Parental Tips to Raise Your Child Right
Parents need to invest quality time in raising children and instill good values in their growing years.

Dr Caspar Addyman said that understanding babies would help them understand adults and as babies are "little scientists" who are discovering the world, researchers can discover a great deal through them.

Addyman said that their research also tries to find out which parent babies find the funniest and the general temperament of a baby.

The researchers are also trying to discover a correlation between laughing babies and a calmer temperament through a different questionnaire.

Initiating dental care at an early age can prevent tooth decay in children and also helps maintain overall oral health throughout life.

Addyman added that ninety per cent of babies have smiled in the first two months and laughed just a few weeks after that, while some babies have laughed unambiguously at just a few weeks old.
