My Boy My Baby

Baby’s Concrete Sight
Being a mother of a baby boy does bring me new sights. I’ve never thought about this amazement before. I just know that baby does follow mommy wherever she goes, includes to the bathroom! Before experiencing by myself, I just heard about this.
Baby will cry and crawl to find you, indeed. This moment actually is not a big deal for me. I even am so thankful; somehow it means that I mean a lot to him and nobody can replace me.
Several days ago, I read a very good article released by parenting.com. The article is about Baby Separation Anxiety. It tells about the anxiety feeling the baby feels whenever they don’t see their momma or daddy (though the common case is the momma!). From this article, I just know why. Children or specifically baby, who have recognized their mommas well, actually don’t know about something abstract. They only know about something real, about something concrete. An explanation on TV last day also told me more about this.
Children under 9 years old actually only know about something concrete. They only think that table is a rectangle- shaped thing that has four legs. They don’t think yet that table is a wooden property made from wood or trees!
This is what actually happens to the babies whenever they cry looking for you. When a baby doesn’t see you, they think that you disappear. They are afraid of losing you! They cannot differentiate whether you will come back or not. You are not seen, you are gone then. Yeah, so now you know the better reason of why you carry them in with you to the bathroom! (lol).
From this all, do you know what I want to say? Yeah, it is actually about our presence!
Do you know that our presence as parents is irreplaceable? Let’s make our sight the same with our babies’. Sometimes parents give children toys, DVDs, gadgets, or even money to “replace” their presence. They think, by getting these things, their absence will be forgiven. However, the fact is actually no! Not at all! By knowing these abstract-concrete sights, we will know that for children, in their pure sights, toys are toys and you are you.
Although when they are bigger they seem happy to get these things, just believe that their need of your presence is not actually gone. It is just hidden.
So, what will I say more? Come home earlier and hug your kiddos more often! J

-Happy momma of a happy baby, Rahma Nugrahaini-

Ory; Si Anak Hebat yang Selalu Tak Percaya Diri

Gambar
  Masih kuingat betul pertemuan pertamaku dengan Ory, saat itu dalam kegiatan debat Bahasa Inggris atau dalam madrasah kami disebut English Debate Club (EDC). Menjelang tahun awal pelajaran memang kusampaikan pada murid lama EDC, “Tolong ajak teman yang bagus Bahasa Inggrisnya untuk bergabung di sini, ya.” Lalu akhirnya, diajaklah Ory ke dalamnya oleh Dyna Syarifa, salah seorang dari muridku yang pernah menjuarai lomba pidato tingkat nasional itu. Pertama kali melihat “yang dibawa” Dyna adalah Ory, jujur aku lumayan terkejut. Karena pesanku sebelumnya, “Tolong ajak teman yang bagus Bahasa Inggrisnya.” Namun yang kudapati saat itu, “yang dibawa” adalah satu anak yang sangat jelas nampak tidak percaya diri dan hanya diam saja sepanjang kegiatan. Masih kuingat betul pula, saat itu tema yang kami bahas adalah tentang ‘Capital Punishment’ atau Hukuman Mati bagi para pejabat yang melakukan korupsi, sebaiknya dilakukan atau tidak. Sebelum anak-anak melakukan debat, seperti biasa, kum...

Assalamualaikum… Ceritanya, saya sedang terinspirasi oleh kebaikan seorang dokter gigi di kota saya ini. Singkat cerita, saya punya gigi yang berlubang sangat besar dan telah saya biarkan selama kurang lebih 15 tahun. Kalau tidak salah, gigi geraham saya ini berlubang sejak saya berumur 8 tahun, yaitu kelas 2 SD.  Sedangkan saya sekarang berumur 23 tahun (Parah ya?). Lubang ini saya biarkan saja, karena tidak sakit. Mungkin karena dulu masih kecil jadi kepedulian terhadap kesehatan gigi belum begitu saya perhatikan. Namun lambat laun, lubang ini semakin membesar. Hingga saya besar, saya katakan gigi ini sudah terlanjur sayang . Mau dicabut saya masih eman , tetapi  jika tidak pun lubangnya sangat besar dan sungguh mengganggu setiap kali saya makan. Berulang kali ke dokter gigi mana pun selalu disarankan untuk mencabut, namun saya tetap bersikeras tidak mau. Saya masih agak trauma, karena dulu pernah gigi geraham saya dicabut oleh seorang dokter gigi sehingga ada ompong d...
