This the fifth "B" in attachment parenting and it relates to responding quickly to your babies' cry. I got all the "B"s from this site and personalized it with my story from Tokyo. Been busy lately and have missed my target to blog daily. Looks like the 10,000th post will be when I am an old granddaddy (God willing) since I have been swamped with work. Yet, I am still passionate about leaving my thoughts, sharing my love for my child/children at this blog as a legacy for them to read about. All daddies need to blog. Also, to pick up their babies whenever they cry. Little babies communicate with their parents by crying and later connect to them emotionally which builds their psychological bank of trust, love and security. According to most experts, babies do not manipulate parents with their crying at a young age, but wish to communicate their needs to the parents. As parents, its our God given mandate to nurture life in our hands with lots of love to appreciate life and love more.
Being a parent is not easy. That's because true love is never easy - only God, the origin of all love can do such a great job in showing us that example. We often times question the need to inconvenience ourselves and begin to rationalize including accepting rules we think would work. Ideally, loving without rules is the best policy. Whatever stems from an unselfish heart of love will work long lasting miracles. I always tell myself that if I dread it, it must be good for the baby and myself to take the effort to soothe my baby. Haruka cries for a number of different reasons, including being hungry, wanting to be comfortable, wanting to stay warm in our embrace, needing some peace and quiet and a nice lullaby to sleep, wanting her diapers changed, being fearful of the dark, of being alone or of a bad dream, or feeling ill and in pain. But it all depends on the crying tone and body language. After a while instead of crying, Haruka learns to smile, and communicate by nodding her head whenever she looks at something delicious or wants to play. Thats probably because she trust daddy understands her since day 1.
