Separation Anxiety Arises when Mom Goes Back to Work
2007-09-04 04:25:00
When a stay-at-home mom reenters the workforce, a child’s reality changes dramatically. Children may experience separation anxiety upon facing a parent’s new schedule. But there is help. There are several things parents can do to make the transition easier for their child: Know that your influence is, and will continue to be, important to your child’s development. Know that children are often sensitive to their parents’ moods. Often, when children are stressing out, they want to near their parents, but when parents are feeling stressed, they want to have some space from their children. If mom’s response is made in a reassuring, unexaggerated and matter-of-fact way when leaving, such as acting like she is going into another room, then her mood won't signal to her child, "Hey! Something big is happening!" Do less talking and more walking. Often, parents drag-out the leaving process, turning it into an event with talking, extra hugging and coming back and forth to see to th...

Parents can Teach Their Children How to Stand up to Peer Pressure
2007-09-04 02:14:00
Peers often have a significant influence on your children. Sometimes this influence can be good and sometimes it can be bad. However, it is important to realize how much influence you, as a parent, can have on your child's life. You can help your kids learn to recognize the wrong kind of pressure and teach them what to do about it by: Spending time together - Recent studies indicate that children who feel close to their parents are less likely to be negatively influenced by others. Using opportunities to teach your children - Some of the time you spend with your children should be used to discuss problems and concerns they might face. These discussions give you an opportunity to offer advice and reinforce your family's morals and values. Listening carefully to what your children say - Talk with them instead of at them. Monitoring what your children are doing - Keep track of them, watch over them and have them check in and report where they are, who they're with and what they're ...

A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mount ain Softly blows o’er Lullaby Bay; It fills the sails of boats that are waiting, Waiting to sail your worries away. It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain And your boat waits down by the quay; The winds of night so softly are sighing, Soon they will fly your worries to sea.

A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain Softly blows across Lullaby Bay; It fills the sails of boats that are waiting, Waiting to sail your worries away.

Preparing Your Toddler for School
2007-08-28 04:21:00
By: Sara J There are inevitabilities when it comes to being a parent, and one is sending your child off to school for the very first time. For many kids, their first experience with school is actually play-school, where the structure is relaxed and most of the learning centers on how to share with others.When it’s time to enter first grade, many children feel a little wary about the prospect of being away from home for so long each day. They also wonder about the teacher, the classroom and what will be expected of them. There are a few things a parent can do to help ease the transition from being a part-time pre-school attendee into being a full-time first grader.Many elementary schools have programs in the spring that allow for families of future first graders to visit. These are typically informal sessions that are often held during the day, although many schools recognize the convenience of an evening session, and will accommodate this too. The prospective student and their par...

Your Child’s First Day Of School
2007-08-28 03:26:00
By: Sara JFor many children, the first day of school can be traumatic. The first time away from mom and seeing new people they have never seen before. The surroundings are unfamiliar and there is a lot of confusion. This can be scary for adults much less a five year old. You need to do some things to make the first day and a few days after that comfortable for your little one.Usually at the time of registration, you can walk your child through the school and show them the classroom. Some school systems require the kindergarten teachers to be there to meet the children for the first time. The child can look around the room and see what it has to offer them. This is the first step in introducing your child to something new. You can show them the bathrooms, which can be overwhelming in another way, they are big and hollow sounding.Now that that is over, you can start shopping for a few school supplies. Always let your child help with this shopping. If they pick things that are needed a...

Fleas: Unwelcome Guests For Your Pets
2007-08-27 01:43:00
By: Nicholas HuntOur pets can bring many great things into our lives: fun, loyalty, affection, companionship and much more. Unfortunately, one other thing they can bring in with them is the less pleasant companion of fleas. No matter how well you care for your pet and how clean you keep it, a chance encounter with another infested animal can lead to your own animal becoming host to some very unwelcome visitors.Once established on your pet, then the fleas will quickly begin the process of reproducing, and laying eggs that might not necessarily stay within the fur of your pet. In today's warm houses, flea eggs can quite happily develop and hatch within the fibres of our carpets and upholstery, and so it's easy to see how a simple infestation of your pet can lead to extremely undesirable consequences for the cleanliness of your home.There's no need to worry though about animal fleas jumping onto humans and infesting them, as the species involved are quite different. While, say, a ca...

Puss In Boots

Once upon a time . . . a miller died leaving the mill to his eldest son, his donkey to his second son and . . . a cat to his youngest son. "Now that's some difference!" you might say; but there you are, that's how the miller was! The eldest son kept the mill, the second son took the donkey and set off in search of his fortune . . . while the third sat down on a stone and sighed, "A cat! What am I going to do with that?" But the cat heard his words and said, "Don't worry, Master. What do you think? That I'm worth less than a half-ruined mill or a mangy donkey? Give me a cloak, a hat with a feather in it, a bag and a pair of boots, and you will see what I can do." The young man, by no means surprised, for it was quite common for cats to talk in those days, gave the cat what he asked for, and as he strode away, confident and cheerful. the cat said. "Don't look so glum, Master. See you soon!" Swift of foot as he was, the cat caught a fat wild rabbit, popped it into his bag, knocked...

"Ensure a Good Relationship Between Your Cat and Your Kids"
2007-08-20 02:10:00
By: NS KennedyMany parents know that the best way for children to learn compassion and the importance of keeping commitments is by helping to care for a pet. Children learn from watching the adults in their lives. If a child can learn to treat an animal with respect they can take that lesson into later life. A cat can be a marvellous, loving companion for a child, but it is up to the adults in the family to ensure the cat and the kids live together happily ever after.When you first bring a cat home, explain to your child that they will need to be patient, quiet and gentle to help the cat feel safe. Sit on the floor with your child and help him practice patience as the cat gets up the courage to come close. Let your child feed the cat a piece of food from his hand. If the cat is reluctant to come close, have your child gently toss a piece of food close to the cat. Once the cat realizes what your child is offering, the ice will melt.Very young children can easily overwhelm a cat or ki...

CLUTTER IS NATURAL
2007-08-19 22:22:00
By Stephanie RobertsNatur e loves clutter. Just think of all the stuff that drops from trees, washes in on the tide, or is blown by the wind into your backyard. Birds molt, animals shed, snakes slither out of their skin, and they all just leave it lying there to rot into the earth. Follow any two-year-old around for a day and you'll see that we're not much better.Living in clutter does not mean that you are a slob or an undisciplined failure. It means that you are human, and your origins are showing. Way, way back in the farthest branches of your family tree, your ancient ancestors lived a somewhat more hand-to-mouth existence than we do. Stocking up was a smart thing to do when the antelope might not roam your way again for a while, and surviving a cold winter depended on how big a stash of firewood and dried berries you had in the back of the cave.The urge to acquire is instinctive and completely normal. But the kinds of circumstances that could lead primitive man to use up the p...

A Nutritious Breakfast Gives Kids Fuel for the Brain
2007-08-17 04:03:00
Many parents wonder why not eating breakfast is such a problem, especially if their children eat a mid-morning snack instead. The reason is simple. Children who do not eat breakfast do not consume the necessary nutrients for their bodies to produce the energy needed to concentrate in school and to adequately complete learning responsibilities.School PerformanceA study conducted by the State of Minnesota on the correlation between breakfast and performance in school shows that “children who eat breakfast before going to school perform better in math and reading, increase their attention span and improve their overall behavior.”Brea kfast affects a child’s overall performance during school by:* Providing energy needed to start the day.* Eliminating hunger symptoms such as headache, fatigue, sleepiness and restlessness.* Helping them to think faster when doing school work and respond more clearly to teacher questions.* Increasing mental performance.* Making them less likely to be ...
