Our memory of snowy day

January 11th, 2010 by editor No comments »

The snow this year should be a great threat for a lot of countries all over the world, including a great part of Europe and a lot of cities in China.

I have seen this scene two years ago in 2008 and if earlier in my childhood, it should be in nineteen nineties when I was a teenager. Everywhere was covered by more than ten centimeters snow and everywhere was frozen. It seemed that at that time we were not at all afraid of the coldness of the snow and you know the heating method was old and original compared to the various equipment sold in the supermarket today. My pals and I went to the frozen lake and all of us walked on the ice surface so excited. Unfortunately, some of us including me wet shoes and pants and got a hard beat when went back home. It was painful then but when I recalled those memories now, it was colorful in my childhood and it was worthy of the beating although it was very painful. All of the children were fond of snow ball fight. We would press someone into the snow and hit him with snowball severely.

This year a lot of schools got shut because of the heavy snow weather and a lot of big cities in my counties limit the use of electricity for factories’ production because of the shortage of coal.  

It was a gold period for those kids, playing and enjoying one scene of the nature. I suggest that let your children go out to play and to create some good memories of their own childhood which could be enjoyed a decade or two later in future.

The pictures of memory will never be obtained by money.

Make adequate measures to ensure your children’s warmth and if you are also free, go out with your kids to have a furious snow ball fight.

How to choose baby’s underwear?

January 9th, 2010 by editor No comments »

When I knew that I was going to have a baby, I began to prepare my baby’s underwear and clothes. It was happy time when the shopping bag was full of baby’s kits and tiny clothes. Share some tips with mother to be when choosing baby’s underwear.

1.wide open your eyes

Good brand and with all product instructions. The color of underwear should be light natural color. Avoid of dark or bright color underwear because of chemical dyestuff maybe contained. Most of the baby underwear is made of cotton. So that notice the washing shrinkage and too big size is not good and comfortable.

2.smell with your nose carefully

 If you smell some chemical odor, give it up. Good baby’s underwear smells like light cotton odor and naturally.

3.touch it with your hands

This is the most important step when shopping baby’s underwear. Touch it to find out the softness. You can also touch it with your face. Try to stretch the elastic of the sleeves and pants. If it is not elastic much, give it up. When you get it home, it is best to cut down the washing mark and avoid possibility of needle or sharp decoration.

4.Asking

It is always useful to ask your friends’ advice. The second point is to find some information that other moms share on the internet.

 At last, I want to suggest another advice about washing baby’s underwear. Before putting your baby on the new clothes, it is essential to wash it and use baby’s washing fluid to protect the dedicated skin. Hope to see your share on protecting our babies.

Make your baby concentrate

January 7th, 2010 by editor No comments »

This topic seems a little far from our daily life. However, each parent should be aware of educating your baby from an early age. If you have the awareness of antenatal training before delivery, I believe you should pour more energy to your kids after it. Several tips are to share with all of you. Some of them are from my own practice and some are from the books of toddler’s education.

  1. Create a pure and tidy environment. In my previous passages I referred that stimulation works during the development of baby’s nerve system. It is right here too. A noisy and disordered environment will lead to inattention. When my daughter was two years old, she had already got a lot of toys and dolls. I gave her one or two toys each time and the rest pile was removed to the other room. I can felt her concentration on them.
  2. regular bed time

Set up regular bed time for your kids. Let your children know when to play and when to rest. Plan a regular period to read and for outside sport.

  1. Balanced nutrition

This point is essential in every stage of children development. If the family can offer good diet condition, I think no parents would say no.

  1. Adequate sleep

Enough sleep, good mood, stable emotion and good concentration 

  1. Respect your child pace

Each child has different pace at development. Don’t push your child and make him do what you think he should achieve. Why not to slow down your speed and coordinate with him? More observation and be more patient. If you find obviously his interest, let him play longer time and it is a good time to let your child focus.

Yogurt，best beverage and snacks for your children

January 5th, 2010 by editor No comments »

In one of my previous passages, I mentioned that children prefer those various kinds of soft drinks with a lot of industrial ingredient and additives. But today I recommend just only one kind for both adults and kids. That is just yogurt. The city where I live now is a costal city. People here prefer yogurt to milk and you can find many kinds of package of yogurt in the supermarket. I gradually accept and begin to love this beverage which cannot be found very much in my hometown. Yogurt is delicious and has a lot of benefits that milk cannot provide.

Firstly, help preventing osteoporosis. This function is attributed to the combination of Calcium and Vitamin D, which plays a great role in the bones for every stage of ages.

Secondly, take down the risk of getting high blood pressure. There is a research from the doctor of Harvard University saying that the person who has two to three bags of yogurt has 50% less risk of getting high blood pressure.

Thirdly, promote our immune system.

The fourth good effect is for the women. Yogurt can greatly help the women to be away from gynecological diseases. Yogurt can provide women with acid environment for the salubrious bacteria.

And the fifth benefit is that yogurt can help to control your diet. Choose from the same calorie milk, juice and yogurt, yogurt makes you feel more full.

I list the above reasons just because yogurt is a good choose if you want to buy your children some health snacks or beverage. Or you can also make delicious yogurt by yourself, homemade.

Teenagers’ net addiction

January 3rd, 2010 by editor No comments »

This is another tragedy happened among the teenagers who are addicted to web. The story was happened two weeks ago in the city where I live now. The boy, 17, addicted to website and cared nothing except for surfing on line, playing video games and chatting, killed his father with a steel hammer after the poor father was furious about his son’s behavior and cut off the electric power of the house during his playing net games. The boy’s mother heard the noise and went upstairs to help. However, she was attacked by her son with the hammer, her head cut down with a knife and eyes dug out. For me, it was difficult to figure out how he could do it to his biological parents.

During my time as a teenager and after I got to campus, I met a part of those cases. My cousin, 4 years old than me, was indulged in playing video games without going to school when he was in high school. You can find him only either in web café or in bed of his room. My mom and his parents all had searched him all over the cafes of the town. Each time after caught back, what he faced with was a hard hit from his parents and a period of education besides his ears. However, anther cycle of the scene went on several days later. At that time, maybe 10 years ago, my aunt’s family hated those bosses of the web café severely. They thought that it was those cafes brought the damages to a lot of families like them.

From most of the teenagers’ addiction cases, the parents care less about the children’s private life. They communicate so less and parents cannot really touch the heart of their kids. They don’t really know what the hell the teenagers think. Most of the time, parents have the busiest period in their life when their family needs more home expenditure. They bury their head in their career and leave less and less time about how to getting through their children. I think maybe that leads to the impact coming from the internet for the relationship between parents and teenagers. For those bad parents- children relationship family, it is time to make some time to fix it up. Internet is not our enemy. It is a good tool if we use it good and maybe a terminator if we don’t learn a lesson from ourselves.

Teach your child about money

December 31st, 2009 by editor No comments »

My daughter first know about money when she was two years ago. She knew the red dead presidents meant money and showed her excitement when my relatives gave her for New Year bonus. One month ago, I took her for shopping to buy her a thicker overcoat because the winter seemed getting colder and colder. One of the shopping guides in the store is my acquaintance and I have bought several clothes from her. I asked her how much push money could be obtained from one piece. She replied that 1.5 bucks can be got per 100 bucks. My daughter heard our dialogue and asked me when we were on the way of backing home. “Mom, how many clothes can that aunty sells a day.” “En, maybe two or three pieces a day.” “If the aunty wants to buy my big tank for her child, how many days does she have to work for?” The big tank was her favourite gift and it cost my brother 108 bucks. I had no idea how to give her the number, but I realized that it is essential to teach child about money when he has the awareness of it, nowadays the most absorbing thing for all the people.

I search the website and want to share some of the tips with you.

1. As soon as children can count, introduce them to money.

2. Communicate with children as they grow about your values concerning money

3. Help children learn the differences between needs, wants, and wishes

4. Setting goals is fundamental to learning the value of money and saving

5. Introduce children to the value of saving versus spending.

6. When giving children an allowance, give them the money in denominations that encourage saving.

7. Take children to a credit union or bank to open their own savings accounts

8. Keeping good records of money saved, invested, or spent is another important skill young people must learn.

9. Use regular shopping trips as opportunities to teach children the value of money.

10. Allow kids to make spending decisions.

11. Show children how to evaluate TV, radio, and print ads for products.

12. Alert children to the dangers of borrowing and paying interest.

13. When using a credit card at a restaurant, take the opportunity to teach children about how credit cards work.

14. be cautious about making credit cards available to young people, even when they are entering college.

15. Establish a regular schedule for family discussions about finances. This is especially helpful to younger children–it can be the time when they tote up their savings and receive interest.

This is a process and through the whole money education. Step by step. Hope that parents teach your children the money thing when they are young.

To your child, it’s better to be serious.

December 29th, 2009 by editor No comments »

Yesterday, I got a cute beautiful box with a tiny handle which was used for carrying the jewellery. The box was from my colleague and I took it before throwing it into the dustbin. And I said that my daughter would be sure to like it. There was a pair of models painted on the pink surface and showing their love to each other.

After work, I gave the box to my husband and bought two packages of fruit flavour soft candy. I put them in the box and told to my husband that you gave the box to our child and said it was dad’s gift today. My husband was an architecture and almost two third of his time was outside all over the country. I wanted him to do something to show his concern to my daughter this time coming home without time to prepare a gift.

After getting back, my daughter got rid of the candy in just several minutes. When we were having dinner around the table, my daughter said to us,” We can use the box to hold the crushed chicken bones.” That was right. We had chicken this evening and a box holding the waste temporally after the meal was not bad. But I was a little unhappy to hear that. I asked,” Hey, it is your dad’s gift for you. How could you take it as a dustbin? What a beautiful box it is?” She put down her bowl and came towards to me. “It’s not daddy’s gift. He cheats on me. ” I was a little surprised. “Why do you say that?”

My daughter replied,” It is so obvious that the box and the candy don’t match so well. They are not the same package.” I can saw the face changing of my husband and what should he feel this moment.

Although my daughter is four years old, she knows a lot and has already formed her way of think. She starts to use her head and always question my answers.

For parents like me, we should treat our kids more serious. Don’t take for granted that our kid is always those who we think to be. Tricks may work out one time or twice, but be careful of the third time.

Do you fill your children’s stockings this Christmas?

December 25th, 2009 by editor No comments »

Everybody knows that the 2009 is a doomy year and thousands of families lose jobs and houses and get into plight. The situation of family’s income may not like previous years and gifts for children may not be piled up under the Christmas tree this year any more. Some of children even wrote down on the sheet for Christmas wish that he hope the house is still there the next year and everybody of the family safe and happy. However, most of the parents will try their best to fulfill the children’s wishes even they know the expenditure may be a bit of excessive because they don’t want the children feel the obvious change that the crises bring along. They don’t want to let their children down.

This may sounds a little bit of pity and sorrow. But things act like it always goes. As for parents, they have to try the best to satisfy the children and make this Christmas warm and happy as before.

How much time do you spend on face book?

December 24th, 2009 by editor No comments »

The face book has 350 million users all over the world. Its popularity cannot be caught up by other social network sites nowadays. However, when a lot of teenagers are indulged in the pleasure of contacting and sharing their world, too much time has bee spent and wasted. It is said that people like teenagers using face book everyday just like addiction to drugs and feel uncomfortable if not access to it.

I know that there is also a very much popular thing among the white colors and students in China. That is stealing the vegetables. It is also a vogue when meeting acquaintance and asking him “have you stolen today?”  A lot of people, including most of my colleagues and relatives end their busy day with stealing and start a new day with stealing as well. It seems a new kind of life style.

These social websites, convenient and informative, attracts so many teenagers who desire to show others their special personality. However, a lot of these teenagers spend too much time on it and waste a lot of time that could be on other meaningful stuff. I am glad to hear that there are two teenagers in America firstly start to limit their time on face book and resist it together with other friends. These teenagers make rules about the time spent on fact book and help other peers one by one. It is a good sign for teenagers, who have valuable time on doing a lot of things instead of sitting in front of the computer a great part of the day in the social websites.

For these social websites, proper time on it is ok and for those teenagers there is more interesting things to do. If you find your children indulged in one of these websites, it is good for you to limit your kids’ time and help your kids with the support of other parents whose children have the same addiction.
