Know Your Child

It is essential for all of us (especially those mummy's out there) to know your child's personality, existing capabilities, and current mood in order for us to determine our child willingness and ability to learn at any given time.



Pn Halimahton Yusof in her e-book "Genius in 28 Steps" has specifically discussed several ways that could be practice by parents on how to understand your younger and older children's.

Those who have babies or toddlers, need to be more observant of our child's reactions whenever we perform a different actions. Babies use crying as their way of communication. We the parents need to learnt to distinguish each type of cries e.g. he might be hungry, angry, or in pain. Through this process we will eventually able to understand why the baby crying and this will let us to respond appropriately to them. Other than crying, an older babies will coo and babbles as a precursor to speech.

From noting what our baby likes to gaze it, we will be able to deduce the kinds of things he is interested. While from babies overall facial expression we could determine whether he is happy, sad, bored, tired, etc.

Mother of Sufiah Yusof also stated that one final point to note is that all children change and evolve over time, so our overall understanding of our child's personality and the way we interact with him must grow in parallel with his own development.
