The “right to daydream” promotes the good development of the child.
In other words, boredom, the contemplation of nature, books, and everything that allows you to let yourself be invaded by the poetry of this world … participate in the development of our children. (As a reminder, the experts insist on “zero screen before 3 years”).
Baby crying is universal, and can be grouped into nine distinct sounds
This info is the result of the work of an Australian mother, Priscilla Dunstan, published in a book, (ed. JC Lattès). It would therefore be sufficient to know these nine sounds to respond appropriately her baby’s needs (and stop crying every time!).
Parents lose an average of 700 hours of sleep the first year with baby.
Experts specify: by breastfeeding, it is less since parents are stuck on the baby’s rhythm… You have been warned!
85% of children are affected by mistreatment in France.
These are figures put forward by Maud Alejandro, member of Oveo and StopVEO, Enfance sans violence. Being with the intention of avoiding it is already a big step towards a decrease in hurtful words and actions daily.
The pacifier is definitely not recommended
After having been criticized and then encouraged on several occasions, the experts strongly advise against it. It would promote ear infections, prevent babies from learning to express their emotions and even have a negative influence on IQ!
Doing homework while standing would increase academic results by 18%.
Very useful info for parents of school-aged children who naturally force their children to remain seated to revise their lessons. We tidy up the chairs !
To make a child apologize is to disempower him or her.
“Say sorry” is the sentence to be deleted definitively of his vocabulary… The ideal being that the child understands his bad behavior himself and apologizes on his own.
In the Netherlands, babies arrive at the nursery at all hours of the day and do not have a referent.
And this is only one of the differences pointed out by the sociologist Jacqueline de Bony during her comparative analysis on nursery practices in France and the Netherlands. But you should also know that Dutch parents do not put on overshoes when entering, that children go to nursery until 4 years old, that they all eat together on the same table, without a separate age group, etc.
We must not confuse stress and anger in small children.
The psychotherapist Isabelle Filliozat clearly insists on this difference, and encourages us not to say to her child “calm down” but rather to help him manage his stress by offering him rest, a glass of water, a game, a hug …
Some foods are labeled “may promote hyperactivity in children”.
