Communication & Play in a Family

What I love about the Internet is the availibility of wonderful articles at your fingertips.

Mum sent me this article from SMH entitled Let Babies Learn in Their Own Good Way.

Being a couch potato society we are all guilty of spending too much time on our iPads, mobile phones, computers and television. It is even easier to prop a crying baby in front of a tv and baby will be mesmerized by the colorful flashes. Gone were the days where families sat around having proper conversations. Most kitchens/dining rooms are now all fitted with a tv. Not to mention every room would have Internet connection where a laptop, pc and tv are all hooked up.

As parents, we have a duty to create communication within the family.

Communication does not only mean bonding but it creates a lifetime of trust, understanding, acceptance, confidence, tolerance and patience. All qualities needed to mould a wholesome individual.

Sparing an hour a day for your child might be all it takes to create a well-balanced and confident person.
