Parents, when their offspring enter the dreaded teenage , look back nostalgically on the days when their children hadn't learned to speak yet, were cute and adoring, and hung on to every word that their parents said. One day, puberty happens and the sweet angels of yesterday begin to act like their parents are their worst enemies
My mom often complains about my sister"I dont know whats wrong with maina.She always argues with me for the silliest things.A single day doesnt even pass without she screamimg at me and storming out of the room.I dont know what to do with her.In our days we never raise our voice to our parents."

Teenagers are always talking about their freedom, usually in context of how their parents are obstacles. The minute you give children a curfew, or object to their clothes or hair, or do not allow them to go out, you become the evil dictator who will never understand. Suddenly, 'generation gap' becomes a buzzword. It's as if one day you and your child find yourselves on opposite sides of the fence and there's no meeting ground. Each one feels that the other is speaking a foreign language. Teenagers may not know it or admit it, but they need their parents to guide them about what's right and what's wrong.

This is the time when teenagers try to become individuals in their own right and try to move out from under the protective wing of their parents. They will try out many things in order to be 'in' with the crowd . This is not the time to play the great dictator and alienate your children. Talk to them, but don't talk down to them. The way to do it, is not by making yourself out to be their enemy and coming down on them heavily for every wrongdoing.

Parents tend to forget that they were teenagers too once and their contentment doesn't win them any points with their children. Most parents tend to forget that babies do grow up someday and when the time comes, they must let them go and find their own way in the world. You can't protect your children forever and they won't thank you if you try to.

New life

You've been waiting for this day for months. Finally you get to meet your new baby. But like many new parents, you might not have a clear idea of what that meeting will be like.
Wondering how your baby will look and what he or she will do after arriving?
Although you may have visions of a robust bouncing baby, reality may not match that image. Many newborns are tiny, wet creatures when they first emerge. Often their heads are slightly pointed as a result of passing through the birth canal. This is only temporary — the head will take on a rounded appearance within a few days. You may be suprised that a newborn's head is so big compared with the rest of the body.Your baby also may look crumped since the legs and arms have been kept bent at the knees and elbows while in the womb. Your baby's tiny fingers and toes. Your baby's skin may have one of several possible appearances, looking somewhat red, pink, or purple at first.Rashes, or tiny red and white spots also are common on newborns. These generally clear up over the first few days or weeks after birth.Baby's appearance will change dramatically over the next few weeks as he or she grows. The limbs will extend, the skin tone will probably change.

Newborn baby will go through a few procedures which will include head circumference,weight and length measurement.

The medical staff will dry your baby and place a blanket around him or her. All of this happens very quickly, and before you know it your baby is in your arms for some special bonding time.

Right after birth, a newborn's eyes are open quite a bit and babies spend a lot of time studying faces — especially their parents'. Your baby may turn or react to the sound of your voices. Your baby is using all of the senses, including smell and touch, to further identify and become attached to you.Your newborn will cry, sleep, and at times will look directly into your eyes.Your baby will grab onto your finger if you place it in his or her palm.Intially babies sleep for 24 hrs.Its important to wake them up every 2 -3 hrs and breast feed them.

The mother has to breastfeed the baby as soon as the baby is in her hands.Although milk probably won't fully come in for another day or two.

Having a baby is a major, life-changing experience.You may experience everything from joy to concern . And your feelings may change suddenly and unpredictably. There's a good chance she'll be exhausted, and both parents may start feeling the effects of sleep deprivation.
Every parent reacts differently. Some mothers "forget" the difficulties of labor as soon as they catch a glimpse of their newborns. Some feel high levels of energy driven by the excitement of finally having the baby. Still others feel sad and may experience baby blues or the more serious problems.

When your baby is born, you'll enter an entirely new phase of your life. Take the time during your baby's first days to savor this new beginning.
