Focus On Fetus, Babies' Health and Nutrition

A few days ago，Google announced to quit the Chinese market , it is a commercial activity or political behavior?

As a user, I usually prefer to use it. However, it is said that Google quit the Chinese market is because of too much differences in the negotiations with the Chinese government . I think Google is too presumptuous.Did Google think that any government would be yield to a company although Google is a big company?

In addition, reportedly it is because of Google’s failure in the Chinese market lead to such an excuse to quit. So, Google looks very decent even if really quit.

Which do you think would be the reasons? Or other reasons?

While the majority of children born to women with epilepsy are normal, animal studies have suggested that exposure to epilepsy medications might be associated with “cognitive and behavioral difficulties,” according to background information in the study.

Parents must hope their cute babies are also clever, that’s why many parents have already put money into ‘Intelligence invest’ for their babies to promote the brain development in their early childhood. But there are many ‘Intelligence killers’ in daily life which are easy to be ignored by parents and will impede the brain development for children. Therefore, as parents, you need to know what the ‘Intelligence killers’ are in your daily life.
Not using valproic acid in women of childbearing age is a good idea, as approximately half of all pregnancies are unplanned,

Intelligence killer No.1: Harmful metal element.
stopping any medications without first consulting a neurologist, because seizures can also be damaging to a growing fetus, as well as to the expectant mother.
Parents should pay attention to above methods that the harmful metal elements will enter to babies body. Besides, children should have more fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and the food which contain rich calcium, Fe and Vitamin C, as this kind of food could reduce the amount of lead elements and aluminum elements absorbed by body and also could promote the expelling of harmful metal elements.

Intelligence killer No.2: Play with babies in wrong way
When you play with babies, you should be careful of babies’ appearance. Once there is a possibility of danger, you should stop immediately. You should also pay attention to the toys for babies. Only the safe and healthy toys can be the good friends of babies. You must notice, never toss your baby, as it would cause serious damage on babies’ head and brain.

Intelligence killer No.3: Unhealthy diet
Babies should avoid having gourmet powder and also have less sweet diet. The diet of babies should be balance of moderate meat, vegetables and fresh fruits. Fish and chicken are good for brain development.

Researchers have found that pre-term infants exposed to thirty minutes of Mozart’s music in one session, once per day expend less energy — and therefore need fewer calories to grow rapidly — than when they are not “listening” to the music.

This may seem counterintuitive in a results-oriented society where parents compare notes on their infants’ vocabulary and the news media reports on 2-year-olds being admitted to Mensa, an organization reserved for only the world’s smartest and brightest (or some such). But the recipe for raising smart babies is startlingly simple: Talk to them, cuddle them, nurture them, and provide them with a safe environment in which they can make their own discoveries.
Most parents are willing to do whatever it takes to further their infant’s development. Though part of intelligence is genetic, certain activities and exposure can advance a child when it comes to learning and development.
At about 9 months, the brain’s synapses become attuned to a specific language (or languages), and babies begin to utter syllables and words.
Give your infant opportunities to learn through new activities and experiences. For babies, play is the most valuable work there is. Blowing bubbles, banging on pots and pans, ringing a bell and pushing elevator buttons all are important as they teach cause and effect.
In the second year of their lives, babies turn into little communicators. At about the age of 1, they can understand words spoken by others. At 18 months, many are using two or more words in short sentences. By the time they’re 2, they typically can engage in rudimentary dialogue, learning how to ask and answer and take turns speaking. In short, they become chatterboxes on legs — in a language that can generally only be comprehended by the parents.
Teach language through frequent communication. In addition to everyday chatter, sing, babble and read to your baby to allow him to experience the sound of language. While you change diapers or swing in the rocker, make sounds to help develop language and communication skills even before your baby can speak.
To nurture these skills, experts recommend open-ended toys: building blocks, ring stackers, shape sorters, balls — even Tupperware and pots and pans.
Help your infant learn by allowing her to experience interaction with others. Respond immediately when she cries, laugh when she laughs and stop play when she doesn’t respond or seems worn out. The infant learns she’s able to affect her environment.
If you’re going to get your kid a computer, don’t give him the computer, give him the box.
The information infants gain from this simple play is important for their future play and learning. As soon as babies open their eyes, parents can provide brightly colored pictures around the room, changing the position of the crib and the pictures often. Focusing on the pictures strengthens eye muscles and encourages babies to be alert. Light, washable toys hung as a mobile encourage eye exercises. When the baby is able to hold things; soft rattles and squeaky toys help the child to feel and to hear distinctive sounds. A crib gym set will help in physical growth. Although the child can play alone, part of the play period should include other people. Singing and cuddling are important ways that we can participate in play with infants.When babies begin to sit up, their toys may need to be changed. They are now ready for plastic clacker rings, and enjoy any object that has movement and color. When babies start creeping, they are ready for cloth picture books, balls, and soft, cuddly toys. Nursery rhymes with rhythm and repetition sound pleasant to older infants.

It was once believed that infants lacked the ability to think or form complex ideas and remained without cognition until they learned language. It is now known that babies are aware of their surroundings and interested in exploration from the time they are born. From birth, babies begin to actively learn. They gather, sort, and process information from around them, using the data to develop perception and thinking skills.
Children with linguistic intelligence excel at reading, writing, telling stories, and doing crossword or other word puzzles.
as soon as they are born, infants begin learning to use their senses to explore the world around them. Most newborns can focus on and follow moving objects, distinguish the pitch and volume of sound, see all colors and distinguish their hue and brightness, and start anticipating events, such as sucking at the sight of a nipple. By three months old, infants can recognize faces; imitate the facial expressions of others, such as smiling and frowning; and respond to familiar sounds.

At six months of age, babies are just beginning to understand how the world around them works. They imitate sounds, enjoy hearing their own voice, recognize parents, fear strangers, distinguish between animate and inanimate objects, and base distance on the size of an object. They also realize that if they drop an object, they can pick it up again. At four to seven months, babies can recognize their names.

By nine months, infants can imitate gestures and actions, experiment with the physical properties of objects, understand simple words such as “no,” and understand that an object still exists even when they cannot see it. They also begin to test parental responses to their behavior, such as throwing food on the floor. They remember the reaction and test the parents again to see if they get the same reaction.
Part of the problem regarding intelligence stems from the fact that nobody has adequately defined what intelligence really means. In everyday life, people have a general understanding that some people are “smart,” but when they try to define “smart” precisely, they often have difficulty because a person can be gifted in one area and average or below in another. To explain this phenomenon, some psychologists have developed theories to include multiple components of intelligence.
At 12 months of age, babies can follow a fast moving object; can speak two to fours words, including “mama” and “papa”; imitate animal sounds; associate names with objects; develop attachments to objects, such as a toy or blanket; and experience separation anxiety when away from their parents.
These children process knowledge through their senses. They usually excel at athletics and sports , dance, and crafts.
By 18 months of age, babies are able to understand about 10–50 words; identify body parts; feel a sense of ownership by using the word “my” with certain people or objects; and can follow directions that involve two different tasks, such as picking up toys and putting them in a box.
Some research suggests that playing video games may affect some children’s physical functioning. Effects range from triggering epileptic seizures to causing heart rate and blood pressure changes. Serious adverse physical effects, however, are transient or limited to a small number of players. Research has also identified benefits associated with creative and prosocial uses of video games, as in physical rehabilitation and oncology (Funk, 1993). Proponents of video games suggest that they may be a friendly way of introducing children to computers, and may increase children’s hand-eye coordination and attention to detail.
