Skrg di usia 2 tahun Tasnim dah seberat 10.6kg, dah normal lah beratnya...berbanding dulu...yg masuk line kuning tuh...so skrg, Tasnim xperlu pergi timbang setiap bulan di klinik...bulan 10 nnt dtg utk mkn ubat cacing...

Choice of a baby BOY or GIRL

2007-12-19T10:37:00.000+08:00

Background:
Man’s sperm consists of X & Y spermatozoa, X spermatozoon decides the female whereas Y is the male. Referring to these physiological properties of the spermatozoa, gynecologists set up the theory of ‘Choice of a girl or a boy’.

1st factor: Food
If you want a baby girl: Husband must eat more alkaline food, wife eats more acidic food.
If you want a baby boy: Husband eats more acidic food, wife eats more alkaline food.

Alkaline food: vegetables, fruits, egg white, milk, algae, etc.
Acidic food: meat, seafood, etc.

2nd factor: Timing (When to do it?)
If you want a baby girl: Frequent copulation during pre-ovulation period.
If you want a baby boy: Copulating just before ovulation or just after ovulation.

How to confirm ovulation period: Body temperature increases (you may want to use SPC chart to monitor your body temperature here).

3rd factor: Penetration (How to do it?)
If you want a baby girl: Husband to avoid deep penetration in the female vagina during copulation.
If you want a baby boy: Deep penetration by the husband is suggested.

Reasoning:
Characteristics of X & Y spermatozoa
-X: Marathon runner with good stamina
-Y: Sprinter but poor stamina
So, with deep penetration, the chances for Y to reach destination will be higher.

4th factor: Stimulation
If you want a baby girl: Wife should avoid stimulation during copulation. Secretion from female vagina becomes alkaline when stimulated, therefore this promotes the activity of Y spermatozoon.
If you want a baby boy: Husband ejaculates after wife has been stimulated.

5th factor: Wife’s Preparation
If you want a baby girl: Rinse the vagina with solution dissolving 2 spoonfuls of white vinegar in 1 liter of water. Since an acidic condition decreases activity of Y spermatozoon.
If you want a baby boy: Rinse the vagina with solution dissolving 2 spoonfuls of soda in 1 liter of water.

6th factor: Positioning
If you want a baby girl: Female to be on the top position & male to be on the bottom position.
If you want a baby boy: Male to be on the top position & female to be on the bottom position. This posture allows the Y spermatozoon to reach the destination faster.

p/s: Hope it is useful for some of you in planning stage. For those of you do not have any plan in the near future, you can keep it for future reference.

Penentuan Gender Bayi

2007-12-18T16:07:00.000+08:00

Experts from Dr.Hamid Arshad's Q&A article:

Puan bolehlah membuat pengiraan dari tarikh puan datang haid. Contoh pengiraan adalah seperti dibawah,

KALENDER KESUBURAN BULANAN (cth;sekiranya haid Puan jatuh pd 1hb)

Hari Haid : 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 (10hari)

Hari Subur (Anak Lelaki): 11,12,13,14,15,16,17 (7 hari)

Hari Subur (Anak P'puan): 18,19,19,20,21,22,23 (7 hari)

Hari Tidak Subur: 24,25,26,27,28,29,30 (7 hari)

Berdasarkan kalender diatas Puan bolehlah sesuaikan dengan tarikh terakhir haid Puan bagi mendapatkan tarikh yang sesuai untuk bersama suami bagi mendapatkan anak perempuan.

Sekiranya haid Puan jatuh pada 23hb, maka sesuaikan dengan kalender tersebut di atas. Tulislah tarikh tersebut dengan tulisan kecil di bahagian atas kelender tersebut, supaya Puan mendapat tarikh yang sebenar untuk bekerja keras (bersama suami).

Walaupun masa haid Puan hanya selama 6 atau 7 hari, tetapi telur akan mula berfungsi selepas hari ke 10.

Jadi pada hari ke 11 hingga 17 (Puan di dalam keadaan subur yang amat sangat dan kemungkinan untuk mendapat anak L (lelaki) adalah cerah.

Mulai tarikh 18 hingga 23, adalah hari-hari untuk mendapatkan anak perempuan. Untuk itu, saya sarankan agar Puan menggunakan masa (tarikh) ini sebaik mungkin untuk mendapatkan anak perempuan.

Bila tiba pada hari tidak subur di atas 24 hingga 25 (lagi seminggu nak period) puan akan rasa sakit2 badan, sakit kepala dan moody. Itu salah satu tanda puan akan didatangai haid dalam masa seminggu dan masa Haid semula akan jatuh pada 30hb (selalunya akan tercepat atau selewat sehari)dari tarikh period terakhir.

Baby Step Journal : Month 16

2007-11-04T10:42:00.000+08:00

Motor Skills : Month 16

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby is testing her strength and wants to be more independent. She will prefer to walk rather than be pushed in a pram if she is not tired. She will attempt to pick up, push and pull large objects and is learning about weights and gravity and learns to adjust her body accordingly. She will tug and drag objects and so you may find they have moved while you are not in the room. She can walk up the stairs if you hold her hand and may be able to stand on one foot.
Fine Motor Skills
She will not yet be able to coordinate her hands and feet, and she lacks agility in her wrists. Her skill at building towers with blocks and objects continues to develop and she can climb a three-step ladder.

Language : Month 16
She will hold long conversations with you and you will be able to understand several words. She is more precise in imitating and she can combine several different words within a sentence. She understands more words than she can vocalize, but her uptake is still very slow. She now uses language more than gestures to tell you what she wants.

Emotion : Month 16
When your baby is frustrated she may show anger towards you and hit out, but she is unlikely to do this to strangers because she trusts that you won’t hit her back. She responds appropriately to your emotions and the tones of your voice. She is much more social, likes to be played with and adapts better to unfamiliar people. She is enthralled by taking things and finds the concept of giving more difficult to master. She may be scared and startled because of the loud noises of thunder and lightning so give her lots of cuddlesand make her feel secure during a storm. She may also be afraid of large animals such as dogs and horses. She wants to be independent and also to control other people, and so she may be stubborn, negative or forceful if she doesn’t get her own way.

Learning : Month 16
She imitates adult behavior such as reading the newspaper, and doing the housework. She can do simple household chores, helps put her toys away, takes off her shoes, and imitates your gestures, like blowing on food when it is hot. She can turn on a tap so you need to watch that she doesn’t leave it running. She is still very curious and will open bags and unwrap packages. She is more skillful using her hands and her scribbles are more controlled.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 16
She enjoys picking up objects, pushing them and moving them from one place to another. She likes playing “hide and seek” and to play with sand in a sandbox. She loves it when you pay her attention and she will perform for you, copying your actions and getting you to laugh and giggle with her. She likes hitting objects and enjoys hammering and banging. She is fascinated with water and loves to pour it into containers and empty them again, as well as to splash about.

How Can You Help : Month 16

Set up a small paddling pool containing water that she can play in.
Give her a plastic hammer that makes a squeaky noise when she hits objects – she will go around hitting everything (including you).
Let her play with old cardboard boxes that she can use to hide in and climb in and out of.
Repeat words to her and use gestures so that she builds her understanding.
Let her help with simple housework and be responsible for her possessions.
Keep up regular activities that she looks forward to such as bedtime stories and a daily walk outside.
Play “tug o’ war” with her using objects or a small piece of rope and let her win to build her confidence.
Play interactive games that require her to recognize an object or a spoken word.
Make her feel secure when she is outside and comes across unfamiliar animals or those that are larger than her.
Give her a toy ladder that she can practice climbing up and down, or make up games using stairs or steps in your house, such as clapping together on each step, or saying a new word each time she takes a step.

Resepi : Puding Roti & Ayam Percik

2007-10-07T02:10:00.001+08:00

Last week after ummi interview di PTG Ipoh, ummi & abi went to Jusco jalan² berdua :-) [itupon bile dah dpt report (dr opah yg tunggu Tasnim di rumah) yg Tasnim baru aje melelapkan matanya]. Jadi kesempatan itu kami ambil utk jalan² cuci mata di Jusco [lama dah xpegi Jusco]. Actually, ummi nak try resepi yg mcm sedap jer dlm gambo kat majalah Mak Su Tasnim yg ummi copy mase blk Kedah awal Ramadhan yg lalu. Bahan² yg xdpt dicari di kedai² kat Batu Gajah hanya 2 - serbuk buah pala & serbuk kayu manis!

Puding Roti
Bahan²:-
12 keping roti
250gm kismis kuning
1 sudu kecil serbuk pala
1 sudu kecil serbuk kayu manis
125gm gula merah
125gm gula kastor
1/2 liter susu segar
4 biji telur
1 sudu kecil esen vanila
Cara² menyediakannya:-
-Pukul susu+gula kastor hingga sebati [blende aje!] +telur & pukul lagi [pukul..? hmm] +esen vanila (Bahan A)
-Dulang pmbakar 12x12 dialas dengan kertas minyak [skip yg ini...xde pulak kertas minyak! dulang pon 8x8 jer...tp itu takkan menjejaskan kualiti puding heh!]
-Roti dipotong 4 dan diatur ke dlm dulang

Baby Step Journal : Month 15

2007-09-30T20:49:00.000+08:00

Your toddler’s range of movements is increasing but he still lacks the precision that will come later with practice. He crudely copies your writing and the strokes you make to guide his little drawings so continue to give him objects to trace.

His vocabulary consists of expressing single words and pointing to the item you are discussing helps his comprehension. He is very sensitive to changes in emotional states and will mirror what he sees and feels in his environment.

You will find he is very curious and loves to up-end containers, boxes and even your handbag, so be prepared for increased mess around the house. He wants to spend more time awake so keep to a routine that gently calms him down before bedtime.

Motor Skills : Month 15
Gross Motor Skills
Your baby actively uses his body: his arms, legs, and trunk movesmoothly and he is more confident trying new activities. He runs and rarely falls, and can throw a ball without falling over from
the effort. He walks up and down stairs with some help, and can stand on his right foot if you support him.

He will attempt to kick a ball but is more likely to miss-time his kick and stand on it. He squats and seats himself on a chair, and can walk sideways. He has discovered he can walk in different ways, and tries using his tiptoes.

Fine Motor Skills
He continues to build towers with several blocks and will turn the pages of a book as you are reading to him. He can place a round block in a shape sorter and will try to imitate your writing if you draw something for him to copy or trace. He may drink from a cup and then hand you the cup, and he can grasp and unzip a large zipper.

Language : Month 15
He may find and then bring an object to you if you ask him, even if he can’t immediately see it. He
uses single words to express a whole thought such as “cup” for “I want my cup”, and “teddy” for
“Give me my teddy”. He still doesn’t like sitting and listening to a whole story being read: he
would rather you show him the pictures and discuss them with him.
He listens to and responds to questions and directions, but may still need you to point and show
him what you mean. He watches television and will delight in participating in interactive shows such as “Sesame Street” and pointing to and naming familiar objects he sees on the screen.

Emotion : Month 15
He acts like a member of the family and will search for a family member who is missing. He reacts to the emotional states of those around him: if you are happy he will be happy but if you are angry he may also use angry gestures.

He smiles at everyone, is very aware of himself and the reactions he provokes from others, and enjoys people watching him. He uses body movements and gestures to reject or refuse something, and may be able to simultaneously say “no”.

Learning : Month 15
He loves to experience different smells and will enjoy you sharing with him the fragrances all around him, such as flowers, cut grass, baking and fruit. He will turn the pages of a book quite naturally but may turn several at once.

He scribbles with pens and crayons and enjoys creating drawings for you. He may be ready for a
toilet routine and be able to tell you when his pants are wet. He is developing his sense of self and may be particular about what he wears.

He continues to discover his body and is more curious about the differences between males and females. He is pre-occupied with fitting objects together and placing objects in boxes and containers that have lids. He can identify pairs of objects from within a group of similar items.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 15
He enjoys carrying around his favorite toy or teddy bear, and likes to pile up his toys in a small heap.
He prefers to stay awake and is aware that he may miss out on activities if he is absent. He still likes emptying containers and other household items, and he settles his curiosity by touching
everything and exploring each object fully.

How Can You Help : Month 15

Let him choose his own clothes and make decisions where possible.
Be aware of your emotions and facial expressions - he may try to copy them.
Be active during your reading time by pointing out objects and asking questions - don’t worry if he doesn’t want to hear the whole story.
Play “hide and seek” using different rooms of the house.
Give him pictures that he can attempt to trace and copy. You can even have him start to write his name.
If he is curious about his body and differences in others. Help to explain the differences between boys and girls. He won’t understand right now, but he will soon.
Even though he may resist going to bed, keep to the same routine so that he knows what to expect.
Show him how to walk in different ways, such as sideways, backwards, forwards, as well as running and jumping. You can make a fun game out of this.

Baby Step Journal : Month 14

2007-09-30T20:24:00.000+08:00

Motor Skills : Month 14

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby is constantly active, walking, crawling, starting, stopping, sitting and climbing. She can walk sideways for several steps and has increased her walking speed, introducing a “run-walk” to her range of movement. She will pick up an object while standing and then throw it away. She climbs up and down sofas, tables, and chairs.
Fine Motor Skills
She is more refined in her movements and can place small items in slightly larger objects, such as a button into a bottle. Her fingers can grasp small handles and hinges and she works out how to open them. She likes to carry separate items in each hand and prefers to keep them both rather than giving one of the objects up for the other. She uses her fingers to explore and her sense of touch is more developed.

Language : Month 14
She recognizes the names of major body parts and may even be able to point at one without help. She uses words, jargon and gestures to communicate, but will still point to objects that she wants. She is excited by animals and may say the noise they make rather than their name, such as “moo” for cow, and “whoof” for dog.
She understands and responds to several commands and a few key words and phrases.

Emotion : Month 14
She understands and responds to several commands and a few key words and phrases.
She has developed a temper but is easily distracted and will quickly forget what was upsetting her. She continues to demand attention and assert herself, but is learning the concept of compromise and not having her own way all the time.

Learning : Month 14
She will attempt to copy strokes and outlines when she draws, and will spontaneously write and scribble. She recognizes and pats pictures, and loves hearing stories.
She is interested in strange textures and unusual sensations such as stickiness,roughness and gooeyness. She can place pegs in a pegboard with assistance and can remove them. She will happily copy your laugh, sneeze, cough, and other noises you make.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 14
Her coordination is improving when she throws a ball or places an item within another object. She enjoys bath time and being around water, so you need to watch her as she can move very quickly.
She enjoys experimenting and using toys and objects in unconventional ways. She will create her own games and movements for objects. She likes toys that look like real objects such as horses, dogs, and farm animals.

How Can You Help : Month 14

Give her games and objects that require fine motor skills such as smaller household items and activity sets that let her manipulate the pieces.
Let her touch different surfaces and substances and explain to her what they are.
Ask her for hugs and cuddles.
Continue to introduce new commands for her to follow.
Don’t reprimand her if she throws her toys - she is not always doing it out of anger, to her it’s a game.
Show her that there is an appropriate time for actions and activities, for example climbing out of her crib when its bedtime is not acceptable.
Get her to chase you to encourage her to walk and run.
Throw her balls of different sizes and weights so she learns to adjust when catching and throwing them back.

Pada hujung minggu yg telah berlalu, Tasnim, Abi, Ummi, Atok & Opah telah bercuti² Malaysia di Swiss Court Holiday Apartment Damai Laut, Lumut bersempena dengan Hari Keluarga Pejabat Ummi & Opah. Kami semua sepatutnye berada di SCHADL (hehe pepandai aje ummi nih wat shortform sendiri!!) sebelum pukul 5ptg kerana acara sukaneka akan diadakan bagi kanak² seperti Tasnim & remaja anak² staff² PTDKg Gajah. Tetapi memandangkan beberapa perkara yg tidak dpt dielakkan, kami smp kire² jam 6 ptg di sana, di mana acara sukaneka telah pon berlansung (hmm xdptla Tasnim kutip cikelat!!) Pagi sblm berangkat, ummi & abi dah carikan pelampung utk Tasnim mandi di kolam renang...malangnye xjmp la pulak, jadi Atok telah menyeponsorkan pelampung utk Tasnim...hmm malang sekali lagi, ummi xdpt nak pilihkan pelampung yg vogue² utk Tasnim (hehe ummi yg over) krn kedai yg kami singgah tu xde byk pilihan utk yg jenis berlubang utk baby/kanak² seperti Tasnim!!

Vicks Vaporub - can stop coughs (Especially For Children)

2007-07-21T21:22:00.000+08:00

To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime then cover with socks.
Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.
Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescriptions cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on behalf of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to alternative therapies like accupressure. I Just happened to tune in A.M.
Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened.
It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition, it has a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.
Lolly tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. Her coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, incredibly annoying, every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough free for hours every night that she used it.
So, if you have children, pass it on, if you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.

p/s: from fwd email - [hmm xpenah plak cube, malahan xde pon Vick Vaporub kat umh halal ke..? huh! kene check dulu nih ;-)]

Baby Step Journal : Month 13

2007-07-14T18:34:00.000+08:00

Your toddler is learning that there are consequencesto his actions and he has a basic understanding of what is right and wrong. He enjoys physical games and can also play on his own without needing you, but not for too long. The telephone is one of his favorite toys and he will want to use a real one so you may findyour phone is often in his little hand. He will demand your attention frequently so now is a good time to gently make him wait for you on occasion before you attend to his needs.

Motor Skills : Month 13

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby can start and stop when he walks and will step off witheither his right or left foot. He can comfortably bend to pick up objects using very little support. If he crawls or creeps he will use the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet rather than his knees. He can stand on his own and kneel on the floor or on stable pieces of furniture.

Fine Motor Skills
He holds up to 4 cubes in his hands and can place them on top of one another to create a vertical tower. He reaches for objects using continuous movements and is accurate with his direction and grasp. He voluntarily drops or throws an object and then will delight in retrieving it.

Language : Month 13
Your baby has auditory preferences and may have a favorite musical CD or educational video that he likes to watch. Allowing your child to listen to music and watch television can help to increase his vocabulary. However, don’t overexpose your child to TV - thirty minutes once a day or 15-20 minutes twice a day is fine. He can use avariety of tones and noises and enjoys making soundsfor his own amusement. He knows the names of his family members and tries to make himself understood.He copies any word that he hears and will either saythe word or make a similar sound. He knows the names of a number of objects that he regularly encounters like “chair”, “table”, and “cat”.

Emotion : Month 13
He has started to develop his own personality and style of relating to people. He demands your attention and will act in waysthat he knows will make you focus on him, such asthrowing and dropping toys, crawling towards you, and making noises with his body like clapping. He offershis toys when you ask for them but he may expect themto be returned immediately. He doesn’t like extended periods alone and may cry out for you in the morning. He may become afraid of the dark and continues to be fearful of strangers. He is more independent and wants to perform activities without your help and on his own.

Learning : Month 13
Your baby imitates familiar activities that he sees others do such as housework like dusting, cleaning, sweeping, mopping or washing up. He understands that his actions make things happen and he is curious asto what he can achieve. He draws more frequently and can use smaller pencils and pens. He is becoming aware of right and wrong and the consequences of actions. He is more assertiveand may throw tantrums and scream if he doesn’t get his own way. He sleeps without being disturbed by noise, and continues to become more independentin his feeding and dressing

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 13
He loves physical games and he enjoys those that involve chasing and catching. He plays more aggressively anduses his body strength. He likes telephones and havingimaginary conversations, mimicking what he has seen, and then giving you the receiver for you to talk. He likes to play on his own and is happy to create his own games.

How Can You Help : Month 13

Play games that involve him chasing you more and catching you less, and then chase and catch him.
Play games where you move him through the air, and give him piggyback rides.
During physical activities and games teach your child to be cautious and avoid injury
Ask him to make choices as to his activities - such as the music he wants played, where he wants to go for a walk, and who he wants to play with.
When you are away call him on the telephone and have conversations with him.
Show him appropriate ways of getting your attention, and teach him that sometimes he will have to wait for you.
Reprimand him when his behavior is inappropriate, but remember to praise and reward him as soon as he does well, and do not continue to punish him.Talk to him and show him that you understand him so he doesn’t get frustrated.

Telephone Time

2007-06-22T00:26:00.000+08:00

Your baby loves mimicking speech and by now he has seen you use your house telephone and probably a mobile phone as well.

You can give him a toy telephone to play with but he is likely to want to act just like a grown up and use the real thing.
Turn his curiosity into a learning game. Let him pick up the receiver and talk into the telephone.
Ask him who is he talking to, where are they, and what are they saying. He will love feeling special by having his very own conversation.
You can even ring the telephone so he can pick it up, helping him to learn about cause and effect, or simply make the sound of the telephone and play an imaginary game.
If you are away from home don’t forget to call your toddler so he can hear your voice; you won’t be able to have a long conversation but he can still feel close to you and enjoy using the telephone just like grown ups do.

Be aware that there have not been enough studies to justify the safety of young children using or playing with mobile phones. Naturally, your toddler will be curious wanting to play with or mouth your mobile phone and may even throw a tantrum if you don’t let him have it. A good alternative is a toy telephone that is the size of a mobile phone and makes noise or talks when your child presses the number pads.

[Tasnim...hmm bile hp ummi bunyi jer, dia pon henjut² montot!! sebabnye dia sukekan ringtone hp ummi tuh ;-) "Marilah mengaji kenal huruf al-Quran...mari mari mengaji penuh kesungguhan..." mane taknye, hari² Tasnim belajar mengaji ngan Ust Zamri...hmm First time Tasnim gayekan aksi 'bercakap' di telefon semasa kami sekeluarga on the way to tgk baby Muhammad Al-Fatih di Titi Gantung, Perak. Mase tuh singgah solat Asar di masjid then biase la ummi n abi solat ikut turn ;-) pastu Tasnim dgn gayenye yg tersendiri bercakap di telefon...hehe kelako tgk! Pandai ye anak ummi n abi meniru aksi org dewasa...hmm tiru yg baik² aje ye sayang...!! Sejak dr tuh, pantang nampak hp terus ke telinge...pastu pandai jgk nak bezakan antara hp, remote tv n remote fan- dpt hp letak di telinge, dpt remote tv tekan² hentam keromo sambil mata tgk kat tv, dpt remote fan tekan² sambil kepala dongak ke atas....hmm eksperimen la tuh!! Tp bile dpt remote aircond...hmm]

Baby Step Journal : Month 12

2007-06-22T00:20:00.000+08:00

You may find your little one tries to lift all kinds of objects without judging their size, or her relative strength. She recognizes several words without needing visual cues and loves listening to rhythmical sounds, so try dancing with her and moving to the beat. She mimics the actions of those around her and engages in “grown up” play by copying you and any older siblings. She is fascinated with boxes and jars and loves to empty objects and then put them back. Give her special boxes for favorite items and introduce her to the concept of ‘open’ and ‘closed’ and ‘empty’ and ‘full’.

Motor Skills : Month 12

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby dislikes being restrained and will want to move about freely, using her new confidence and mobility. She stands on her own for short periods without support and leans forward to pick up objects while holding on with her other hand. She dances to music and climbs up low steps or ledges. She will try to lift heavier items, some which are stillmuch too big for her.

Fine Motor Skills
She tries to manipulate any button, switch, and handle or dial that she finds, and picks up small items using her thumb and index finger. She can place small objects into a container and retrieve them, and continues to improve her accuracy when using a shape sorter. She grasps several objects in one hand with ease and can build small towers using blocks.

Language : Month 12
Your baby tries to sing and will listen when you sing to her or read nursery rhymes and jingles. She uses both speech and action to indicate what she wants, and cries less often. When you ask her to locate an object, she will understand and look in the appropriate place. She may say “ta ta” for thank you and attempts new words to add to her vocabulary.

Emotion : Month 12
She loves people watching her and praising her actions. She demands personal attention and will want to be able to see you even when she is playing or involved in other activities. She still fears strangers but is adjusting to being left alone with familiar people such as grandparents and the babysitter. She will hug and kiss you spontaneously, is able to recognize that people have different personalities and preferences, including what they like and dislike, and is realizing that you are separate to her and have your own adult activities.

Learning : Month 12
Your baby’s brain is developing and she is moving from mimicking to inventing new actions that she has not seen before. She uses trial-and-error to solve problems and will investigate objects in thorough detail, emptying containers, rubbish bins, handbags, drawers and shelves to find new objects and see the cause and effect of her actions. She is beginning to understand “up” and “down” and the concept of gravity. She needs less sleep and fights tiredness. Her memory is developing and she can recall events that happened several hours or a day earlier.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 12
Your baby enjoys discovering new things that enable her to coordinate her actions, such as catching a ball, and dancing to music. She loves being independent so encourage her to ask for what she wants and to help you to feed and dress her.

How Can You Help : Month 12

Get her to catch a ball and throw it back to you.
If you have other children get them play with her and encourage her to share her toys.
Place lots of different objects in a small box and get her to remove each object one by one and then return them to the box.
Encourage her to communicate with you when she wants something and then you can repeat what she has told you.
Play music and sing and dance together.
Introduce new commands and actions and repeat them to her often. (i.e. Give mummy the ball, lift your leg, arms up, etc)
When she is playing on her own or with people, make sure she can still see you.
Take her outside and introduce her to new environments and people.

Baby Step Journal : Month 11

2007-06-07T20:57:00.000+08:00

His increased coordination and confidence means he can do several things at once while on the go. He may be able to start feeding himself, but it will be pretty messy.
He understands that conversations have natural pauses where he can speak and then listen. He is beginning to recognize that objects can be grouped according to common characteristics such as color. You may notice that he expresses negative emotions more frequently and he will throw tantrums if he doesn’t get his own way.
Puzzles and activities requiring greater precision of movement will be of great interest to him and this means there are plenty of ways he can be stimulated, even while playing on his own.

Motor Skills : Month 11
Gross Motor Skills
Your baby may have begun to walk but he still prefers crawling and is more confident doing so. As he is now mobile and wants to move around, he will usually perform a combination of walking, cruising and crawling. He walks when supported and may even run and climb with support. He is able to do several things at once while walking, such as holding a toy, waving, and bending over. He may climb out of his crib so he needs to be watched more often. He can sit down gracefully and may be able to lower himself onto a small chair. You can introduce swimming as a new activity if you haven’t done so already.

Fine Motor Skills
He has a preference for using one hand over the other and holds an object with his weaker hand while performing the action with his dominant hand. He rotates a spoon to place it in his mouth and twists objects such as handles and knobs. He is better at building towers and moving objects more precisely.
He can reach for objects without looking, makes lines with crayons and is more precise when using a shape sorter. He knows that objects are separate to him and can be rotated, reversed, taken apart and put back together.
At this stage he will probably not be able to put what he takes apart back together but he will make valiant efforts to figure out all sorts of objects and their moving parts. He may want to take part in dressing and undressing himself.

Language : Month 11
His vocalizing more closely imitates the sounds of real speech. He knows how to express himself and his emotions through language and practices the words he already knows. He may use up to eight words with meaning but don’t expect his pronunciation to be perfect because there are still many vowels and consonants that he won’t master until he is around 3 years old.
He remembers people names, and follows conversations, and will often try to speak in the gaps of people’s conversations. He can link objects together that have commonality, such as animals, or things that fly. He responds to instructions and can make you understand what he wants. The predominant learning method is to still to tell him a word and then show him the object, like pointing to a dog and saying, “Show me the dog” but he will soon recognize the word just by hearing it.

Emotion : Month 11
He freely expresses emotion and recognizes when others display emotion. He has developed a preference for certain people and is fearful of strangers and being left alone, but loves company when surrounded by familiar people.
He is wary around strangers and prefers to be close to you, so introduce new people gradually and make sure you stay close by. He uses parents to defend himself if he feels his rights have been violated. Negativism is more apparent, with him displaying displeasure, protest, and anger more frequently.
On the up side, he gives affection generously and his sense of humor is more developed. He is developing a strong sense of self and wants to be more independent, feeding himself and making decisions, such as refusing to eat or to take a nap.

What Your Baby Enjoys - Month 11
Walking
He loves his new mobility and will spend lots of time walking, crawling and enjoying his freedom. He often lacks confidence, so praise him when he stands and walks and encourage him to take small steps by placing yourself a little distance away and then hold out your arms for him to walk towards you. The more times he walks successfully the bolder he will be, and his physical confidence with continue to develop.
Drawing
He loves bright colors and being in control of his actions, so drawing is a great activity for him. He doesn’t need special coloring books; just some plain paper and crayons in primary colors will delight him. Sit with him and draw together to show him you are interested, and praise him when he makes marks on the paper: he is learning to control his body and his movements.

How Can You Help : Month 11

Give him activity boards with knobs, buttons and handles that he can manipulate.
Encourage him to move about in the bath using swimming motions.
Let him play with water outside of bath time, such as filling up a shallow bucket or introducing a paddling pool, and make sure he is supervised.
Get him to walk towards you either using furniture for assistance, or taking short steps on his own.
Let him play with simple puzzles and help him complete them if needed.
Read stories about babies and use these to show him how he is loved and protected.
Congratulate him when you understand his speech.
Encourage him to feed and dress himself
Give him objects he can group together, such as shoes, colored blocks, and items that come in pairs of shapes.
Encourage him to play with other babies in the same area and to share his toys.

Ring Stacks

2007-05-06T23:17:00.000+08:00

Babies love colored rings that they can grasp hold of with their little hands and throw about or stack on a pole. Ring stacking activities utilize your baby’s fine motor skills when he picks up the rings and then places them precisely on the pole. He can then take the rings off the pole one by one. When he gets older he can even throw the rings a short distance to land on the pole.

When he picks up them up, tell him the color of each ring. He will find it easier to take the rings off the pole than put them on, so he may simply tip the pole upside down. Let him play freely and then show him how it’s done, helping to build his problem solving skills. You can get ring stackers that have rings of increasing size, and when your baby is older he will learn to stack from the largest to smallest, ensuring you have a great game for years to come. If you can’t find a toy ring stacker, you can use a paper towel cardboard roll, and make rings from loops of thin card.

Baby Step Journal : Month 10

2007-04-27T11:39:00.000+08:00

Tasnim Amani : Month 10

She holds small objects such as pens and crayons and may even make marks on paper. However, you must watch her carefully because she may try to bite off bits of crayons, pen caps etc. Do your best to keep her away from anything toxic. Now is a good time to think about baby proofing your house especially if your child is an early walker. You may notice her mimicking your speech tones and the noises she hears around her. Repeat these sounds back to her to show you understand. Introduce her to the concept of sharing and giving you items when you request them, however it will take some time for her to fully comprehend why she should give away any of her possessions.

Motor Skills : Month 10

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby stands up on her own, lowers herself to the floor and can stand unsupported. She may stand against a supporting object and lean over and then right herself. She climbs up stairs and can climb downstairs backwards. She will walk by holding onto one or two of your hands or by pushing a trolley and using it as support. She points at objects she sees through windows and can move objects in and out of containers. She looks for hidden objects and knows that they remain even when they are covered up.

Fine Motor Skills
Objects that have parts that swing, like pages of a book, and doors and windows that swing back and forth fascinate her. She holds small objects such as pens and crayons and can make marks on paper.

She uses her hands simultaneously to carry out separate actions, like feeding with one hand and picking up a toy with the other. She can pick up foods and transfer them to her mouth but she may still not accurately place the food directly into her mouth using a spoon. She likes to open up boxes and take the lids of containers to see what is inside. She will give you an object if you ask for it.

Language : Month 10

Your baby’s speech will still be mostly babble but she will produce several understandable sounds that may be placed within a sentence of non-words. She may use a single word to express herself, and recognizes that words represent objects. She is more accurate in using the right word to name the correct object. When you say a word such as “bird” she may point to the sky, and when you name an object she can point to it in a book. She is more accurate in mimicking voice inflections, rhythm, and expressions than the actual words. She responds to your questions with the appropriate action, like bringing you her teddy when you ask, “Where is your teddy?”

Emotion : Month 10

She establishes strong relationships with people she spends the most time with. She withdraws from strangers and relies on her primary caregiver(s) for feeding, help, and approval. She will not always respond when asked to do something and shows guilt when she knows she has disobeyed instructions. She seeks praise and will repeat actions and activities that are rewarded. She may test the limits of rules, and will try to get what she wants through teasing, protest, and persuasive behavior. She uses her sense of humor to play jokes and laugh at your reaction.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 10

Obstacles
Your baby enjoys the challenge of crawling over and around objects. Make a simple obstacle course using cushions and toys and place your baby at one end while you sit at the other. She will crawl over, round and through the course to reach you. You can even make a small tunnel by placing a sheet over two chairs, or using an open box.

Reading
She loves looking at pictures, photographs and books and can identify many common objects. Read to her and ask her about the pictures she sees such as “Where is the cat? And “Which person is your Daddy?” She will happily sit and point out the objects and people in a story and want to turn the pages.

How Can You Help : Month 10

Encourage her to walk by pushing a trolley or using other support.
Read different types of stories and magazines to her, pointing out the pictures and asking questions that she can respond to.
Encourage her to give you the toy when you ask for it (but don’t force her) and reward her with cuddles and kisses.
Let her play with objects that fit together, or are different sizes so she can practice putting objects inside each other.
When you speak to her use sentences that associate names with actions, like “Daniel has gone to school”, and “Mummy is going out”.

Baby Step Journal : Month 9

2007-04-15T08:23:00.000+08:00

Tasnim Amani : Month 9

She can crawl, climb, walk and sit with varying ability and uses the furniture and objects around your house to help hers stay balanced on her little feet. Her language appreciation is still action oriented so games that involve pointing to objects and repeating names are great for her.

She shows you a range of moods, including lots of love and affection, and she knows that hugs and kisses are very special gifts she can give you. She recognizes that moods are represented by certain facial expressions, and correspondingly she has growing body awareness.

Motor Skills : Month 9

Gross Motor Skills
Your child is learning new motor skills. You will see him crawl, climb, cruise and walk, as well as sit unaided and have a greater sense of balance. He climbs up and down from chairs and can now sit down after standing. He can crawl with speed and may be able to climb up a few stairs and climb down by going feet first. He helps you to dress and undress him.

Fine Motor Skills
He carries two small objects in a single hand and enjoys taking objects apart and putting them back together and placing objects inside one another. He explores new objects by banging, rattling, rubbing and turning them, and will look at them from different angles.
He reaches behind himself for objects he cannot see, and can easily retrieve objects. He lets go of objects deliberately and looks to see where they land. He handles objects with increasing precision, like placing rings on to a hole, and pushing simple shapes through a shape sorter.

Language : Month 9

He is learning to associate words with actions like waving when someone says “bye bye” and nodding when someone says “yes”. He may repeat the same word in answer to every question, and keep saying it continuously. He will chatter away as if speaking but the words still won’t have meaning to you. He uses a variety of consonants and vowel sounds and may learn several new words this month. He listens more to familiar language and understands and follows certain words and commands. He still primarily uses actions to communicate with you, so when you have understood what he wants, repeat it to him, for example you can ask him “play with the ball?” and point to the object.

Emotion : Month 9

Your baby will show his moods and will make facial expressions appropriate to how he is feeling, such as looking hurt, angry, happy, and excited. He shows affection by pressing close to you and holding you tight. As his awareness of himself grows he begins to recognize differences between girls and boys. He is also becoming aware of what is socially acceptable and unacceptable through the praise and reprimands that he receives, and he adjusts his behavior accordingly.

He is sensitive to the responses received by other children and may express jealously or annoyance if he is ignored. He may get scared performing familiar activities because he is becoming increasing aware of failure and also of hurting himself. He shows tenderness towards his favorite toys by hugging or kissing them and may separate them from other toys and also become possessive, getting angry if you take it from him without asking.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 9

Movement
He enjoys objects that move, like toys with wheels and those that can be pushed or pulled. He likes pushing and pulling objects and sorting them according to shape or size.
Give him bath toys that he can move through the water, fill up and empty.
Offer him building blocks that he can stack vertically or place horizontally and then dissemble. Use colorful blocks to help him to recognize and name different colors.

How Can You Help : Month 9

Place your baby at one end of the room and get him to crawl towards you.
Create a tunnel that he can crawl through by seeing you at the other end.
Give him old newspapers and tissue paper that he can tear up.
Roll a ball to him and get him to roll it back to you.
Give him a small box that he can climb in and out of.
Help him use simple puzzles where he can fit the pieces together
Play interactive games like “ring a ring a roses” and “row, row, row your boat”.
Place a toy behind him and encourage him to twist around and reach for the toy.
Support him so he can walk with your help.
Show him family photos and name each person.
Read to him and point out the pictures.
Give him toys that he can dress and undress.
Ask him to share his toys and food with you, and reward him when he does so.
Continue to name everything that he encounters and repeat the words often.

Pentarbiahan anak ialah usaha membentuk mereka dari segi jasmani, akli, rohani, perasaan dan sosial sehingga menjadi ahli anggota masyarakat yang berguna kepada masyarakatnya [m/s 3]
Anak-anakmu adalah penduduk-penduduk kecil syurga [m/s 7]
Latihlah anak-anak "TO WALK WITH AL-QURAN" (membawa al-Quran kemana-mana) semoga menjadi "THE WALKING AL-QURAN" (al-Quran yang bergerak) [m/s 76]
Tujuan sebenar perkahwinan ialah untuk mendirikan "Baitul Muslim" (rumah tangga Islam) bagi melahirkan generasi yang soleh untuk memegang tanggungjawab dan melaksanakan kesinambungan petunjuk hidayah dan memastikan keterusannya (kesinambungan) [m/s 81]
Anak-anak merupakan simpanan atau saham untuk akhirat bagi ibubapa Muslim jika mereka mampu mendidik dan membangunkan jiwa mereka dengan takwa [m/s 83]
Ketahuilah bahawa tanggungjawab mendidik yang dijalankan di rumah adalah 1000 kali lebih baik daripada tugasan yang dilakukan di luar rumah bersama-sama dengan kaum lelaki [m/s 85]
Jika di sekolah guru adalah ibu bapa kedua, di rumah pula ibubapa adalah guru kedua bagi anak-anak [m/s 122]
Anak-anak yang dimanjakan tidak akan mampu menjunjung risalah Islam yang berat malah tidak membawa kebaikan yang diharapkan [m/s 127]
"Sesungguhnya kebenaran membawa pada kebaikan. Dan kebaikan itu membawa ke syurga. Dan seseorang manusia itu sentiasa bercakap benar dan berusaha untuk bercakap benar. Dan bohong membawa kepada dosa dan dosa membawa ke neraka. Dan seseorang itu sentiasa berbohong dan berusaha untuk berbohong sehingga Allah menulisnya di kalangan orang-orang yang berbohong"(Riwayat Bukhari & Muslim) [m/s 153]
Mewujudkan suasana sekeliling anak adalah suasana yang "menghormati" sikap benar dalam percakapan dan perbuatan supaya anak membesar dalam keadaan benar. Antaranya juga mengadakan suasana ketenangan, kebebasan, penghargaan, kasih sayang dan rasa ingin berjaya sehingga anak tidak berusaha untuk menipu [m/s 157]
Anak-anak biasanya dididik sendiri oleh ibubapa atau dihantar ke pusat-pusat jagaan kanak-kanak. Mungkin ada pendapat yang mengatakan suasana di pusat-pusat jagaan itu lebih membentuk diri anak dan daya kreativitinya. Tetapi pendapat tersebut tidak tepat kerana ada kajian yang menunjukkan sebaliknya, iaitu anak yang dididik di rumah lebih mempunyai daya kreativiti daripada anak yang dididik di pusat-pusat nursery. Bahkan kita dapat melihat mereka lebih lambat faham daripada anak-anak yang dididik oleh ibu bapa mereka [m/s 170]
"Bersabarlah dan rasa mulialah bersama Islam. Apatah lagi kamu berusaha mengembalikan maruah umat ini. Ingatlah, janganlah sesekali kamu melatah apabila berhadapan dengan situasi-situasi yang tertekan.

The Dangers of a Hot Car

2007-03-18T16:05:00.000+08:00

Since 1998, more than 230 children have died after being left in a hot car (sometimes on relatively mild days with only 70 degree temperatures). On a typical summer day, the temperature inside a car (even with the windows rolled down a little) can quickly rise above 120 to 140 degrees. Even on a relatively mild day, the temperature inside a car can get above 100 degrees. At those temperatures, kids are at great risk for heat stroke, which can lead to a high fever, dehydration, seizures, stroke and death. To keep your children safe, follow these tips:

Never leave your child in a car, especially on a hot, sunny day.
Always lock your car and secure the keys so that your kids can't get to them.
Never let your children play in the car by themselves and warn them about the dangers.
Install a trunk release mechanism, so that they can't get trapped in the trunk.
When you get home from errands, get your kids out of the car first, and then worry about getting the groceries, etc.
Make sure that child care providers and day care workers have a plan to make sure that kids aren't left in the provider's car or van.

Baby Step Journal : Month 8

2007-02-10T13:46:00.000+08:00

Tasnim Amani : Month 8

You may be able to tell whether your baby is right or left handed by her preferences and she is able to pick up smaller items using her fingers, so watch that little objects don’t end up in her mouth. She loves standing upright because her whole view of the world changes.
She’s quite the performer enjoying your attention and praise, so encourage and reward her progress. Introduce her to the world outside and explore your backyard, a neighborhood park, or public gardens during one of your walks together.

Motor Skills : Month 8

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby is more confident crawling and standing. She may crawl upstairs and walk while you hold both her hands. She may stand briefly on her own or with her hand being held and may use the furniture to move or sidestep while keeping her balance. She is not yet able to move from standing to sitting but showing her how to do this will improve her confidence. She gets herself into a sitting position easily from lying but can’t yet move from sitting to standing without help, but will often use furniture to pull herself up. She sits quite happily while unsupported and pivots her body. She leans forward while sitting when she reaches for an item, and can lean back without losing her balance.

Fine Motor Skills
She is more coordinated and may be able to build a small tower of two blocks. She may start to favor one hand over the other, and pick up small items using her thumb and index finger. She can see almost as clearly as an adult now so her movements are more precise, and she may be able to drink from a beaker with a spout.
Coordination leads her to explore more with her fingers and less with her mouth. She uses her fingers individually, often poking them into holes or pulling on hooks so make sure all unused power points are covered with child safe plugs.

Language : Month 8

Your baby uses words meaningfully, knowing who “mama” and “dada” are. She may respond to several words other than her name, the word “no”, and be able to follow simple commands.
She will enjoy this new ability so remember to reward her and show you are pleased. She will add “t”, “d”, and “w” words to her repertoire and will imitate coughs, sneezes and hisses.
She makes up her own words for objects and people. Encourage her by repeating the word she used and then make the correct sound so she can copy. When she stares at an object with interest, tell her its name and then repeat it so she can listen and repeat the sound.

Emotion : Month 8

Your baby is shy when confronted with new faces and may not want to be picked up by strangers but she will remember familiar people. She will fear heights, is aware of vertical space, and may become scared of the bath where previously she was not because she is becoming increasingly conscious of her surroundings and that she is capable of getting hurt.
She enjoys performing and will repeat an act if she is applauded or rewarded. She evaluates other people’s moods and may be sensitive to other children’s emotions, like crying when they cry.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 8

Standing and Moving
She may not be able to walk confidently but is enjoying her mobility and a new view of the world. Encourage her to stand by placing a toy on a chair and having her stand up unaided or with your help to reach the toy. You can also place an object at the opposite end of a couch so that she can “cruise” or sidestep along to the object using the furniture for support.
She may not be able to sit back down so stay close to catch her falls. You can also help her by using your extended hand, a broom handle or pole that she can hang on to for support as she lowers herself to the ground.

Hiding Games
She has realized that objects don’t just disappear when she can’t see them. Play hiding games where she has to find an object that has been hidden, or you can disappear behind a couch and then pop up again.

How Can You Help : Month 8

Turn objects upside down and get her to turn them the right way up.
Play “peek-a-boo”.
Hide toys and get her to find them.
Play with stacked objects of increasing size to teach her coordination and order.
Create a mini sandbox and let her shovel and dig sand. You can show her how to make a sandcastle.
Let her help when you dress her – ask her to raise her arms or give you her foot.
Read books and ask questions related to the stories such as “Where is Jane going?” and “Does Jane have a brother or a sister?” She may initially just smile, point or babble back at you when you ask questions but this is good language practice and it will help her learn how to answer questions, as she gets older.
Tell her when the next activity is going to happen, so she learns about routine.
Repeat words that start with “t”, “d”, and “w” so she can learn new words and sounds.
Get her to bang objects both powerfully and softly to show her how she can control her actions and their effect.
Reward her achievements: even the smallest actions take a great deal of effort, and she loves feeling appreciated. She will want to repeat these actions and learn skills when she feels loved.

Breastfeeding: Storing and Handling Breast Milk

2007-01-22T10:58:00.000+08:00

Breastfeeding: Storing and Handling Breast Milk
Keep It Fresh for Baby
-- By Becky Hand, Licensed and Registered Dietician

What is your plan? to work outside the home full-time, part-time, or to be a stay-at-home mom? Whatever your plan, there will be times when you will be glad that you have a reserve of stored breast milk for occasional needs, emergencies, or daily feedings and care. Knowing the proper and safe steps to store breast milk is vital to the safety and health of your infant. Here is the steps:

Wash your hands before expressing breast milk.
Make sure all equipment used to store breast milk is properly cleaned.
If you use a breast pump, review and follow the operation and cleaning instructions.
Breast milk can be stored in glass bottles, hard plastic bottles or freezer bags. If using plastic freezer bags, use the bags that are designed specifically for storing breast milk. For breast milk stored in the refrigerator, use plastic bottles. The protective properties of breast milk are better retained in plastic. Breast milk can be frozen in either plastic or glass containers. However, glass is less likely to crack under freezer conditions. To allow for expansion, do not completely fill bottles when freezing.

Freshly pumped breast milk can be kept:

10 hours at room temperature below 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
4-8 hours at room temperature below 79 degrees Fahrenheit.
5-8 days in the refrigerator at 39 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
2 weeks in a freezer compartment inside the refrigerator.
3-4 months in a refrigerator-freezer with a separate door.
6-12 months in a deep freezer at temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remember to date the expressed breast milk. Then use a rotating system of first-in, first-out. Also remember:

Breast milk should be stored in small amounts. For infants 1-3 months old, store in 2 to 4 ounce portions. For older infants, 4 to 6 ounce portions can be used. This will help avoid wasting unused breast milk after feedings.
Never pour body-temperature milk on the top of frozen milk. This could partially thaw the frozen milk and allow bacteria to grow. Instead, chill the breast milk and then add it to a container of already-frozen milk.
Frozen breast milk can be thawed in the refrigerator, under warm running water from the faucet, or in a bowl of warm water.
To warm breast milk, run lukewarm tap water over the bottle of milk or place it in a bowl of warm water. This will take the chill off the milk. Before feeding the breast milk, gently shake the container to ensure an even temperature and to mix the layers. It is common for breast milk to separate during storage. Use the breast milk within 24 hours and never refreeze it.
Do not thaw or heat breast milk in a pan on the stove or in the microwave. Do not boil the breast milk. High heating temperatures (over 100 degrees Fahrenheit) can destroy nutrients and protective properties of the milk.
Because bacteria from the baby's mouth can get into the milk, NEVER store and reuse a bottle of breast milk once your baby has been fed from that bottle. The bacteria can multiply and then make your baby sick.

Use the weight of the baby to estimate the amount of breast milk to leave for each feeding.

Round the baby's weight to the nearest half pound.
Multiply this weight in pounds by 3.
Divide by 8 to get the number of ounces of breast milk to leave for each bottle-feeding.
For example, if a baby weighs 12 pounds, 2 ounces: 12 X 3 = 36 36 divided by 8 = 4.5 Therefore leave 4-5 ounces of breast milk for each feeding.

Biting Baby

2007-01-21T17:00:00.000+08:00

If your baby's teeth come in while you are still breastfeeding, you may be bit while nursing. This can happen for a number of reasons: if she's biting early in the feeding, she might be over-eager or frustrated, waiting for your milk to let down. If she bites late in the feeding, she may be sleepy and feeling her latch slip. Your baby's latch may also be affected if she has a cold or stuffy nose, and she may bite while adjusting. And, of course, your baby may just mistake your nipple for a teething ring and try to relieve her sore gums.

To stop your baby from biting while nursing, calmly and gently remove her from your breast and say "Don't bite Mommy" or "Don't hurt Mommy." Put her down gently or hand her to someone else, and wait a minute or two before you try to nurse again. This teaches her that when she bites, the milk goes away. Repeat this as often as necessary. However, always remain calm if bitten - never scream or yell. Startling or yelling at your baby may form a bad association with breastfeeding and she may refuse to feed altogether. Early and sudden weaning can be traumatic for you and your baby.

Baby Step Journal: Month 7

He is beginning to understand cause and effect andexperiments by adjusting his behavior to see what happens. He is keen to explore on his own so make sure you don’t leave any objects close by that may cause accidents.
His language skills develop through associating actions and objects with the correct wordsand you can help him learn more quickly by pointing to the items as you name them.
He loves to create noise and there are lots of activities associated with sound that he can enjoy.

Motor Skills : Month 7

Gross Motor Skills
He may crawl using either his hands and knees or hands and feet. He may also be able to crawl while carrying an object in one hand. He can stand by leaning against something like furniture but may need help to sit down again. When he is held standing, he can put one foot infront of the other in an attempt to walk, and he may be able to pull himself up by reaching for furniture to help him. Make sure that there are no weak pieces of furnitureor objects around that may topple over if he tries to hold on to them, and be prepared to catch him if he falls over by losing his grip or balance.
He can sit on his own without support and places one leg stretched out while the other is flexed at the knee and tucked in towards his body. He can lean forwards and sideways without falling over. He is aware of the relationship between his body and movements, and those made by others. He combines several new skills together to complete a task.

Fine Motor Skills
He uses his thumb, first and second fingers to hold objects and can pick up small objects with greater precision. He holds on to objects for longer periods before dropping them and is fascinated by cause-and-effect actions like wheels turning to make a toy move.
He clasps his hands together and may clap and hit objects at the same time. He is interested in moving objects in and out of contained spaces and placing smaller objects within larger items like jars and boxes. He will point to objects, learning to use his fingers and thumbs together.

Language : Month 7

Your baby may be able to say some words like “mama”,“dada”, “bye bye”, and “baby”, and label objects using an imitation of its sound, such as “choo-choo” for train, “ba ba” for sheep and “whoof whoof” for dog.When you hear him say such words, reinforce his learning by pointing to the correct object and repeatingits name so he associates the sounds he makes with their meanings. He understands simple instructions and will respond to familiar sounds. Help him learn short sentences by repeating words such as “Where is daddy?” followed by “Here is daddy”, and then “Daddy is smiling at you.” You can also do this with actions, when you say “Look at the ball” you then point to the ball. He will speak more frequently but it is still primarily for his own enjoyment.

Emotion : Month 7

He will pat, smile and kiss mirror images, and loves looking at himself. He will make his feelings known by pushing awaysomething he doesn’t want, and will stop crying and become quiet when you talk to him.
He has developed food preferences and loves the taste of his favorite flavors. He will very clearly let you know if he likes or dislikes a certain food. He is sometimes scared of strangers and fears being separated from you, becoming clingy if you try to leave him. He doesn’t like being confined to a crib or playpen, and wants the space to explore and move. He enjoys the company of other children but won’t yet play with them because he is more interested in his own activities.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 7

Vocalizing
He loves to talk so encourage him to speak as much as possible. Play and sing games and say rhymes andpoems repetitively using the same emphasis. He adoreslistening to you so talk to him constantly and tell him what you are doing and the names of each object. He loves to make different noises so practice the soundsof animals while pointing to pictures or cartoons that you have drawn.

Making Noise
He likes making noise by banging objects, shaking and dropping them and particularly enjoys banging spoons against things. In the bath, he can pour water into plastic containers to create a splashing sound.
Use his body to make noises by playing games like “pat-a-cake” where you clap your two hands with his hands. You can also pat your knees and your head and have him copy you. If you position lots of objects in a circle around your child, he will move and orient himself to play with each of them.

How Can You Help : Month 7

Wrap up objects in newspapers and colorful paper and have him unwrap them to teach him that objectsdon’t disappear.
Lie on the floor and have him crawl to you.
Play clapping games to encourage coordination.
Play “hide and seek” and get him to move to find you.
Give him musical toys such as drums or objects that shake and get him to make noise to accompanying music.
Bounce him up and down on your lap to music or hold on to him in a standing position and dance.
Help him to stand up several times a day and to crawl towards objects.
When you say “No” use a consistent tone and only use the word when you mean it.
Read to him often and repeat words so that he can try to mimic the sounds.
Give him colorful blocks that he can begin to try to stack andknock over.
Hide a musical toy and get him to find it by following the location of the sound.
Play water games in the bath using toys that move and float.
Give him different foods so that he widens his preferences and has new taste experiences.
Let him eat finger foods that he can grasp in one hand.

Parenting: Islam's Positive Approach

2007-01-14T09:43:00.000+08:00

ONE of the greatest challenges a Muslim will ever face is being a parent. This is one challenge, however, many of us are least prepared for. Allah tells us in the Qur'an that our children are our trial and as such we should take the task of parenting seriously, and start learning from each other. In my experience in dealing with my own family and counseling other Muslim families, a model has developed based on what I call "The Positive Approach".

Compassion (Rahmah)

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated: "He is not of us who does not have compassion for his fellow beings." It is interesting to note that when it comes to Hadith like this or Qur'anic quotes dealing with human behavior, we never stop to think that our children and family members are also our fellow human beings and that these golden rules must also be applied to them. Compassion is only one component of the concept of mercy (rahmah) — the others being kindness, respect, and of course love. Remember the displeasure of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when Al-Aqra Ibn Habis told him how he had never kissed any of his 10 children. Upon hearing that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) told him, "You have no mercy and tenderness at all. Those who do not show mercy to others will not have God's mercy shown to them."

Consultation (Shoura)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) has related that Allah says: "Oh My servant. I look on high-handedness as something not permissible for Myself, and I have forbidden it for you. So do not oppress each other". When we consult with each other in the domestic realm, both husband and wife must show respect for each other. This is one of the best ways to bond and to learn and listen to each other and to resolve conflicts. However, the consultation will only be fruitful if it is sincere and not merely a formality. Imposition of one's ideas with scant regard to the welfare of the whole family unit defeats the purpose of the most important Qur'anic principle.

Cooperation

The concept of cooperation in Islam is most beautifully illustrated in Surah Al-Asr : "... counsel each other to the truth (haq), and counsel each other to patience and fortitude (sabr)". When a family unit cooperates in this manner, they truly capture the spirit of Islam — the welfare of each member of the family becomes the concern of the other.

Commitment

It is extremely important that our families commit themselves as a unit to Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him ): "Obey Allah and His Prophet and those in authority over you" (Surah An-Nisa). This collective commitment gives us an identity and maps out our purpose — namely that we all belong to Allah and are accountable and responsible to Him.

Communication

Communication is more than talking. It is an essential part of family life. It is both talking in a manner in which others can understand you, and hearing in a manner in which you can listen and understand others. So many times people claim that they have no communication problem since they are always talking. However, the majority of the time they are talking "at" and not talking "to" the other person. This mode usually results in the recipient tuning out. Many children learn at an early age to tune out their parents. When communication is a means of listening, understanding, and exchanging ideas, it is the most powerful tool to effective parenting and the best shield against peer and societal pressures. It also teaches children skills to solve problems.

An important component of positive communication is a sense of humor when parents and children can laugh together. Communication can also be instrumental in passing down family history and thus creating oneness and togetherness by sharing a mutual heritage (children love to hear about family stories).

Consistency

Effective parenting requires that we are consistent in our value judgments, discipline, and moral standards. Many parents inadvertently apply double standards to boys and girls when it comes to social behavior and domestic chores. This is unacceptable, and leads to sibling rivalry and stereotypical males and females.

Confidentiality

Family is with whom we can feel safe and secure. Where we know our secrets are safe and where there is mutual trust. Unfortunately, we parents often betray the trust of our children when we discuss their concerns which they confide in us to outsiders. This leads to mistrust, and sooner or later our children will stop confiding in us. This leads them to find confidants outside the family, and sometimes this can be detrimental to their spiritual and moral growth.

Contentment

The greatest gift we can give our children is that of contentment. This can be developed very early in life by encouraging our children to give thanks to Allah for all they have by discouraging materialism by word and example, and by counting the blessings every night and remembering the less fortunate.

Confidence

It is the duty of parents to build confidence in their children through encouragement and honest and sincere praise. By developing confidence, we give our children the courage to stand up for themselves and their beliefs and to be able to deal with opposition.

Control

By teaching restraint and avoiding excesses we develop in our children traits for control so that they do not become slaves to their desires (nafs).

Calm

By encouraging and showing calm in matters of adversity and in times of panic we improve our taqwa and teach our children to rely on Allah and to turn to Allah alone for all needs. Allah says in the Qur'an that the best statement of the believers in times of adversity or musibah is, "Indeed we are from Allah and to Him is our return."

Courage

Courage of conviction can only be achieved when we have been able to teach our children true Islam. We should take advantage of every learning opportunity as a family so that our faith (iman) flourishes and evolves toward Ihsan as a family unit. In this manner we can be a source of strength to each other.

Critical thinking

The Qur'an encourages us over and over again to think, reflect, ponder, understand and analyze. However, very rarely do parents encourage children to question. Our response to difficult inquiries from our children is to say "do it because I said so". This discourages the children from developing critical thinking. They become lazy and complacent and easy prey to cult type following. To take things at face value makes us vulnerable.

Charity

The most important attitude of a Muslim personality is, as Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated : "Do you not wish that Allah forgives you? Then forgive your brothers and sisters". Many relationships break because people are not able to forgive each other. It is important that parents make up in front of their children by forgiving each other after an argument. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stated "Like for your brother what you like for yourself". So if husbands and wives expect respect from each other they should give respect. A charitable nature also encourages us to overlook people with their shortcomings and to be sensitive and to have empathy.

Tough Teething

2006-12-24T15:07:00.000+08:00

[11122006] @Bukit Merah

As with most developmental milestones, there is no standard for when teething will begin, how long it will take, or how painful it will be. A baby's first tooth usually comes in around the seventh month, although it can arrive as early as three months, or as late as a year. Some common signs and symptoms of teething include:

Swelling - Swelling of the gum tissue is usually the first sign of impending tooth eruption.
Flushing or rash - Your child's cheek may appear flushed or develop a slight rash near where the tooth is erupting.
Drooling - Teething babies usually produce more saliva and will drool excessively.
Crankiness - Teething babies are often unusually cranky and irritable, and may

Try the following tips to help soothe teething pain:

Biting hard objects - Give your child hard objects such as teething rings, as these can ease some of the pain.
Cold - Frozen food such as a popsicle or frozen banana may also soothe your baby's gums during teething.
Numbing - There are several baby-safe teething gels available, such as Baby Orajel or Baby Ambesol, that you can apply directly to your baby's sore gums. However, some of these gels contain sugar so use them sparingly.
Baby ibuprofen - If your baby is going through a particularly painful phase, baby ibuprofen may help. As always, check with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.

Baby Step Journal : Month 6

Your baby is limited in the ways she can play with toys and items she finds around the house. To avoid her getting bored and beginning to throw tantrums, do your best to create variety by taking her to new places, introducing her to new people, and challenging her by making simple additions to her existing toys. Encourage and support her growing self-awareness by using her name frequently and identifying her possessions and those of other family members.

At six months, you can begin to wean your baby. Pediatricians recommend starting with a simple and finely textured rice cereal with milk. Dumex Nutrakids Fine Cereals is the best choice. New tastes will provide marvelous sensory experiences. Be prepared for a glorious mess when you first start feeding your child. Don’t dwell on the mess. If you focus on the fun, you will pave the way for an adventurous appetite and a lifelong love of food.

Motor Skills : Month 6

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby has good control over her body. She can bear her weight on one hand when lying on her tummy, and when you hold her she can take her weight on straight hips and legs and bounce up and down. She will help pull herself up and can stand while being supported. She can roll back and forth from her tummy to her back, and will tuck her knees up as if to crawl, rocking backwards and forwards on her knees. She sits unsupported which is great as her hands are free to play and reach for objects. She may be able to get herself into the sitting position unaided. She uses touch to distinguish between the textures of objects and enjoys a variety of different tactile sensations.

Fine Motor Skills
She uses her thumb and fingers to hold objects and will grasp using the palm of her hand. She will still overextend her fingers and grasping requires her full attention. She can hold two objects together simultaneously and coordinates her movements to bang them together to produce a noise.
She picks up objects, holding on to one while reaching for another, and is less likely to drop them. She can feed herself but much of her food will end up all over her face, hands and even her hair. She distinguishes between near and far objects and the space in between and judges distances more accurately. She uses one object to get another like pulling the cloth under a toy to bring it closer to her.

Language : Month 6

Your baby is listening to her own sounds and those made by others, and may say “dada” and/or “mama”. She says several sounds in one breath and tries to imitate sounds and their sequence.
She starts new conversations, anticipates repetition and may say repeat word after you have spoken it to her. Vowels and consonants are used randomly but she speaks using clear single syllables with actions, and may use double syllables. Her cries have changed and she uses low and high pitches, as well as a new nasal sound.
She begins to understand the meaning of “No” and she responds with understanding as you talk, especially if you associate your speech with actions. She enjoys making noises, blowing air through her mouth while quickly flapping her lips (blowing raspberries) and uses her mouth in new ways to generate sounds.

Emotion : Month 6

She likes being with other babies and will reach out to touch and feel them. She may cry if you leave her with someone unfamiliar so make sure you give her time to adjust to being with strangers or people she doesn’t know well. She remembers the faces of people she sees frequently and she clearly recognizes the facial expressions that represent different emotions. She anticipates and loves activities like bath time and bedtime if you have established a routine of playing with her in the bath, or reading to her or giving her cuddles before you put her to sleep.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 6

New Objects
Your baby can only do limited things with objects such as banging, rattling, throwing and dropping them, so she will soon get bored playing with the same toys and objects. Let her play with household items so she can practice adjusting her grip, touching new surfaces, and manipulating a variety of weights using her hands and arms.

You can attach strings to her toys so she learns what happens when she pulls them. You don’t need to buy new toys: your baby is just as happy with plastic cups, spoons, bottles, paper, and saucepans. Remember that she will still try to place the objects in her mouth so make sure there are no sharp edges or small parts.

How Can You Help : Month 6

Create variety in her environment: new people, toys, and experiences.
Encourage her to move her body to crowl and sit up.
Let her feed herself.
Show her lots of physical affection – she continues to learn what this feels like and how to give love to others.
Teach her about herself by naming her and her things, like asking her “Whose teddy bear is this?” Then you can say, “That’s Jasmine’s teddy bear”.
Play touching games by letting her touch you and explore your face.
Make funny faces in the mirror with her watching and then get her to copy you.
Blow bubbles and have her try and catch them.
Show her an object, then hide it and have her find it.

Motor Skills : Month 5

Gross Motor Skills

Your baby is becoming more active physically and has a greater range of movement. He can turn and twist in all directions when placed on a mattress or floor and rolls from his back to his stomach. When lying on his tummy he may get up on his hands and knees in an effort to crawl, and will be able to move a short distance, but he is yet to master the complete crawling action.
He may start by crawling backwards first as instinctively he will push rather than pull himself. His arms are now strong enough to hold his upper body weight.
The moro reflex is still present and he will startle if his pillow or crib is knocked. He can stand if supported, sits with slight support, and can sit in a high chair, but you may wish to add cushions to help him. When held standing upright he may try to bend and straighten his legs as if to jump. He enjoys being able to feel his own body weight when standing or pushing his body up off the ground with his arms.

Fine Motor Skills

He can hold on to a bottle, manipulate objects by turning his wrist, and pick up an object with each hand, and he reaches out to grasp things using one arm. He can lift a cup by its handle but will not yet be able to balance it well enough to drink from it. He enjoys sitting up because he can use both his hands to grasp objects and explore. He explores objects through shaking, rattling, throwing and dropping them.

He is very interested in small particles like crumbs, small toys, and buttons and will examine them in detail so you need to be careful because they usually all end up in his mouth. He will stretch out for objects that are beyond his reach, and he is learning to twist and bend his body so that he can extend further. He may end up toppling over on to his tummy when he reaches out too far.

Language : Month 5

Your baby will speak using vowels that are interspersed with more consonants and he has more control over sounds, using a variety of tones, pitches and speeds when he talks.

He will vocalize his feelings and coo, gurgle and giggle when he is pleased, and grunt, growl or complain when he is displeased.

He blows bubbles and will begin to make new sounds, as well as repeat “ka”, “da” and “ma” very often. He talks to himself in the mirror although he responds to the sounds of words rather than their meaning; he may start to understand simple sentences such as “Mummy is giving you a bath”. He recognizes his name and will look at you when you call him.

Emotion : Month 5

Your baby will discriminate between people and may become anxious when surrounded by strangers, andbecome possessive of you. He can distinguish between children and adults and will interact with them in different ways, for example playing with children and asking adults for help.

He gets excited when he hears someone coming and will make a lot of sound to get attention. He will reach out to touch you and explore your face while he smiles at you. He will begin to display clear preferences for play activities and favorite toys or books. He can stay awake for longer periods and resists the urge to sleep if he is having fun.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 5

Manipulating Objects

He loves grasping objects, having multiple objects to choose from, and shaking, throwing and dropping to discover more about them. He is fascinated by new things and is curious to see and touch everything. He loves objects that have different textures and multiple parts

Pop up books with flaps, buttons, noises and a range of colors are great for him, as well as activity centers where he has to manipulate a button or knob to create a noise, cause something to move, pop up or play music.

How Can You Help : Month 5

Encourage him to splash his arms and legs in the bath to strengthen his muscles
Crawl with your baby to encourage him to copy you.
Show him new actions such as stretching out his arms, reaching over to touch his toes, and placing his hands on his hips.
Play lifting games where you swing him in the air to encourage him to reach out his arms.
Push a ball towards him and drop objects to show him cause and effect.
Place objects just out of his reach to encourage him to crawl.
Give him a range of objects to play with that have multiple colors.
Have him play with other children so he can learn and copy them.

Membiasakan anak "Hidup Bersama" Al-Quran

2006-11-15T09:39:00.000+08:00

Setiap orangtua pasti menginginkan buah hatinya menjadi anak yang soleh dan solehah. Anak soleh-solehah merupakan harta yang paling berharga bagi orangtua. Untuk mendapatkan semua itu, tentu harus ada kesungguhan yang tinggi dari orangtua dalam mendidik anak. Salah satu yang wajib diajarkan kepada anak adalah segala hal tentang al-Quran kerana ia adalah pedoman hidup manusia.

Rasulullah saw. pernah bersabda: "Didiklah anak-anakmu dengan tiga perkara: mencintai Nabimu, mencintai ahlul baitnya dan membaca al-Quran kerana orang-orang yang memelihara al-Quran itu berada dalam lindungan singahsana Allah pada hari ketika tidak ada perlindungan selain daripada perlindungan-Nya; mereka beserta para nabi-Nya dan orang-orang suci." (HR ath-Thabrani)

Allah SWT berfirman: "Sesungguhnya al-Quran ini memberikan petunjuk kepada jalan yang lebih lurus dan memberikan khabar gembira kepada orang-orang Mukmin yang mengerjakan amal soleh bahwa bagi mereka ada pahala yang besar." (QS al-Isra’ 17: 9)

Bermula bila al-Quran sebaiknya diajarkan pada anak? Tentu seawal mungkin. Semakin awal semakin baik. Akan sangat bagus jika sejak anak dalam kandungan seolah-olah calon anak kita itu sudah terbiasa “hidup bersama” al-Quran, yakni ketika si ibu yang mengandungnya, rajin membaca al-Quran.

7M Agar Anak Selalu Hidup Bersama al-Quran

Mengenalkan

Saat yang paling tepat mengenalkan al-Quran adalah ketika anak sudah mulai tertarik dengan buku. Sayang, banyak orangtua yang lebih suka menyimpan al-Quran di rak almari paling atas. Sesekali perlihatkanlah al-Quran kepada anak sebelum mereka mengenal buku-buku lain, apalagi buku dengan gambar-gambar yang lebih menarik. Mengenalkan al-Quran juga boleh dilakukan dengan mengenalkan terlebih dulu huruf-huruf hijaiyah; bukan mengajarinya membaca, tetapi sekadar memperlihatkannya sebelum anak mengenal A, B, C, D. Tempelkan gambar-gambar tersebut ditempat yang sering dilihat anak; lengkapi dengan gambar dan warna yang menarik. Dengan sering melihat, anak akan terpancing untuk bertanya lebih lanjut. Saat itulah kita boleh memperkenalkan huruf-huruf al-Quran.

Memperdengarkan

Memperdengarkan ayat-ayat al-Quran boleh dilakukan secara langsung atau dengan memainkan kaset atau CD. Kalau ada teori yang mengatakan bahwa mendengarkan muzik klasik pada janin dalam kandungan akan meningkatkan kecerdasan, insya Allah memperdengarkan al-Quran akan jauh lebih baik pengaruhnya bagi bayi. Apalagi jika ibunya yang membacanya sendiri. Ketika membaca al-Quran, suasana hati dan pikiran ibu akan menjadi lebih khusyuk dan tenang. Kondisi seperti ini akan sangat membantu perkembangan psikologis janin yang ada dalam kandungan. Pasalnya, secara teoretis kondisi psikologis ibu tentu akan sangat berpengaruh pada perkembangan bayi, khususnya perkembangan psikologisnya. Kondisi tertekan pada Ibu tentu akan berpengaruh buruk pada kandungannya.

Memperdengarkan al-Quran boleh dilakukan kapan saja dan dimana saja; juga tidak mengenal batas usia anak. Untuk anak-anak yang belum boleh berbicara, insya Allah lantunan ayat al-Quran itu akan terakam dalam memorinya. Jangan aneh kalau tiba-tiba si kecil lancar melafazkan surah al-Fatihah, misalnya, begitu dia boleh berbicara. Untuk anak yang lebih besar, memperdengarkan ayat-ayat al-Quran (surah-surah pendek) kepadanya terbukti memudahkan si anak menghafalkannya.

Menghafalkan

Menghafalkan al-Quran boleh dimulai sejak anak lancar berbicara. Mulailah dengan surah atau ayat yang pendek atau potongan ayat (misalnya fastabiq al-khayrât, hudan li an-nâs, birr al-walidayn, dan sebagainya). Menghafal boleh dilakukan dengan cara seringkali membacakan ayat-ayat tersebut kepada anak. Lalu latihlah anak untuk menirukannya. Hal ini dilakukan berulang-ulang sampai anak hafal di luar kepala. Masa anak-anak adalah masa meniru dan memiliki daya ingat yang luar biasa. Orangtua harus menggunakan kesempatan ini dengan baik jika tidak ingin menyesal kehilangan masa emas (golden age) pada anak.

Agar anak lebih mudah mengingat, ayat yang sedang dihafal anak boleh juga sering dibaca ketika ayah menjadi imam atau ketika naik kereta dalam perjalanan. Disamping anak tidak mudah lupa, hal itu juga sebagai upaya membiasakan diri untuk mengisi kesibukan dengan amalan yang bermanfaat. Nabi saw. bersabda: "Demi Zat Yang jiwaku ada di tangan-Nya, sesungguhnya hafalan al-Quran itu lebih cepat lepasnya daripada seekor unta pada tambatannya." (HR al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

Membaca

"Siapa saja yang membaca satu huruf dari Kitab Allah maka dia akan mendapat satu kebaikan. Satu kebaikan akan dibalas dengan sepuluh kali lipat. Aku tidak mengatakan bahwa alif-lam-mim adalah satu huruf. Akan tetapi, alif adalah satu huruf, lam satu huruf, dan mim juga satu huruf." (HR at-Tirmidzi).

Sungguh luar biasa pahala dan kebaikan yang dijanjikan kepada siapa saja yang biasa membaca al-Quran. Bimbing dan doronglah anak agar terbiasa membaca al-Quran setiap hari walau cuma beberapa ayat. Orangtua penting memberikan contoh. Jadikanlah membaca al-Quran, utamanya pada pagi hari usai shalat subuh atau usai shalat magrib, sebagai kegiatan rutin dalam keluarga. Ajaklah anak-anak yang belum boleh membaca untuk bersama-sama mendengarkan kakak-kakaknya yang sedang membaca al-Quran. Orangtua mempunyai kewajipan untuk mengajarkan kaedah-kaedah dan adab membaca al-Quran.

Untuk boleh membaca al-Quran, termasuk mengetahui keadah-kaedahya, sekarang ini tidaklah sulit. Telah banyak metode yang ditawarkan untuk boleh mudah dan cepat membaca. Ada metode Iqra, Qiroati dan sebagainya. Metode-metode itu telah terbukti memudahkan ribuan anak-anak bahkan orangtua untuk mahir membaca al-Quran.

Alangkah baiknya membaca al-Quran ini dilakukan secara bersama-sama oleh anak-anak di bawah bimbingan orangtua. Ketika seorang anak membaca, yang lain menyemaknya. Jika anak salah membaca, yang lain boleh membetulkan. Dengan cara itu, rumah akan selalu dipenuhi dengan bacaan al-Quran sehingga berkah.

Menulis

Belajar menulis akan mempermudah anak dalam belajar membaca al-Quran. Ditekan kepada anak kata-kata tertentu yang mempunyai makna. Dengan begitu, selain anak boleh menulis, sekaligus anak belajar bahasa Arab. Mulailah dengan kata-kata pendek. Misalnya, untuk mengenalkan tiga kata alif, ba, dan dal anak diminta menulis a, ba da (tolong tuliskan Arabnya, ya: a-ba-da) artinya diam; ba-da-a (yang ini juga) ertinya mulai; dan sebagainya. Sesekali di rumah, coba adakan lomba menulis ayat al-Quran. Berilah hadiah untuk anak yang paling rapi menulis. Jika anak memiliki kemampuan yang lebih dalam menulis huruf al-Quran, ia boleh diajari lebih lanjut dengan mempelajari seni kaligrafi. Rangkaian huruf menjadi sukukata yang mengandung arti bertujuan untuk melatih anak dalam memperkaya kosakata, di samping memberikan kesempatan bagi mereka untuk bertanya tentang setiap kata yang diucapkan serta mengembangkan cita rasa seni mereka. Jadi, tidak hanya bertujuan mengenalkan huruf al-Quran semata.

Mengkaji

Ajaklah anak mulai mengkaji isi al-Quran. Ayah boleh memimpinnya setelah solat magrib atau subuh. Paling tidak, seminggu sekali kajian sekeluarga ini dilakukan. Tema yang dingkat boleh saja tema-tema yang ingin disampaikan berkaitan dengan perkembangan perilaku anak selama satu minggu atau beberapa hari. Kajian bersama, dengan merujuk pada satu atau dua ayat al-Quran ini, sekaligus dapat menjadi sarana tawsiyah untuk seluruh anggota keluarga. Sekali waktu, tema yang akan dikaji boleh diserahkan kepada anak-anak.

Adakalanya anak diminta untuk memimpin kajian. Orangtua boleh memberi arahan atau koreksi jika ada hal-hal yang kurang tepat. Cara ini sekaligus untuk melatih keberanian anak menyampaikan isi al-Quran.

Mengamalkan dan memperjuangkan

Al-Quran tentu tidak hanya untuk dibaca, dihafal dan dikaji. Justru yang paling penting adalah diamalkan seluruh isinya dan diperjuangkan agar benar-benar dapat menyinari kehidupan manusia. Sampaikan kepada anak tentang kewajipan mengamalkan serta memperjuangkan al-Quran dan pahala yang akan diraihnya. Insya Allah, hal ini akan memotivasi anak. Kepada anak juga boleh diceritakan tentang bagaimana para Sahabat dulu yang sangat teguh berpegang pada al-Quran; ceritakan pula bagaimana mereka bersama Rasulullah sepanjang hidupnya berjuang agar al-Quran tegak dalam kehidupan.

Motor Skills : Month 4

Gross Motor Skills

Your baby can now lift her head and chest high off the floor or mattress when placed on her tummy. She brings her feet to her mouth and sucks on her toes. She can easily stand when pulled up and moves her body up and down when supported. She stamps her feet one after the other when standing and moves her limbs vigorously in any position. She can sit supported for long periods and is able to control her head and keep it in line with her body, although it may wobble if she moves suddenly. Your child knows how to move her body from a sitting to a standing position when helped. She uses her body to communicate, such as lifting her arms when she wants to be picked up.

Fine Motor Skills

Your baby’s aim has improved and she can now reach out and grasp at objects more successfully. She can move objects from one hand to another and may hold objects with two hands or one hand with a firm grip. However, at times she may have difficulty releasing the object. She still places things in her mouth to touch and discover their shape and texture. She likes to reach out and grab dangling objects like long hair, ties, necklaces and earrings.

Language : Month 4

She looks at mouths very closely and tries to imitate and experiment moving her mouth and making new sounds. She responds well to sounds made by people and will look to see who is speaking. She can utter vowel sounds, several consonants such as “d”, “b”, “l”, and “m”, and may be able to combine them e.g. “ba”. She also tries to talk and attract your attention by using facial expressions and uttering different sounds like babbling, squeaking, and laughing. She may talk spontaneously to her toys and she knows and responds to her name.

Emotion : Month 4

Your child will make faces and noises in imitation to displays of emotion around her. She is happy in the presence of other people and will make noises to interrupt conversations and draw attention to her. She will protest when toys are taken away from her and when she is left alone, but will stop crying when she is talked to. She may begin to distinguish between strangers and those familiar to her, and react by crying if she is left with unfamiliar people or cannot see you.

Your baby is interested in new things and will use her arms and legs to lift her body off the ground to look around. She moves her head to look at new objects and reaches out to touch them.

Communicating
She will try to communicate with you both verbally and physically and loves being talked to. Make sure you describe the activities you are doing and give her a chance to verbally respond. Mimic her noises and she will feel loved and understood.

Physical Activity
Her muscles are much stronger and she wants to use her body far more than in previous months. She will enjoy more physical games like gentle “tug of war” where you give your child a toy and then playfully try to pull it away. Let her keep hold of the object so she can get used to grasping more strongly. Action games like hitting saucepans to make a noise and singing songs that involve movement will be enjoyed, as she loves music and moving her body. You can play music and show her how her body can “dance” in time to the rhythm.

How Can You Help : Month 4

Place her in a bouncer to let her practice pushing off the ground with her legs.
Introduce new noises like rattling rice or pasta in a jar, scrunching up newspapers, or kicking leaves outside.
Make sure she practices grasping objects by moving them towards her so she can reach out and take them.
Lay her on her back and place your hands above her so she can reach with her arms and kick out with her legs to touch you.
Call her by name and use happy tones and facial expressions.
Respond positively when she attracts your attention.
Continue to rock her gently to encourage head and muscle stability.
Make sure she is introduced to visitors and feels part of the group.
Play give and take with objects – give them to her and then encourage her to give it back to you.
Keep up a routine with regular feeding, sleeping and bathing times so that she can anticipate regular events. This will make her feel secure.

Smile is Saqadah!!

Baby Step Journal : Month 3

2006-08-19T12:34:00.000+08:00

Sleeping Beuty

Tasnim Amani : Month 3

Your baby will smile more and babble on delightfully. He will begin to reach out more for things and hold onto small objects without dropping them. He is gaining more and more strength and his motor skillsare improving rapidly. Play lots of games with your child and encourage him to begin to turn pages of a cardboard or plastic storybook.
He may even be able to turn multiple pages of a magazine but could easily tear them so don’t give him anything that you are not willing to have destroyed. He is learning more about cause and effect and will lovesplashing his arms and legs to enjoy the movement of the water.

Motor Skills : Month 3

Gross Motor Skills

Your baby’s movements are now more controlled and he can perform many actions. He can turn his head around whether he is seated or lying down.
When lying on his back he may move his head forward to look at his hands playing with his feet, which he has recently discovered. He can cross his feet and move one foot to touch his other leg, and he moves his hands and feet in unison.
He can hold himself up when on his tummy by placing his weight on his forearms, and now keeps his head at a 90-degree angle with the ground.
He can roll from his tummy to his back but can’t yet roll from his back to his tummy. When he is pulled up on to his feet he will extend his legs and hold his body in a vertical position, in the same plane as his hands and feet. Your baby loves sitting up but he requires some support so you need to watch him as he can quickly roll over. His muscles continue to strengthen and he will keep practicing new skills as they appear. He is beginning to distinguish his body and his actions as separate from the outside world.

Fine Motor Skills

Your baby can use his hands with more precision but he has not yet learned how to use his fingers separately or grasp objects properly. He can hold on to small objects without dropping them, and can pull dangling objects towards himself. He is still inaccurate in his judgments of distance and location when he reaches out to take an object, however his vision is improving. He continues to place objects in his mouth like his hands, fingers, toys and clothing.

Language : Month 3

Your baby will continue to form new sounds such as “da”, “ba”, “ma”, “pa”, and “ga” and he begins to understand that objects, including people, havedifferent names. Although his communication at this point may seem tobe random, he is experimenting with his voice. It won’t be until around 6 to 8 months that he can combine vocal sounds to make simple words like “ma-ma”, da-da” and “bye-bye” and understand their meaning.

He communicates using facial expressions such as smiling when he is happy and scrunching up his face when he doesn’t like something. He recognizes tones and becomes upset when he hears an angry, startling or loud voice even though he can’t yet understand the words spoken. He can laugh and expresses happiness with sounds like giggles, squeals and gurgles. Your baby will be able to locate the direction of a sound and imitates noises that he hears frequently.

Emotion : Month 3

Your baby will show a range of moods through his sounds and facial expressions. He responds positively to beingtouched and carried and prefers to be held rather than to lie down. He tries to gain and hold the attention of people and will make sounds to help him. He is more interested in socializing and may start to cry if playtime is disrupted. He can wait to be fed and will entertain and sooth himself.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 3

Games
Play lots of games with your child. He loves to express emotions like happiness and excitement and will delight in jokes and games that are humorous. He enjoys handling toys that make noise and objects that he can manipulate – even the pages of a storybook. He likes being the centre of attention so have several people play games with him. Bath time is now more fun because he is learning that his actions cause things to happen and he will move his arms and legs vigorously to splash the water.

How Can You Help : Month 3

Use activity boards to help your child manipulate objects of different shapes and sizes.
Tie a rattle to his wrist and show him how to move his wrist and body to make the rattle shake.
Play hiding games where he has to “discover” you by covering your head with a handkerchief and let him pull it off. Do the same with his favorite toys.
Give him objects to grasp and then take them away to encourage him to open and close his hands.
Speak in tones that are appropriate to the emotion you are feeling, but avoid using an angry or overly loud voice.
Explain everything that you do, and tell him the names and labels of the objects he encounters.
Touch each part of his body and tell him the name of the body part and then help him to touch you while you repeat the names so he learns what they feel like.
Show him picture books and say the sound that the object makes, as well as its name, like saying, “moo” when you point to a picture of a cow.
Play games that encourage him to move his body and reach for objects.
Tickle his feet and hands gently to encourage him to laugh, and laugh with him.
Encourage him to use his memory by taking a toy away for several days and then returning it to him.
Consciously use all the different sensory forms of communication – visual, auditory, and kinesthetic - even if you may have a preference for one of them.

Baby Step Journal : Month 2

2006-07-20T14:24:00.000+08:00

Tasnim Amani : Month 2

During this month your baby will be able to sit with lesshelp but continue to support her head and shoulders. She will be able to focus enough to see her reflection in the mirror and will enjoy looking at herself often.Your little one will use her mouth and hands to discover objects so expose her to new textures. She will cry less as she discovers different ways to attract your attention. Continue to respond quickly to her cries and noises because this will make her feel loved and secure.

Motor Skills : Month 2

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby continues to progress from reflexive to voluntary movements. She can lift her head when placed on her back or her stomach and holds it in line with her body for short periods. She can now turn over unaided from her back to her stomach. Your child moves her legs vigorously and can coordinate the movements of her arms and legs on one side of her body, and canalso move her arms together or her legs together. She stands briefly when held and will automaticallytry to pull herself up off the ground when you reach out and hold both of her hands. Over the course of the month she will be able to sit with less help but you should still support her body and her head. Your baby will suck at her fingers and fists and can open and close her hands. She is be able to focus on herself in a mirror and adjusts her eyes to focus on different distances.

Fine Motor Skills
Her movements are still uncoordinated and she reaches for objects without being able to judge the distance or target, and is unlikely to grasp hold of them. She is beginning to understand near and far distances but will reach out with both her arms and may touch the object with closed rather than open hands. Your baby will use her hands as well as her mouth to discover an object. When something is placed in her hand she will hold on to it voluntarily for several seconds, but she won’t be able to pick it up when she drops it.

Language : Month 2

Your child will begin to form single syllable vowel like sounds and makes different noises depending on her need and emotion. She listens to your voice, distinguishes between different sounds and will also visually try to locate the sound. She will communicate with you through a wider range ofcries that you can easily distinguish, and she may start crying less as she begins to use other ways to attract your attention. She will start to imitate repetitive sounds and responds to you vocally when you talk to her.

Emotion : Month 2

Your baby will smile spontaneously and regularly and will recognize different family members. She may start crying if someone unfamiliar tries to pick her up or hold her, and conversely she may suddenly stop crying when someone familiar picks her up and holds her, as her awareness of familiar and unfamiliar people becomes heightened.
She vocalizes her feelings and differentiates her responses towards you and other members of the household, and will try to attract your attention.
Social stimulation is important at this age and your baby responds positively to activities, being around people, and when you talk to her. Your little one moves her body physically to express happiness and will use her arms and legs. She remembers routine and anticipates and responds with excitement to familiar activities such as feeding and bath time. Her patterns of sleeping, eating and being alert are usually regulated by now.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 2

Physical Activities
Your baby is discovering her body and as her muscle strengthincreases she uses her body in a range of activities. Help herby moving her body through activities like very gently bouncing her up and down while standing on your lap, or hanging objects thatmake a sound above her crib so she can reach out with her armsand legs and make them rattle and squeak. She can focus onobjects more clearly so you can read her storybooks and pointout the pictures. She enjoys games that involve movement such as peek-a-boo.

How Can You Help : Month 2

Respond to her cries and her noises -it is her way of communicating with you.
Allow your baby time to respond to you when you talk to her.
Sing songs and nursery rhymes and rhyming games that involve her body.
Give her toys that make sounds when she touches them.
Place a mirror where she can look at herself.
Play physical games such as pulling her arms up and down, tickling her feet, and bouncing her gently on your lap.
Place objects slightly away from her and have her reach for them.
Read stories with pictures so she can see them.
Maintain eye contact with her when you are talking to her and feeding her so that she knows you are paying attention.
Imitate the sounds she makes to give her positive feedbackthat she is being understood.
Hold her standing upright so she begins to learn how to control her body and to balance.

Baby Step Journal : Month 1

2006-07-06T10:17:00.000+08:00

Motor Skills : Month 1

Gross Motor Skills
Your baby has developed greater muscle strength and consequently her reflexive behavior will lessen. She will begin to move her arms and legs voluntarily, stretching out her body from the fetal position. She can hold his head up for several minutes when lying on his tummy and on her back. When she is sitting she keeps her head in line with his back, but it will still bob back and forth slightly so you need to continue to support her head. Your baby follows objects with her eyes and will stare at attractive large objects as she begins to see color. She will still find it difficult to see small objects.

Fine Motor Skills
Your baby's grasp reflex reduces as she becomes aware of her hands and fingers she will reach out for objects using more controlled actions. Objects are likely to end up in her mouth because the sucking reflex is still very strong and taste is an important sense for newborn babies.

Language : Month 1

Your baby will begin to vocalize a greater range of sounds but his primary form of communication will still be crying. She recognizes and responds to your voice using small throaty sounds, coos and giggles, and may even move her body in unison with making these sounds. Because her eyesight is improving she can anticipate the sound you will make by looking at the shape of your mouth. Make sure your baby can see your face when you talk to her, and use exaggerated facial movements so she learns how to form sounds and words.

Emotion : Month 1

Your baby will show emotions like delight, distress, and excitement. She will move her body when she becomes excited and will become quiet when you hold her. She is also learning to quiet herself by sucking on her fingers or objects. Your baby will smile at you when she sees you from a distance, both as a form of recognition and as a display of emotion. She remembers activities that make her feel loved and will eagerly anticipate events like bath time and feeding. She will spend more time awake and stays awake longer if stimulated by people. She responds well to routine and will begin to sleep and eat at more regular intervals.

What Your Baby Enjoys : Month 1

Visual Stimulation
Your child's eyesight is developing and her range of vision increases. She loves to look at faces and moving objects especially those with sound effects. Use bright colors and play with your child by making the objects move and interact with her while you talk. Look at your child when you talk to her and show emotions through the tone of your voice and your facial expressions.

Physical Stimulation
Your baby is becoming aware of her body and loves the feeling of being touched and held. Move your baby's arms and legs gently and continue to massage her as you did in the first month. You can touch each part of your child's body while telling her its name. Show her the motion of her arms and legs so he learns how the different parts of her body move. Give your child small toys and encourage her to grasp them by bending her fingers around the objects.

How Can You Help : Month 1

Play a range of music to your child and sing to her.
Have your child stand and hold her while her legs take her own weight for a second.
Place objects close by so she has to move her head to see them.
Move objects within reach to encourage your child to reach out and grab hold of them.
Place toys in his crib that he can kick out at.
Play peek-a-boo.
Encourage your child to follow objects with her eyes and body by moving them slowly around the room.
Stroke your baby gently with different textures and materials such as feathers, tissue paper and cloth to show her how things feel.
Introduce her to new smells – her sense of smell is highly developed and she will enjoy the variety.
Set aside regular time for cuddles and closeness to make your baby feel loved and secure.

Tasnim Amani 1 Months Old

2006-07-04T21:10:00.000+08:00

Sebulan usia hmm sedar tak sedar...pejam celik pejam celik...baby Tasnim dah pon berusia 1 bulan pada 19 Jun 2006. So Isnin lepas ummi & abi dah bw Tasnim ke klinik desa utk pemeriksaan rutin baby...dekat je ngan umah! Semasa Tasnim lahir, dia dah diberi suntikan BCG & HEP B dos yg pertama. After sebulan kelahiran, Tasnim & baby² lain akan disuntik dgn HEP B dos yg kedua. Suntikan ni xmendtgkan kesan sampingan, cumenye Tasnim akan rase sakit semasa dicucuk. Setelah berusia 2 bulan nnt, Tasnim akan diberi suntikan DTP, HIB, & ORAL POLIO dos pertama. Kali ni mungkin baby² akan demam sedikit...kata nurse di klinik desa tu. Suntikan DTP, HIB, & ORAL POLIO diberikan semula seusia 3 bulan bagi dos kedua dan dos ketiga setelah berusia 5 bulan. Hmm ade byk lg suntikan² yg akan dilalui sehingga Tasnim mencecah 12 tahun nnt.

Pagi Isnin tu, abg bw Nisa & Tasnim ke klinik kire² pukul 9.30pagi++. Sampai di klinik ade 4 ibu² dan baby yg sedang menunggu utk diperiksa. Tasnim pula seperti biasa akan lena tidur pada siang hari...xkisah bising ke ape ke...syok aje dia tidur. Tp bl mlm...syok pulak dia berjaga Kad ditinggalkan di atas meja berhadapan dgn makcik nurse. Menunggu seketika, abg pulang sekejap. Lama kemudian, nurse menyuruh ibu² sekalian menanggalkan baju baby utk ditimbang berat. Tasnim sudah naik 1.2kg dlm masa sebulan dgn hanya minum susu alhamdulillah, sihat anak ummi. Sekarang berat Tasnim dah mencapai 3.7kg. Tasnim pon sudah mudah dipegang, badannye dah mula berisi dah keras sket utk dipegang. Ummi dan abi pon dah pandai mandikan Tasnim. Sebelum nih, opah/tok/atok je yg mandikan dia. Ketinggian/panjang baby jgk diukur...seusia lahir, ketinggian Tasnim 47cm setelah sebulan Tasnim semakin tinggi 52.5cm org yg dah melihat Tasnim sume kata yg Tasnim ikut abinye...tinggi orgnye hmm xikut umminye yg kecik comey je. Ukur lilit kepala Tasnim sewaktu lahir ialah 31cm dan kini 35cm. Tasnim berdarah B pon mewarisi abinye.

Setelah selesai semua urusan tu, Tasnim menunggu giliran utk dicucuk pula. Hmm jarumnye mcm nak cucuk org besar aje...sian anak ummi. Tiba giliran Tasnim, abi tunggu di sebelah ummi...utk tenangkan si kecil. Bila nurse tu cucuk jarum ke paha kiri Tasnim...dia diam aje, smp nurse tu ckp 'eh, xsakit ke...?' abes je ayat tuh, Tasnim pon jerit. Selesai semua urusan...abi, ummi & Tasnim pon pulang ke rumah.

Baby Step Journal : Month 0

2006-07-03T12:23:00.000+08:00

Motor Skills : Month 0

Gross Motor Skills
In her first month your baby will be able to use very simple motor skills. She may hold her head up to be in a vertical line with her back when she is in a sitting position, but her head will need to be supported. She has the strength to lift her head only briefly when lying on her back.

Reflex Actions
Your baby will make automatic and involuntary movements with her arms, legs and head. These are a natural part of her overall development. These reflex actions will continue until your child's eyesight improves, she learns to control her movements and gains muscle strength. Some common reflex actions that you will observe in your child are:

Grasp Reflex: She will automatically tighten her fist around any object that is placed in her hand and will hold firmly.
Rooting Reflex: When you brush your baby's cheek with your nipple or a teat she will automatically turn her head towards it. This reflex action enables her to be ready to feed.
Sucking Reflex: Related to the rooting reflex, she will automatically begin to suck on any soft object placed in her mouth.
Walking Reflex: When your baby is held upright near the ground she will automatically move her legs as if to walk.
Babinski's Reflex: This is also a walking reflex and is triggered when you stroke your child's foot, starting from the heel and moving towards the toes. Your child will prepare her foot for walking by bending her big toe backwards and spreading out her other toes.
Moro or Startled Reflex: When startled she will try to protect herself by opening her eyes, arching her back and stretching out her arms and legs.

Fine Motor Skills
Your baby will not reach for objects: instead she will stare at them and grasp them only if they are within close proximity. Using her grasp reflex your child will keep her hands in little fists or slightly open and will grasp things when placed in her hands. Because she does not yet have the strength to maintain her grip, she will quickly drop them.

Language : Month 0

Your baby will look at you when you speak and will recognize your voice. She will respond well to high-pitched melodic sounds like singing and when you read nursery rhymes aloud. Speak to her slowly and clearly so she can become familiar with your language. This will help her form words later when she begins to talk. If you want your child to be multi-lingual, speak to her in several languages and she will learn to understand them all.

Crying
In the first month your baby will be able to cry and make gurgling noises but she will not form any recognizable words until much later: she will be able to verbally communicate with you only by crying. Sometimes it's hard as a parent to distinguish what each cry means. Surprisingly enough however, you will become familiar with her different cries and begin to understand what she needs by observing and touching her.

Here are some reasons why she may cry:

Hunger
Thirst
Temperature - being too hot or too cold
Loneliness
Illness
Tiredness
Wind
Anger
Over stimulation - too many people holding or playing with her
Under stimulation - boredom
Cuddles - wanting closeness and your attention
Colic

Emotion : Month 0

Your baby will show little emotional maturity in the first month. She will respond appropriately to comfort and pain, make eye-to-eye contact within a 20-25 cm (8-10 inch) range and will move her arms and legs when she becomes stimulated or excited. She will recognize your smell and your voice, however her smiles may still be reflexive and not the result of recognition or a display of happiness. She will not yet be able to establish consistent patterns of behavior and will want to sleep and eat at irregular intervals.

What Your Baby Enjoy : Month 0

Massage
Your baby loves being touched and caressed and massage is a great way for you to bond with your baby. Don’t worry if you have never massaged anyone before, simply touching your baby gently will show her your warmth and love.

Closeness/Touch
Your baby loves being close to you. Cuddling her using skin to skin contact, talking to her while looking directly at her, picking her up and rocking her gently on your shoulder, reading her stories and taking her for walks while talking to her, are all activities that will make her feel loved and help you to form a close bond with your child.

How Can You Help : Month 0

Hold your face 8-10 inches (20-25cm) away from her when you are talking.
Use a “happy voice”: sing, laugh, smile, and use rhythm in your voice.
Talk to her constantly – just because she can’t understand you does not mean that she isn’t learning. Repetition is critical in helping her learn language skills so repeat the same words often.
Show your emotions through the tone of your voice and your facial expressions.
Babies recognize faces first so draw cartoons of faces and place them in her cot so she can see them when she is lying down.
Place a hanging mobile or toy over her cot and hang it close to her face so she can see it.
Move her fingers, arms and legs so that she becomes aware of her body.
Introduce her to new people and new surroundings.
Take her for walks in a sling or pram – it will be good for both of you!

Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan semesta alam

Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang

Yang menguasai hari pembalasan

Hanya kepada Engkaulah kami menyembah dan hanya kepada Engkaulah kami memohon pertolongan

Tunjukilah kami jalan yang lurus,

(iaitu) jalan orang-orang yang telah Engkau anugerahkan nikmat kepada mereka, bukan (jalan) mereka yang dimurkai dan bukan (pula jalan) mereka yang sesat.
