Rena in Her New Child Seat

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,

Last saturday, we went to Costco in Funabashi with frens for shopping. Well, attempting activity as usual… As planned, we bought for rena a new child seat. Ehemm… of course to fit in our new MPV (Alhamdulillah… we afford to buy our dream).

Rena’s just nice to be seated in her new pinky-disney seat. But for awhile, surprisingly… she’s so nervous!! ha ha.. so cute. She grips her hands at the side-guard of the seat and sit back tightly. Very good gal indeed. But sometimes she start talking and mumbling when abah stopped by at the traffic light. Anyway, its a compulsory to have child car seat for your children in Japan.

Use Child Car Seat for Your Children
To protect your child from the risk of car accident.

When children under six years old ride in automobiles, the law requires parents to restrain them in child car seats. However, the rate of child seat usage remains at a mere 47% (according to a joint study conducted by the National Police Agency and the Japan Automobile Federation between April and May of 2004), and shows a tendency to fall with an increase in age. It is the duty of adults to protect children, as they cannot protect themselves.

Twice

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,

Lately, Tokyo weather is not sooo calm. Cloudy and raining for a week. Realized that rena had a cough again lastnite.. Mama just afraid if she might troubled with pnuemonia or bronchitis, as previous. Rena has been admitted twice within this two years. 

Found an article said that if your baby frequently coughing only at nite, she/he is probably having an asthma.

1. How to beat asthma
   Asthma partially obstructs the bronchial tubes, making breathing difficult. The cause of asthma is still not known. But if you are an asthma sufferer, you can, through natural means, considerably reduce the number of asthma attacks you get.

2. A placebo study has shown that asthmatics who consume 1 gram of vitamin C per day had 4 times fewer attacks. When they stopped taking vitamin C, the attacks resumed with the same frequency as before (Trop. and Geog. Med., Vol. 32, Mo. 2, 1980).

3. As for magnesium, it also works wonders! Dr. Zack H. Haddad of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southern California conducted a study on thirty children suffering from asthma associated with allergies.

4. Twenty of them drank a daily amount of mineral water rich in magnesium, while the others received no magnesium supplement. After three months, the first group had a higher level of magnesium in their blood, and they were able to breathe more easily.

So taking vitamin C and magnesium is an excellent way to prevent asthma attacks.

But what can you do to breathe more easily during an attack?
Simply drink 2 or 3 cups of strong coffee. By activating blood circulation, it eases espiratory blockage.

In addition, the American Lung Association recommends the following exercise:

l. While standing, contract all your muscles. Keep them contracted for a few seconds.
2. Release the muscles, like letting the air out of a balloon. Relax all your muscles completely until you feel like a limp cloth.
3. Let yourself fall to the floor, and stretch out. Close your eyes and relax your face and your feet.
4. Imagine that you are floating on water. Concentrate on the effect the earth’s gravity has on your muscles and on the pleasant feeling of being completely relaxed.
5. Breathe gently and quietly, as if you were about to fall asleep.
6. Open your eyes. Practising this exercise when you feel an attack coming on, or once it is already started, will help you overcome your asthma condition.

Your Baby Is A Genius ?

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,

YESS!! All babies are geniuses! And of course, your baby’s potential depends on YOU! As parent, you have a right to form your child as what you wished to be.

Your baby’s right brain photographic memory can quickly, easily and automatically learn anything that you can present to them with its own unique right brain method. Teach your baby to read and other subjects with hundreds and thousands of pieces of information as “Bits of Intelligence”. These are taught in sets of 10 flashcards shown at high-speed in 15 seconds, 2-3 times daily for 2-5 days. The child will focus intently on the material; when their attention wanes they know the subject and it is time to present new material in brief, zippy, highly organized and enthusiastic sessions.
When to Teach Your Baby to Read

The process of learning to speak is much more complex than learning to read. Speech and language development occur naturally. All babies learn to understand language before they are able to control speech. Once the printed words have been learned, the process of reading involves word recognition, which is an easier process than recalling a sound and attempting to say it. The best time to teach reading is from birth through the pre-verbal, infant and toddler stage when the right-brain photographic memory is the most active.

Supplement Needed ?

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,

Wondering.. how many of you taking a daily supplement as an extra ‘power’ for your health? Be honest, I hate to have a pill. Dunno why…. but I do remember. My mom have to squeeze the panadol for me and put in spoon mixed with any juice. And that bad habit still in me Hopefully, it won’t be inheritated by rena.

My lil rena was born on Aug, 2005. This month, she’s  1 year and 11th. Another a month, she’ll be 2 !!!! How fast the time goes by….  Unfortunately, by now…  as rena supposed to be running around, hide&seek with another kids of her own age… and, supposed to tell mama and abah how she’s enjoyed her daily nursery life… to tell about a game played on the day, to tell her most like dishes on the day…..

Yet dream comes true.

Last 2 months, came accrosed on a website…  and found about D-Brain. Never heard it before and very excited to try it for rena. (well, just refered to the testimony provided from users) Alhamdulillah… thanks GOD, too much improvement she made!! very surprised. Plus…. rena is attending a rehabilitation class. We are hoping for a miracle. Insyaallah…..

 

Tips On Using Medicine

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,

This tips might useful for new-mommy and daddy. Please be aware when you are handling a medicine or pills for your kids. 

• Don’t give aspirin to children, it may not be appropriate for them. You may use paracetamol unless otherwise advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

• Write down the names of all medications your child uses in your Child Health Record, especially if you see more than one doctor.

• Make a note if your child reacts badly to a medicine.

• Never give your child medicine prescribed for someone else.

• Always check the use by date of medicines kept at home. Appropriately dispose of those which are out of date.

• Keep all medicines locked away, out of sight and out of reach.

• If your doctor offers you a prescription, but you would rather not give your child medicine, ask if it is really needed, how it will help, and whether there are any alternatives.

• Ask your doctor or chemist about any possible side effects: e.g. drowsiness or irritability.

• Check whether there are any precautions you should take.

• If your child is already taking a medication (even a non-prescription one), check if it’s okay to take both.

• Make sure you understand how much and how often to give the medicine, and follow the directions on the pack carefully.

• When you buy over-the-counter medicines at the chemist (e.g. cough medicine), always say it’s for a child, and tell the chemist the child’s age. Also tell the chemist if the child has any sensitivities or medical conditions and if they are taking any other medicines.

• Always finish a course of medicine.

• If your child is reacting badly to the medicine (e.g. diarrhoea or rash), stop giving it, and tell your doctor.

• If your child is getting worse, despite the medicine, see your doctor immediately.
