Babies: Handle With Care Imagine not knowing how to communicate with others, not being able to walk, and performing simple daily tasks like going to the bathroom. Well, to inform or more remind you that you did know how that felt like, depending on everybody but yourself. I am speaking of the years of your life when we were all referred to as “the most precious life on Earth”. People might consider glassware or china (not the country) to be the most fragile things in life however, hate to break it to them, but they are undoubtedly wrong. If it were true then why do people shed a flood of tears for the death of a baby and just a sigh of grief for a broken piece of their favorite coffee mug? Babies are much more precious and treasured and they cannot survive without proper care and support from others such as their parents and family, and if they are not available, babysitters. The first thing you need to know about how to carefully handle a baby, a fragile new life, is that always keep your sight on them. Do not dare get distracted because one minute, sixty seconds, does matter. For example, when I was about three years old, my mom was always busy juggling work and my baby brother who just started crawling. One day, my brother was crying so my mom picked him up while she was doing laundry. On her hip was my brother and in her hand was the basket full of clothes. She needed to put the clothes in the drawer so she sets my brother on the cabinet near her bed then suddenly the phone rings and she leaves to go grab it, meanwhile my brother sees his toy on the bed and decides to go grab that. He falls off the cabinet, which is much higher than the bed, hits his chin on the headboard and starts bleeding but he reaches his destination, his toy, so he doesn’t give a care about the pain. Mom comes back, not even noticing how he got on the bed, she picks up my brother and her eyes fix on the blood dripping
