Babies understand even from the womb of the mother.
They listen to sounds and are influenced by it.
This has been noticed in Legends and Ithihasas of India.
In Mahabharata, Abhimanu learns of Chakra Vyuha when he was in the womb of his mother Subhadra and his father , after teaching him as to how to enter the Vyuha, leaves the bedside with out teaching how to get out.
Abhimany gets killed later in a War having entered the Vyuha and unable to come out of it.
Researches had indicated that babies could listen to the sounds.
Now it is understood that they can understand the accents of Mother and can distinguish between accents of languages.

Abstract
Aims
To test the hypothesis that exposure to ambient language in the womb alters phonetic perception shortly after birth. This two-country study aimed to see whether neonates demonstrated prenatal learning by how they responded to vowels in a category from their native language and another non-native language, regardless of how much postnatal experience the infants had.
Method
A counterbalanced experiment was conducted in Sweden (n = 40) and the USA (n = 40) using Swedish and English vowel sounds. The neonates (mean postnatal age = 33 h) controlled audio presentation of either native or non-native vowels by sucking on a pacifier, with the number of times they sucked their pacifier being used to demonstrate what vowel sounds attracted their attention. The vowels were either the English/i/or Swedish/y/in the form of a prototype plus 16 variants of the prototype.
Results
The infants in the native and non-native groups responded differently. As predicted, the infants responded to the unfamiliar non-native language with higher mean sucks. They also sucked more to the non-native prototype. Time since birth (range: 7–75 h) did not affect the outcome.
Conclusion
The ambient language to which foetuses are exposed in the womb starts to affect their perception of their native language at a phonetic level. This can be measured shortly after birth by differences in responding to familiar vs. unfamiliar vowels.
One’s belongings like shirts,Chappals,Shoes were every ones.
People used whatever was available.
Cooking was done in the common kitchen and the Firer in the kitchen never got doused till about midnight.
None felt the absence of their parents nor did they feel left out or ignored.
Every one’s needs were met.
Those were the times when emotional cushion was the best.
Some one can be chosen by you to communicate. depending on your need and problems.
Thus an Adolescent can discuss any thing from Drinking to Sex with Uncles and Cousins without fear or reservations.
Now. as the Tamil Humorist Crazy Moan put it. husband and wife living together is joint family!
Views on the infants sleeping with their parents(parents with Infants) are quite hot on the Internet.
The emotional bonding, the physical proximity,and physical touch between the parents and children up to Ten-years has a lot to do with the security feeling of the children in their adolescent and even in adult stages.
The reasons quoted about the inconvenience to parents , to me, looks , childish.
If one wants to have a stable adult, more than any thing, physical proximity is important.
Well there are always exceptions, including the pervert parents who abuse the children.
Keep the children away from them.(this has to be done by the others, like parents of the couple).
(There are some Marwari/Gujarati Families who follow the traditional Joint Family System in India).
Co-Sleeping.
Story:
Based on my own experiences, I’ve created a short list of the top threats that older babies and toddlers pose to their parents in a co-sleeping environment. I’m sure there are millions more, so feel free to add your own dangers in the comment section below. Together, we must create awareness!…
1. The midnight caller. Parents should be warned against bringing any kind of cellular device into bed with them or within a toddler’s reach. Unless, of course, you don’t mind being bludgeoned in the head with your cell phone before dawn.
2. Eye love you, daddy! So much so, that little Johnny is going to take that cute little finger of his and jab it right through your sleepy eyelid! I would imagine this is why God gave us two.
3. The toddler chokehold. They may be little, but they are mighty. Be aware of your little one’s sleeping position at all times. One minute they’re lovingly sleeping in the crook of your arm, and the next, they’re lying sideways across your throat cutting off life sustaining oxygen to your brain.
4. The fish hook. I’m sure that to a toddler, the two black holes in mommy’s nose may seem like a magnificent curiosity, but to a mom, there is nothing curious about being jarred awake by your child trying to dig your brains out through your nostril.
5. The bitch slap. A more common threat to parents worldwide, this danger is more likely to occur during the morning hours. The bitch slap may be a rude awakening to the parent of an impatiently hungry toddler who wants their damn cheerios right now.
encourages breastfeeding by making nighttime breastfeeding more convenient
makes it easier for a nursing mother to get her sleep cycle in sync with her baby’s
helps babies fall asleep more easily, especially during their first few months and when they wake up in the middle of the night
helps babies get more nighttime sleep (because they awaken more frequently with shorter duration of feeds, which can add up to a greater amount of sleep throughout the night)
helps parents who are separated from their babies during the day regain the closeness with their infant that they feel they missed.
Psychologist Thomas Ollendick of Virginia Tech University is currently researching whether co-sleeping is associated with lower rates of nighttime fear.
In the meantime–whether your child sleeps alone or with family members–one thing seems clear. Nighttime fears and separation anxiety should be taken seriously.
Although the kids in the Australian study were selected from the general population (as opposed to a psychiatric practice or sleep clinic), researchers discovered that about 10% of children complaining of nighttime fears fit the criteria for an anxiety disorder.
Other research suggests strong links between anxiety and bad dreams.
A recent study of toddlers and preschoolers reports that 17-month old kids who were rated by their mothers as anxious, difficult, or emotionally disturbed were more likely than other children to have bad dreams at 29 months (Simard et al 2008).
A woman, smoking pot, drove off with a five-year old on the roof of the car.
Why do these people beget children?
It would have been better off remaining single, sleeping with any one they like, it would have been a nice Life for them and a poor child need not have been tortured.
Imagine the child growing up, born of these parents!
“PHOENIX, June 2 (Reuters) – A marijuana-smoking woman was arrested on Saturday in Phoenix after she accidentally drove away with her five-week-old son in a child safety seat on the roof of her vehicle, police said.
The baby fell off the car in the middle of an intersection and was found unharmed and strapped into the seat, said Phoenix police spokesman James Holmes.
The mother Catalina Clouser, 19, was booked into jail on child abuse and aggravated assault charges, he said. The infant was taken to a local hospital as a precaution and is in the custody of state Child Protective Services.
“It appears the suspect put the baby on the roof of the car and drove off, forgetting he was still on the roof,” Holmes said in a written statement.
Police said Clouser and her boyfriend had been smoking marijuana in a park and left with the toddler to buy beer late on Friday night. Officers stopped the car and the boyfriend was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence while driving with the baby in the 2000 Ford Focus.
Police learned that Clouser was so upset about the arrest that she drove to a friend’s home and “admittedly smoked one or two additional bowls of marijuana,” Holmes said.
She left at about midnight with the baby asleep in the car seat, placing the child on top of the vehicle, he said. Clouser apparently did not realize that the baby was missing until she arrived home.
Surprising that The Principal had not noticed it or the others (adults(are there adults in the picture?)!
The photographer should have seen it while shooting or at least while processing.
However, the reactions of the parents in disproportionate.
Refers to:
Child Defaced.
It’s a school picture that makes jaws drop at just one glance.
More than a dozen students in Eileen Diaz’s Second Grade Class at Sawgrass Elementary are grouped together in three neat rows.
Some are smiling, some are not and one doesn’t even appear human.
Right smack in the middle of the photo is a cartoon-like head placed on the shoulders of a boy where his face would be.
People who saw it called it “offensive” and “degrading”. Parent Gabriella Cans, whose son is just a toddler, said she felt sorry for the boy and believes the image is humiliating.
The school’s own principal didn’t even see the picture until she got a copy along with all the other parents who ordered prints on Friday afternoon. Her assistant told me she was also outraged and ordered a new picture be taken this week.
David Claussen and his wife own Broward County Pictures which they say has been in the school picture-taking business for 37 years.
He didn’t want to speak on camera, but off camera said the last thing he ever wanted to do was offend. In fact, he thought it was odd himself.
As he tells it, after the picture was taken a liaison with the Parent Teacher’s Association, that helped organize the photo shoot at the school, notified them that two of the students pictured needed to be removed because their parents did not sign a consent form.
Claussen said he was able to use the photo editing softwareAdobe Photoshop to lift one of the kids out, but had explained to them that there was a problem with the second student. He was sitting in the front row, right in the middle.
He showed me the notes he had written down on a white piece of paper as the pair discussed what to do. He said he would have gladly come out there to reshoot the image. Instead there was talk about putting a star over his face and then, he said, the P.T.A. asked him to place a smiley face.
The Game Show conducted by Actor Surya -Neengalum Vellalaam Oru Kodi’ telecast be STAR Vijay on 6 March 2012 was an exhibition of juvenile , irresponsible behaviour by the participant.
The participant expressed gushingly of her child of about 8 year old who is a crazy fan of Actor Surya and the child is said to have prepared an album of the actor, lives and breathes Surya,and collection of other trivia of the actor .
She is said to have declared that the Actor’s daughter is her sister.
The younger sister of the child seems to have a craze for the actor and some time back she seems to have preferred the actor’s brother actor Kaarthi as her craze and left her elder sister Surya!
The parents are very proud of these achievements of their children!
The father said that he had fulfilled his children’s ambition in Life and exhorted all parents to follow suit in fulfilling their children’s ambitions.
Parents encouraging children is welcome.
But to encourage the child to be mad after an Actor leaves a bad taste.
The child seems to have pestered the father to follow the Actor in his habits as well.
Is this the way a child is brought up in an age where the child knows no difference between fantasy and Reality?
The parents were in tears when the child was hugged by the actor and the father declared that his mission in Life was fulfilled!
No wonder that children brought up thus live in a world of fantasy and lack the ability to have perspective in Life.
Children at an impressionable age parrot what parents say or do.
Bringing up children on a dose of movies and entertainment is no way to nurture a child.
Parenting is all about teaching values, by setting an example.
