Let Your Baby Try Eating On Their Own

Now that your baby is growing older, you will be starting her on solid foods. It is important to inculcate good eating habits right from the very start, so that your child maintains these habits as she grows older.

Try and encourage your baby to eat her own food. Put her in her high chair, and place a few items of finger foods in front of her. At first she will probably just play with the food or throw it around. Show her how to put food in her mouth by doing it yourself first, and then holding her hand and guiding it gently.

Having dinner with the whole family is a great thing to encourage from this age, as it has been proven to encourage good eating habits. Put your kid in a high chair near the dinner table so that she can imitate you.

Financial Literacy for a Secure Future

As your child grows, every moment becomes an opportunity to nurture their curiosity about life. Why not introduce them to practical lessons that will shape their future? Concepts like saving, budgeting, and planning aren’t just about money—they’re about building a life of security and stability.

Take life insurance policies, for example. Rather than viewing it as a complex financial product, you can explain it as a promise to protect families and secure dreams. By planting these seeds of knowledge early, you’re giving your child the tools to grow into a confident and responsible adult who understands the value of financial planning. Teaching your child about practical tools like term insurance, such as 1 crore term insurance, can be one of the great lessons. Demonstrating how a term insurance premium calculator works may help your child learn the importance of planning, with explanations adjusted for their age and understanding.
