How Baby Room Décor Can Enhance Mental Growth

Having a baby is one thing, raising it is another altogether. Every parent wants the best for their child and will not let go of any opportunity that will help their child to develop skills in life. There are different approaches in ensuring the growth of a child physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally. One such way of ensuring this growth is through the use of colours to enhance baby’s vision. The first colours that a baby sees and his reaction to them provide parents with tips on creating an environment that will aid the child’s mental growth.

Babies are known to be like sponges, they absorb everything around them that is why most parents wish to take advantage of the initial stages of baby development to create an environment that is both stimulating and encouraging for positive growth. Babyroom décor is one such way that parents use to enhance positive growth in a child and there are tips to follow in order to ensure a perfect environment for baby’s development.

1. Colour Scheme

Parents are encouraged to choose a colour scheme that is both engaging and welcoming. Pink is the preferred colour for baby girls while parents with baby boys will go for blue or other solid colours that depict boldness. These colours should be mixed with other concepts like bright stripes and polka dots that will be easily noticed by the baby.

2. Take time on the ceiling

Babies spend most of their waking hours lying on their backs meaning all they ever see is the ceiling. Take time to decorate the ceiling in bright colours that the baby can see and place other objects like dangling play objects just over the crib within his sight. This will help kill the boredom of looking at a blank ceiling all the time and in the process the baby’s mind will start to notice the difference between the blank ceiling and the dangling objects before him.

3. Invest in books

Apart from the colours and toys above the crib, invest in a small library of baby books arranged neatly in a small bookshelf and definitely within the baby’s eyesight. Even though the baby won’t know them by name, his little mind will notice that there are different objects in the room. You can also begin reading stories to your baby occasionally as this helps in stimulating his senses and will also help him learn to read when he is older.

4. Play Music

Music is a good relaxant not only to adults but to babies too. Though mothers love to sing to their babies, sometimes it helps to play some soft music from a stereo or from toys that have music gadgets. This helps to catch the baby’s attention and at the same time exposing him to new things.

Safety Tips When Visiting Bali

Bali is arguably the most visited Singaporean district and has always been a great tourist attraction.Surfers especially,continue being attracted in droves due to the wide choice of surf spots and beaches plus the widely ranging waves.Therefore,you will find that the majority of tourists who arrive on the island are interested in surfing,swimming or body boarding.However,there are some perils that every visitor has to watch out against in order to get the most enjoyment out of their visit and have a pleasurable experience to write home about.

Some of the precautions I would recommend as you proceed to your Bali holiday include:

Watch Out For Red Flags

When you go out for a swim,check whether there are any flags erected on the beach.If there is no flag in sight,then that means the beach is safe.On rare occasions, you will find a flag with yellow and red markings.That is a good sign that shows the presence of trained lifeguards in the area who will watch out for any dangers and come to the assistance of anyone in trouble.However,if you see a red flag, please do not attempt to swim in the area.Some of the beaches in Bali are known for their strong waves,rip tides and dangerous undertows.

Tsunami Alerts

Almost all Bali villas,hotels,inns,and other accommodation facilities will have information translated in various languages to warn and educate visitors about tsunamis.Though they occur rarely,tsunamis are very dangerous and highly unpredictable.Bali is especially susceptible to tsunamis due to the frequent earthquakes in subduction zones that are very close to the sea shore.

Most of the beaches popular with tourists are located in low areas and this makes it very easy for them to get covered by huge destructive waves of water if a tsunami occurs.In view of this, most of the Bali villas and hotels are tsunami-ready and regularly practice evacuations.As a precaution, it is advisable that you seek accommodation that is at least two miles inland and a hundred feet above sea level.

Guard Against Sunburns

Being close to the equator,Bali receives more Ultra-Violet rays from the sun compared to the US and Europe.Therefore,your holiday supplies should include a very generous amount of high SPF (not less than 40 SPF) sunscreen to guard your skin against the harmful effects of UV rays.Remember,being a tropical region, it does not matter what time of the year you visit Bali.The UV factor varies very little from one period to another,it will always be high.You may have additional protection by investing in some UV-resistant clothes.For those with extra-sensitive skin or if you do not get high-SPF sunscreen,ensure that you do not spend too much time in the sun.
