Its time to speak

by the name of ALLAH

~Sekarang dah jadi ummi, kena tulis tentang anak pulak ye. Bagi yang akan nikah dan bagi yang akan punya anak mahupun sudah ada anak, silakan baca supaya mudah nanti~

Alhamdulillah, sedar tak sedar.. kini Safiyah Al-Harith dah mencecah 4 bulan umurnya.

Kalau bulan-bulan sebelum ni, ummi akan baca apa perkembangan sepatutnya seorang bayi berdasarkan umurnya kat http://www.babycenter.com. Alhamdulillah, kebanyakan perkembangan yang dinyatakan sama seperti apa yang ummi perhatikan pada Safiyah.

Tapi, bulan yang ke-4 ni, baru hari ni ummi baca. Oh, rupanya sekarang Safiyah sedang belajar bahasa dengan lebih ligat.

Beginning to understand the role of language

Researchers believe that your baby can now understand all the basic sounds that make up his native language. Between this time and 6 months of age, your baby will develop the ability to make some vocal sounds, which means you may hear the words you've been dreaming about, namely "ma-ma" or "da-da." While child development experts say it's too early for your baby to connect those sounds with you and your partner, that won't make hearing them any less exciting.

You can encourage your baby's attempts at communication by mirroring or imitating his expressions and sounds. He may try to imitate you now, too. Say "baa" and he may try to say it back.

Reacting when your baby makes noises or tries to say something will help your baby learn the importance of language. It'll also help him better understand cause and effect. It's great for his self-esteem, too. He'll begin to realize that what he says makes a difference.

Expand on what your baby says and try to give it meaning. For example, you can say, "Yes, that is a ball!" Soon, his "ba" will become "ball."

Patutlah, minggu sebelum ni, ummi perasan Safiyah sebut "kit" waktu ummi cakap "Safiyah asyik muntah hari ni.. habis badan melekit-lekit". Dan, yang terbaru, Safiyah sebut "ok" waktu ummi tanya pada akhwat, "Anti Ok?"

Ingatkan tak sengaja je safiyah sebut. Rupanya memang tengah belajar bercakap..
Jadi, lepas ni, ummi akan cakap lagi dengan safiyah tau..

Nak ajar sebut Allah!
