Be prepared to react calmly and intelligently to CRAASSHHHHes and POOOOUUUUMMMs and SPLAAAASSHHHHHHes. For example, a child´s craneous can produce incredibly loud noises bumping on the bottom of a table, with no harm for the little beast, and a heart attack for parents.

Beware of the strange syndrome called "sigh spasm" or similar. My second son Javier suffered (or more appropiately, made us suffer) this problem: when he was crying really angry, stopped breathing completely, got an intimidating purple color, falling unconscious, to recover breath and calm immediately, despite our desperate efforts to make him react. The second time we were prepared, with proper advice from the doctors (who explained that this was "normal" and had no consequences).. but the first time was unforgettable.
