12. Not wish others harm
It is much later that your Misha will be offended by his former friend Vasya for not letting him play with a new machine, and wish that she suddenly breaks or gets lost. In the meantime, the baby does not know what envy or resentment is.
13. Be sensitive
It is necessary to touch the cheek of a newborn baby with his hand, and he immediately turns his head, reacting to touch. We, adults, should learn from them responsiveness, willingness to respond to someone else's attention.
14. Listen carefully
Without even understanding the words, the newborn baby listens to intonations, the tone of voice. He tries to look into the face of the talking person or turns his head to the source of the sound. Adults lose their listening skills - they sort out arguments during a dispute and plan further things during a conversation. Then we do not remember what we heard or lose mutual understanding with loved ones.
15. Be curious
A newborn looks at the world and people in a test, he is always ready to learn something new, then to use the acquired knowledge.
After graduating from school-institutes, we forget that life is too diverse to manage to learn everything about it in 10-15 years.
16. Fall asleep with a smile on your lips
Newborn babies almost always fall asleep with a smile. We should learn from them thanks for the past day and a positive attitude.
17. Be easier
Well, if the baby has a full intestine, then soon the diaper will have to be changed. Of course, we do not urge you to use diapers but only affirm: children do not yet know how to create difficulties for themselves. The simpler and more obvious the solution to the problem, the higher the likelihood that the baby will solve it that way.
18. Start from scratch
Every day gives new opportunities. It doesn’t matter if yesterday the baby has not yet learned to pull himself up, holding onto the fingers of an adult: there will be a whole day ahead to try again. And not only - there is a day ahead for new discoveries (“oh, whose fingers are these?”) And pleasant acquaintances (“what a soft teddy bear!”).
19. Be bolder
Newborn children perceive life with positive, hope and determination - simply because they do not know how to do it differently. They have not yet suffered from grievances and have not faced defeats. Thanks to the innate courage that we lose over time, they develop at an incredible speed.
20. Not a day without a smile
Charlie Chaplin argued that a day without laughter is a day spent in vain. As soon as newborn children learn the art of smiling, they do it often and willingly, sometimes even for no apparent reason.
21. Be active
Young children are very mobile. Of course, you can’t say anything about newborns, but as soon as they master their body, they are constantly in motion - they wave their arms and legs, work with facial expressions. So they remind us adults that movement is life, and it is important to constantly feel your body, interact with it, hear it.
22. Get enough sleep
What does a newborn do most of the day? Asleep. He intuitively knows that sleep is necessary for his health and development. Be careful about your other physiological needs.
23. Be observant
We habitually learn from textbooks, follow the instructions. The skill of observation is lost over time - because we no longer need to learn a huge number of things in the shortest possible time.
Children learn by observation and repetition. I saw something that “works,” he repeated. I noticed a smile on my mother’s lips, I felt loved, - repeated, and mother is happy.
24. Trust Intuition
A newborn intuitively knows how much he needs to eat, and how much sleep to have enough strength for new discoveries. Many scientists and psychologists claim that we are born into the world, already owning knowledge of everything that we need for survival and a happy life. It is important to resort to this knowledge from time to time.
25. Use body language
Newborn children can say so much without any words! They tell us that they are hungry, tired or just want to be cuddled. They cry, whimper and make faces in different ways and manners, and this language is universal for all the kids on the planet.
