    About this ebook

    They say that raising a child is difficult. If you ask us, you have to be more specific.

     

    First, raising a baby and a child are two completely different things. From the moment your baby is born to when they reach an age they can follow what you are saying, the journey is not that difficult. The road that comes after that is treacherous… filled with temper tantrums and unreasonable requests. Not to mention the imaginary friends and the blanket or stuffed toy they are not ready to let go of.

     

    Babies coming out of their toddler age should experience different emotions as they help them develop their inner tools, which they can use throughout life.  You don't need to be a child psychologist or an expert to raise a kid. All that's required from you and your spouse is flexibility and patience.

     

    When a baby reaches the school-going age, most parents pay attention to their extra curricular activities and grades instead of focusing on their progress. They keep a tight schedule by making sure that the child goes to school, has lunch, and gets ready for the soccer practice or ballet lesson to get there on time.

     

    Where did teaching them good behavior and helping them develop better habits go? Don't you think those are necessary for raising a child so that they turn out to be a good person?

     

    We often forget the importance of character traits such as empathy, generosity, and kindness. The most significant character trait of all is integrity. It shows parents how their child will act when no one is looking.

     

    There's no formula to raising a child. However, the way parents interact with their offspring is what determines how the child will grow up to be.

     

    To help you go through the steps of raising a child, we have made this eBook that will help you how parents can teach their children good behavior.

      How to Raise a Child - Lita Caine

      Introduction

      They say that raising a child is difficult. If you ask us, you have to be more specific. Before bringing a baby into the world, you need to ensure that you are ready for this huge responsibility. 

      In movies, we often see that before having a baby, couples often adopt a pet to see how they can schedule their work and personal life around a furball that’s now their responsibility. When it comes to kids, they are taught the importance of responsibility by giving them a pet project that involves taking care of an egg.

      So, how did you conclude that you and your spouse are ready to bring a living being into this world? If you are about to argue that you have watched videos of cute babies on YouTube and felt this maternal tug, that does not count.

      We are not trying to dissuade you from having a baby. However, there are just some things that need to be put out there. When you start a family, your domestic duties double. The pressure is more on mothers as they have to take a small break to get acclimated to the baby. From feeding the baby to taking care of their basic needs, dozens of sleepless nights await you and your spouse.

      You both might have different parenting styles that cancel out each other out, your sex life takes a hit, and you seldom get alone time. We aren’t saying that you would face the same problems after having a baby. However, if you are counting the pros and cons, it means you are not ready. Yes, it’s as simple as that!

      The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice.

      ― Peggy O'Mara, former editor and publisher of Mothering Magazine

      Raising a baby and a child are two completely different things. From the moment your baby is born to when they reach an age they can follow what you are saying, the journey is not that difficult. The road that comes after that is treacherous... filled with temper tantrums and unreasonable requests. Not to mention the imaginary friends and the blanket or stuffed toy they are not ready to let go of.

      The Delicacies of Raising a Child

      What brings a smile to your baby’s face might surprise you. Did you know that happiness is an emotion that you teach babies rather than give them? Children who are over-indulged, protected from emotional discomfort, and showered with toys are more likely to turn out as joyless, cynical, and bored teenagers.

      Babies coming out of their toddler age should experience different emotions as they help them develop their inner tools, which they can use throughout life.  You don’t need to be a child psychologist or an expert to raise a kid. All that’s required from you and your spouse is flexibility and patience.

      When a baby reaches the school-going age, most parents pay attention to their extracurricular activities and grades instead of focusing on their progress. They keep a tight schedule by making sure that the child goes to school, has lunch, and gets ready for the soccer practice or ballet lesson to get there on time.
