Making Green Fun for Your Kids
Filed Under Family | Leave a Comment
By Stephanie Foster
Childhood is a great time to learn about being environmentally friendly. It’s hard in many ways, as your kids see their friends live without thinking about how their actions matter, the toys they play with, the things they have.
The first step is to keep things age appropriate. You can teach children very young about some things. My 2-1/2 year old, for example, already knows the difference between the trash and recycle bins. He asks where to put everything.
My 5 year old is getting into reusing things. An amazing range of things are great for art projects. Old magazines, cardboard boxes, egg cartons and many other items have been saved for later projects. It saves a lot of shopping for ways to help my daughter be creative.

Can Your Family Live on a Single Income?
Filed Under Family | Leave a Comment
By Stephanie Foster
Many families dream of having one parent stay at home to raise the kids. The idyllic picture of having mom (or dad) home, taking care of the kids, cooking great meals, keeping a beautiful home, is hard to resist.
It’s also incredibly difficult financially.
However, in many cases it can be done. And with practice the sacrifices you make may not seem so bad. You will probably take fewer vacations, and they’ll be simpler. You will probably eat out less often. You will probably buy fewer things. If you and your family can live with that, you will probably be able to cope.

Helping Children Cope with Separation
Filed Under Family | Leave a Comment
By Michael Laycock
To separate is a loss. Loss is painful. Separation is a change. Change is uncomfortable. Children like to feel comfortable and secure. Children do not like to feel pain and do not like change.
But let us get this into context. I do not mean to underestimate the effects of divorce on children but in order to understand what your children are going through you need to see what is happening in a wider context.

Statistically, individuals that are capable of reading at an accelerated rate not only reduce the amount of time they spend reading, they also increase their comprehension. For these two reasons alone, it is beneficial to teach your child speed reading. After all, if you teach your child to read quickly, he or she can get homework completed more quickly while learning the content more efficiently. As a result, you can expect your child to experience less frustration while simultaneously bringing his or her grades up and leaving more time for you to spend together as a family.
There are four basic components necessary to teach a child speed reading. The first of these components is teaching natural vision. Natural vision is the idea that our eyes naturally take in the whole picture in front of us rather than just one component. But, when we learn to read, we focus in on just one word at a time rather than the whole text. To teach a child speed reading, you need to teach him or her to return to using natural vision. By using natural vision, your child can see large blocks of print all at once.

Babysitting Safety and Health Concerns
Filed Under Family | Leave a Comment
By Mike Batta
Your home may not necessarily be the safest place for your children. You may be giving babysitting service for a family who is very cautious regarding safety and have plug socket covers and stair gates in their home. On the other hand, the family may not be security conscious. No matter what, the truth is that it is your duty to be cautious with the children when doing the babysitting service as you can avoid a lot trouble if you are safety conscious.
By looking or checking out the children at all times of babysitting service you can keep them away from harm. This way you will be able to prevent a danger from taking place.
Certain safety features of babysitting service are quite clear. An example of such would be to prevent the children from playing with pointed instruments. You should also not allow them to place tiny objects into their nose, ears or mouth. You should be more careful regarding these when providing babysitting service for infants.

One of the hardest things about parenting is agreeing on how to be parents. You and your spouse have to agree to a reasonable degree on many issues, most especially discipline. Without such agreement life can be very confusing and inconsistent for the children.
This can be accented when one parent stays at home. That parent is with the children far more than the one working outside the home, and the impact of inconsistencies can be huge.
But you also need to agree on the duties each parent has. You do not want one parent to have the “bad cop” duty all the time. That means the old “wait until your father gets home” threat can be highly unfair to the father, as well as making the punishment be completely unrelated to the discipline issue.

Have you ever experienced getting an invitation to a birthday party of your beloved 2-year old niece or nephew and do not know what to give? The moment you step into the toy store you find yourself in the midst of fascinating toys and you just can’t decide which one to pick.
Well, if you have, then I’m sure that these five tips will be a big help to you in choosing the best toy to give — toys that are fun but still educational. Tip number one is to be sure that you are buying a toy that really is for a toddler. Sometimes we may over-estimate them and treat them like bigger children.
But no matter what many may think, you should still buy a toy that fits in the age range of a toddler. If you buy a toy that isn’t, there is a large possibility that the child wont like it. Also, try not to buy toys with detachable parts because the child might swallow it.

Going through a divorce is a very challenging time in a person’s life. It is hard to adjust to being single again, as well as living “out of the habit” of being married, especially if you have been married for many, many years.
Eventually, you begin to think about dating, but it is suggested that you take your time. Use this precious opportunity to rediscover yourself. Think of this time in your life as an adventure to explore the real you. If you have worked outside the home combined with being a mom and wife for the last ten, fifteen or twenty years, you may have lost yourself along the way. Certainly not on purpose, but as most women try to do it all as “super” moms, many times we put our own wants and needs on hold to keep our families and jobs running smoothly!
Take a deep breath and let’s start to rediscover our true passions and say… Will the Real Me Please Stand Up!
