Stressed mom, stress baby. Eat right, stay fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Newborns remember sounds they were exposed to when they were still in the womb.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Baby will love to eat with mother ate during pregnancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Larger babies are, to a point, smarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mothers can boost baby brain development by proper gain weight, balanced diet, modern exercise and stress reduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Happy marriage, happy baby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I&#8217;m spiteful of my husband because he gets to sleep through the night. My daughter is nine months old and she still wakes up three times a night. My husband sleeps right through and then wakes up so exhausted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Children have never been good at listening their parents, but they have never failed to imitate them.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mothers milk is the silver bullet. Breast-feeding makes baby smarter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Speak to your children as much as you can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Do not tell them they are smart! Praise the effort, not IQ!!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Make the child understand that the mistakes occur because the lack of effort, and not from the lack of ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The amount of TV a child should watch before the age of two is zero. But, after the age of\u00a0five it is good, but only those shows that teach them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">No T&#8217;s in kids rooms! Research shows these kids scored way worse than those kids that don&#8217;t have TV in their rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Brain loves exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">Intellectual pressure (expecting too much too early stage) can actually hurt your child intellectual development.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My notes from the book Brain rules for baby by John Medina: Babies develop an active mental life in womb.
