Research has shown that around 16 to 18 weeks of pregnancy, babies can begin to hear, and at 26 weeks they can react to the sounds they hear. Also at around 18 weeks, babies can begin to feel when their mother moves around, and at 26 weeks they react when the belly is rubbed. Both of these senses can be used by parents to their advantage as ways to begin bonding with their babies while in the womb.
Can the practice of mindfulness help you build financial security for your family? Yes, because how you do one thing is how you do everything. Your patterns become your habits and your habits become the way you lead your life. Being mindful will help you discover your self-limiting beliefs about money, be self-aware enough to shift and change these beliefs to more powerful ones and create realistic, actionable financial goals that will allow you to preserve your peace of mind.
Having another baby is an exciting time for your family. It’s a big change, especially for older siblings, even more so if the older sibling was an only child. Older children, toddlers especially, may become jealous of the attention the new baby will receive. In order to avoid breakdowns and tantrums, parents can use these tips and tricks, but in a nutshell, it comes down to a little extra bonding.
This June marks the second month of Mommy Mundo’s #MindYourMind campaign. We put focus on an important need of the ever-so-busy mommy mind– that during hectic days we seize moments to take a pause, take a deep breath and relax, and #BePresent for whatever is going on.
Research has shown that children who spent a lot of quality time with their parents were less likely to have behavioural issues, try risky or dangerous behaviour, and were more mentally and emotionally stable than counterparts that did not get the same type of time or were often alone. (Jones, 2017).
The child’s benefits of quality time within a family are quite well known, but did you know that parents benefit from this time too?
Do you sometimes think that your child is lazy and not trying hard enough to learn things? Does your pre-schooler still have difficulty in recognising sounds or the alphabet? Do you constantly receive feedback from teachers on their sloppy work, bad attitude and low self-confidence?
