The guide to early learning for babies

The essential guide to early learning for babies: nurturing young minds for a bright future

Baby’s progress
in motor skills

At 9 months, the child begins to make progress in moving. During this period, the baby’s eyes develop. This means that the child is able to perceive its environment better. They also have a good sense of volume.

My child’s
diet

If the infant must be fed primarily by suckling, the first meals should be gradually varied. When the baby reaches 4 months of age and until 12 months of age, parents must follow his growth and favour food diversification.

My child’s
sleep

The biological clock of the newborn is not sufficiently developed to differentiate between day and night. They usually sleep for periods of 2-4 hours. During the first week of life, the infant can sleep for up to 20 hours a day.

My child’s
health

Unlike adults, children are often victims of viruses. This is due to their still weak immunity. Thus, some children seem to catch colds, intestinal problems, coughs, conjunctivitis, runny noses, unexplained fevers, etc.

SCHOOL BULLYING: HOW TO REACT?

Given the alarming figures for bullying in schools, this phenomenon is considered a real scourge. In response to the upsurge, the Ministry of Education has conducted prevention campaigns to curb the problem.

Bullying takes place in an underhand way. It is important to be aware of this, as some children decide not to show it out of shame. However, it is important to curb this action of intentionally hurting students.

There are several categories of harassment: moral, physical, sexual or material. Suicide is one of the most serious consequences of daily violence. Parents have an important role to play in detecting signs of bullying early on.
