The Seven Ages of ChildrenThe question most often asked Greg Rademacher is, "When should I have my child photographed?" He smiles as he give sthe obvious "as often as you can afford to do so" answer.So for the mother who wants to remember forever the expression in her baby's eyes whether he is six months or sixteen years, the best way is to record these precious moments for teh future is as often as possible. There are seven magic ages in the child's development that make a definitive photographic record of the growing years. Using these milestones, your child will have a priceless heirloom to enjoy and hand down in later years. Age No. 1: AT EIGHT MONTHSThe baby is alert and responsive, yet still looks like a baby...cuddly...able to stand...but still dependant.Age No. 2: AT ONE YEARThe permanent feature characteristics begin to show future family likeness... still a baby, but a robust, growing one.Age No. 3: Around the SECOND BIRTHDAYThe language barrier is broken and the child begins to respond to reason, humor, action.Age No. 4: The FOURTH BIRTHDAYIs no doubt one of the cutest, most desirable ages for both sexes. The Child can speak and reason and is beginning to display individuality, a new permanent element of personality.Age No. 5: Sometime during the SEVENTH YEARWhen the snaggelytooth age ends, second teeth change the facial contours, even the expression around the mouth. A growing mind has (by seven) developed into a more mature, inquiring outlook.Age No. 6: As the TWELFTH YearProgresses, we suddenly realize that our child is about to go into the teen age of puberty... a sort of dress rehearsal for adulthood. The child, in a true sense, will soon be supplanted.Age No. 7: The final age of childhood. SIXTEENIf it's a boy, he is suddenly a man... in his interests, his attitudes, his thinking. If it's a girl, it's SWEET SIXTEEN... an age apart from all the others... usually the happiest and gayest age...when she blossoms into womanhood. Still a lot of growing, and learning, and absorbing experience ahead... but never again a child. |
