We at Bright Side wish for you to stay safe and healthy and found some tips that can save your life in case of an emergency.
1. How to survive a car hanging off a cliff
Don’t make any fast movements unless your car is already rolling off the cliff. It’s better to take a deep breath and plan the escape. Move slowly to keep the car balanced. If there are several people in the car, you need to escape from opposite sides. Keep your foot on the brakes if you came to a rest with your foot on the brake pedal. At this moment, your brakes might be the only thing preventing the car from rolling down.
4. If the front of your car is hanging down, exit through the back part of the car. Slowly recline the back of your seat. Find the balance. Now slowly crawl to get to the back seat. Open the back door and escape. 5. Open all the car windows so you get more exits, making it so everyone can escape at the same time. Unlock all the doors. 6. If you have any infants or small children in the car, wait until at least one adult passenger is out of the car and pass a child to them.

Take off the wet clothes. 8. Do some push-ups to improve blood flow.
3. How to survive a wolf attack
1. Don’t run and act submissive. A wolf’s instincts can trigger them to chase you down if you run away. 2. Don’t make eye contact because a wolf may interpret it as a direct challenge. Keep your head lowered.

6. How to survive a fast river current
1. Swim diagonally toward the shoreline. Do not try to swim straight toward the shore. It will take too much energy. Choose to swim at a 45° angle. 2. Do not try to swim upstream. 3. Float down on your back with your feet pointed downstream. Your head should be positioned upstream so it will be protected. Once you reach a calmer area, flip over and swim diagonally toward the shore.

This will cause the anaconda tremendous pain and the anaconda will let you go. 4. Hit the snake with a nearby rock or another object. If you can’t get a hold of the end of a snake’s tail, the best thing to do is battle with it until it releases you. They don’t want a fight but need an easy target.

Like our furry friends, humans also shed their hair. Actually, we do it on a daily basis, with the regular amount of hair we lose being somewhere from 50 to 100 strands per day. It’s absolutely normal and, honestly, not that noticeable since we have more than 100,000 hair follicles on our scalp. But sometimes things go south and you realize that you’re losing more than evolution wisely tried to prescribe.
We at Bright Side believe all of you deserve to keep your hair soft, shiny, and healthy, so we gathered a list of things to avoid on your journey toward this goal.
1. You skip meals.
When you don’t have enough calories, your body redirects all the energy toward essential functions — like your heart and brain, leaving the hair and scalp behind. Dieting can be a shock to your hormones and it often leads to hair thinning and shedding, while new hair doesn’t grow to replace it. In fact, one of the top symptoms of anorexia, and a bunch of other eating disorders, is severe hair loss. What you can do: Eat a healthy diet with plenty of protein and fat. Hair is mostly made of protein (keratin) and it has a tendency to break if you’re not getting enough. Aim for 46 grams per day — or about 10% to 35% of your total calories.
2. You get too much sun.
When you go out, the sun’s UV rays start to eat away at the elasticity and strength of your hair. Prolonged heat and sunlight exposure might dry out the hair and scalp and damage the cuticle and the hair fiber, resulting in brittle hair that can lead to hair loss. Light-colored and fine hair is especially vulnerable to the sun! What you can do: Tuck your hair underneath a hat whenever possible. Try using products with built-in sunscreen. Keep your scalp moist by adding a hair mask to your routine.
3. You wear tight hairstyles.
Sporting braids, buns, or ponytail puts huge and constant tension on the hair follicles near the root. It forces the hair out of the follicle prematurely, which leads to thinning and scarring. In extreme cases, it may result in traction alopecia, a condition that forever weakens the follicle and makes it impossible for hair to grow. What you can do: Loosen up! Wear your hair down when possible, especially while sleeping, since rolling around on a pillow can cause even more breakage. Make sure you use a hair-friendly hair tie or a soft scrunchy. If you feel hair pulling on your skin, it’s way too tight.
4. You don’t wash your hair often enough.
Don’t get too used to skipping a hair-washing. A buildup of dirt, product leftovers, and oil gathering on the scalp can clog hair follicles, which makes it difficult for hair to grow. If left untreated, it often leads to thinning and hair loss. What you can do: Regularly wash your hair — from every couple of days to once per week, depending on your hair type. Switch to a sulfate-free shampoo to prevent dryness.
5. You don’t trim your hair regularly.
As simple as it sounds, getting your hair trimmed every now and then can aid in a healthy growing process and prevent thinning. Regular trims remove dry, brittle, and dead split ends, which otherwise can travel up your hair shaft toward your scalp and cause more strands to drop out. It may sound counterintuitive, but if you want to grow long luxurious hair, get it cut regularly. What you can do: Keep split ends at bay and trim it every 12 weeks.
6. You take hot showers.
Hot water stresses and dehydrates hair strands, the same as it does skin, leaving it dry, brittle, and prone to snap and fall out. Combined with a shampoo that already strips your hair of its protective oils, it forces your scalp’s pores to overwork to keep up with oil production, which can damage the roots and lead to additional shedding. Hot water can also increase the germ and bacteria population on your head. What you can do: Take the temp down, opt for a warm shower, and try to rinse your hair with the coolest temperature possible.
7. You scratch your head.
An itchy feeling on the scalp can be the result of a fungal infection, allergies, or inflammation — all of which is harmful to hair and can potentially result in thinning. But when you start scratching on top of that, you’re damaging your hair follicles, and that can end up in hair loss. What you can do: Switch to a healthier diet, packed with protein and vitamins A, D, and E. Relieve the itch with a scalp massage instead of scratching. Use a shampoo that contains selenium, zinc, and other antifungal properties.
8. You use hot styling tools.
Hot rollers, hairdryers, tongs, and curling and flat irons might be very harsh on your hair. High temperature scorches away the oils and proteins from your hair and its protective cuticle, disrupting moisture balance and causing breakage and thinning. Your hair then becomes dry and lacks strength resulting in strands snapping. What you can do: Limit your use of styling tools to 2-3 times a week, and start with the coolest setting possible. Apply heat-protection products that create a thermal barrier to reduce friction.
9. You play with your hair.
Tugging, pulling, twirling, rubbing, we all do it with our hair. Unfortunately, this fidgeting can contribute to breakage and hair loss over time. By constantly pulling on your strands, you’re weakening the follicles. And your hands, however clean you think they are, still carry sweat, dirt, and oils that add to buildup and its consequences. What you can do: Keep your hands busy with healthier distractions: play with a fidgety toy or clench your fists. At home, you can cover your hair so you won’t be able to touch it.
10. You’re rough with wet hair.
Our strands are at their weakest and the most prone to friction when they’re wet since water slightly raises the protective cuticle. Brushing in the shower, followed by rough towel-rubbing, causes the ideal conditions for snapping it off. It’s no wonder we leave so much hair in the shower. What you can do: Comb your hair before it gets wet with full strokes from the scalp to the tips. Squeeze the water and blot (don’t rub!) it with a soft microfiber towel after the shower.

She appreciates the simplest things in life .

Priscilla Chan, the wife of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and mother of their 2 kids, looks like an ordinary woman at first glance. But just like anyone else, there’s always a lot more to learn about a person below the surface.
We at Bright Side believe that he actually found many good things in her — Priscilla has a bunch of amazing traits and that’s why we decided to learn more about her life.
1. She is smart and educated.
Priscilla grew up in a family of Chinese refugees. They had quite a difficult life, but her parents did everything so that their daughter could get a prestigious education. She graduated from Harvard University with a Bachelor of Arts (AB) in biology and even worked as a teacher, explaining to kids how this world works. Later she decided to become a pediatrician and entered medical school at the University of California. Eventually, she became a wonderful doctor who worked with kids in San Francisco.
2. She is adequate and modest.
Being the girlfriend, and later the wife, of Mark Zuckerberg, she always stayed herself, didn’t step back from her principles, and had her own view on things. The following famous story about expensive shoes says a lot about Priscilla’s character. Once Priscilla and Mark’s sister Randi Zuckerberg saw an expensive pair of shoes in a shop — they cost $600. But instead of buying them, she decisively refused this purchase — not because she could not afford it. “You should get them, you have the money,” Randi kept insisting. “It’s not my money,” Chan replied confidently and put the shoes back. Priscilla married Mark 9 years after they first met. Just like their whole life, their wedding was very modest — they tried not to draw unnecessary attention to themselves. Still, there was one thing that was really important for the bride and it was her dress. It didn’t cost much compared to Hollywood standards — $ 4,700, it was not exclusive (it could be bought online) and it was created by Claire Pettibone, a designer from Los Angeles.
3. She and her husband have similar views and a similar sense of humor.
The couple met each other while standing in line to use the bathroom. When Priscilla first saw Mark, she thought, “He was this nerdy guy who was just a little bit out there.” At the time, Mark thought he was going to leave school and told Priscilla that they needed to go on a date as soon as possible. He didn’t end up leaving the school at the time, but they did start dating. When Priscilla and Mark started to date, she set a condition for him. He had to give her no less than 100 minutes of his time a week and invite her out for at least one date. She has always been supportive of Mark in all his endeavors and she has always believed in him. Even at the very beginning, when he didn’t know whether his new social network would become successful or not, she was one of the first users who registered on it.
4. She does charity.
The huge donations that the Zuckerberg family makes regularly have a lot to do with Priscilla as well. The money is intended for schools, hospitals, and research centers that develop strategies to combat dangerous diseases. For example, they donated $75 million for equipment, technology, and building construction of a general hospital and trauma center in San Francisco where Priscilla worked as a doctor. As a token of gratitude, the center now bears the name, Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. After the birth of their first child, the family surprised the world with a declaration in which they promised to give 99% of their shares to charity.
5. She makes Facebook more humane.
Priscilla is known the “First Lady of Facebook,” and of course, she takes part in many projects when it comes to its improvement. Many of her ideas are aimed at improving communication between people and encouraging people to help each other. Mark shared that Priscilla told him about little kids who were fading away while waiting for organs necessary to keep them alive, in addition to the kids who were lucky enough to get transplants. Zuckerberg called these happy-ending stories unbelievable.
6. She’s had to go through many things in life.
Priscilla wanted to have kids really badly but the road to her long-awaited pregnancy was not easy. 3 attempts to have a baby ended with miscarriages. When she finally managed to save her pregnancy news until the moment when nothing would threaten it, Mark openly declared that they were expecting a baby. The goal of this announcement was to help people overcome and discuss (if necessary) pregnancy issues and not have to keep silent about their situation. “Most people don’t discuss miscarriages, because you worry your problems will distance you or reflect upon you — as if you’re defective or did something to cause this. So you struggle on your own,” Mark shared.
7. But now she is the happy mother of 2 kids.
Priscilla finally had healthy pregnancies and is now the mother of 2 daughters: a 5-year-old named Max and a 3-year-old named August. The Zuckerberg family adores their daughters but they don’t just love them blindly — they stick to some important child-rearing principles. For example, the girls have small but important household duties. Recently, they learned to put all of their dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
8. She appreciates the simplest things in life.
“We try to stick pretty close to what our goals are and what we believe, and what we enjoy doing in life— just simple things,” Priscilla shared.

brightside--2020-12-11--18 Animals That Look Like They Are From Another Planet

Some animals are incredibly lucky to be born with an appearance that distinguishes them from their own relatives .
Like , for example , Salt and Pepper crocodiles with albinism and melanism .
But there are animals with an unusual and striking appearance , who are the typical representatives of their species .
It ’ s just that we rarely see them , and so , they seem unusual to us .
1 .
“ I saw an albino deer on my way to work.
” 2 .
Salt and Pepper are crocodiles with albinism and melanism .
The difference @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
3 .
This pair of blue-footed boobies was caught in the Galapagos Islands during a courtship ritual .

“ Have you ever seen an albino spider ?

He is about an inch or 2 wide.
” 8 .
“ You look out the window and see him .
What do you do ?
” 9 .
“ I wonder whether I gain superpowers if he bites me.
” 11 .
This bird is a quetzal .
It ’ s listed in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are cutting down tropical forests , and this is their only habitat .
So it ’ s worth considering additional security measures .
13 .
Perhaps , the antelope hare is the most charming little-eared creature in the world .

Some animals are incredibly lucky to be born with an appearance that distinguishes them from their own relatives. Like, for example, Salt and Pepper crocodiles with albinism and melanism. But there are animals with an unusual and striking appearance, who are the typical representatives of their species. It’s just that we rarely see them, and so, they seem unusual to us.
We at Bright Side once again were fortunate enough to enjoy the beauty of nature, and we can’t believe that all these animals really exist.
1. “I saw an albino deer on my way to work.”
2. Salt and Pepper are crocodiles with albinism and melanism. The difference between these photos is exactly one year.
3. This pair of blue-footed boobies was caught in the Galapagos Islands during a courtship ritual.
4. Twinning! Dog and Flemish rabbit style
5. Occasionally, albinos are born among seals. But in reality, they look more redheaded! Although the dark pigment is absent even in their irises.
6. The marabou stork is one of the largest representatives of the stork family. On average, its length is 45-60 inches, and the wingspan is 88-113 inches.
7. “Have you ever seen an albino spider? Found this guy in Brittany (France). He is about an inch or 2 wide.”
8. “You look out the window and see him. What do you do?”
9. “I wonder whether I gain superpowers if he bites me.”
10. This is a flying dragon. This species of lizard lives in Southeast Asia. On the sides of the body, there are wide skin folds that can be spread out in the form of wings. These lizards are capable of covering distances of over 66 feet.
11. This bird is a quetzal. It’s listed in the International Red Book, but people are cutting down tropical forests, and this is their only habitat. So it’s worth considering additional security measures.
12. And this is a Honduran white bat, a species of bats from Central and South America. The length of their body doesn’t exceed 2 inches. During the day, they prefer to rest, and at night, they go out in search of food.
13. Perhaps, the antelope hare is the most charming little-eared creature in the world.
14. Just look at these Silkie chickens!
15. Hoatzins don’t like to fly and prefer to move from branch to branch, using their paws. They’re also known as “stinkbird” as they give out a foul odor.
16. This fur seal is a leucist. Unlike albinism, which only affects melanin, leucism is characterized by a reduction in all types of pigment. These animals have a white outer cover, but their eyes are always dark.
17. The red-lipped batfish is not a very good swimmer. It prefers to walk on the ocean floor using its pectoral fins.
18. This Indian flapshell turtle was found in a pond in Burdwan. Usually, these turtles have barely noticeable yellow spots on their shell, but this one is completely yellow.

My ex-boyfriend presented me with a small, flat box on my birthday. Inside, there was a passport. His passport. That’s it. Just his passport. No tickets for a trip, no promises of a trip once we saved up together. He literally just gifted me his passport. I’m still baffled.
I want to clarify — I accepted the gift out of politeness and didn’t ask about the plans for a trip. We ate dinner, went home, and the whole thing was pretty much forgotten about as far as I can remember. We broke up a few years later. His passport played no role in my life. © katzenmiauen / reddit

You may feel like you want to be timid with a certain person or start hiccupping just before an important meeting. Such situations can happen to anyone and they can bring on a lot of stress. But with some simple tricks, you can help yourself and avoid feeling awkward.
We at Bright Side grew curious about how to avoid some common uncomfortable situations and found 8 tips that can help you.
1. Scratch your ear to stop a tickle in your throat.
A tickling sensation in your throat can seem like a small inconvenience but once it starts, this feeling can be very annoying and keep you from concentrating on other things. If this happens, scratch your ear so that its nerves get stimulated. It helps to cause a muscle spasm that relieves the tickling.
2. Press your tongue against your teeth to prevent an unwanted sneeze.
You may be at a meeting and suddenly feel like you want to sneeze. If you don’t want to draw attention to yourself, use your tongue. Tickle the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 5 to 10 seconds and the urge to sneeze will subside. As another option, you can try pressing your tongue hard against your 2 front teeth.
3. If you don’t feel confident, follow the “3 seconds of eye contact” rule.
Turn your awkwardness into confidence during moments of shyness or nervousness amongst other people. Use your body language. Instead of looking down or away, give everyone in the group at least 3 seconds of eye contact. If someone is explaining something to you, you can give them even more than 3 seconds of eye contact to show that you’re invested in the conversation.

5. Put your thumb in your mouth and blow to stop hiccups.
Another solution you can try involves a bottle of water. Just plug your ears and start drinking water. But be careful not to swallow too much. Another method you can try is to bring your knees to your chest and hug them for 2 minutes. Also, place gentle pressure on each side of the nose while swallowing.
6. Tighten all your muscles if you start to feel anxious just before an important event.
Feeling stressed just before an important event is normal but it can make you absent-minded. Squeeze all the muscles of your face, shoulders, and arms. Сlench your hands into a fist. Now relax. Take a deep breath and now you’re ready to act.
7. Look up and hold your breath to stop your tears.
It’s a helpful tip when you feel sensitive but don’t want people to see your tears, like in a movie theatre, for example. Look up and hold your breath for a couple of seconds. Now slowly exhale. You should feel better.
8. Set 15 minutes to worry in order to beat anxiety.
Managing your worries can be useful to you. There’s no need to become a senseless person but you can set aside a specific time slot for your worries, psychologists say. During each day, carve out 15 minutes for this and make it consistent. Just remember that it’s best not to pick a time right before bed.

However, our daily routine and habits can be pretty cruel to these helpful devices. We at Bright Side have spared no effort in finding super-useful tips to help your smartphones last for years and years.
1. Clean the dust out of your phone’s charging port.
Use a toothpick to gently scrape the inside of the port. Sweep it around the inside of the port to loosen up any dust and then give the phone a little shake to make the dust fall out. Take your time and be as gentle as you can possibly be — you don’t want to damage the port.
2. Don’t use car pads and mats
Non-slip dash mats and pads don’t give you a real guarantee that your phone won’t slide down. There is still a possibility that it will fly away at the next corner you speed through. This kind of situation can severely damage your phone, or worse, it might completely destroy it.
3. Eject water and dust from your speaker
Your phone survived contact with water, but is the sound coming from the speakers muffled? That’s because some water may still be trapped in the actual speakers. The majority of people will use rice to dry their smartphone, but we have a more efficient way of doing this. Download the android app or shortcut for iOS and these will help you eject water from your speaker. They play a special sound that squeezes all the water out. The same thing works with dust, and if you do it regularly you will keep your speakers in wonderful condition for many years to come.

Doing this is easy and it will save your nerves along with your money. Specialists at stores and authorized service centers will diagnose your smartphone and repair any internal or external damage it might have. This probably won’t cost you anything depending on the warranty.
5. Don’t put your phone in your back pocket.
You might forget that you put it there, then sit on it and crush it. It would be a shame to destroy a phone this way.
6. Turn off Bluetooth when not using it.
Bluetooth is a very useful tool, but it can also be dangerous. The recommendation is to turn it off when you’re not using it, and by doing so, you will be blocking all sorts of harmful downloads that might be coming your way.
7. Charge your smartphone before the battery dies completely.
There’s nothing wrong with your phone being at 0% battery, but if it happens a lot, then your phone will serve you for a much shorter time. Every single smartphone has a certain amount of charge cycles. That’s when you charge your phone to 100% and then use it until it is completely drained of battery. If you do this regularly, then your phone’s battery won’t last.
8. Update your software regularly.
These are necessary updates that are used to get rid of some bugs you might encounter, have your smartphone run smoother and faster, and keep its defenses up to date.
9. Do not use the airport’s USB chargers.
There are USB chargers spread around airports, and these airport chargers can indeed be very convenient for us, however they’re not necessarily safe. As you charge your phone, you will be transferring data. This data can also be accessed by hackers using the same ports. When you plug your phone’s cable into a compromised port, it connects your device to an external drive. This can launch a process of third parties downloading your data, video-jacking your media, or even uploading harmful software.
10. Don’t use your phone with a fitness armband.
Heat, water, and salt. Sounds like a recipe, right? A recipe for destruction, maybe. These are 3 factors that will destroy your smartphone if you carry it around in an armband. The lack of air circulation may lead to overheating and your sweat might get even get into the charging port of your smartphone. The sweat’s salt can damage hardware and even cause other problems with your device just as any salt water would.

It’s better to shave the baby’s head to make their hair grow thicker. Kids learn best by the age of 3. These are just a couple of beliefs that parents face when raising a child. Unwanted advice and superstitions come from everywhere, and at some point, you may want to know which of them are true and which are just old wives’ tales.
Here at Bright Side, we decided to look for the scientific debunking of myths that parents all over the world may have heard of or read on the internet, and here are the expert opinions on the most widespread parental beliefs.
Myth 1: Baby teethers are necessary.
Baby speech therapists claim that baby teethers may influence the kids’ speech. Turns out, babies who chew on teethers are not able to recognize the difference between sounds, as the tongue and hearing are very closely connected. Even babies who haven’t started speaking yet use their tongue to help them understand speech, and when the tongue is “busy” with the teether, this ability is temporarily lost.
Myth 2: Kids naturally fall asleep when they’re tired.
Have you ever heard the phrase “second wind?” Like when parents are exhausted but a toddler is wide awake because they have this night splash of energy? Most of us do fall asleep when we are tired but toddlers are the exception. Toddlers who are overtired may develop a giddy mood and start running around in circles. And sometimes, this can escalate — as kids get more tired it will become harder to fall asleep and they will wake up multiple times during the night.
Myth 3: Your child should begin toilet-training no later than 18-24 months of age.
The truth is that there is no mandatory time for when to start. Pediatricians explain that parents may want to speed up this process, as the nappies cost a fortune, but a toddler may not be ready for this yet. According to The American Academy of Family Physicians, potty training should begin between 21 and 36 months and there’s no big benefit if it starts before 27 months of age.
Myth 4: Children aren’t impacted by the TV that plays in the background.
We all do it from time to time. We leave the TV on as background noise when we aren’t really watching. According to studies, if there are young children in the house, it’s better to not do this. Young kids are not able to “multitask” and if the TV is playing in the background, it interrupts their play and distracts them from learning by playing with total concentration. Background TV may slow down the language development for kids under 2, scientists claim. If a kid is over 2 years old, they may just hear things that are not age-appropriate and remember them as a part of their daily speech routine.
Myth 5: Kids need to quickly catch up with learning before age 3, otherwise the opportunity will be lost.
This myth is considered to be the most harmful one, both for kids and their parents. It appeared as a result of an incorrect understanding of the scientific explanation of human brain function and became famous a long time ago. The myth was explained back in 1999 by John T. Bruer in his book. The loss of neural connections after age 3 doesn’t mean that baby will have a lower IQ if they’re not properly trained. It means babies form some stable reactions toward the most impressive events in their lives by age 3, and some of them will leave a stable mark in their brain. The human brain is plastic and a 3-year-milestone has nothing to do with rapid learning.
Myth 6: Fancy toys are vital for good brain development.
Fancy interactive toys are advertised as “educational” and manufacturers claim that they can teach kids how to talk. In reality, these toys “kill” kids’ imaginations. They do everything for the baby and do not stimulate them to do creative activities, psychologists claim. And the best way a toy can promote language development in babies and toddlers is by stimulating the interaction between parent and child.
Myth 7: Baby walkers help babies start walking.
Even if your kid uses them under your sleepless supervision, there’s the potential that it may harm the baby. They can even provoke the strengthening of the wrong muscles in the baby’s legs, and the joints, as well as the knees, may incur additional pressure, so the skeleton might form incorrectly. Because of the risks, baby walkers have been officially prohibited in Canada since 2004.
Myth 8: Shaving your baby’s head will influence their hair to become thicker.
There is no scientific proof of the common belief that shaving a baby’s head can benefit their hair thickness in the future. The hair structure is determined by genetics, and the only time that it changes is after chemotherapy, according to scientists.
Myth 9: Later to bed = Baby sleeps later in the morning
Sleeping in is a dream for many parents. Actually, the thought that babies will sleep later if put to bed later is a common myth. Babies sleep better and longer if they are put to bed early in the evening. Kids have their “internal clock” and they’ll wake up at around the same time as usual, regardless of the late bedtime.
Myth 10: When parents “baby talk” to a kid, it can slow down the baby’s language development.
“Baby Talk” or “infant-directed speech” can actually benefit a kid’s speech and language development. The sing-song voice parents often use when talking to their babies tells kids that the speech is for them and they pay better attention to what the parents are saying. The use of “baby talk” also helps babies differentiate between sounds and words. However, it is important to remember that this is only good for babies and is not recommended for communication with toddlers or older children.
Myth 11: Educational TV programs, apps, and flashcards will teach my child how to talk.
Children learn best when they play and communicate in real life. Psychologists say that TV doesn’t make children dumb, but their language skills cannot be developed by watching TV. The best way to teach your child new vocabulary and language is by interacting with them in the environment they’ve gotten used to.
You can teach them new words or play with them one-on-one. These natural interactions are much more relevant and more likely to create an amazing impression on your child and will help them understand and use the words in other contexts.
Myth 12: Bad parents leave children to play unsupervised.
Parents can actually leave children alone in a safe area (depending on the age of the child and who else is around). The more a parent is involved in playing, the more the child is following their lead, and they don’t learn to entertain themselves and be their own source of fun and amusement. Although it is good for parents to play with their children, the opportunity for child-led play is also key to development. Playing alone may also contribute to developing the kid’s creativity, as they invent their own roles instead of mom suggesting them to try this or that scenario.
Myth 13: There are good and bad designs of baby bottles and nipples.
There’s no secret list of perfect bottle designs that will help every baby go from breast to bottle, or that will always prevent leaking or gas. That’s because every baby is different and they have their own anatomic peculiarities and preferences. Ali Wing, founder and CEO of Giggle, says that some parents complain about the constant leaking from bottles and nipples, but this has more to do with the baby’s style of sucking and the reality of their different mouths. The best option for parents is to buy a few different bottles and nipples and experiment with what fits their baby’s style the best.
Myth 14: Attachment to a nanny is a bad thing you should try to prevent.
You leave your baby with a nanny, and your maternal instincts scream when you see that your baby actually has a bond with their caregiver. It’s true that the baby will see the nanny as one more parent, but attachment to a nanny is a good thing, psychologists claim. Your baby is learning how to establish a bond with other people and to trust others. Moreover, babies who have more people that they trust and feel secure with, have higher self-esteem than those who only have one person around with whom they feel safe.
Myth 15: All baby cries sound the same.
Babies have a whole language of cries when communicating with parents. Cries for being hungry, sleepy, and calling mom to change their diaper will sound different if you listen closely. Psychologists claim that parents will soon notice a pattern. It takes time, but parents really can learn how to decode these cries. According to a survey, parents say that an “owh” sound may mean that the baby’s tired (the o-shape of the mouth mimics yawning), “eh” means “burp me” (tightening chest muscles make this sound), and “neh” means the baby’s hungry.
