Since my baby was in the uterus, my spouse and I has been reading her books, and saying the abc's to her. So once she came out she already was familiar with them.
Since she was born I have been singing her songs in english and spanish by one she was saying her numbers 1-10 and abcs in english and spanish and when she turned 7 months I began signing with her. All of this helped us communicate and had her speaking early.
Point is that it is never too early to teach your child anything you want them to know. They are very eager to learn as a baby after all they are new to the world.
I am my daughters first teacher, and I want her to be smart and master it all.
She loves to listen to stories and she has been recognizing words since she was about 20 months old.
Super smart if you ask me.

To spank or not to spank?
Have you ever been in a store and your child decided he/she wants to throw a tantrum?
Have you been in a doctors office and you tell your child to sit down and he/she says "no!"
These are "red face" moments for the parents. I have been there and done that. My daughter just turned 2 and she just started this tantrum stuff.
She knows asl (american sign language) so that definitely cut down her tantrums but somehow they snuck in and she gives me a really hard time sometimes.
Now when I was growing up I didn't get much spankings but as I got older like 10-11 I began getting something worse.
I was abused.
and once I became an adult I ask the person why was this done and she (the person who abused me) told me because she was angry from when she was abused by her dad, and exhusband.
Any kind of abuse is wrong but I didn't want to be like her.
So now i refuse to hit my child because I do not believe that is the answer. I do not want to be hitting her until it becomes abuse or even until i begin to have flash backs of me going through that.
No spanking!
I love my daughter too much to spank her in any way she's still learning and I think parents should have self-control.
Plus, us as parents teach our kids at an early age that hitting is unexceptable.
So why would it be alright for me to hit her because she hits or does anything wrong.
exactly!
Everyone has their reasons on why they think that spanking is or is not ok.
goodluck parents, because...
