Healing 15

Healing 15....you must be wondering the same thing I was when my mom first talked to me about that. What? Well she read some articles about children's psychology I believe and what it basically says is that when a child or baby get scared, gets hurt,,,whatever...to hold them for 15 minutes, or as close to that as possible. That amount of time, apparently seems to allow for the baby to calm down and feel safe again. Since she told me I started doing it...not for every little bump...but say she has been trying to get my attention and then she falls...they cry is pretty desperate so I just set everything aside and hold her...usually reading a book in my lap or singing works for my baby :o) I have seen a difference in the way that she calms down so it is good advice...worth trying! :o)
