What she does to get that attention, or will she be okay not getting it will be interesting. In school she is going to realize that getting attention is going to be much harder. Soon it will be time for her to go to school. Once they find a pattern, they keep trying it again and again with some minor variations. For them a groan or a retort is a victory. They also want a response from the adult. All they want is to test a hypothesis on how long can a particular adult tolerate me licking the floor. A child does not realize that they are annoying someone by licking the floor. Adults are not always in the mood to respond, so children try different antics to get attention. They think that the maximum learning happens from an adult, so they want all of them engaged. After the basics (input, output, rest) are satisfied, children want to learn and want attentions from adults.
So if she cannot get a response from one adult, she goes on to another. She also knows that everyone in the house has different levels of patience. She has learnt to answer back nonsense because adults seem to love that. Judgement is passed on almost every act, and it is usually amusement or praise. With Kavya, since she is the only child in the house with five adults, she gets disproportionate attention. A lot depends on what you think and how you react to the situations. You can try to raise your child as an achiever (producer) or a thinker. Books on parenting can have diametrically opposite opinions.
Because almost everything we are conventionally taught about raising children is based on shaky ground and opinion. If you happening to be the questioning kind, specially if you have any affinity to the question “why”, then your troubles are bound to multiply. You just step back and let things settle down a bit.
You do not react if your partner is angry. You do not react if your child is provoking you. It takes time to realize that you do not react if a child is crying. You are learning what it means to step back from a “situation” and see what is really happening. This keeps on happening until you decide that certain things are just not worth the effort. Then there is confusion on who is responsible if the task list does not get completed. Next thing you know is that you are on a treadmill – tasks at home, tasks at work. Also if you are someone who is not used to anticipating and planning, you can quickly get behind the task list, that just keeps on extending. With a child around, the amount of activities suddenly explodes. For first time parents, there is always a feeling that there was an era before parenthood and after parenthood. I have also been a staffed childbirth educator at Amma Parenting since January 2014.Kavya is already three.

Fast forward to adulthood, after receiving a BA at the U of MN, my professional career began in event planning as I managed a cooking school + taught cooking classes across the country.įrom there, my career as a birth worker started in 2012. I was always eagered to come home straight away to hold + care for the infants and babies in my mother's care. I have been working with families since a young age in my mother's in-home daycare. I can typically find an easy way to relate everything back to birth + lactation and will be a sincere + honest source about the ups and downs of parenthood. I am encouraging, pragmatic, always up-to-date and at-the-ready to guide you through the preparation of a positive birth, postpartum and lactation experience for you and your growing family.
