There is much to talk when babies are the subject of discussion. Babies come in all shapes sizes and different color. These little mysteries of nature are the object of love for the family they belong to. In all human cultures the baby is precious to the mother and father that gave them life and will take care of them for the years to come.

Having a baby is not all fun and games. It is very hard work. There will be many times in which you question why you had a child and what are you going to do with this child once it they get older. It true that many parents have had to make hard decisions in life in regards to their child. They will have to make the tough choice that might make the child upset, but they will do it out of love. At different points in the life of their child, the parents will see their babies become more and more like them.

Ages 0 through 5
Doctors bring babies into the world and then hand them over to the parents to begin the bonding process. The little baby will see their parents for the first time and they will see those same faces for years to come. There will be many sleepless nights ahead for the parents since little ones do not sleep through the night at first. The parents should take turns getting up with their infant in order to share the responsibility of raising their child. Also, if both parents get up, the child can bond with both parents instead of just one.  As they see the different phases of their earlier years they will see their little baby start crawling, sleeping through the night, walking, talking and also learning to go to the bathroom all on their own. Experiencing all the events for the first time will be a sight to see and to hear.

Ages 6 through 12
When your child begins to go through this phase, they are going to be a lot different than the babies that you saw walk and talk. They will have a personality of their own and test your limits. They will say and do things that you do not like and you will have to teach them that what you say is to protect and teach them. They will be able to carry on a conversation with you and you should talk to them as you would an older person. The baby talk is usually gone at this point and you have to prepare them for what life has in store for them. During these ages, your child will go to school for the first time and start making friends. You can approve or disapprove of the choices they make in friends, but they chose their friends for a reason. How you react to what your child does at these ages will reflect how they treat you in the future. You have to teach them about love, respect and other emotions. If you treat them like a young adult they will trust you and want to tell you the things they are going through. Communication is very important through these ages.

Ages 13 through 18
At one point you called them your babies . Now they are older and they are teenagers. Most parents dread this stage of the development their child is going through because now your child will make decision all on their own. They will decide whether or not to study hard for a test, to pursue a relationship with another person, want to drive, to start working for a living and many other things. You as a parent will have to help guide them through this time because in reality, they are trying to find their selves as people and young adults. They needed attention when they were babies and they will need your attention just as much at this time in their life. They will make some wrong decisions, but when they fall, you should pick them up and help them learn from their mistakes. When your child is ready to go to college, if they decide to go to college, help them figure out what they want to do when they become adults. This time is very vital to the rest of their lives. They will change a lot during this time. Help them find out who they want to be.

It is hard being parents because you never want to see your child grow up and leave home. But they must get out there on their own. Equip them with as many life lessons as you can. Even though they were once babies that you held in your arms, they will grow up to be adults and make you proud.
