“A baby is born with a need to be loved and never outgrows it” (Clark). All babies are born completely innocent and bring joy into their family as soon as they enter the world. Parents have many months to prepare for the birth of their baby. They have many hopes and dreams for their child and have a lot to prepare for like choosing the perfect name. A soon as the baby arrives, the family starts to make memories, which makes interesting stories later on. On July 7, 2004, I entered this world at 8:40 am. . My mom, grandma, and dad were very happy for me to be in this world. When I as a baby and child I was innocent loved everyone. I arrived, with a bright pink color, which confirmed that the ultrasound was correct, i was a girl. My mom said that I was a very happy baby. I was always smiling and never was sad. …show more content…
But till I found out the meaning of my name I started loving it. I didn’t care what people thought because that’s my name it is an honor for me to have that name and i’m very lucky to have it. The meaning to my name is before my mom got pregnant with me she had a brother named Andrew, but everyone called him Andy. Sooner or later he got diagnosed with cancer and it was spreading quickly. My mom and my grandma spended as much time as they could before he he died my mom also told him she would name her child after him. At 34 he was holding my mom’s had before he closed his eyes and went some where peaceful.Then My mom found out she was
One cannot raise a child without mutual respect. Emotion and anxiety must drive her instincts. Her ability to foster is only heightened by personal imperfections and overwhelming responsibility that lead to a lack of confidence. Yet the prevailing characteristic that separates a ‘birth giver’ from a ‘mother’ is the unconditional, undying, and at times underestimated love for her child. To be a mother in the purest sense, she must embrace this notion of nurture.
Children need to be loved and nurtured, especially as infants, in a way that only a human parent can provide.
Both the baby and their love for each other, which are non-material things, led them to
The way a child was conceived isn’t normally a thought anyone would focus on. No one expects that a child would be upset about how they were created. But in the poem “The Planned Child” by Sharon Olds that is exactly what happens. In this the poem, the reader gets to experience the thoughts of a woman who is upset that she wasn’t conceived in a more romantic way. The speaker’s identity is never revealed so the speaker could be the author or just any young woman. The reader gets to witness the woman’s emotion change from disapproval and disappointment to acceptance and understanding. Sharon Olds show the reader how the speaker can celebrate her conception with unique imagery and an adapting tone.
The article continues to make a rather interesting point that defies the logic of those who believe they obtain such a fantastic instinct to parent. Parents would not have to tolerate the stress that preparing to have a child brings if the natural impulse is true. Having all the answers when it comes to children is not something that can spontaneously come about as soon as one hears the news that they are pregnant. Such knowledge must be learned, and it is the parent’s responsibility to make sure that they
Fromm describes the value of secure attachment, explaining that to a baby, “mother is warmth, mother is food, mother is euphoric state of satisfaction and security” (Fromm, 38). As they grow, children learn how to love and be loved through this relationship. The experience of being loved as a baby is described as a “passive one” because “there is nothing I [the baby] has to do in order to be loved” (Fromm, 39). Love, as a child may have learned about it, can only be received and “cannot be acquired, produced, controlled”, but the “capacity to love” can be developed; this is usually displayed in children starting at age eight (Fromm, 40). In a healthy learning journey, children come to learn that “love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person; it is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole, not toward one “object” of love” (Fromm, 46). Children will seriously struggle - especially in regards to their ability to love and be loved - if they are deprived a comforting, present caretaker in their early years of
The human infant is called a neonate who is less than 28 days old. (Potter, Perry, Ross-Kerr, & Wood, 2009, p. 333) The newborn goes through mostly reflex changes during this critical time which leads to bonding and deep attachments between the parents and the neonate during the first 28 days. The neonate I worked with was 18 days old, male, Muslim, goes by the initials MK and lived in a townhouse with his parents. During birth, the family requested as many female staff as possible due to religious reasons.
Birth: Hope: When a child is born, it implant in his parents and other caregivers with a sense of optimism, a sense that the new life may bring something new and special into the world. Therefore, the newborn represents the sense of hope that we all nourish inside of ourselves to make the world a better place.
...es have to realize that they are not just caring for a premature infant, but also a new family. It is also important for the nurse to understand that the mothers’ and fathers’ approach to touching and bonding with their infant may differ. Although quantitative data from Chiu and Anderson (2009) did not reveal significant differences between the control group and the SSC group at 18 months, the data from Latva et al. (2008) showed significant behavioral differences at six years old when infants were touched as newborns and formed a secure attachment. Therefore, for the health and well-being of both parents and child, time and opportunity to have SSC and bonding experiences must be priorities in the plan of care for infants in the NICU. As one mother stated, “I need to be allowed to feel that he is mine.” (Fegran, Helseth, & Fagermoen, 2007, pg. 813)

A child is life’s finest gift, at times the most challenging, the most important one, and the one that teaches you, your most significant lessons.
There are many different areas to consider when preparing for and having a newborn. Whether the pregnancy was planned or unplanned or the couple is married or not, a newborn baby brings new responsibilities. Having a baby also forces people to make adjustments both financially and within the family. Parents also express concerns and expectations when having a newborn comma especially when it is their first; including what roles each parent and family member should play, how much confidence they have in their parenting skills, and how much financial strain would be placed on the family once the newborn has arrived. The newest issue in today’s society is the fact that many women are delaying childbirth and having more children in their later years of life.
Attachment is crucial to the survival and development of the infant. Kenneth and Klaus points out that the parents bond to their child may be the strongest of all human ties. This relationship has two unique characteristics. First, before birth one individual infant gestates within a part of the mothers body and second, after birth she ensures his survival while he is utterly dependent on her and until he becomes a separate individual. According to Mercer, the power of this attachment is so great that it enables the mother and father to make the unusual sacrifices necessary for the care of their infant. Day after day, night after night; changing diapers, attending to cries, protecting the child from danger, and giving feed in the middle of the night despite their desperate need to sleep (Mercer 22). It is important to note that this original parent-infant tie is the major source for all of the infant’s subsequent attachment and is the formative relationship in the course of which the child develops a sense of himself. Throughout his lifetime the strength and character of this attachment will influence the quality of all future ties to other individuals. The question is asked, "What is the normal process by which a father and mother become attached to a healthy infant?"...
Does everybody have the capacity to become a parent? All people need to know the needs of babies. It is a great responsibility to have a baby and it will change your life. People who want to become parents need to inform themselves and they should focus on giving a better life to their children. Not everyone has the ability to care for a child correctly and not everyone has the essentials that are needed as food money home and provide love. There are people waiting to have children and give them all the best they can and there are parents who abuse their children. Also having a child is a natural part of every human’s life but this doesn't mean all people have the capacity
Rational. Not the first adjective I would use to describe myself, but when people call me “Alyssa”, people are telling me that I am literally not insane. Strangely, even though I never thought of myself as logical, I love working on reasoning puzzles and ace tests based off of rationality. Plus, I certainly am not crazy (I think). Perhaps my parents were determining my future when they read the special name off of a magazine and knew that they just had to name their firstborn child that. However, this “complicated” name comes with many variations, such as “A-leee-saa” (by my parents, who speak English as their second language), “Liz” (by my friends, who are too lazy to call me by my name, which is just so long), and “A-lai-sa” (by one of Chinese teachers who couldn’t pronounce my name correctly, which resulted in everyone else also calling me by that name in a joking manner).
