Parents should keep closed eyes on your kid’s friends

There were many cases of teenagers who carried Marijuana, and bring drugs to school. Teens sometimes just mislead by their friends of what these banned – drug are for. They not only harm people, but they also destroy their future once they laid their hands on it. Most of these teens are influenced by their peers. They so – called “good” friends.

Parents should keep closed eyes on who their friends are. Constantly try to talk to your kids about what is the best for them, and what kind of people they should get avoid. Otherwise, they might just end up hanging out with a bunch of streetsters, hooligans.

It is okay for them to know some friends from school, or from the neighborhood. But parents should also know what kind of person those people really are. Discourage them to hanging out with those people who don’t want to go to school, or they are dilly – dally. Consider what is the best for your kids future.

Music for babies

Babies can hear sound as early as in the womb. Many mothers choose to use this pregnancy time to play Beethoven or Mozart in hopes they are improving their baby’s IQ and making them a genious, lol. In reality, the little baby inside your stomach will enjoy any music you like because they can feel your happiness. Your adrenaline goes up and you start feeling happy. Baby reciprocates.

When baby is born, you can continue child appropriate songs, but they don’t have to be children songs or even classical. Just make sure there aren’t bad words or ugly metal music and your baby might like it, especially if you sing along and dance to it. You can put on some reggae or even some pop. Babies like music too.

Teen Depression

Dealing with depression can be a challenge parents can help teens deal with depression. There are also teens can do to help themselves.
It is important for parents not deal any more low cards or pressures to their teen. They need to be listened to and understood with a hand of comfort, love and acceptance. It is important that the teen feels validated in their thinking because the feelings they are experiencing are real to them even if they seem trival to an adult or parent. The parents should take the time genuinely listen to their teen without judgement or criticism. This allows the teen to unload their trapped feelings sending them to the jjackpot at the end of the road to recovery. Admitting to or recognizing that they may have depression is rather difficult. Be their as a parent to let them know you are there for support and will help them whenever they are ready. Teens aren’t necessarily looking for someone to give them advice but rather know they have unconditional love and support especially through traumatic or stressful times. Once your teens begins to convey their feelings, let them talk! interrupting or controlling the conversation is not helpful during this stage of depression. Let your teen know the possibility they may be depressed and discuss alternatives for getting the help they need.

Kids love puppies

Recently, our pet dog gave birth to four lovely puppies but one died after three days. It was the smallest one and already weak when it was born. After three weeks, the puppies have grown and they are all over the place.
My one and a half year old daughter is very fond of them. She always like to cuddle the puppies. I would brought her to them in the morning when she wakes up and she would play with them for hours. The interaction between kids and puppies is worth observing because both are babies that barely came out of this world. Their awkward movements are fun to watch and their innocence of the world is almost the same.
Exposing kids to animals is one way of instilling into them that all life on earth is precious and must be taken care of. We are all god’s creature, big or smalll so we are entitled to be respected and be given our space in this magnificent world.

on Tyra Banks: about marriage and children

I was watching Tyra Banks today and was appalled at the beliefs and notions women have toward one another. Tyra had a panel of two type of women. The first group, consisting of four women, all were single (as in unmarried) women who didn’t have any desire to have children. They believed they didn’t need a man to depend on or to give them their self worth. On the othe side were married women with children (or one woman who desperately wanted to be like them) who believed it was a woman’s duty to serve her man and create babies.

I could not believe the things coming out of these women’s mouths! For one, I totally agree that a woman shouldn’t have to find her self worth in a man. That is bogus. I also don’t believe that we are meant to serve a man or are created for the sole purpose of motherhood. I think motherhood is a gift and should be treated as one. Then, I also do not believe motherhood makes you less of an independent or strong woman.

Babies’ Memories Keepsakes

We have lots of unforgettable moments with our babies. They usually grow fast. We as parents wanted to keep those memories. There are lots of ways now since that the technology already evolve at our age. We can create a website for our young. We can input their photos and videos there with our descriptions for each of them. We can also tell our friends for them to check the website. We can design it with different theme that we like. There are now free website host available. If you are the conservative type, you can go for traditional. You can do scrap booking instead. Effort and personal touch should be exerted in this. Just do the recycling of materials and be creative to come up a beautiful baby book of keepsakes. Through all of these we can preserve the memories that we have with our babies or kids when they are young. It’s good to reminisce or be back from the past and longing for those memories.

First Aid Moms should know

This is the important skills that the mothers should know. We’ll never know when accidents happen in our home. First thing is, we should have a first aid kit available. It should be complete and be place in a safe and cannot be reach by children. The members of the family should know how to use it as well. If the child have cuts, just clean the wound with water and soap then, put an antibacterial ointment. This is for minor cuts. But if it’s a major one bring the child to the doctor or hospital. For small burn, clean it in running water. If the child or babies fall from the bed or chair, check their head if there have bumps. If there is, put a cold compress. Observe the child if there’s a change in their behavior. If there is, consult your doctor for it. These were just simple remedy. But precautions should always observe to avoid injuries and accidents.

Candy making party

Here is a really neat idea to do with your kids and either their friends or your siblings children if they are about the same age.
First off buy some almond bark. You can use either chocolate, or butterscotch, or even vanilla.
Then have each child bring a cup of their favorite snack or candy. It could be M & Ms, mini marshmellows, fruit snacks, cheerios or fruit loops, skittles, Smarties. Whatever they like.
Place the snack in a small bowl. Melt the almond bark in a bowl according to the directions on the package. Then drizzle some almond bark over the candy, and mix to coat it well. When all the snack has been coated, transfer the chocolate coated candy to a piece of foil or wax paper to cool and set.
When it is cool and set the children can enjoy their creations. It is often fun to have them name the candy they made as well. For an extension you could have them design the label or wrapper of the candy.
