The interesting discovery about newborns
will bring parents new view about newborns.
The thinking and world of newborns are
always interesting issues not only to scientist, but also the general concerns
of parents. By knowing the psychology, emotions and thoughts of babies, mothers
will be more active in taking care of children.
Do newborns dream? What were they thinking
when they look at you?... All of the question will be explained by top
scientists from Delawade University.
When newborns smile, whether they feel funny at something
or not?
This is a debate to psychologists. Some
think that since children were born, they’ve already had the ability to express
4 basic emotions including happiness. The others claim that newborns only learn
how to feel and express different emotions by communicating with people.
Despite that, scientists all agree that newborns don’t understand completely
jokes or find anything funny in your words. However, that won’t decrease the
value of their smiles.
When newborns smile, which is positive,
they must be enjoying themselves. The first smile of a baby which often happens
by the time they reach 3 years old is a sign expressing basic social
communication skills. Newborns choose laughter among sounds to express their
feeling when they and you have fun.
How
to have much of newborn laughter?
How newborns recognize their fathers and mothers?
According to a research carried out by
professors from Delawade University, since newborns in their 3rd
month of life, they have been able to recognize the face of male and female in
a picture. The research also showed that children were interested in a certain
sex. The hate-love choices depend on the sex of people who take care of them
and close to them the most. It doesn’t depend on the father or mother. The
most concerning thing is that newborns love a certain sex more likely to be
based on a process than to be set up by the brain.
Therefore, to gain children’s love, parents
should spend time staying close to them and taking care of them in the first
months of their life.
Do newborns know about names?
Not
until they are 6 months old do they have the ability to recognize the sounds of
your voice.
This must be a question that is in many
parents’ concerns. In fact, until newborns are 5 – 6 months old that they have
clear reactions to their names. Those reflective signs that newborns have
before that (when they’re 2-3 months old) like turning their heads and looking
at the directions from which the sounds of their names come doesn’t mean that
they know their names. At the moment of time, newborns often react to faces and
sounds than the meaning of those things. Not until they are 6 months old do
they have the ability to recognize the sounds of your voice, though; they still
don’t understand the meaning of it.
Do newborns dream?
Moms must have had thought about it for at
least several times when watching their children sleeping. The truth is we
never know the answer of it for sure. Dream studying is always a mysterious
science that is conducted on some volunteers. They tell about their dreams,
answer the question of when, where and how. This is impossible to carry it on
newborns.
That
newborns can dream and spend most of time sleeping in order to develop their
brains through dreams is very possible.
Nonetheless, as we all know, dreams occurs
when people in REM state (Rapid eye movement – a concept referring to the
period of time that the eyes move rapidly while people sleep) and by that, 50%
of a sleep of the newborn is at REM stage. For that reason, that newborns can
dream and spend most of time sleeping in order to develop their brains through
dreams is very possible. Of course, we can’t know about things that they are
dreaming about. There’s one thing that parents should be glad of is that those
dreams can hardly be nightmares because since then, the fear hasn’t formed in
their brains yet. Only when children are 2-3 years old do they know about
fears.
