Have you ever thought about the children cosmetic?

January 20th, 2010

When I was a kid, I liked to be beautiful and always wore my mom’s cosmetic secretly. But nowadays, I have no much passion and interest in those fancy cosmetics except for some necessary facial everyday. The reason, I don’t know. When I was using those low priced makeup from the small store, I cared nothing about whether those powder or color hurt my skin or lip. I was crazy about the splendid color world when I was a teenager. I believe that most of parents today still use the adult cosmetic on their children’s face or body, especially the color make up. The fact is right now the specially made cosmetic for children has not yet been developed well.

When most of the sales seriously tell us that their products are totally natural and extracted from the fruit and vegetables, always keep in mind that these are just ads for promotion. When the whole earth environment is polluted, do you still expect that there are so called things totally natural? The point is we have to choose that good quality product comparatively and less stimulation for ourselves and our children.

For the color make up, my suggestion is if needed, once or twice is not a big deal.

Notice your child’s self-dignity

January 16th, 2010

We will not doubt that each child has self-dignity. Maybe he has it when 4 years old, maybe 2 years old or ever earlier. We should never think that this kind of thing coming later after going to kindergarten.

My daughter start kindergarten the early of this year and refuse to go to it from time to time. Sometimes, it is because her sickness and sometimes for bad weather and sometimes there was no reason at all. The tuition was paid monthly and therefore she could be absent of school for a month. Her situation brought some difficulty for the head teacher when there was an activity of the school kids for the festival or anniversary. In December, the kindergarten started to prepare for the New Year’s coming and the whole school had a party. Each class should prepare one program. My daughter’s class had a dancing program and the teacher didn’t consider my daughter’s participation because of her absence those days. Later on, my daughter insisted not to go to kindergarten for a whole week until her teacher asking for. I asked for the reason and her reply was she thought the teacher didn’t like her so that teacher didn’t give her the chance for the party. “I know how to do all of the moves, why the teacher doesn’t inform me, she must does not like me.”I realized that her self dignity was hurt. The next day I communicated with the teacher and told her the whole speech. I weaved a reason and proved to my daughter that her teacher still liked her as previously and the thing finally ended and past.

Each children start to own self dignity at a very young age. They need to be respected and concerned. Sometimes the parents hurt the tender heart without any notice. If you have done it unconsciously, modify it as early as possible.

Our memory of snowy day

January 11th, 2010

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.

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

December 29th, 2009

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.

Kidnapping, a horrible word

December 21st, 2009

I heard from the news that kidnapping shows rampant this year in Shenzhen, one of the first four cities which were opened to the world in 1979 in China and the rumors of the kidnapping cases in Shenzhen grows to 20 or so in the last several months. Maybe the panic is not so much severe compared with the situation of kidnapping in London but it really tense people’s nerve especially for those wealthy families, living in the luxury residential apartment around the school building. Two out of the three cases announced publicly by the security bureau was killed after the criminals got the money as required. People get wealthy with the development of the city are the goals of those people, making a desperate move. It is a nightmare for parents, losing their children. However, parents’ warning, education and some preparation for children in daily life decrease the chances of children being kidnapped to great extent.

Let’s share some resources from the web for the sake of our kids.

  1. The Polly Klaas Foundation offers a free child safety kit which includes do-it-yourself fingerprint and DNA documentation.
  1. There are a number of helpful child-safety publications, as well as a wealth of other information, on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children website.
  2. The United States Department of Justice furnishes a searchable sex-offender database.
  3. You can purchase a stranger safety DVD on The Safe Side website. You will also find family and classroom discussion questions on this site. These questions are free to download.  Although there is a cost involved with the DVD, it might be worthwhile to split the purchase with other parents. Plan a night when several families can get together to watch the program. Use the discussion questions in conjunction with the DVD.

I check all the websites and some of them are really helpful. Hope that these resources can help us to do something.

To beat or not, is it a question?

December 18th, 2009

When I was a kid in elementary school, I had a lot of classmates and neighbors. One of those playmates lived beside our house and his family education was really horrible in the community. He has an elder sister, who was one year older than me. We always played together and from my eyes, they were good playmates.

As soon as I heard their crying, I know their father’s tyranny started. It was a tantalizing and hard time for me. I could not help. There always came a great impulse from the bottom of my heart that if I were not a kid, if I had power, I would had broken into his house, beat that tyrant and saved my friends out of the cage. However, it was just my imagination and things went as it was with my tooth bit soundly.

What was going on there in my neighbor’s? The father pricked his two children with self made needles as his special family punishment if the children did something made him angry. The feeble mother was too weak to stop this. I saw the needles by myself and the amount was two, pricked on the wall if not on the body of my friends. The above story was true and was always an example for other parents to spook their children in the community.

I think most of us of my age have experienced being beat by our parents. I remembered to be beat severely in a cold winter day with snowflakes covered the ground. The reason was I went out to play on the ice surface of the huge lake with pals secretly. The surface was not as safe as I thought and I went home with wet shoes and pants. My brother and my cousins all had parents’ punches when they were treasonous teenagers. And now, they all grow up and are my mom’s and my aunt’s comfort and good sons. We hear thousands of times that they beat us for us good. 

To beat or not, in the modern society, education expert’s theory tell us the way to teach our children in a kind method. Yeah, I agree with that .If you can do it with a peaceful way, it is the best of all. But sometimes we may lost our temper and beat our children impulsively, then a kind of thinking is needed afterwards and repair the relationship between you and children as soon as possible.

Let your kids like cooking!

December 8th, 2009

I like cooking much more than washing dishes. I can always create several delicious food when not much ingredient and materials available without a recipe book. I am very proud of it because my peers and friends have to rely on their parents.

There is a reason for everything. First, my mom is a good cooker and when I was a kid, she showed me her passion on cooking and always gave us surprises. Good sense of taste and my mom’s love on cooking affect me in my life. It is an attitude to life.

When kids become grownups, they have to live on themselves and if kids have a good ability of cooking, life should be much more tasteful.

We have some tips to share. Let your kids love cooking. This is one of those abilities that make life colorful.

Among all those tips, in my opinion, mum’s tasteful dishes help a lot than others.

  1. Let you kids feel the fun of cooking and help them cook when they want to have a try. Don’t be afraid of getting things messed up or scold them if kids waste some of the raw material.
  2. I think every kid especially girls have experienced the period of pretending cooking days. I did. If they like pretending cooking, buy some plastic bowls and dishes so that less damage will be occurred. As parents, do not stop them doing this is ok.
  3. Seize the chance of baking cookies with your kids. Let kids be your assistant in the kitchen. It is also good to make a happy atmosphere when the whole families join in cooking.
  4. If you have teenagers, let them play their favorite music while they wash the lettuce and set the table.
  5. When spending time preparing food with your children, include lessons about healthy eating choices. Keep the conversation positive and avoid listing foods they can’t have.
  6. Another important thing is sharing the job of grocery shopping with your kids. Always work from a grocery list and let your children help you retrieve items and cross them off the list.
  7. It is perfect if the whole families enjoy the meal which has each member of the family participated in.

Enjoy his meals

November 30th, 2009

I have a cousin who is twenty one years younger than me. When I went to colleague, he just started to learn to eat. I went to my uncle’s to see him in summer vacation. When we had each meal around the table, he was the one made disorder. We have to admit that during the kid’s education, there are great deals of annoyed headache for parents to research and tackle. Toddler’s eating is one of them.

What to do if he is a picky eater? Would you punish him if he makes the good meal an angry one?

When toddler gets 12 months old, he has the desire to do everything he wants. He wants to walk, run, play and eat by himself. This is the normal signs and we should encourage them. Baby will feel fresh and active when he eats himself. We have several suggestions for your kids to build up an independent eating.

  1. If kid has the willing to eat by himself, we should say ok and let him do freely. Maybe at the beginning the disorder would make you annoyed and the food and soup splash everywhere on the table. Keep in mind that let kid have meals by himself is the start to set up independence.
  2. Parents could give kid signs of correct eating method and feed him while he is playing eating at the same time so that kid would have enough food.
  3. Make sure that the table ware that kid can get in touch with is safe and no harmful.
  4. Turn down the TV and make him sit around the table to let him know that having meal should be at the table.
  5. It is mum’s work to make meals delicious and colourful to let your kid a good appetite.

Each mum has her way to let baby eat happily. Your suggestions are welcomed here.
