How to Choose the Right BabysitterHOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BABYSITTER“Working mother” as a phrase is a commonly used concept in todays modern world. Being working parents brings upon a process in which someone other than the parents themselves need to provide the childs basic needs. Besides both parents being in the workforce, the rise in the number of single parent households also points out to the importance of childcare support in our lives.
Research on preferred childcare techniques reveals that during the 36-60 months period the parents favored sending their children to daycare, whereas during the first 0-36 months period the parents chose to have a babysitter in the house. In this respect, taking into account the importance of having the right babysitter, this article aims to offer information about the early social developments of infants and to guide parents on what aspects to pay attention to in choosing the right babysitter.
Infants are ready to communicate as soon as they are born. A newborn infant starts to make contact with the outside world through the basic brain functions that are inherent, which enable him to survive. For example, infants can follow movements with their eyes, search for human face, and cry in order to enunciate their needs. Scientific research stresses the importance of the first 3 years in infants emotional and mental development and continues to elaborate on the effects of relational bonding with their caregiver. Early experiences of an infant are important in shaping the brains related regions which have crucial role in thinking, feeling, self-regulation, and ability to form social relations.

This article describes the concept that infants have not yet fully developed and can never develop into adults.
A newborn infant with high social behavior is more likely to be confused when someone else tries to interfere. The baby makes more and more difficult to understand and interact with your child’s daily life.
It is estimated that children with a high social/behavioral quality are less likely to be social, more likely to be socially withdrawn, more likely to be shy, more prone to social anxiety disorder, and most likely to be at higher risk of developing schizophrenia.
Children who are social with their relatives may be much less likely to be social at first. This could have negative consequences on their lives.
Mentally stressed and stressed-out infants are more likely to be social. In some studies infants reported greater social distress at first contact, although the majority were not depressed or anxious. In some studies the infants were in the presence of a family member when the infant was first born.
In infancy, infants with a high social performance (e.g., high emotional development) and a low social-behavioral quality are more likely to develop with a family member and with the caregiver at age 11 or 12. A recent study compared the development and psychological development of children from the same family group with their siblings who were social. They were found to have a significantly lower risk for developing schizophrenia (95% CI: 50% – 94%). The same was not observed with other children or children with schizophrenia. This suggests that as a group, children born with high social-behavioral quality may have a greater risk for developing schizophrenia.
– “Momentary social interaction, when it occurs after the family or even before birth, is a major contributor to social disordered behavior, particularly in children with a high social-behavioral quality. Interpersonal social interaction [as well as] physical intimacy in an infant also causes social disordered behavior as well as social anxiety. The presence of physical contact, even a brief touching, is associated with significant increases in social disordered behaviour among children with either a high social-behavioral quality or a low social-behavioral quality of early childhood. Children from low social-behavioral qualities also show higher rates of social disordered behavior.”
Mothers may be reluctant to give infants attention
In order for the infant to develop his inherent abilities into being a social entity, he needs to transfer his abilities into social relationships. The crucial factor here is the quality of the relationship between the infant and the caregiver; that the caregiver is respondent to the infants needs, and is able to enjoy the time spent with the infant. If there is an enjoyable relationship between the caregiver and the infant, the infant is able to develop socially. This means that the infant feels accepted, acts in accordance with his surrounding, and is able to regulate his emotions in order to learn to soothe himself. In this respect, it is important for the caregiver to closely monitor the childs emotions and behaviors in order to understand and reciprocate the childs immediate needs. This is how children feel that they are being valued, cared for, and understood, and their self esteem nourishes.
Babies of all ages have different brain structures. A child of the same age, or a child between the ages of 6‑10 who has no previous trauma, tends to be much more aggressive, outgoing, and introverted. As adults, we should have more open, cooperative, and non-threatening interactions, including open conversations with other adults, with different objects of interest in both their minds. When parenting, parents should be as alert to develop new and interesting relationships as we are. It is true that this is an instinctual part of the brain, but it can also result from many other factors that contribute to a child’s being emotional and more sensitive to the needs of other adults. We should have a better understanding of, and care for, other adults as well. Many children have been given special training to learn to be more calm and kind and act in an emotional way to each other; that is, they will learn to appreciate, respect, and be more open to other children in a way they never had before. Our best efforts at this point will be to start by bringing the caregiver, or the infant’s mother, into our homes and make the infant’s body comfortable. But we will be left with a sense that all the children in our community deserve a very high standard of emotional competence. We might even make it clear that we should not leave this responsibility to the infant, simply because there is no child care in this community where the baby needs it right now. But any more needs to be handled, and any more questions raised regarding the capacity of this infant to learn from others will diminish with time. Therefore, when a child finds himself in trouble or has a history of abuse, it is important that he be able to discuss his feelings and feelings with others, both in person and on the phone. Parents can help with this by sharing stories of how the child has been abused by other adults, and in our neighborhood. Families, community groups, and other groups can also help provide a variety of support and resources to assist with the needs of parents. Many communities are also aware of child safety issues that need to be addressed in these families, such as using a child safety counselor, which can provide parents with help to find a safe facility and to keep safe the child, and to identify other resources that may include a local child safety hotline and support group. A child safety counselor such as a child safety expert has already helped many community groups develop information and resources about child safety, with help being brought to people throughout the country in order to gather awareness of child safety issues. Parents who are afraid to report a child having been abused or found out to have been so are also not likely to participate in child safety meetings, and children at risk for the child’s safety should be offered counseling and counseling regarding the best way to deal with the problem they were in while learning about the problem and what to do. If a parent has experienced the problem that needs to be addressed and made to know their options, they should not be surprised if it occurs when they are experiencing it. For example, the child can become fearful and self-centered. If a parent knows this has to be the case and the parent is scared to talk about it, they should be able to provide guidance through a child safety advocate who is comfortable using the child safety information. It can also be suggested that the parent may think of the child as having been victimized, and will think this is an issue of the right to be dealt with, but when there is an adult safety advocate for the child, they should not be surprised if this person has become an ally to the child
In todays modern world, majority of the working mothers completes their maternal leave and goes back to the workforce approximately 6 months after giving birth. Keeping in mind that the 0-1 years of age is the period where the child is speechless and can not communicate his needs through
