The birth of a child is a happy event. Of course, having children brings many challenges and rewards to the parents . After many visits to the gynaecologist he big day arrives. Parents usually rush to the maternity ward often with some relatives coming along to help. The soon-to-be mother goes into labor which can last for a very long time - or go rather quickly.

The fun has just begun! Many parents choose godparents  from among their family or friends. These however, don't usually have to do some of the more difficult tasks. For the first few years changing the diapers an be a challenge - even though the use of pampers as made that task easier. A baby will often cry until the pacifier or bottles firmly in its mouth. One of the most important things to buy is the stroller  which allows parents to continue to go about daily tasks. Soon the child begins to crawl  and , before you know it, the child is walking! After a few years, parents begin to think about school. Before grade school begins, children sometimes first go to preschool  but usually go to kindergarten efore their first day in "real" school.
