Well, at least, it seems to me that you should try to find good and educational toys to engage with your child. If you want your child to go as soon as possible, then on the evas-brand.com website you can find a good place where you can buy a ladder that will help your child develop.

One has to take into consideration the fact that a good mental health is attained when planning for a family. There is also need for enough resources for the child in order for them to be happy for instance one should prepare to give education,food,shelter,clothing and health facilities to the child.

Parenting is not an easy task. Mental preparation helps parents to develop attachment with the fetus. Research has been proven that unwanted pregnancy has worse outcomes on child. So be ready and happy if you want a healthy baby!

Parenting is not a easy job. It takes time and patience. A child needs attention love and care in every stage of life. Sending school and feeding well are not enough to raise a normal healthy child. If you are ready to give your full attention to your child from birth till certain age. You should plan your family. If you are too busy with work n life, don't plan a baby because instead of making his life better, you'll destroy his life and personality.

As a new parent, I would read books on what to expect when the baby is born and what is expected of me in the hospital before discharge.  During my pregnancy, I would be reading books on how to prepare my home and my self to be ready to greet our baby with the support of my husband.

Meeting with new parents or parents who have one child and get to know what steps they took.  Each couple is differnt and each child is different.  Maybe baby sitting a friend's baby for a few hours to get the feeling of a baby and his/her needs.

Go to the park and take walks with your husband while observing how other parents with multiple children are interacting with their own children.

Ask family members and relatives for support and create a plan in case of any emergencies that may rise as well as reading new articles on the internet or from the library on how parents skills are changing in this day and age

Just becoming physical parents is not enough you need to parent your child in the light of right teachings to be a better person.

Thank you for the invitation

First, the readiness of his father is born by infidelity. But under globalization and openness we must study psychology to deal with an open generation and the child should be founded on principles so that he knows how to deal with them
