  Bebeğinize besin değerlerini ve tazeliğini düşünerek hazırladığınız mamalarda hep aynı malzemeleri kullanmaktan kaçınıyor ve değişiklik arıyorsanız, bugün size vereceğimiz bebek maması tarifi ile aradığınızı buldunuz demektir!

  9-12 ay bebeklere yedirebileceğiniz yüksek besin değeri ile içinizin rahat olmasını sağlayacak bu mama tarifinin yıldız malzemesi, son dönemlerin sağlıklı yaşam menülerinde sıklıkla görmeye alışkın olduğumuz kinoa. Kinoa, hafif lezzeti, kolay sindirilebilme özelliği ve yüksek besin değeri ile bebek maması malzemesi olarak da kullanılıyor ve bebeğiniz için sağlıklı bir alternatif haline geliyor.

  Kinoa nedir?

  Kinoa, bir tahıl türü olarak tanımlanabilir. Pirinç ve buğdaya alternatif olarak görülen kinoa bitkisi, Peru ve And Dağları kökenlidir ve bugün marketlerin tahıl reyonlarında da kolaylıkla bulunabiliyor.

  Birleşmiş Milletler, yetişmesi için bol su gereken pirinç ve buğdaya alternatif olarak, dünyada olası bir susuzluk durumunda yetiştirilmek üzere kinoayı alternatif olarak kabul ederek, 2013 yılını kinoa yılı ilan etmişti. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Avrupa’da sıklıkla tüketilen kinoanın ülkemizdeki bilinirliği de günden güne artıyor.

  Kinoa, özellikle içerdiği yüksek protein ve amino asit ile dikkat çeken bir tahıl türü. Kinoanın içeriğinde bulunan maddeler, kolay sindirilebilme özelliği, kas ve beyin gelişimine olumlu etkileri, hücre hasarının azalması ve onarımının artması gibi özellikleri ile sağlıklı beslenmeye dikkat edenler tarafından tercih ediliyor. Kinoa, magnezyum, demir, antioksidanlar bakımından da oldukça zengin.

  Kinoayı pirinç ve bulgur gibi pişirebilir ve onları kullandığınız her yemekte alternatif olarak kullanabilirsiniz. Dikkat etmeniz gereken nokta şu; kinoayı pişirmeden önce bir süzgece alarak soğuk suyun altında iyice yıkamanız ve kabuklarından arındırmaya dikkat etmeniz gerekiyor. Aksi takdirde kabuklarda bulunan saponin maddesi piştikten sonra acı bir tat bırakabilir.

  TIPS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL REALIZATION IN CHILDREN

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  According to experts, who state that children's development process should be followed closely, parents need to pay attention to many points. Details of developmental delay can be seen in many titles. Deficiencies can be observed in language development, motor development, social development, and cognitive development. For example, your child may have trouble forming sentences of 2-3 words suitable for his age. They may be lagging behind in language development compared to their peers. In his physical development, he may be behind in motor skills such as running, walking, holding, and jumping.

  According to experts, the most important and more common problem is the delay in social communication. Your child may not be able to communicate with people their own age, shouting, crying, and attacking to express their wishes. By bringing your child in this situation together with their peers, you teach them how to communicate. However, if the developmental delay is in the mental field, you should pay attention to getting support from individual development programs.

  What are the clues of developmental delay? What should you do?

  If you are unsure of certain skills and think that your child is lagging behind, you should seek help from a child development specialist. The child development specialist who will administer the Denver II Developmental Screening Test will determine in which areas and how much retardation your child has. With a work program suitable for this, the studies continue until the developmental delay is eliminated.

  The most important thing you should not do when you find out that your child has a developmental delay is not to believe that this situation will improve over time and not take action. Moreover, day by day, the development gap between your child and his/her peers will gradually widen and it will become more difficult to resolve. As with any problem, it should not be overlooked that early diagnosis is very important. Developmental delay is a problem that can be solved by child development specialists.

   

  In fact, every parent should take care to have their child, who has a normal developmental process, go through the control of a child development specialist every 6 months, even if he does not see any signs of developmental delay. Developmental delay, which you missed but can be detected by the specialist, is diagnosed early and intervened without major problems.

  MOTHER & BABY ATTACHMENT

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  Mothers and fathers know that from the first moment they have a child, they must meet all their basic needs until they become adults. A baby needs nourishment, security, and love unconditionally. The healthy development of the baby is achieved by meeting his physical and emotional needs.

  The healthy physical development of the baby, on the other hand, gives significant support to the formation of a secure attachment, especially with the mother. This special bond supports the social, emotional, and mental development of the baby in the future and directly affects the relationships, self-perception, and personality that he will establish when he becomes an adult.

  Attachment is an emotional bond that develops between mother and baby and emerges more in situations such as stress and separation. There is an attachment between every parent and baby, but the type of attachment can vary depending on the mother-infant attachment and whether and how the baby's needs are met. The most important point of attachment is to understand the needs of the baby by the caregiver and to meet them appropriately and in a timely manner.

  If we take a closer look at the secure mother-infant bonding, which we have heard frequently recently, it is very important to maintain a healthy bond between the mother and the baby right after the birth.

  Attachment in babies is revealed through some emotions and behaviors. The baby's positive reactions to his mother, wanting to spend most of his time with his mother, wanting his mother immediately in the face of any fearful situation or object, perceiving his mother's presence, and relaxing next to her are the most obvious indicators of the baby's attachment to the mother.

  Especially in the prenatal period, the mother's reaction to this change is very important. The fact that the mother-to-be adopts the changes in her body and transfers her positive emotions to her baby, which is a part of her body, is decisive for the secure attachment that will be formed between mother and baby after birth.

   

  You can often tell your baby that you love him when he is in your womb, and you can lay the foundation for a secure attachment to be formed in the future, and form the first steps to prepare him for life. During pregnancy, by touching your belly, you can make your baby feel sensual, while you can give him the feeling that he will be safe with you.

  MY CHILD IS BEHAVIORING AGGRESSIVELY

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  When children are together, it is considered normal for them to jostle, tug at each other and even hit each other. It's usually nothing to worry about. Injuries are minor, they quickly forget their disagreements.

  However, some preschool children may experience frequent and escalating conflicts. Such children seem to be able to solve almost every predicament they fall into with aggression, and they can even get into fights with children much older and larger than themselves. Once they start walking, children's developing nervous systems may not allow them to control their impulses as much as their peers. For some children, aggression is handled more as a problem of learning and practicing social skills.

  Seeing that aggression is often rewarded, the child begins to feel entitled, thinking that it will work in all areas of his life. For example, in kindergarten, he gets in front of the queue for the swing in the playground and starts to use that swing most himself. The teacher will immediately notice a child who behaves like this. From a child's point of view, the difference between self-confidence and aggression may not be very clear.

  How should I help my child?

  The best way to correct an aggressive child is to prevent this behavior in the first place. When observing aggressive behavior in your child, you will see a clear pattern in most of their behaviors. You notice that they are aggressive, either at home or just in public. If your child is tired or feels frustrated, he may be acting aggressively. This clear pattern helps you intervene and better prepare for it. Aggressive children at this age display consistent behaviors before showing aggression. They can grit their teeth, stare, rock back and forth.

   

  What you need to do when you feel the increasing behavior is to remove your child from that environment. Your predictability helps him feel calm and in control. Losing control for a moment and beating your aggressive child will never work. On the contrary, it makes the existing problem worse, because you are doing a behavior that you do not want him to do. In some cases, it should not be forgotten that aggression is a symptom of depression that can sometimes be seen in young children. If your child seems overly aggressive and doesn't respond to your efforts, it's a good idea to consult your doctor. The sooner you act, the easier the solution will be for both you and your child.

  HOW TO EXPLAIN THE FACT OF THE EARTHQUAKE TO MY CHILD?

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  An earthquake is a traumatic event for people. But for children under the age of 10, the situation is a little different, because they cannot make sense of the event, cannot shape it, and thus the risk of experiencing a severe trauma is high. For children at this age who cannot think abstractly, it is difficult to understand how an earthquake occurred. While this event, which they cannot process in their minds, is frightening, there is also an element of anxiety. Intense anxiety, insecurity, and fear occur in children who experience anxiety. In addition to many mental problems such as waking up in fear, being afraid of being alone, being withdrawn, physical problems such as unexplained abdominal pain, irregular sleep, and nausea may also be seen in their dreams.

  It is very important to bring this uncertainty formed in the minds of children to a certain state so that they can understand natural disasters such as earthquakes. Explaining the child in accordance with his age and development will make it easier for him to understand this natural phenomenon and will enable him to cope with fears and anxieties. The most important task in this regard falls to you, the parents.

  So, how should you talk about the earthquake reality with your child and what should you pay attention to?

  When talking to your child about the earthquake, your mood and your approach to your child are very important. If you are experiencing anxiety, you should not make your child feel it. Especially if you are calm during an earthquake, it will be very effective in not experiencing trauma. Because children are immediately affected by the reactions of the people around them at the moment of an event. In addition to the speeches containing anxiety, panic, excitement, and fear that he will witness at the time of the incident, TV news and disaster discourses affect the psychology of the child negatively.

  Pay attention to his emotional state and try to explain natural events to your child in a simple way that he can understand. In fact, if you use a toy for your child and turn it into a game, it will make it easier for him to understand.

  Tell your child what to do during and after the earthquake. Keep it on the agenda until you are sure you know where to hide during an earthquake, where it can be safe, how to protect it, and what to do after an earthquake.

  By preparing an earthquake kit with your child, reduce the uncertainty in his mind so that he can develop a sense of trust.

  Do not express your feelings and thoughts about the earthquake in a grave way in front of the child, but remember that moderate emotional sharing is one of the most beneficial ways to reduce the anxiety of the child and family.

   

  Develop your child's perception in this direction by explaining that natural events do not harm people and that people are harmed because they do not act in accordance with nature.

  GROW YOUR CHILD WITH THE CORRECT EATING HABITS

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  It is the right time for your baby to develop some habits during his transition into childhood. Because the habits gained in this process are among the findings that have been proven to continue for years, this opportunity should be directed to the positive channel. Healthy eating habits are one of them. As a parent, you should never forget that you are a role model for your child, and you should be a guide in determining food preferences and eating habits.

  You can ensure that your child gains the right eating habit by paying attention to some of your behaviors. For example, take care to eat together as a family. Bringing the whole family together for dinner has an important role in gaining the right eating habits.

  Try to consume large and healthy foods in family meals. A wide variety of healthy foods will provide a balanced diet. In particular, the fact that the menu consisting of vegetables is eagerly eaten by other members of the family will prevent him from rejecting them. Let him decide for himself which of the healthy foods come to the table to choose. It will help him gain the right and healthy eating habits, as it will give him a pleasure to eat the food of his choice by accepting it.

  In families where eating becomes a pleasure for children and families, it is easier for children to acquire the habit of eating right. At the end of the first year of life, when your baby steps into early childhood, encourage him to sit in his chair and learn to eat on his own. He can eat the food he can hold with his fingers, at least he tries to eat by imitating you. You can help him learn to eat with appropriate spoons and forks. Food can go anywhere except the mouth, but you should be patient in this process and let your clothes and surroundings get dirty. Let your child play with his food for a while. Encourage her by cultivating your patience, and even assist her in her every move by praising her.

   

  It should not be forgotten that whatever model you set an example for him, he will gain the same habits by imitating you. In order not to complain in the future, you, as a parent, should eat the right foods with the right eating preferences.Formun Üstü

  MY CHILD IS REJECTING TOILET TRAINING WHAT CAN I DO?

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  One of the most difficult details for parents when raising their babies is toilet training. If their baby refuses to go to the toilet, this is a harbinger of an even more difficult phase. Unfortunately, when this problem is not overcome, it is very difficult for the child to acquire toilet habits. But you don't have to feel like you're in a dead-end. If he continues to squeeze himself into his diaper even though he needs to go to the toilet, here are the simple applications we recommend you to do...

  As with everything else, forcing your baby to go to the toilet persistently is a big mistake. Methods such as punishment or threat are also not effective in finding solutions. By trying to understand him, you can overcome the problem by observing why he resists going to the toilet and what causes it. Many things in the toilet can cause this. For example, he may be embarrassed or he may not feel comfortable due to the light of the toilet or the structure of the toilet bowl, which may prevent him from entering there.

  What needs to be done is to make the toilet the style he likes and make it appealing. Get your child's attention by saying that you need to go to the bathroom often and that it's normal. Tell tales about how useful and necessary it is to go to the toilet and use the sentences about the frequent use of the heroes in these tales. Never compare with another child, as the process by which each child is ready for toilet training is different physically and spiritually. On the contrary, reward him with praise and encourage him with little surprises.

  Make her feel in control when she goes to the bathroom. All you have to do is give her a choice. Feeling that you are in control with sentences such as do what you need to the toilet or do it to the potty will help him gain this habit.

  You should ignore accidents in this training process. At such times, you should show an understanding and supportive approach. Now that you're older, instead of saying why you're wetting the bed, you should encourage him by saying it's okay, next time you go to the toilet and do it.

   

  One of the things you should do is to create a routine in your toilet training. Make sure that your child goes to the toilet at the same time, while wearing clothes that can be easily removed.

Cover the entire bathroom area with non-slip material. (There are many materials in DIY stores for this.) Take care to position the sockets in the bathroom in such a way that they do not pose a danger. Use capped sockets designed for wet areas and be careful not to run the cables of electrical appliances you will use in the bathroom over the sink during use.

  Install removable hinges on the bathroom and toilet doors, you will ensure that the door is opened from the outside against your child locking the bathroom door from the inside.

  IF YOUR TODDLER STARTED TO WALK...

  Mayıs 06, 2025

  If your baby, who first learned to crawl and then learn to stand, has started to walk, it means he is ready to meet educational and instructive games. He will love to have fun with his energy that does not fit into his container, and thus he will have the opportunity to throw away his accumulated energy. We said fun games, but you should definitely consider that you can shape your future with the educational games you choose for him during this period.

  You can look at your little toddler with the eyes of a little explorer. One of his biggest impulses, curiosity, will push and pull things, and he will start to shuffle through the drawers. It is very important to create a safe space in order to support him to satisfy this curiosity and to enable him to explore. Coping with the decorative changes you need to make in your home can bore you as a parent, but you have to endure it for your baby for a while.

  In this process, do not leave him alone while playing, and by being involved in his games, both keep control and make him enjoy by spending quality time.

  So what kind of games should you play with it? Here are some valuable playtime ideas for you…

  Preparing a variety of activities for toddlers is easy and inexpensive, requiring only a few supplies.

  Activities aimed at developing fine motor skills

  A cake mold and different colored pompoms are enough for the game. Have your child line up the pompoms side by side in the cake molds. Grasping the soft pompoms will not only entertain him but also improve his fine motor skills and enable him to learn the names of colors.

  Include the five senses in your activity

  Boil 1/4 of a packet of spaghetti and divide into several bowls. Make pasta in various colors by dripping 1-2 drops of food coloring in different colors. Now let him dip his hands in the spaghetti. The slipperiness of colored pasta and the sounds they make when they are squeezed will entertain him, as well as engage all his senses, such as touch and sight.

  Support to develop creativity

  For toddlers, activities with finger paint are perfect.

  Squeeze some finger paint onto a plastic plate and help your child use their fingers or hands to draw shapes on paper together. In this way, you will provide an environment for him to develop his creativity.

   

  In short, no matter what activity you choose for your child, make sure to be there for his/her safety. After all, it is you, the parents, who will guide your baby and should strive to raise him in the best way possible.
