For a working woman, if she is serious about her profession, she needs to leave her baby at home, in most cases with a maid or relative. Even if she reaches office, she is a bit worried about her child. The same is the case with a baby, who is most happy in the presence of their mother. He might also be thinking about his mother the whole day when she is away. He might be a bit sad, too. How can you make him feel your presence even if you are away? Here are a few tips.
When Mother is Not Near
1. You can fix the mother’s photos on the walls frequently seen by the child. When the baby sees his mother’s photo frequently, he feels her presence.
2. If you are hiring a maid to look after your baby, ask her not to change the daily schedule that the baby is familiar with. Ask her to bath and feed at the same time the child is used to. When things are done in a similar manner as his mother did, the baby will feel comfortable.
3. You can call home at breaks, and video chats are more effective. The baby enjoys the moments that he gets, though connected through a virtual world. Seeing his mother and hearing her voice gives him a sense of security.
4. You can record a story or song in your voice and hand it over to the maid. Lullabies can also be recorded in the mother’s voice. Ask your maid to put it on just before he goes to sleep.
5. Kids are naughty and very often they cry and shout without any reason. You can give small gifts and sweets to the maid, and ask her to give it him as the mother’s gift, in case it’s needed.
6. It’s also a good decision to call and have a chat with your kid occasionally while you are at the office.
