At first, Zeb saw a cow eating grass.

Zeb: ”Dear moo, how you doing?“

The Butterfly Story 

One day a man saw a cocoon split open slightly and a butterfly struggling very slowly to come out. The man watched the cocoon lying on his windowsill for hours at stretch, but no progress was made by the butterfly. 

So, out of goodwill, he decided to cut open the cocoon, so he took a scissors and did so. But, when he opened the cocoon, he saw that the butterfly’s body was swollen and the legs all shriveled up. The man did not realize that in coming out of the cocoon, the fluid in the butterfly’s body is pushed into its wings, which makes it ready to fly. By cutting open the cocoon, the man had disrupted this process. 

Sometimes we need to struggle on our own to be at our very best.

One day as the sun was setting, a wolf was walking towards the forest. As he looked behind himself, he caught a glimpse of his shadow. He was impressed by how long and huge it was.  

“I am much longer and stronger than I thought I was,” he said. “I am even bigger than the lion, and could probably beat him up” said the wolf proudly, and so he decided he would do so. 

So, that night, the wolf went to the lion and growled at him as loudly as he could. The lion quickly got up and ate him up. The poor wolf had been fooled by his own shadow.

The Greedy Lion Goes Hungry

The big, greedy lion was walking around the jungle in search of a meal. Soon he saw a hare sound asleep in the grass. The lion was just about to gobble the hare up when he saw a big red deer hopping by. The lion instantly decided that he should try to catch the deer since it would make a heavier meal.  

The lion began to chase the deer, but he kept running and running, yet he could not catch the deer. The deer ran faster and soon the lion gave up, panting with his tongue hanging out and his stomach grumbling. 

“Maybe I should just eat the hare,” said the lion. “Such a shame that I have to settle for such a small meal” he huffed. But all the commotion and running had woken up the hare, who had run off by the time the lion came looking for him. Now the greedy lion was left hungry. 

One day, a lion and a wild boar approached a small stream, wishing to drink water from it. However, there was only enough space for one animal to drink from. As they both arrived at the stream, they began to argue and fight over who would drink first. 

The lion charged at the boar with his big claws, while the boar bucked him with his tusks. They continued to fight for a spot by the stream when a vulture began to circle above their head. The vulture was waiting for one of them to kill the other so that the vultures can feed on them. 

Soon the lion and the boar realized that they were being watched by the vultures. Both of them stopped fighting. “If we continue to fight, we will become food for the vultures,” said the lion, and the boar agreed. From that point onward they stopped fighting and became best friends. 

There once lived a waterman who took clothes to the river every day to wash. He owned a lazy donkey, that hated doing its work and whenever the donkey was called upon, he pretended to be sick. One day the waterman had to take a big pile of clothes to the river bank to wash.   

But the donkey knew the clothes would be heavy, and so he escaped when the waterman called him and went to a lonely place to take a nap. 

The donkey was sleeping under a mango tree, in a secluded place, when a strong wind began to blow. Due to the wind, a mango fell from the tree and landed on the donkey’s head. Surprised, the donkey woke up and did not know what was going on. As he opened his eyes, dust blew into his eyes, making it hard for him to see. The donkey wished to go back home to hide from the dust storm, but he was afraid the waterman would beat him up.  

As he arrived home, fearfully entering the house and expecting a beating, he was surprised when his master was glad to see him. “Oh, I am glad you are back!” said his master giving him some food. From then onwards, the donkey never ran away again. 

The Mocking Tiger

The tiger was a clever animal. He was always busy in boasting about himself and he would often make fun of the other animals. He would tease the other animals, particularly annoying the poor bumblebee and the big, clumsy elephant. 

One day, all the animals were having a meeting to discuss some important matters of the forest. Suddenly, a landslide occurred and big boulders blocked the entrance of the cave.  All the animals thought that the tiger would be able to save them, but he was not. He could not move the boulders away. 

Thus, the bumblebee snuck out through a tiny space in the rocks and went to look for the elephant who had not come to the meeting. The bee asked him to come to help everyone out. The elephant arrived and removed all the rocks and all the animals came out of the cave. In the end, the tiger came out, his head lowered, and a lesson learned. He knew that he should not be boastful ever again. 

One day, a little monkey was perched on a treetop and was watching the local fishermen layout a fishing net by the river. “Oh, this looks interesting,” said the monkey and decided that he wants to try it out as well.  

When the fishermen went away to grab some lunch, the monkey went down by the river and grabbed the net. But the net was too big for the monkey and instead of tossing it into the river, the monkey got entangled in the net. As he tried to escape, it kept wrapping tighter and tighter around the monkey and he fell into the river. 

Luckily, the fishermen arrived and helped him out of the water. “You should just focus on staying on the trees,” they said, as they set him free. 

A ladybug felt lonely and wanted to make some friends. All she wanted was to have someone to play with. She roamed the forest searching for a friend, when one day, she came across a beautiful butterfly. 

The ladybug was very happy to see the butterfly and thought that they would make great friends. “Do you want to be friends?” asked the ladybug timidly. “Of course, why not!” replied the friendly butterfly. They soon began to play together every day, flying around, from plan to plant. The two best friends lived happily ever after.

One day, all the rabbits in the world met up to discuss some problems. “What a sad life we live,” said one rabbit. “As soon as we come out of our burrow, we are chased by all sorts of animals, dogs, cats, tigers, lions. At the end of the day we become meals for them” he continued. The other rabbits agreed.  

“What is the point of living in fear, when we will just end up becoming food for another animal.” said another rabbit. “We should just drown ourselves” exclaimed one of them, and all the other rabbits at the meeting agreed.  

All of them left the meeting and rushed towards the pond. By the edge of the pond, some frogs were sitting and relaxing. As they saw the rabbits running up to them, they were terrified and jumped into the water. 

When the rabbits saw this, they stopped in their tracks. “There is someone living a more scared life than us, maybe we should not drown ourselves after all. ” said the rabbits, turning back to return home, laughing at their silly idea.

A duck really wanted to buy an apple, and when he visited the grocery store, the sign said “one apple for one buck.” 

The duck thought about it, and the only bucks he knew lived at the farm. So, the next morning the duck went to the farm and got some bucks from the farmer. He then took them to the grocery store. 

The duck picked up nine apples from the aisle and took the nine bucks to the counter, giving them over. 

The woman at the counter began to laugh, “well I guess these could work too.” 

Jack the farmer, had two lovely dogs, Cyndie and Polly. Cyndie was a pet at home, while Polly was the one who would accompany the farmer when they went hunting. She would run around all day, catching and fetching the birds the farmer had shot.  

The farmer’s wife would cook up the birds the farmer brought home, and the remains of the meal would be shared between Cyndie and Polly. But Polly felt that it was unfair that she did all the work and Cyndie still got the same amount of food. 

“It is not my fault I was not taught how to hunt. Besides, I do a lot of work playing with the kids too” replied Cyndie. 

A strong muscular bull was trotting around when suddenly a lion began to chase it, ready to pounce on the bull for a big, juicy meal. The bull ran for its life and as it went on and on, it finally lost the lion behind as it ran into a cave. 

The cave belonged to a family of mountain goats, who were not pleased at all at seeing the intruder. The goats began to hit the bull with their horns, piercing its skin. 

“I did not come into your house for no reason, I was running from the lion” cried the bull. But the poor bull had to suffer all day. 

A poor fisherman made a living out of the fish he caught. One day he was very unlucky and only ended up catching a tiny little fish. 

The little fish began to beg the fisherman to let her go. “Please let me go sir. I am so small, what benefit will I have for you, I will make a much better meal when I am older” she cried. 

But the farmer did not care. He knew that a small meal was still better than no meal at all, and thus he kept the small fish and took her home to eat. 

A small good is better than nothing at all. 

One day a lamb was drinking water from a stream, when a wolf standing nearby wished to eat her up. He came up with an excuse. “Hey lamb, don’t dirty the water I am drinking” said the wolf. 

“But the water is flowing from your side to my side” said the lam innocently. 

Now the wolf came up with another plan. “Remember how you hurled abuses at me an year ago” he said. 

“But I was not born a year ago” replied the lamb. “Then it must have been your dad” said the wolf, growing impatient.  

The lamb apologized on his father’s behalf but the wolf did not give up. “You are arguing with me” complained the wolf and pounced onto the lamb eating him up. 

There once lived a monkey who missed no opportunity to bother the buffalo. He would often jump on its back, throe nuts at it, and often throw trash on the buffalo. But the buffalo dealt with him patiently and never hurt the monkey. 

All the other animals around them saw this and asked the buffalo why it did not teach the monkey a lesson. 

“I am thankful to the monkey for teaching me how to be patient” replied the buffalo. 

The monkey who was nearby, heard this and was very ashamed of his own antics, 

“Dear buffalo, I am sorry, I will never bother you again.” apologized the monkey one day, and the two became great friends.  

One day two goats had to cross the river. The two ends of the river were joined by a weak and shaky bridge, which would move even at the slightest touch. Both the goats were standing at opposite ends of the river, 

Neither of the two goats were ready to cross over to the other side first, but eventually both of them began to walk on it. The bridge was so narrow that only one person could cross at a time, and so, when they reached the middle, they began to fight. 

The goats continued mindlessly fighting and pushing each other, and due to this, the bridge broke and both of them fell in the river. 

One day a thirsty crow was trotting around looking for something to drink. It came across a pitcher of water. As the crow hopped onto its edge, it realized that the pitcher was too deep and that its beak could not reach the bottom. 

The crow was scared that it if it did not think quickly, it would die of thirst. That’s when the crow saw some rocks nearby. The crow picked up the little rocks and began throwing them into the pitcher till the water began to come up. 

The crow continued to do so, till the water had reached the top and the crow easily drank it. 

One day, a clever fox fell into a well. Scared that it might die inside, the fox waited for someone to pass by. 

Soon a goat was passing by and looked into the well, asking the fox why he was inside, 

“I have heard a very terrible drought is going to come. I am inside to protect myself” said the fox cleverly.  

The gullible goat fell for the fox’s word and quickly jumped inside the well too. But the fox used this to his advantage. He jumped on top of the goat and then jumped out of the well, leaving the poor goat inside alone. 

Once there was valley named “not very nice”, where a mean troll lived under a bridge, and forced everyone crossing it into paying a toll. He would ask the people for all sorts of compensation; food, toys, cars, clothes and what not. As soon as he used something he thought of it as used and old. The troll just wanted more and more, but he was still never happy. Even though he had so much stuff, he never shared it anyone and remained sad a lonely. 

One day a boy and his sister were crossing the bridge and the troll asked him why they wanted to go to the other side. “Because everyone is so nice on the other side. We share things and live as one big family and enjoy the little things in life” said the boy. “You can come along too” said the girl. The troll felt so happy that he had been asked to join them. He was ready to see a better world, and quickly gave up his sad life to go live with them. 

Ed the sprinkler head 

Hey I am Ed the sprinkler head. You may not have noticed me, I but have known you since you were a little kid and have seen you grow. You have only paid attention to me in the scorching summer heat when I helped you cool down. But I have seen you return from school every day. I have been a guest at so many of your birthday parties in this garden, and I have seen you get taller and taller every day. I myself, have tried to grow taller too, but have always returned to my real size. I have seen your tears and joy when the mailman comes, and silently I have been a part of so many of your journeys. 

What I am trying to say is that I will miss you when you grow old and move on with your life. I am Ed, and I am the unnoticed sprinkler head. 

Aunty C was always busier than a bee, but she always made time for me. She was always travelling here and there, but her wings were always full of love and care. She would always give the warmest hugs, and her eyes looked warm, big and round, almost like a bug. 

Once you were in her embrace, you cannot escape her juicy kisses and tight squeezes. But that is the best thing about Aunty C, she has some love for you, and still some more for me.  

Once there was a little boy who was always blowing his nose. His boogers would fly around almost everywhere. On his sleeves and in his hair, there was no spot which was rid of his boogey disasters. One day he blew his nose, and tilts his head, and his booger went into his milk. 

It was almost as if there was no control, over the amount of snot in his nose. No matter what he did, it was always there, and all his friends could not help but always stare. 

So he decided that he would wear shirt with long sleeves, so that he can wipe his nose, whenever need be. But his mum became cross, when his sleeves became so stiff, they couldn’t even be washed. 

At last he got a handkerchief, and that is what he now uses, to keep his nose clean. 

Dreams of Good Things 

A wonderful mother to three children asked her kids what their secret little wishes were. She told them that maybe if they discussed their wishes, they could dream about them and work on turning them into reality little by little. 

She advised her kids to dream all they can, but start small, because smaller dreams can be achieved quicker and they can build on them. Taking baby steps every day is the key, and while they dream at night, the day is to make plans to achieve those dreams. 

She told her kids a story about a grouse who dream of building a house. He woke up and began to work on building it with one single straw. He could have kept going and going till it became a castle, but he was happy with his tiny little house, because it was the dream of one small grouse. 

So, she told her children, that they too can achieve, whatever they want, just by working little by little every day and night.  

A little boy named skip loved to go cycling with his brother, but his brother had the flu and he decided that he would cycle across town to go visit him. Skip set out on his bike and as he excitedly cycled, he imagined to be riding a motorbike. The small, normal buildings around him were imagined as big skyscrapers and he was a lone rider, making his way past every obstacle, on a big, wide highway.  

Skip loved it when his parents were around for cycling too, and his mom would referee their races, while their dad cheered them on. Oh the possibilities of imagination and the fun was endless when he was on wheels. 

He reached his aunt’s house, where his brother was being taken care of. Rushing in Skip asked his brother if he wanted to go cycling with him. But his poor brother was all dizzy and groggy from the flu and he said no. 

Now Skip had to cycle back, and as bummed as he was, the roads looked just like roads, and the buildings were back to plain and small and his motorbike had shrunk back to a bicycle. 

Oh, what a Skip was to do without his cycling partner. 

Poor Otis 

Otis the dog was a scrappy little dog who never realized how dirty he was. He hated taking a bath and would always run to roll around in the trash for fun. His hair was all matted and all his friends were equally scrappy and little in number.  

One day his owner gave him a bath, but as soon as the bathroom door opened, out he shot. He ran and he ran, out of the house and as far as he could. He did not know where he was going; all he knew was that he did not want a bath. And so Otis the scrappy little dog was gone. 

Sambo was a cocka-poo puppy, who wagged his tail, which made him look funny. 

He was short and stout, and would lay under the bed all day. 

His fur was matted and his tiny paws were padded. 

We miss him dearly since he left us, 

But we are also glad we had him. 

Little Sambo is not with us anymore, 

And he probably has something better to do, 

In the heavens above, no one will tell him to shoo. 

Once upon a time, a unfortunate merchant owed a huge amount of debt to a local governor. However, because he was unable to pay it back, he kept asking the governor to extend the deadline. But the governor refused this time and put forward a different request. He asked the merchant to marry his daughter to him and he would forgive his rent.  

The merchant and his daughter were horrified at the request. So, the governor said that they should decide the matter by providence. He said that he would put a black and white stone in a bag and if the girl picked the black stone, she would have to marry, the governor and her father’s debts would be forgiven. If she picked the white stone, she would not have to marry and the debts would be forgiven regardless. And if she did not pick a stone, her father would go to jail. 

So, the merchant bent down and picked up to pebbles from the ground, but the girl was quick to notice that he had picked two black pebbles. So, when the girl put her hand in the sack, she picked up a pebble but quickly dropped it to the ground. She told the governor to see which pebble was still in the sack and that would tell her the color of the lost pebble. 

The governor did not want to admit his dishonesty and so it was implied the pebble she lost was white. The girl had turned a bad situation into her favor.

One day a hunter had laid out a massive trap for a tiger in the forest. Soon the tiger, who was passing by fell into the net and the hunter quickly locked him up into a cage. 

The hunter put the cage on a roadside for people to witness the tiger. The tiger had previously killed many village people and innocent animals and children. Now people were being made to enjoy his misery as they saw him locked up. 

The hunter did not feed the tiger for days. Day by day, the tiger grew desperate for food. He began to beg the hunter to give him something to eat. He promised the hunter that if would let him go, he would not harm anyone ever again. 

One day a traveler was crossing the road when he saw the tiger. He felt bad seeing him in such a state, and when the tiger promised he would not harm anyone, he let him out. 

But once the tiger was out, he did not care about his promise. He wanted to kill every human in his way.  

A sly little fox was passing by and when he saw that the tiger was about to kill everyone he made a strategy. He said, “I do not believe such a big tiger could fit in such a tiny cage.” 

The tiger said he would show the fox he was locked up there and went back inside the cage. As soon as he went in, the fox locked the cage and left with the tiger.

Every parent knows about the need to raise a baby “from the cradle”. While the child is lying "across the bench", mom and dad have every opportunity - to instill in the child the necessary skills, love for art, rules of behavior in society. But far from everyone thinks about raising a child in the womb. Although scientists have long proven that prenatal education is an important and necessary stage in the development of the baby.

Does it make sense, and how to raise a baby during pregnancy ?

3rd month of pregnancy: education to the music of Vivaldi

At this stage, the future baby is already acquiring a human appearance, the spinal cord and brain, sensory organs, heart, taste buds and genitals are actively developing. The umbilical cord with the placenta has already formed. The future baby is able to feel the touch of parents on the stomach , with loud sounds, his heart beats stronger, his eyes react to light, his ears - to sounds.

What can parents do?

• Now it is important to "make contact" with the baby, and the easiest way to do this is through music. According to research, the classic is the best option – babies in the womb like it more than others, and Vivaldi and Mozart are “useful” for the active development of the brain and the formation of the nervous system.
• As for rock music and heavier genres, they excite the child and even cause fear. Classical music and folk lullabies have a soothing effect, lulling . Having been born, the baby will easily fall asleep (both during the day and at night) to an already familiar melody. Relax music will also benefit - the sounds of the sea, forest, etc.
• No less important during this period are the personal relationships of the spouses. All conflicts and misunderstandings will be reflected after the birth of the baby on his character. Therefore, careful, warm relations and caring for each other are now the most important thing.
• No negative thoughts! The child begins to accumulate information, and the task of the mother is to protect the baby from any negativity. All mother's fears can be "inherited" to the child, all the negative emotions experienced by the mother will be deposited in his subconscious. Not to mention the fact that any mother's stress affects the baby with hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
• Sing to your little one. Mom's voice is the best in the world. Calms, lulls, gives a sense of security. And read fairy tales - kind and beautiful. And if they are in other languages, even better (learning languages ​​with such “preparation” will not be a problem for the baby).

Sports and active lifestyle at 4 months pregnant

Your baby is already making the first movements, ears and fingers are being formed. The head grows, all organs and systems are actively developing, the rudiments of teeth appear. The 4th month is the time to “lay the foundation”. The future character of the child, the ability of the intellect and even laziness are being formed, according to experts, right now.

What can parents do?

• Mom should not lock herself in the apartment and tremble with every step she takes (unless recommended by a doctor) - lead an active life, meet friends, take regular walks.
• Do not be lazy to get up in the morning, do not disrupt the daily routine. Getting used to watching romantic comedies at night (for example) and cracking sweets, you run the risk of introducing this habit to your baby.
• Do not exclude sports from your life. Of course, you should not skydive, bungee fly and conquer peaks, but light sports are not only not contraindicated, but also recommended. In extreme cases, there are always options such as swimming for pregnant women and exercising in the water, special physical education, yoga for pregnant women.
• Remember to eat healthy. Adhering to the right attitude to food, you shape the tastes of the future crumbs. See also: Proper nutrition in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Fathers and children at the 5th month of intrauterine life of the baby

The baby is already moving very intensively, his height is more than 20 cm, hairs on the top of his head begin to grow, eyelashes and eyebrows appear. This period is important for the formation of a close bond between the baby and his father .

What can dad do?

• Of course, dad will not be able to communicate with the child as closely as the expectant mother. But you need to find time to communicate with the baby. Stroke your wife's tummy, read fairy tales to your baby, talk to him, do not forget to wish good night and kiss him in the morning before leaving for work. Your participation in the life of the baby before birth is the key to future close and close relationships with the child.
• If the spouse is nervous, crying or angry, calm the baby down - thus you smooth out the impact of negative emotions on the psyche of the future crumbs. And at the same time, teach your mother to control your emotions.
• Feel free to your spouse and relatives - sing lullabies to your child. The low-frequency voice of the father, according to research, has a positive effect not only on the development of the psyche of the child, but also on the development of his reproductive system.
• Children with whom both mother and father communicated before birth endure childbirth more easily, and their intelligence develops faster than peers.
• Having memorized in the womb the gentle voice and timbre of the father, the newborn will fall asleep with his father just as calmly as in the arms of his mother.

We develop a craving for beauty in the future baby at the 6th month of life in the womb

The baby is already 33 cm tall, it weighs about 800 g, fingers are already visible on the hands and feet. Eyes open and sensitive to light. In a situation of premature birth, the baby (with appropriate intensive medical care) is able to survive .

As the experts say, at this stage the acquisition of bad/good taste is influenced, and even external data . As for appearance, this is not a proven fact, but a mother can very well instill the right taste in a baby.

What to do, how to raise a child in the womb?

• All eyes on art ! Enlighten, relax with benefit, enjoy the beauty of nature and art.
• Watch good positive films and read classical literature (preferably aloud).
• Go to an interesting exhibition, gallery, museum or theater . Preferably with your spouse.
• Get creative and art therapy . Draw as best as you can, do not be shy, putting all your love for the baby into the pictures.
• Learn to dance, crochet or decorate . Creativity that brings pleasure to mom is a benefit for the psyche and development of the baby.

Teaching your baby to relax at the 7th month of pregnancy

Your baby not only reacts to sounds and light, but also sleeps, stays awake, distinguishes sour from sweet, remembers the voices of mom and dad and sucks his thumb . During this period, it is important for the mother to establish close contact with the baby.

• Learn one of the relaxation techniques - yoga, meditation, etc.
• Regularly take a break from the hustle and bustle and, turning on pleasant music, relax and tune in to the "one wave" with the child.
• Stroke your tummy , compose fairy tales aloud, read children's poems from memory.
• Remember that your "relaxation" during pregnancy - is stable mentality of the baby in the future , high immunity, easy stress tolerance and restful sleep.
• Play with light and touch. Touch your belly, play with your baby's heels, wait for him to respond to the touch. With the help of dad and a flashlight, you can play “light / dark” with the baby, directing the beam to the stomach.

We communicate with the baby and teach to enjoy life at 8 months inside the womb

The baby already sees and hears perfectly . With the exception of the lungs, all systems are well developed. The brain is developing intensively. The more positive in the life of the mother now, the more actively the baby develops, the stronger his health and psyche.

• Use every opportunity to get positive emotions. Go for a massage or a beauty salon, use aroma and color therapy, surround yourself only with good people and beautiful things.
• Your baby already knows your reaction to stressful factors and positive moments . If you learn to quickly cope with stress, and your heart palpitations at this moment will be short-lived, the baby will remember your reaction and after birth will delight you with emotional stability.
• The baby is now absorbing information at the cellular level. Explaining everything that happens to him, calming down, suppressing negative emotions in yourself, you program the character of a strong and strong-willed person.

Preparing your baby to meet the world at 9 months pregnant

Your baby is about to be born. All organs are already fully formed, there is practically no room for the baby to move, he is gaining strength to go out into the world , and your task is to fully help him in this.

Therefore, now is not the time for an active life and noisy parties, resentment, anxiety and despondency. Relax, recharge with joy, knit booties, buy toys and bonnets, do not overload your body with heavy food . The ideal option is if the spouse takes a vacation for this period and devotes it to you and the future baby.

Of course, there is no need to bring the process of intrauterine education to the point of absurdity. It makes no sense to read physics textbooks to your child and quote the statements of famous philosophers. Information is a necessary and useful thing, but the main thing in the intrauterine upbringing of a baby is the attention and love of parents.

Fairy tales during pregnancy for the baby

Structure of the article

Conversation with the “tummy” strengthens future mutual understanding between the child and parents

Telling your child about what happened today, about your day, you will instill in him confidence and peace . Such communication helps the formation of the brain and the rudiments of cognitive functions. As for reading books, it instills a desire to learn in the future. When you communicate through music, you instill in your child a sense of beauty in utero. If you often sing or listen to music from the outside, the child's musical ear develops well.

The child recognizes the voices of those whom he heard more often during his life “in the tummy”

When not only the mother, but also other close people talk to the child, the child begins to react to their voices earlier, calms down faster. Conversations not only help the development of children, but also have a positive effect on the physiological state of the pregnant woman. You establish an emotional connection with each other. Feel each other's desires. When an affectionate name or some code word sounds from the lips of a pregnant mother, the child reacts tactilely in utero: pushes, moves, spins. And after birth, these words soothe him.

Communication with a child improves the course of pregnancy

Communication with a child does not require preparation, just listen to your intuition. Involve your husband, the father of the baby, in such a wonderful cause. Studies have been conducted on how the baby responds to examinations during pregnancy. Scientists noted an interesting point: the children with whom their mothers spoke before the ultrasound lay very calmly, could suck their fingers or hold their hands in their fists, but the children with whom their mothers did not speak were restless, wanted to hide, and closed. CONCLUSIONS are that uncertainty and stress affect the child even before his birth, so it is important for him to voice all that a woman experiences during pregnancy.

Good news improves a child's mood

Communication with a child is important when no one interferes, when you feel relaxed and not embarrassed. Many choose the time before bedtime, when you can calmly lie down, there is a spouse nearby, who can also be actively included in communication.

When should I start communicating with my child?

“Mom and dad came to the wise man, who had a baby and who was only 5 days old. The parents of the newborn asked the sage a question: “Tell me, please, when should we start raising our child?”

To which the sage replied: you are exactly nine months and five days late.”

You should start talking to your baby as soon as you find out you are pregnant. And very often it happens that it has not yet been confirmed, and you already feel that a new life is born inside you, you feel a small heart in your heart. When you talk together, look at nature, beautiful things, your hearts communicate, and at this moment there is that connection that we call blood, with which you will always understand your child without words!

Ways of communication with the unborn child

1. Physical contact

• Establishing a connection with the intrauterine baby through touching the mother's abdominal wall, stroking the tummy.
• Such communication will help you establish an emotional connection with the child during pregnancy and teach you to understand the state of the child by his movements. In addition, communication with a child before birth helps to reduce a pregnant woman's feelings of fatigue, anxiety and fear, as well as conscious childbirth and easy child rearing.

• Babies who feel contact with their mother during fetal development are born calmer, cry less and worry at night.

In further development, the child adapts better at school, is not afraid of new situations, does not conflict with others and easily joins the team. In a word, they are more social in society and successful in life.

2. Music

• Currently, scientists have proven that listening to quality structured music by a mother during pregnancy strengthens the child's neurons, promotes the formation of a close functional connection between the cerebral hemispheres. As a result, children have a greater ability to learn, to master reading, foreign languages. They have a very finely developed ear for music.
• The best thing that mom should listen to during this period is Mozart, Vivaldi, Liszt.

3. Tips for parents: “How to talk to a future child?”

• Scientists have proven that the baby's hearing develops very early: the baby hears and understands everything while still in the womb, so talking to him is not only possible, but also necessary. This stimulates its development.
• The future child needs to be told about how mom and dad love him, about how impatiently they are waiting for the birth of their long-awaited little one. The kid should talk about how wonderful, kind, smart, talented he is. Conversations with the child in the womb should be very tender and sincere.
• For daily communication with your child, choose free time, for example, every time before bedtime. If you talk to the baby at the same time, each time he will look forward to this moment when he will again hear his mother's native voice. The child will get used to your voice and recognize it. This practice also helps to better feel like a future mother, strengthen bonds, feel your body, your child in it.

so I also comment on everything I do. but I say that it is not I who do it, but WE. and already so used to it. I sing songs, in general, it will not turn out that I lisp with him, but simply tell how we live. what we buy him. how we are waiting for it.
The husband also talks to him every evening. hello. asks how he got on all day. until the folder saw us. how I behaved. Did you feed on time? well, everything like that :-)
by the way, when the husband starts talking to the little one. he starts pushing.
has not yet been named. that's why we call him Ponytail :-)

oh girls, everything is soooo cool. I’m ready from today to learn how to talk with my tummy))) only we don’t have it yet. too early. everything is so cool))
I also have a favorite singer)

“LET'S TALK” TO THE STOMACH

Being in the mother's womb, the child is an equal participant in the events in which the mother is involved. In nine months, he not only becomes attached to his parents, but also builds relationships with them. Of course, provided that the mother herself makes contact with the baby.

In Yaroslavl, perinatal psychologist Natalya Mitrushina helps parents to teach mind-reason “big tummies” to parents. She graduated from Demidov University with a degree in psychology and received additional internships in perinatal psychology in St. Petersburg and Moscow. This branch of science studies the relationship between parents and their child during the period of feeding, birth and gestation. For three years now, Natalia has been showing moms and dads how to talk to unborn children, and is very offended when a mother calls her unborn baby a “fetus” or, even worse, an “embryo”.

IT WAS BETTER
WITH A MIDWIFE

In general, science paid attention to such communication only recently, literally ten or twenty years ago. However, one should not think that women of previous centuries did not think about their connection with the child. In India, for example, mothers were encouraged to meditate, sing and draw.

Russian women are also not born with a bast - their faith in signs and various slander was unshakable. So, in pre-revolutionary Russia there was a set of rules and signs regulating the behavior of a pregnant woman. The midwife played a special role - she passed on her knowledge and skills, thereby helping to endure and give birth to a healthy child.

But the miraculous technology and medicines that appeared soon overshadowed perinatal education, giving way to childbirth guidance. This is how the responsibility was transferred from the expectant mother and her family to the medical institution.

Since then, parents have stopped thinking about communicating with their baby. Then what kind of normal human communication can be expected later, when the child grows up?

Scientists now believe that this is what led to the appearance of abandoned children, a large number of caesarean sections and problems within families.

In May of this year, Natalia went to St. Petersburg for a congress, where specialists from various fields discussed issues, in particular, those related to the role of the whole family in preparing for the birth of a baby. She says that scientists all over the world agree that life after birth is only a continuation of intrauterine life. Judge for yourself: already at five or six weeks the central nervous system is formed, at 9-10 the child begins to distinguish taste, during the same period he actively moves his arms, somersaults in his “house”. He can even remember the offender of his mother: it is noticed that the child remembers the voice that causes tears or resentment in the mother. Subsequently, after hearing similar sounds, the baby may burst into tears.

The fetus first develops the sense of touch. The child may even feel "tactile hunger" from lack of communication with him. Mom should talk to the baby, pat on the tummy and determine the answer by his pushes. While in the womb, the child hears the songs that his mother sings to him. It has been proven that children whose mothers sang during pregnancy are balanced, easier to learn, more capable of foreign languages, more diligent. Natalya recommends that parents listen to classical music, leaving hard rock for later, even with their mother's special love for it. Although, of course, the main thing is that you like the music. It is very important not to stun the child and not cause aggression in him.

It is generally accepted that a pregnant woman should surround herself and her child with pleasant and beautiful things. The store shelves are full of CDs with collections of relaxing music for pregnant women and aids for developing an ear for music in the womb. Let's consider together why it is so important to listen to music during pregnancy, and which songs will bring the greatest benefit to mom and her baby.

Influence of music on pregnancy

Medical researches of the last decades have proved that children in the womb can hear and remember the melodies that their mother listens to. For example, if you often sing a lullaby while still pregnant, then after the birth of the baby, the same lullaby will help him calm down much faster than any other, even the most correctly chosen melody. This fact of intrauterine memory seems surprising, but it is confirmed by the research of the largest scientists from Finland, Germany and the USA. That is why it is important to make a playlist in advance and think about what music you can listen to during pregnancy.

In addition, it is mother's singing along with the sounds of mother's voice that stimulate the same areas of the child's brain that are responsible for speech. Thus, the more a mother sings for her baby while he is still in her belly, the sooner he will be able to master the language when he is born.

However, music has a beneficial effect not only on the baby, but also on the pregnant woman herself. Women who regularly listen to soothing compositions and lullabies are much less nervous, do not suffer from depression and causeless anxiety. They also stabilize the level of the hormone cortisol, which is responsible for the stress response. It's no secret that pregnant women often worry about trifles and cannot calm down for a long time - such behavior, among other things, is associated with too high levels of cortisol.

Meanwhile, not all music will benefit a pregnant woman and her baby. Music that is too loud or has an unusual range of sounds can, on the contrary, cause a lot of stress in the baby and lead to nervousness and anxiety in the mother.

What kind of music is good to listen to during pregnancy?

Doctors recommend three main groups of compositions for listening during pregnancy.

1. Calm classical music - among the creative heritage of such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, Strauss and others, one can find a significant number of lyrical calm or cheerful melodies. In addition to a calming and relaxing effect, such compositions develop an ear for music and a sense of beauty.
2. Folk or author's lullabies is the most popular group of songs to listen to among pregnant women. The special rhythm and repetition of lullabies acts directly on brain waves, relieving excessive anxiety and fussiness. In addition, there are so many songs that everyone can choose a lullaby to their liking!
3. Sounds of nature or folk songs - the voices of birds, the murmur of water, folk songs, everything that awakens a deep connection with the earth and the world around. It is generally believed that sound combinations and singing from one's own folk tradition bring the greatest benefit.

In addition to choosing the right music, it is also important to follow some recommendations that will enhance the healing effect of music on the body of the expectant mother.

How to listen to music during pregnancy:

• Expectant mothers often ask the question - is it possible to listen to music with headphones during pregnancy? Scientists believe that using headphones is not the best option, since the greatest benefit is achieved precisely when sounds penetrate at a distance.
• Do not listen to music too loud during pregnancy, especially if it contains a lot of low sounds.
• Sing along as much as you can, or if you don't know the words, just purr along with the melody. This will allow your baby to better remember and understand what he hears.

))) Fairy tales that pregnant women can read to their baby:
communication with a child during pregnancy. Belly conversation. Almost all expectant mothers mentally establish contact with their unborn child. They know, well, what can a bulging tummy understand?

Today there are many schools for pregnant women - traditional and innovative, and many of them tell future parents about the importance of raising a baby even before his birth - this is prenatal pedagogy, a modern trend in science and psychology. This technique suggests that the child already in the early stages of pregnancy reacts differently to various external factors, including music.

About music and hearing

Many expectant mothers listen to during pregnancy music — it accompanies us everywhere, and the baby also becomes its listener in the womb.

Some moms-to-be put earphones on their belly - but will the baby hear them? What to choose for a young music lover? Does music harm the embryo and is it worth practicing prenatal education at all? There are no exact answers to these questions. However, we somehow bring up the baby in the womb - we talk to him, sing to him, stroke him, and these are the basics of education.

For many years, the question of whether the child hears while in the uterus was controversial, since there was no confirmation of this data. But experienced obstetricians claim that the fetus definitely hears - after all, already in the seventh week of his life, the hearing organ is formed, and at nine weeks you can see the ears on an ultrasound scan.

The bones in the ear, which are responsible for conducting sounds, are formed by eighteen to twenty weeks - from this age, the fetus accurately hears everything that happens inside and outside the abdomen, albeit with some muffling, due to the walls of the uterus and amniotic fluid.

From the 24th week the baby in the stomach distinguishes the frequencies and timbres of voices and sounds: sharp, low and loud sounds frighten him, light, melodic ones amuse him, and sometimes he even dances in his stomach to energetic rhythms.

How does the fetus hear?

Would you like to imagine how the fetus hears music? To feel it, turn on the melody and dive in the bath under the water. The sound of the mother's heartbeat and the peristalsis of her intestines, the sound of breathing and motor vibrations are added to the sounds of the outside world.

The shorter the gestational age, the narrower the frequency range. After 20 weeks, the fetus can distinguish sounds in the range of 500-1000 Hertz, as the fetus grows, the range of sounds expands - it distinguishes the lowest frequencies within 100 Hertz, the highest ones reach 4000, the child does not perceive low and very high frequencies.

According to some reports, hard rock and heavy metal have such frequencies that unbalance the immature neurons of the fetal brain and lead to their death. Therefore, if a woman is an avid metalhead, it is worth reconsidering her addictions a little, at least during pregnancy.

Developing the musical taste of the baby

The baby can “listen” to music through the mother, if she turns on the player and listens to the sounds, or by putting headphones on the stomach. However, not always your taste and the taste of the baby coincide. Contrary to popular belief about the need for classics, not all children love it and “listen” calmly. Many babies begin to actively push, demanding a change of record.

By the beginning of the sixth month your baby is tall0483 twenty three - twenty six centimeters.

At this time, the baby is already building various grimaces, wrinkling his nose and moving his eyebrows. In addition, he diligently masters various movements, swims and frolics in his warm and cozy "pool".

The baby is already big enough and his heartbeat can be heard not only with ultrasound, but also with a stethoscope.

I would like to note that the heart of a little baby beats about twice as fast as ours, adults. His heart rate is about 120-160 beats per minute . There are quite a few myths about this, for example, that the heart rate of girls is higher than that of boys, and thus the gender of the unborn child can be assumed.

But since we are supporters of the medical approach, we do not engage in “fortune telling on coffee grounds” and believe the results of ultrasound diagnostics.

Starting from the twenty-third week a new magical stage begins - your baby begins to distinguish sounds and hear voices. So, this is the time when it's time to start reading fairy tales, singing lullabies and talking to your miracle, which is so conveniently located in your stomach.

Prenatal psychologists of the Center for Maternity, Natural Development and Child Health say that it is very important for a baby to hear not only his mother, but also his father's voice. Ask dads to talk to the baby, pay attention to him. This will not only bring pleasure, but also unite the family even more.

The baby, still in his stomach, gets used not only to the voices of his relatives, but also to the motives and melodies that he heard while in the womb, but also listens, calms down when he hears a familiar voice or motives.

By the twenty-fourth week your baby is already the size of a large ear of corn and about eight hundred grams of scab.

From this moment on, the baby's skin begins to smooth out, wrinkles become smaller, and the weight grows more actively. The body begins to store fat by the time of birth.

The health of the expectant mother deserves special attention.

In the sixth month of pregnancy, about 20% of pregnant women begin to suffer from iron deficiency or latent anemia.

What symptoms should I look out for?

If you are familiar with one or more symptoms, gynecologists of the Center recommend taking tests to check the level of iron and ferritin in the blood.

How can iron deficiency be compensated?

Experts recommend including foods rich in this trace element in the diet:

In order for iron to be fully absorbed, it is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.

The singer remembered that she was constantly crying.

Almost a year ago the singer Yulianna Karaulova became a mother for the first time. She gave birth to a son, whom she and her husband, sound producer Andrey Cherny , gave the name Alexander . As it turned out, after giving birth, the artist fell into an emotional state similar to postpartum depression. The young mother remembered how she felt after the birth of the long-awaited baby.

Yulianna was still in the hospital when she felt an incredible surge of emotions. Due to a hormonal surge, Karaulova began to cry and could not stop. The young mother understood that she felt this way precisely because of the hormones. “I just sobbed all day! It happened on the third day after giving birth. I realized that I was crying for no reason. I felt bad and terribly sorry for myself. A child was lying next to me, this is incredible happiness, but I could not stop, ”said the 34-year-old star.

“The doctor came (and I had to be discharged the next day) and said that I was not ready to be discharged yet and left me in the hospital for another day. Then I slept for a couple of hours, I was let go. I realized that hormones are to blame. I was aware of this because I had inappropriate behavior. I know women who have this period is delayed. God forbid, of course! — quotes Yuliana Karaulova edition of “StarHit”.

It is worth saying that Yulianna Karaulova announced her pregnancy after the release of the video for the song “So Strong”, in which she appeared with a rounded belly. The artist's son was born on May 29 in one of the Moscow maternity hospitals. Julianna shared an important event on her personal blog a few days after giving birth. “The most important moment in my life. And the most special person! Thank you for choosing us my incredible boy! Dad and I won't let you down!" – emotionally wrote a young mother. She also thanked the doctors and noted that she was afraid to give birth in vain. Thanks to the precise work of a well-coordinated team, her birth went perfectly.

Shortly before the birth, Yulianna Karaulova said that the wait for the birth of the baby was delayed. The singer was already 41 weeks pregnant, and childbirth did not begin. Then the celebrity admitted that she received a lot of messages where she was asked only one question - did she give birth.
