| From the moment of conception, your precious bundle of joy already starts unfolding its potential of becomming a human being. Interesting to know though, is when a baby is born it is not a human being yet, but only a "human becomming". Becoming a human being is only possible through interaction with other humans something that starts with the love and care of mommy and daddy. |

The increase of oxygen will 'instruct' the smooth muscles to relax and support the functions of hearing, seeing, sucking, swallowing, speech, breathing, slow down the heart rate and improve digestion. |

| Toddler's cry because they are not yet able to identify their emotions and they also do not have the words to tell you what is wrong. Toddler's have a need for someone to speak on their behalf and crying is an emotional outlet for them. |
