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.

Fingernails can tell us

January 15th, 2010

You are what you eat. It is always right. Sometimes body signals can tell us what we are short of in our body. For example, our fingernail has this function. When I was a teenager, I was emerged into playing with my pals and care nothing about my health. As long as I didn’t get sick, I had no awareness of caring my body. However, I knew one thing, which fingernail was sometimes different from each other. More whiter, white fleck in one period and some was flat and easy fractured. The fact is that fingernail can tell us something about our children’s healthy situation. 

Nails can reflect some nutritional deficiencies, such as low levels of iron, biotin and protein.

Most nail problems aren’t associated with nutrition, but if children have an iron deficiency, their nails may disclose it. Pale, whitish nail beds are a common symptom of  animia. With more severe deficiencies, the fingernail may change shape — a condition called koilonychia where the nails are thin and concave with raised vertical ridges.

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.

How much time do you spend on face book?

December 24th, 2009

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.

How much would you let your kids exposed to TV before kid garden?

December 5th, 2009

My colleague’s daughter is four years old and it seems that she is much taller than her actual age. Last Sunday, it was her birthday and my colleague bought a big birthday cake to celebrate. Of course, she was very happy to see it. After the cake was put on the table, she required her mom to comb her hair back and place it neatly. My colleague didn’t take it into mind and said they can comb hair the next morning before going to kid garden. Then her daughter ran to the cake, open the cake box, put her hair back with two hands and throw her face into the cake and came out with colourful cream all over the face. It was really a surprise for both my colleague and her mother in the kitchen. “Is it right to do so? I learn this from the TV. I saw them doing like this. ” She had her finger dipped into cream and tried to touch her mother’s cheek. She sucked the cream around the mouth and it seemed that she was the role in the TV.

This is just one plot of a family story. Of course, the above episode is not a big one.  We can not erase the good effect of TV brought to us and also the side effect it expend.

How long would you let your kids exposed to soup TV plays? Would you ever limit the time of watching TV? What kind of channels would you choose and would you let your kids watch as long as he wants?

Media transmit most of the information we need and TV plays a great role in our daily life. Bloody scene, violent films, sex and raping plot make our kids exposed to negative side of the society so early in their age. Kids are good at imitating. A lot of teenagers get to the wrong way of their life and one of the reason is the media all around of us, transmitting the negative sides. 

We should take the responsibility to control the headstream in our house and limit the time of watching TV. Try our best not to see those bloody scene and films in the face of our kids. All is for them good.

Trust, a powerful way

November 20th, 2009

I have a brother who is three years younger than me. When he was a teenager, his school learning is a headache for the whole family. He is clever and good at sociality. He is just not the kind makes his credit wonderful at school. His behaviour at school had triggered a lot of problems later in daily life. One of them is my mum’s trust. But I believe that he should never do things, which is humiliated. I clearly remember it happened in a sunny day in the afternoon after we came back from high school. My mum was in bad temper because she found the changes in the plate disappeared and was sure that my brother took it. Of course, he denied it and insisted his innocence. We had a furious quarrel and I was on my brother’s side. I trusted him, because of the feeling from his voice and the look on his face, which was so similar to mine when I was unfairly treated and identified as someone took a pair of earrings at the age of 10. I shouted to my mum why not trust your own son. (my cousin lived in my home temporally.) Several years later, I referred it again and my brother said it was not he took the several bucks.

I think that many teenagers; especially those teenagers out of control have experienced this kind of things. They lost parents’ trust to some extend. Without trust, relations between parents and children are always in a vicious circle. Children don’t open their heart to parents and parents feel disappointed day by day. Parents are too busy and are always caught up in too many annoyed things. They sometimes have no patience to listen to our explanations. They judge it on the basis of the previous behaviour teenagers have done.

Actually, trust is the force that makes us move forwards. It means concerning and encouragement. It is always simulative. It sets up equality and respect between parents and children. Always keep in mind that parents should be the first and most reliable friends children can count on.
