MAGIC TOUCH FOR YOUR BABY; MASSAGE!

May 12, 2025

Touching and communicating with the baby has a magical power. Touch creates a bond between you and your baby beyond imagination. Massage is the simplest but most effective way to convey your love to her. It means prolonged contact, massaging. The benefits of making this a routine will translate into a long-lasting and wide-ranging outcome.

Of course, baby massage also has technical parts. Let's see what the technical parts of these magic touches are together.

We do baby massage!

For this, you must first prepare your environment. A warm room and a room with dim lights will suffice. If we say a hot room, 22-23 degrees is an ideal setting. You should proceed by undressing your baby. Accompanied by classical music or a soft melody like it will add convenience to your work.

It is very important that the floor on which you will lay your baby is a clean, flat and safe surface. Lay a blanket or towel that will not irritate her soft skin on the floor and lay your baby on her back. Do not forget to open the diaper. You should take the risk of peeing :)

Since you will be massaged with lotions or baby massage oils produced for babies, you should be careful to choose the one that is suitable for the skin of the pH of these products. You can control the temperature of the oil and if it is cold, you can warm it in your hand and apply it to her sensitive skin.

You can start the massage with light touches. Remember that her skin is very gentle. Light and delicate touches stimulate her skin. You can massage your baby on the hands, chest, abdomen, legs and feet, back, shoulders, hips and face. (Of course, don't forget to relax yourself by doing relaxing breathing exercises before the massage. Since babies will take all your energy with touch, it is very important that the energy of the massager is high and positive.)

In baby massage, you should move very softly and not be disturbing. If your baby cries during the massage and you feel uncomfortable, you should stop.

If your baby is very hungry, try not to massage. It would be good to wait an average of 40-45 minutes after your meal. Otherwise, massage on a full stomach may make your baby nauseous and vomit.

Baby massage is an amazing formula that can calm the baby and help him sleep. After an average of half an hour, you will witness that you are relaxed and falling asleep.

PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC BABY & KIDS WEAR

May 12, 2025

Organic products do not pollute the soil, air, water, and our nutrients, and protect people and ecosystems. A world that has not been polluted with chemical fertilizers and pesticides even after centuries, soil and water, and a genetically unmodified seed that can be grown when planted is a trust that we will leave to our future generations.

17 teaspoons of synthetic fertilizers, 3/4 teaspoons of active compounds (poison and medicine for insects and weeds) are used in the production of conventional cotton fiber required for one T-shirt.

The excess part of the toxic substances used in conventional production mixes with plant leaves, soil, water, and every form of natural life.

The result is harmful to natural resources and life.

Get peace of mind when your baby sweats or sucks with his organic combed cotton. Because it is so safe that it cannot be compared with other conventional clothes.

Organickid offers both economical and healthy, organic, ecological, sustainable, and fun clothes for your baby.

PROTECT YOUR CHILD FROM THE STRESS OF THE EPIDEMIC

May 12, 2025

The social isolation and the rules to be followed in the Coronavirus epidemic, unfortunately, cause an increase in the feelings of fear, anxiety, and helplessness in children who witness the natural flow of daily life change significantly.

Child development experts warn parents against the stress that may occur in the child in the new type of coronavirus (Kovid-19) epidemic. According to experts, who stated that children should continue their daily routines during the epidemic process, where healthy communication is the key point, they point out that the child should be encouraged to express their concerns and fears.

According to experts stated that there are measures to be taken so that children who are affected by the epidemic period, as well as adults or even more, can get out of this process without wearing out, here are the things to do:

Ask your child what he thinks about the Coronavirus

Take your child in front of you and find out what he or she knows about the Coronavirus as if you were chatting in a soft tone of voice. Identify what is right and what is wrong, and make the necessary corrections. Take control of the information you provide, taking into account his age and development.

Keep in touch

By talking to your child often, create a suitable environment for him to express how he feels on his front. Encourage him to talk about his concerns and fears by directing the conversation according to his level. It's important to remember that while some children share their feelings more easily, others need encouragement. Your conversation about how he feels will be more positive if you find out what he knows about this outbreak.

TIPS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL REALIZATION IN CHILDREN

May 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

May 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

May 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?

May 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

May 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
