Snarky, but Correct, Guide on How to Care for Children

Snide Guide on Caring for Children. Anonymous, v2.0 beta Licensed: (CreativeCommons) A-SA-NC

NOTE: this document is now hosted at medium.com and may not be up-to-date. It is aimed at new parents, young parents, and those thinking about becoming parents, adopted or not. The foregoing assumes a non-American Indian (or Asiatic), non-Aryan ancestry. Also, this material is not well-ordered with regard to developmental stages, but I think the material is important enough to send out and you'll figure out what's relevant and when. Feel free to help organize or email your suggestions. If nothing else, there are two main takeaways: infant body map and the dietary guidelines.

Five developmental stages used for this document: pre-natal, infant, toddler, adolescent, and teenager (or “post-pubescent”). The transition between infancy and toddler is denoted by locomotion, between toddler and adolescent is language acquisition, and between adolescent and teenager is puberty. So, yes, I am defining “adolescent” differently than some sources.

I know there's an unhealthy alliance between parents and the medical establishment regarding their guilty secrets of child-rearing, but this document isn't going to try to hide ignorance under false authority. In just a few pages, we're going to demolish shelves full of parenting books.

Pre-natal care: No alcohol, no meds, no heavy exercise or exertion for prolonged periods. Bumpy roads can be an issue in late-term unless you develop special awareness. Learn to write when stressed if you don’t have a partner to talk to. There are various postures (similar to yoga), that can give you and the infant some freedom. Learn exercising with awareness. That means movement while maintaining body-awareness. Then experiment: you will know. Taking nature walks and listening to nature can be very therapeutic. Follow the dietary guidelines below for children, you’ll feel much better too. It’s (generally) your blood going to the infant, remember (unless you’re enlightened and channeling it away from the womb), so If you think you need meds, contact me.

First moments: The individuality of your baby begins with the first breath. The doctor may slap the bottom of the child to initiate this process. Unlike any other time, slapping is normal and good to ensure s/he doesn’t asphyxiate. Your baby just came from the comfort and warmth of the womb to the temperature of your room. Once the cord is cut, whoever comforts it first will get the deepest imprinting. The best way is to connect with the infant is your own body heat, father or mother. Otherwise, here their first lesson in life will be either to trust you and the world they’re in or become independent, a major personality border..

Disabilities: Practically all birth defects have known holistic preventions or cures now. Be careful before accepting a doctor’s diagnosis. There are no cures that allow medications, so get in contact before accepting any such interventions. Disfigurement is caused by failures in pre-natal care. There’s not much you can do afterward. Surgery might be the best option. First Feedings: The navel has been your infant’s introduction to food and that connection should retract and become a proto-stomach or perhaps the beginning of the intestines. That also means, mother’s milk only, if you can, otherwise hemp milk. Cow’s milk will probably produce weird “superbabies”. Goat milk might be preferable if you don’t want to follow my advice.

Infant Body-Map: Develop your infant's self-awareness. This is probably one of the most powerful suggestions in this document. It will give them major help with digestion and ego-development. Stroke, gently, every surface of their body (fingers and toes, too) so that their mind can form an internal body-map. Do it when they're calm and at the earliest stage in which you know they are strong (or you are aware) enough to handle the movements necessary to do so, but no earlier than the first moments they start to make movements on their own and their eyes are open enough to watch you. If you’ve already started potty training, it’ll have to wait until they can correct things after puberty. (Just so there's no confusion: don't touch the sphincter -- they need to know what's NOT them, so their body can know where to eliminate.) You've taken it for granted, but they don't have much knowledge of where they end and the world-at-large begins. This will help them enormously in establishing sensory-motor control and a healthy sense of self.

SIDS: Caused by low-level depression, generally due to diet, but can also be because you aren’t creating the bond they need to feel loved in the world. Children are MADE out of love and will give back more than any of the adults you know, so make the investment,

Sleeping arrangements: Keep infants close to you in their own crib, so they know that you're at hand. If you are exceedingly aware when you sleep, and train yourself, they can sleep with you and be of mutual support (just like other animals do, remember); but, unless you are acutely sensitive to the dangers of absent mindedness, they should probably have a separate crib. Obviously this is only good if you and your spouse don't fight a lot, but then you probably should change your lifestyle so that you can have a supportive home. Eventually, they’ll have a natural inclination to have their own space.

Distress: See a child in distress? Well, don’t just stand there and philosophize because it’s someone else’s child. No, these are your future. Squat or kneel down, take their hand, and ask “What’s wrong, little friend?”

Crying: Hunger, digestion, temperature, isolation, or clothing (or similar such irritation) will be the issue, unless you’ve fed them drugs. Reject “Dr.” Spock. Never let your child cry themselves to death. If you already have, then they’ve probably already gotten imprisoned by your system of power (fortunately you’re benevolent, but when they get to be teenagers….). Hunger is easy to solve, for infants mother’s milk or hemp milk is often the best, sometimes cold water, see Diet. For digestion, rocking the baby, palpating their abdominals gently and also holding the infant with different stress points (buttocks, shoulders, neck/head, side-to-side, up and down -- these can move problems through their digestive tract, also moving and squeezing individual legs and arms will help them get full blood circulation, assisting both digestion and their immune system). Temperature also easy to solve. Watching their body language will help you know exactly what the problem is Babies are often barraged by things that adults have accommodated, but children haven’t learned. Holding and cooing is the solution for isolation: your voice giving them attention and stroking their face, hands, and toes, lets them know that you haven’t left them in the void. Give them nice warm baths. Take them to any noise sources, so their eyes can catalog what might be irritating them, but it could also just simply be too loud. Baby’s are not cryptic. Also, direct skin contact shouldn’t be underestimated for calming. You’ve worn clothes most of your life, they haven’t and clothing is a type of isolation. Infant children’s skin is extremely sensitive, and clothing or other things hitting their skin are things to look out for as they form points of irritation (see Clothing). Oh, and you might be feeding them too bland a diet. This is another kind of isolation and one not easy to figure out, because they don’t even know. Don’t be afraid to use savory and exotic spices to make their meals novel.

Bathing: For infants, don’t use your bathtub, it’s prone to accidents that can be catastrophic. Get a dish tub/basin that fits in your kitchen sink.

Carrying: Have the mindset of a gorilla. Get a sling to hold your baby, so you'll have the peace of mind to get things done -- not the complicated 5x wrap around, but the simple bag-type, over-the-head-and-one-shoulder sling, like you’re sowing grain. Soft, natural fibers should cocoon the baby securely. And it's easy for breast-feeding. Being hands-free will help your stress-level enormously if you’re in the daily routine and keep your connection strong.

Clothing: soft, all-natural fibers only, organic if you can afford it. You can try those oo-so-soft synthetics, but they seem to carry trace residues of machine grease to me. Better wash them at least, but I'd avoid them completely. Some textiles can be extremely aggravating to their acutely sensitive skin which is why you should just swaddle them in natural fibers until they get strong enough to signal that their clothes are bothering them. Wool, by the way, should not be a problem. The discomfort of this natural fiber is caused by complex issues of belief systems and the relationship of humanity to their own Biblical storyline.

Sing together, yes. Dancing, yes. Playing games outside, yes. Sitting them alone on the living room floor in front of plastic toys with blinking lights and clicky things: no. Go out into nature, there are an endless number of exciting things there for children. Let them take off their shoes and splash in shallow streams. Listen for birds and try to find them in the trees. Chase after butterflys, hop and balance on old logs, skip stones, climb trees, or simply hike for some exercise. But if it’s cold outside, obviously you know that hats (over ears), mittens, boots, and heavy coats are the solution. Second-hand stores are a good source. Otherwise you might have to settle for indoor playgrounds.

Potty training? Porcelain bowls filled with fresh water flushed down miles of dedicated poo tunnels to be dumped into rivers or fed back into your drinking water: bizarre (monstrous, really); going outside, digging a hole: simple, natural and gives back to the earth. Think on that. (Cats are clearly smarter than humans.)

Things in mouth: This is an interesting bit of knowledge. You may notice your child eating grass or flowers if you haven't followed the raw diet guidelines below subconsciously searching for some nutrient. OTOH, if you've overused power against them (by taking things away), you might find them biting on mad-made things in their mouth, to get back some power.

Sugar: Since no one in the Establishment understands sugar, here's a specific section. Sugar is not harmful to the body (minus issues with teeth) as long as you listen to your body's signals of being overloaded. Unless you've made a very supportive environment, children probably can't pay attention because their body has started with a confusion of signals sufficient only for basic tasks. You will have to purposely moderate any sugar if you don't want to burn out their circuits.

Teeth: If they’re having teething pains, touch their teeth with your clean hands or teach them to do so. Don't buy the idea that children need to lose their "baby teeth". This is a long-standing confusion that is a by-product of the battles from the Good, the Evil, and the Ignorant. It's complicated to explain, but an absolute Truth: Your teeth can change size. Learn from the animals here. This is a real issue that needs correction. Also, to keep teeth healthy, remove any obvious food stuck on the teeth (like in the valleys of molars) and teach them to habitually swish water between their teeth after eating anything, and use their tongue to remove food particles until their teeth feel clean. Brushing, of course, is the canonical solution, but the market hasn’t produced a product for cleaning teeth after eating (something between a mouthwash and brushing with paste).

Pets: When there’s a weakness in parenting for any reason, a pet is a prescribed. Cats are good when there’s a weakness in mother’s love availability. Dogs are good for females when there’s a weakness in father’s affections.

Getting dressed. Tell them it's time to go through the daily ritual of facing the world with clothes: on. That clothes can keep you warm and protect you at the playground as well tell people who you are. Liberals: skip the gender-neutral theorizing, children are not your psychology experiment. Having clear gender identity is important--it will at minimum help adults who don't know if it's a girl or a boy (because it does matter to the child -- who won't understand the aloofness of reticent adults who are afraid to engage for fear of insult) and create complexes that the child has to deal with.

Plaintiveness: Can't have something they want? If you start with making it about “who’s boss? It will be an endless power struggle. If you haven’t betrayed their trust in your caregiving, you should be able to provide a reason that offers them solace. Formulate a question to ask them (Why do you want a cookie when dinner is almost ready? (Perhaps they don’t like what they smell, for example. Or maybe they actually have adapted to needing a little sugar before your cooked-food meal.) and engage their mind (it doesn’t matter if you already [think] know what their answer is, because THEY get to exercise their mind to think of their answer). If you give children a reason that allows them to be decide with you, you’ve helped them gain power that can be useful for their development and you've shown them that they’re worth your time. Brought your kids to an event made for adults and they're being noisy? Kids, like animals, can express with alarming purity the sum total of forces within the whole of society or planet. Your measly social norms probably include a little distant murder and historical genocide, so... don't expect them to "keep still" and stay quiet. Often what you're "needing" to do might be total bullshit from parents and society to which you just blindly habituated yourself.

Spanking? I know it can get stressful, but, as before, it's because your priorities likely include "serving the dominant paradigm” and theirs doesn't. Slap yourself instead; try it. See if it works. In any case, know that as soon as you've crossed this barrier, you've broken a line of trust that you won't be able to get back for decades.

Daily life: Keep your heart connection when they're with you; don't go off with your friends with your child right there at knee-level totally lost about who they are in the middle of your grown-up, chatty world while their main authority figures (you) zone out with your friends. Keeping your hand on them works or simple attentions. Watch your child's body language to see how they're adapting to the complexities of your world. How they respond will determine whether their introverted or extroverted. You probably shouldn't even bring them into the crazy adult world until they've after they've acclimated slowly to the stress.

Religion: If they want to go, don’t lay your ideologies on them. Believe me, this world is confused. But I’ll tell you, there’s only one thing that separated Mankind (and the mammals) from the reptiles: love. It took a sacrifice to do it, but the story in the Bible is confused. Keep in mind that apart from every religion, there’s a story of a journey of Knowledge that begins there. In any case, maybe you’ll learn something from them. Otherwise, for the atheists you can sing “No one loves me, this I know, for Charles Darwin told me so. Ac-ci-dent-i-ly alive: if you’re weak you won’t survive.” Good for the Conan, the Barbarian, types.

Children fighting each other: Didn't make the revolution to make a better world, so now the revolt has moved into your house. Children fight each other to get power. But who took their power away? Perhaps someone took your power and now you’ve become the slave master. Never withhold healthy snacks or deny them an environment where they can be outside and exercise. But here's what to do, instead of raising the bar of “who can fight and scream the loudest”, stay calm, you are going to officiate by being wiser. Either mediate a reasonable exchange or channel the chaotic physical energy into useful value. You can try having them hold each others wrists, facing each other. You want to avoid real harm. Most battles are surface battles (skinned knees, light bruises, perhaps), but if they’re not aware of their environment, they can hit their head on the corner of your coffee table. Clear the area, and tell them now they can wrestle all that they want, but whoever lets go, loses (no matter if they let go on purpose or from exhaustion). Better to referee and channel the chaotic energy than to push your own into the mix where they'll let it out when you're not looking or onto the walls and other subversive behavior. If you’re not in control of the situation, you have to ask yourself “why?”. Probably because you are already a victim of these same forces from the world at large. Look carefully at this. It is commonplace and an unhealthy situation. You can’t lead if you’re not in control, but yet if you don’t have your own power of wisdom, you will only be a tyrant.

Sickness: Children's bodies haven't been corrupted by your lost civilization. Don't assume their body reactions are their problem or that they're sick -- assume you have done something not in harmony with the perfection in which they were made: like fed them beef-steak or mozzarella sticks or turned them upside-down when they weren't expecting it. For infants, you’ll have to determine whether you want to entrust illness determination by doctors because their bodies are going through enormous strain adapting to your world: body temperature is probably not a sufficient indicator of wellness. Keep in mind their stability in the world will be largely dependent on you. Feed children a raw-food diet (not raw honey though) until they acquire language and cognitive abilities because such mental abilities are the source of their adaptive immune system. (See section on diet.) In absence of that, the earth is one of the best grounding and stabilizing sources. Herbal remedies would be the best first step, but there might not be enough competency in the domain. Make sure they get fresh air and some exercise. Massage their hands and feet -- this will build attention to extremities where the body can find somatic solutions to immune system problems.

Calming vs. Stress: Child minds are very capable, but don't stimulate them with randomness and chaos (baby shakers? ...you lazy turd). Nature is one of the deepest stabilizers and best pacifiers there is. Try walking in the woods next time they go "crazy" on you instead of stuffing a pacifier into their mouth. Also they will feel your stress because your heart is connected with theirs. So if you're busy with some conversation and not relaxed, they might feel uneasy.

Toddlers and Sleep. Don't alienate children at night by normalizing them to being tucked into their own bed and in a separate bedroom while you and your mate disappear into your own. If your children are reluctant to go to bed, they can sleep with you. You presumably wear pajamas and so do they. It’s called snuggling. Perhaps you want to force them to be "individuals", great, but you're doing it in a way that is alienating when you close them off into their own room out of ritual and habit rather than their own will.

Medical Intervention: This is undoubtedly going to be one of the most controversial points in this document, but never allow your child to be punctured with needles or cut open by anyone (apart from disfigurement). The outer body (i.e. the organ of the skin) forms the immune system for each individual`s ego. There are damn good reasons why your body resists being punctured and cut open. Doctors rely on an immense system of correlation and various causative theories for their system, but as soon as you've punctured the dermis, you are beholden to the AMA`s authority (and everything that has gone along with it--the all-seeing-eye, whatever) to maintain your child's immune system. Science doesn't determine health. Do you trust it with your child's life? Also, any non-herbal medications should be shunned (but do not give raw honey). The Earth + Love + Creator + Attentiveness provides everything YOU need to stay healthy, same with your infant. Nothing against the good doctors, but it's all systems of power. The medical establishment excels at setting broken bones and wound-dressing, but that's it as it has never had a proper baseline of health upon which to establish a foundation.

Birthday parties: a time to contemplate with your child. If you've followed the above steps, they've felt like everyday is a special day (if they don’t, seriously consider the love a puppy or kitten will give to make them feel special every day). If you start a habit of throwing birthday parties, then you’ll feel like you have to give one every year and it will start to get artificial. Or perhaps you're getting invited to someone else's "bash". Sit and talk with them what they think about the event and festivities. Was it dumb? Was it strange, alien? Philosophize. Teach your children that the world isn't always right, that toys and clothes don't make you important and perhaps they'll be the ones who will fix what is wrong with the world.

School: Here's where you're going to have to sit your ass down and think about how you're going to utilize a major part of the week and daylight for the next dozen years. Don't assume the standard track is leading somewhere and lapse your attentiveness, but don't neglect the fact that the child is going to have to be able to assimilate to the culture at some point. If you don’t want to be involved in school, consider making a community of homeschooling, administering standardized tests once a year to see if they're on par with the norm. You'll have to pay the testing authority to evaluate them, but it's a small cost to make sure you're not going too "far out" and starting a cult or something. Otherwise, be active in your community and school board so you can believe in your own school system. This is especially true the more you rely on Industrialization.

Learning: The most important: reading, writing, arithmetic, geometry, and nutrition/hygiene. If they have these basic skills they have a strong foundation for everything else. Teach them the letters and their sounds, then words that are common for them. Pictures relating sentences to activities are good. Same with arithmetic. Tell stories so they can develop their imagination with the written text. See the document “Education Reform: the Way Forward”, by Dr. Mark Janssen. For nutrition, see Diet section below.

Diet. This is one of the most critical areas to your infant and child's well-being. It can easily go awry and you won't ever correlate where things went wrong because you probably have an impacted body and a mind with decades of confusion and dysinformation, too.

       First, never give your baby chlorinated water.  Chlorine is probably the most powerful poison (anti-biotic) on the planet, it dissolves the membranes of living tissue rendering it incapable of keeping order anymore.  It's why nothing grows in it and it takes very little to be effective.  People who drink it turn into drones.  Filter and purity.  If nothing else, air it out to allow the chlorine to dissolve out of the liquid.  Also, remember that infant bodies are like a constant buoy at sea as you carry it around.  Beyond trace minerals, the slightest impurity in their system makes for sea-sickness -- they'll get indigestion and their mind will wonder why you're trying to kill them.  And generally, good water (you’ll have to figure out what that is, but aquifer water is generally very good, as is spring and mountain water, sourced high enough not to get contamination) good to intersperse while eating and will lubricate the digestive systems -- just as you drink as you eat.  Unlike milk, water doesn’t demand anything from them.   

     Now, it doesn't matter if you got an all-vegan, yoga-chic architected yurt, the powers of the world-at-large will eventually dominate their cravings.  You're probably going to have to acclimate them to it at some time because you've been too lazy to form a revolution.   I said that before, right?

        I'm going to tell you how it should go, given the best knowledge of the body and the emotional self available on the planet, but the timescales have not been tested in the real world, so let me know how your experiences go, so that this document can converge correctly with the different developmental stages of childhood.  

Mother's milk can be interspersed between everything I'm about to say. But it will probably make them antsy as a sole diet source, unless you're enlightened and living in the forest on raw foods. Mothers have to learn to give and draw attention to their breasts, so they can develop the internal codes to make powerfully good milk.

This section is undergoing a rewrite due to new information about teething (and whether it will start in the womb).

You're looking to accomplish several things in feeding (body and muscle-building bulk, vitamins, and energy. These correspond, roughly, to fats, proteins (amino acids), and sugars.

General tips (STUB: FIXME). Give them a wide-ranging repertoire of gustatory input, so that their body can learn what is available and use them in novel ways to maintain homeostasis. In addition, correlating these taste/scents with names and colors so that their mind can make associations between their body and their world. This will help you in the future. So, Use glass bottles so they can see what they're eating (experimenting with different colored bottles for different foods might make it easier or worse for you), or Prepare their food in front of them. Provide positive life-force via living foods. Nearly all cooked and pasteurized foods provide nothing but dependency on your paradigms (squashes are one known exception), otherwise it's your (and the collective) soul doing the work of digesting cooked foods which is why you shouldn't even think of transitioning them over to it until after language and cognition is established. Insoluble fiber: this will give positive feedback for food as it makes its way through the digestive system. Ground flax, psyllium, ground whole grains (corn,chia/amaranth/quinoa, wheat/oats, rye/barley/rice?), Don’t believe that infant and toddlers need bland foods that are usually purveyed in grocery stores. If you wouldn’t eat it on a daily basis, they probably will get fussy too. Help them learn where savory and exotic flavors spring from, so they can give you better feedback. Salt cravings are symptoms of toxification.. It is not sourced by life, nor helpful to it (remember what I said about chlorine?). Backup and figure out what you did wrong. Do not let them do it. Consider it akin to a parasitic infection to crave salt. Sugar cravings are symptoms of lack of deep and loving connection to Earth or adults. Meat cravings are from needs for yang power and masculine energy. Dairy cravings are substitutes for yin love or feminine energy. Satisfy each "vibrational" level of body need. From low to high, you have fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. If you don’t cook the foods, those proteins stay as highly-assimilable aminos. Consider foods as representing and providing different vibrations: from heavy (fats) to light (sugars), across the full spectrum. Just like the rainbow, you want all the colors. But at infancy, you may want to keep it simple, unless you are very in tune to monitor excesses that might be present in vegetable juices for example. Some of these foods can be overwhelming and too powerful, and might be akin to hitting their stomach with nuclear detonations. So, I’ll give you what should be safe and easy, but you can experiment with veggie juices at infancy if you’re in tune. There’s no reason why they’d cause problems besides what I just mentioned about overloading. For sickness interventions try orange, carrot, and blueberry juices at any stage. These are most powerful, which is why you have to moderate it during early-stage development. For discontent: coconut cream. For detoxifying: kale. Infancy: mother's milk, vanilla hemp milk (GLAs!), nut milks, and coconut cream (organic: no bisulfites, try SoDelicious brand). Toddlers: soaked (raw) sunflower seeds mash with garlic, almond (and other) butters spread on mana™bread, flax-seed meal mixed into your raw almond butter. Vegetable juices spinach, purple cabbage, beet, turmeric, carrot. Watch carefully their body-reaction to these powerful juices, though, and keep doses small, mixing with other items. Adolescent: grapenuts, whole-grain cereals, slow dry-roasted nuts, meaty fruits (peach, mango, blueberries, etc.), unsalted butter, . Technically, meat and other cooked food should go here if you’re living in the old paradigm. At the high end, energy; i.e. sugar. Fresh carrot, orange, and other fruit juices provide plenty of good sugar, never pasteurized, (v1: and no pulp until after solid food introduction). Avoid hurting them (of course). This would seem obvious, but since you're probably not eating the same thing they are, you should taste or smell things you give them so you know the food isn't spoiled or rancid (oils, like in nuts, are especially important to identify since they show no visible signs of spoilage). Also, acidic foods shouldn't be put in plastic containers.

These items form a powerful base of nutrition and energy and they might start to glow (seriously). When introducing a new food, start with giving them small doses, unless they ask for more. As long as it's healthy (like the above), it doesn't matter how much they want. Yes you can mix these things together, but do so after you give them samples individually. You want their body to have a refined sense of what they need, so that they don't overfeed on stuff they don't need. Remember to follow solid food with the chance to get a drink of water -- just like you do naturally at a meal. This is how the body regulates its ability to process solid food.

Have children eat an orange everyday. This is also good for mothers. An orange is a perfect food and gives your body unerring information about it`s relationship to your world. Cooked food, generally, does the opposite. Honey is an exception, and should not be eaten by children raw.

Yes get a juicer, you'll start to love it despite yourself. You can get apples by the bulk and make apple juice (but for the manual on "How to be an Adult", you'll have to wait). Apple juice doesn't provide much nutrition, but the sweetness is like love to a baby and if it's natural, it is love.

Your ancestor's genes are probably a bit stupid and they really probably don't know what's good for them. Your intuition is probably completely faulty. If you start with known good things, it will train their body until their accumulate a repertoire of things that they can start telling you.

Solid waste elimination: You might fret over issues of this in early childhood, but don't. If you aren't feeding solid foods and aren't over-feeding (less-than-ideal) mother's milk, there is little reason for them to have solid waste. If they have solid waste when they've only had mother's milk, you are overfeeding relative to their level of activity and may be a sign of danger. Go with some coldish, pure water, or fresh, cool, carrot/orange juice. You can start solid food after their teeth have erupted. If you feed solidish foods before then, you will create needs that weren’t there naturally. They should have established regular urination and are sleeping well. When you do start on solids, start with ground chia seed mixed in cooked pumpkin (+cinnamon and sugar) or apple sauce, or some other soft food that requires no chewing. These seeds, when ground, have natural lubrication, Omega-3's, and its small (but obvious) fibrousness will train their system for how to eliminate better (but keep it in a semi-liquid delivery medium, as suggested).

Be sure not to feed things that are too dry where it could cling to their throat nor too mushy if you're training them to eliminate, because they need to be able to discern soft from hard. You're getting their proprioceptors to get trained and if you’ve done the body map they’ll know where to eliminate. Do different combinations of food mixed with chia seed until they eliminate. After that, feeding solid food should be fine, but please go with raw food until they've learned language (but if you're not going to follow this prescription, skip the issue of chia seed training). This is better than slow progression of juice to applesauce to solid food.

Multiple kids: Are you crazy? Was there a population problem? Here's some birth control: a viable fetus only develops if both male and female sides wish it to. That's right. Contrary to convention, life doesn't happen without love, or (otherwise) by your choice to abrogate your power to authorities who just make it happen through the power of the collective will. I'm not going to be able to argue this one, I'm sure, but you should meditate on it. Have sex as you like, if you believe what I'm telling you, you will be fine and won't create babies that you didn't mean to. The only reason you would get pregnant without your control is if you have karma that isn't being serviced by you and your mate. Making children are your ancestor's hope that things have another chance at getting better.

In closing: Children are closer to the heart than you probably are. They came from the purity of the womb where all was right. Watch their movements and listen to their every word. Everything they do is a type of "language". They will enlighten and teach you about what you've forgotten. Your parents might have wanted you to "grow up", but that was for them. Remember the world is rather insane and diseased. Most of what you're acclimated to is the result of mal-adaptation, so don't be afraid to be a child again. Despite all the snarky comments I’ve said, you can do it.

Peace.
