For goodness sake, there is a place for recreation, and a place for parenting / looking after the baby. Even a 45-minute low-impact form of exercise involving carrying a baby is bad for the mother's body and posture.

For the poor baby, 45 minutes of swaying and moment half way the height of the mother may badly affect their sense of orientation and hopefully won't damage the development of the young brain.

While many mothers do not do anything to their babies without the advice from medical professional, why are they so gullible about this without giving some thought?

Listen to common sense!

Mandarin-speaking parents get word

What about the English speaking parents? Many of them need more than 10 hours of parenting lessons.

Language skill is neither the problem nor the solution. Parents don't spend enough time with the children, and their respective life styles are so different, and they don't want to know each other's activities.

The bondage is not there, whether at dinner time, or weekend BBQ. The parents make excuses that they don't know their children's school work,- who knows, unless they take some interest to learn about the subject.

Start "connecting" with the children NOW, before they leave you for good!
