CRYING BABY - REASONS.

Introduction:

Crying is a normal event in the lives of all babies.When a baby comes out of the woomb the first thing to do is crying.By the first cry he will take some air in to the lungs for the first time in their life.After delivery if the baby doesnot cry then it should be initiated by slightly pinching or gently strocking the feet.From this it is clear that the healthy baby should cry and it is a normal physiological event ,still some times it can upset the mother or family members.

We all know that a baby can't tell his needs or troubles in words. The only way for him to communicate with others is by crying.Babies show some other signs like feet kicking,hand waving and head turning ect.But the best way to take the attention of others is by crying.

Excessive crying may not have a firm definition because the crying habit changes from baby to baby and some babies can be calmed easily but some are difficult to sooth.If crying is distressing for the mother and home nurse it can be called excessive.Many a times baby become quiet by giving breast milk or by carrying with a gentle rocking.Sudden onset of excessive crying means baby is distressed and needs attention.The causes of crying extends from simple reasons to life threatening conditions.Hence crying of a baby should not be ignored.

Lagi, anggota Dewan ditangkap KPK!!

Kejadian terakhir ini sepertinya menandakan bahwa anggota Dewan yang nakal tidak pernah jera dan sangat merusak nama lembaganya. Walaupun tidak sedikit juga anggota Dewan yang memang benar-benar bekerja untuk kepentingan rakyat.

Sepertinya semakin susah saja bagi kita untuk memilih wakil kita, gimana ngak susah? semakin gencar pemberitaan tentang anggota Dewan yang terlibat skandal-skandal yang memalukan. Terus terang saya jadi bingung, sebenernya apa sih kerja mereka?

Rasanya semakin bingung saja ketika saya melihat baliho-baliho caleg yang bertebaran dijalan-jalan, mereka semua tebar pesona. Bahkan ada juga pose caleg yang seperti artis dengan dandanan dan pakaian yang serba wah dan mentereng. Sepertinya saya tidak akan memilih caleg yang seperti itu he..he..

Caleg yang jadi idaman saya sih simpel aja. Orangnya mesti beragama tentunya, bersahaja, murah senyum, amanah, ngak sombong pastinya. Jangan sampe sekarang aja ramah, ntar kalo udah kepilih eh sombongnya minta ampun, he..he..

PR YANG BIKIN BINGUNG

Sudah lebih dari seminggu saya dibuat pusing ama adik-adik SMP kelas 8, pasalnya mereka tuh minta dibantuin nyari artikel tentang "PRANATA EKONOMI VI". Ngak tau kenapa tuh artikel sulit banget didapetnya, kalopun dapet, pasti deh si adik-adik bilang "bukan om, isinya banyak dan panjang" saya pun nyari lagi. entah berapa artikel PDF yang sudah saya download, tapi selalu ditolak ama adik-adik. Bingung jadinya.

Kasihan juga melihat mereka, wajahnya terlihat bener seperti orang kebingungan. Pastilah mereka bingung. Bingung apa? yang pasti mereka mikirin biaya sewa warnet, kalo artikelnya ngak ketemu-ketemu tentu semakin banyak uang yang harus dikeluarkan untuk sewa warnet. Kalopun ketemu pasti deh mereka mikir lagi, berapa biaya buat ngeprint tuh artikel, apalagi kata mereka artikel yang mereka cari tuh panjang dan banyak.

Mungkin sekedar saran buat para guru, sebaiknya anda sebelum memberi tugas anda lebih dahulu mengerjakannya biar tahu berapa total biaya dari tugas yang anda berikan, tentu saja tugas tersebut bukan tugas yang mustahil dilakukan. Bayangkan aja bila kita menggunakan google untuk mencari "Pranata Ekonomi VI" terdapat 9,990 hasil telusur (saat tulisan ini ditulis) memakan waktu sangat banyak untuk memilah hasil penelusuran tersebut. Apalagi adik-adik masih pemula didunia internet. Pernah tuh komputer sampe hank karena tuh adik-adik.

Alangkah baiknya anda sebagai guru menyiapkan bahannya terlebih dahulu yang bisa anda posting kedalam sebuah blog, tentu saja blog yang gratisan seperti blogger. Jadi murid-murid anda tidak panik seperti cerita saya tadi. Lebih hemat waktu, biaya dan ngak bikin pusing para penjaga warnet, he.he.
