Education before the crib

Some great ideas out there to help your child even before they need a crib.



You hear this all the time, but are you actually doing it? It really does work. The more you teach your baby the more you program them to lean loads of stuff all at the same time. My son is not one and a half yet and already is saying 3 and 4 sylable words, using sign language, has almost perfect rhythm with music and dancing. We are really seeing that we have him already programmed to learn quickly.
Watch more from GiftEd and I'll add more as I find it. We are not just about finding the best crib anymore, we want to help you on the entire path of your child.

After crib education

So, you've heard everything I say about cribs, but what now. I found a great blog on a revolutionary way to think about raising your children. Harvard is showing that all kids are born with the potential to be a genius, but schools are cramming our kids into conformity boxes, literally teaching our kids to NOT be all they can be.
Watch this great video on how to get your kids to be honest with you.



I love Melissa's blog and will continue to put up her ideas on how not to teach our children out of genius. (no reason to reinvent what she is already doing)

..."Like most parents you love your children. But if you are like many parents you may be doing things that hurt your children’s chances for having real happiness and success when they grow up.
And most of what you are doing is so subtle you probably don’t even realize your parenting is harming your children until someone points it out to you. So I’m going to stick my neck out and point out these common parenting errors, as well as provide positive parenting alternatives."...

For the complete article visit Melissa Greczy's blog. I haven't gotten through all of her stuff yet, but she might even have some stuff on things to do in your crib.

How to decrease infant tantrums

What do you suppose is the cause for most infant tantrums? Put yourself in their shoes... How would you feel if you wanted to eat or had a pain in your leg and you tried to tell your mother, only she didn't understand you. You keep repeating, hoping the words will come out correctly, but your tongue just isn't trained enough. Would you get frustrated? And, not knowing how to control your emotions...perhaps you would throw yourself down and start crying.
Research is showing that this really is the cause to most tantrums...lack of communication skills. So, how do we as parents combat this? Teach them something they can learn easier than spoken language. Sign language.
Sign language is great for our children for two reasons. First, it gives them a way to communicate with us sooner than if they simply wait for their tongue to cooperate. And second, they can take it into their lives and use it later, when perhaps they come upon someone who uses it as their only way of communicating. It is a second language.
Research also shows that children who know more than one language have a much greater aptitude for learning and go farther in life because of it. The more you teach a young child the more they want to learn. You actually program their brain to absorb greater quantities of knowledge.
My own son has a very limited spoken vocabulary so far: momma, daddy, more, and baba. But, his signing vocabulary is much greater: more, food, drink, please, hat, motorcycle, helicopter, bath, cracker, cookie, cereal, milk, cheese and signing video. And when we watch signing DVDs he will attempt many more signs. This allows us quite a lot of conversation to address his daily needs. He has started asking to watch his signing and reading videos now too.
This is relevant for your infant up through their toddler years. If you continue to grow their sign language vocabulary past when they begin to speak you should see a lower amount of tantrums throughout the "terrible twos".
