Natural Babymanship?
Is it the new way of training babies? Does it replace a crude out dated method with kinder gentler means?
I don’t know. I know nothing about babies but when the nurses started talking about body language and watching for a baby to tell you what it was ready for all I could think about was horse training. I have always thought that training children must be the same as training anything else. Consistency mostly. Again from my completely ignorant point of view. But if we are incorporating natural horsemanship how do you make the right thing easy for a baby? So if we are supposed to watch for signs of hunger and feed them before they cry is a hungry crying baby the equivalent of a colt who has been pushed to far and is bucking?
The nurses (and every one else I’m sure) probably think I crazy constantly comparing babies to bottle calves and horses. The similarities are great though and I am happy to have practiced on them before having to do the real thing.
On the bright and scary side they are saying Elly might be able to come home soon.
Megan! If I come out there and find you have either branded Illy or had her tatooed I am going to be so mad at you! Cant wait to find out how you reward a tiny baby and how you make the right thing easy. its like a continuing saga.
I thought the same thing when I looked at the picture of Larel reading to Illy. What kind of story is he telling her??!!
