An abused kid?

Monday, July 21st, 2008


his mom and dad abused him, his father would rape him they went to jail of course, i made sure they got put away for that ****. but i have to take care of him (he is my nephew) but the problem is he doesn’t talk AT ALL. he sits and cries. i try to make him feel better, get him more active.. he barely eats. help! what can i do to help this child???

 

You don’t say how old he is. But you need to have him seen by a good pediatric psychologist or psychiatrist. He may be referred for play therapy.
Meanwhile, get some age-appropriate toys, including some action figures both male and female, animals, paper and crayons or markers, anything you can think of. Put them out where he can use them.
If he doesn’t play with them, you play with them. Comment on everything you are doing. “I’m going to play with the truck. I’m making it go all around the chair. Now I want to play with the horses. Here are two horses. they are going to the pasture to eat…”
If he does play, follow his lead always (unless he does something you don’t allow, like playing with fragile dishes). Comment in a neutral way on what he does. “You got a piece of paper and a marker. You are drawing. It’s green…” If he talks, acknowledger what he says. If he says, “These horses are in a fence,” say, “Oh, they are in the fence.” or something to that effect. Stay involved with him, and follow his lead, don’t make suggestions unless he asks you to.
This is a therapeutic method of playing; of course most of the day you will do things in a normal way.

Give the Basics as Baby Shower Gifts

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Just like when you were looking for baby shower favors to give your guests during your party, it may also be a little difficult to look for unique baby gifts for a friend who is expecting. However, it may be less stressful for you if you know what to look for. The key is to choose gifts that are beautiful, yet functional, and you can never go wrong.

One of the most common baby gifts is a customized bath gift basket. It can contain essentials such as body wash, baby powder, lotion, Q-tips, baby bath towels, and baby oil. If the baby is a boy, incorporate designs with masculine prints in color blue, and if it’s a girl, use feminine designs with pink colored prints. Meanwhile, if the gender of the baby is still unknown, you can always go with neutral designs and colors.

Another great gift idea is to give baby blankets. These can be crib comforters, sheets, and bumper pads. Choose designs with bright colors such as blue, purple, pink, green, and white. Also, opt for interesting patterns.

Another great gift idea is a baby photo album or a baby scrapbook, which the new mom can use to keep track of her baby’s firsts. This can hold the memories of her new baby, which will always delight her everytime she looks at her baby’s pictures.

Baby Gift Baskets

Monday, February 4th, 2008

It can be difficult to come up with ideas for baby gifts but you should remember that sometimes the gifts are as much for the mother as for the baby since there are many items that a mother could use but cannot necessarily afford to buy. Baby toys are gifts that never go out of style and can actually be used by the baby. Generally baby gifts are designed for specific age groups. This makes shopping easy as you only need to look at the age range on the outer packaging. But the best and most loved baby toy is still the cuddly teddy bear. This soft and plush gift has no sharp edges and no loose parts so parents can relax while the children play.

A baby monitor makes for another wonderful item for baby gift baskets because the baby’s safety is constantly on the mind of the parents. A monitor is the perfect solution to end this worry because now it is possible to monitor and detect the movements, whining and breathing of the baby audibly and visually too, even from across the house. There are many different models of audio-only, audio and video, and motion-sensor baby monitors to choose from in a wide price range.
