Everywhere you go, you’ll see school buses starting up their routes again, Trapper Keepers on sale, and a lack of school-aged children in public parks during the morning hours. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For those of us who home-school our children, though, the routine isn’t quite the same. Maybe people opt for year-round school, and others have shorter breaks spread out throughout the year. However, there are still some ways that you can utilize the season to progress through your child’s education and refocus. Here are 5 ways to make an effective back-to-school season for homeschooling children and teachers. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Plan Some Trips</b><br />
Field trips are the source of most of our favorite school memories. As a homeschool teacher, you have the same access to educational opportunities for your children as a public school system does. Utilize discounts, and personal conversations, and calls that you make just out of curiosity. Consider reaching out to local museums and art galleries, contacting public services like the fire department or the water sanitation works, or even reaching out to individuals in your community who different jobs, like a local farm, or a grocery store. There are so many places to learn from and most people are happy to present a short spiel and give a tour to school-aged children. <br />
<br />
<b>Enroll in Outreach Programs</b><br />
Now is the perfect time to determine which programs outside of home you want your child to be enrolled in. Often, there are certain things that we can’t teach our children as effectively, and it’s best to reach out to an outside source for help. You might opt for an online correspondence course, a homeschool collaborative group, or public city resources for after-school sports. It’s always best for children to have a well-rounded education with extracurricular activities, and these classes and groups grant the perfect opportunities for socializing with other children outside of home. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Set Up Curriculum Checkpoints</b><br />
As I mentioned above with the schedule, we’re always more productive when we have a plan. Take the time now to determine the units that your child will cover this year, and set up checkpoints to help you both know when you’re getting off track. <br />
<br />
<b>Get a School Supply Treat</b><br />
My favorite part of going back to school was always having all the shiny new notebooks and pens from our back-to-school shopping list. You might not have the same flurry of shopping for back to school supplies in your schooling format, but whether you do or not, you should consider taking advantage of the deals. When your child has something special that’s just for them, suddenly there’s a new glamor to working on simple math exercises. Allow your child to choose something special just for them, such as a cartoon-character eraser, or a special, luxurious pen. <br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgevsuBark21AYt4N_kI9DrCWC3iuQgURa-rikE3VF0me98af_s7apSoTrvt9_tlcVRE-O8BlxQ2_tn2kmGI85eYiCUR7a8rh2vHEAS1fI_6XYxBC7GR_Ua5zvuwfev6CTzpUrX/s1600/Back+to+school.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Make the Schedule Visible</b><br />
There’s something about having a schedule that keeps us focused, no matter what age we are. However, if you’re keeping the schedule to yourself, it’s not getting the full benefits that it could. Make sure that your daily school schedule is clear and definitive, and that everyone knows without any doubts what it is. Conducting school from home allows us to have a lot more flexibility, which is nice, but can also be a double-edged sword. If we don’t stick to a schedule, it’s easy to let things slide more and more as time goes on. Take this opportunity to recommit to the schedule and communicate it with everyone in the family. <br />
<br />
<br />
Consider getting a large calendar, corkboard, or paper with the planned schedule. A whiteboard can be especially useful, since you can fill in the flexible bits in dry-erase marker, but keep the hard lines and outlines in a permanent form. You might even want to print out your own schedule to make it really official. <a href="https://citysignsutah.com/matching-screen-color-and-print-color/">Here are some tips</a> on the printing process. <div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-23291819177780723132018-03-06T18:34:00.001-08:002018-03-06T18:34:10.721-08:00Eating Healthier Can Reduce StressAccording to The American Institute of Stress, 3 out of 4 American adults regularly experience physical symptoms that are attributed to stress, while a similar number reports having psychological symptoms caused by stress. We live in an era that is increasingly being defined by our society’s relationship with stress, whether due to strain on our careers, relationships, or independent mental disorders.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIIFxbevpAeH6jS7x1uyDqkkzWEBsWqOiBCz8dEcTQYmBdkkC-SeG0MkfBChLC0ucC8EYJqFFWWzyVL2PAXruVJv0TFHS5DGcXkIpyb2CM6IO9uYJFLtkvIvSq6t_axqifKSpN/s1600/Home+Kitchen.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
For this reason, it’s important to take any steps necessary to reduce the hold that stress has on our minds and bodies. One simple step we can take towards this goal is using our diet to eat healthier...<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
<b>Foods to Eat</b><br />
Having a balanced diet that is full of nutrients and vitamins is crucial to adapting your eating habits to reduce stress. Here are a few foods that you can add to your diet to help you accomplish this:<br />
<br />
<b>Leafy greens</b><br />
Everyone knows that they should eat more dark and leafy greens. It’s practically a cliche to say it, at this point. But to hell with it! Let’s say it one more time. Foods like spinach and kale are full of nutrients like magnesium. A healthy amount of magnesium helps prevent headaches, which can be spurred on by stress. In addition, a large side of these greens on a dinner plate will help keep you from overeating on heavier foods that will make you feel bogged down.<br />
<br />
<b>A healthy mix of nuts</b><br />
When we are stressed, it makes it very easy to burn through our energy without actually accomplishing anything. Nuts are another food that are full of necessary vitamins, such as vitamin B and vitamin E, which are frequently neglected by the general population. Keeping a good mix of almonds, pistachios, or walnuts around can help get an energy boost throughout the day.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLobKc5SpPgcX-6VjvxuOH5vVpAcdyVPPSMNravhhnlK0SiEop8tYtddpP4ldiQNKz-Z2L4aMr5yRdSy3ZThiwySVXa_-0luL4hNRG0XUm-U3qOpF9OxSelm-i5_t3wU0g6yk0/s1600/Eating+Healthier.jpg" width="400" /> <br />
<br />
<b>Dark chocolate</b><br />
Don’t worry. We’re not going to tell you that the only way to cut stress out of your diet is to eat salads and trail mix. It’s important to have snacks in your diet that feel like a real treat, and the best way to do that and get rid of stress at the same time is to eat a couple squares of dark chocolate, every day. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants, and triggers dopamine receptors in the brain, both of which contribute to positive feelings, while washing away the effects of stress.<br />
<br />
<b>Foods to Cut Out</b><br />
You can’t reduce your stress levels just by adding good foods into your diet. You also need to cut out some of the foods that are counterproductive to reducing stress. The irony about many of these types of foods is that people feel more inclined to eat them, when they are stressed. This makes it more imperative to cut these foods out:<br />
<br />
<b>Fat-laden food</b><br />
An overabundance of fat in your food is a quick way to feel weighed down and lose energy, which makes it easier to feel the effects of stress. For this reason, dairy products and red meat, in addition with most processed foods, should be avoided or minimally partaken in. Having just one meal with lots of meat and cheese during the day is going to slow down your circulatory system and make you feel tired.<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgErTI-tfcxYlysJantj-FcxTVUwwBGAoHcXF2u-88cz9I2eVqpVg7vi1vzw5vuAkNImiFy1G5lpAyPHrp1z21S6CVdlrt53gJ0xag3IjO9It2rpYBP3h19lDV8u70-bmvUyQ-9/s1600/Supermarket.jpg" width="400" /> <br />
<br />
<b>Sugar, and other simple carbohydrates</b><br />
Carbohydrates give the body energy. However, not all carbohydrates are created equal. Simple carbohydrates, specifically sugar, are easily processed by the body and into the bloodstream. This causes a sudden spike of energy, but it is quickly followed by a crash. Eating complex carbohydrates allows your body to process that energy in moderation, leading to a healthier lifestyle throughout the day.<br />
<br />
<b>Caffeine</b><br />
One cyclical problem with people who suffer from stress is the self-medication of caffeine. Because people try to get so much done throughout the day, there is a tendency to overload the body with caffeinated beverages. However, this is problematic for the nervous system, and will actually be counterproductive, to a certain point. For this reason, try to mitigate your caffeine intake to just that first cup of coffee or tea. Remember, too much of anything is a bad thing.<br />
<br />
<b>Excess alcohol</b><br />
While moderate alcohol consumption seldom causes health problems, enjoying alcohol in excess can be a major drain on your health. What’s ironic is that many people indulge in alcohol in order to relax. However, the stress it causes on your body greatly contributes to problems with mood and energy. Contributing to cancer, liver disease, and <a href="https://renaissanceranch.net/addiction/alcohol-abuse-increases-heart-risks/">even heart disease risk</a>, alcohol is best enjoyed in limited quantities. <div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-49075115992955380162017-12-22T20:35:00.000-08:002017-12-22T22:40:45.120-08:00Helping Your Child to Play Sports Whether your child is 2 or 18, chances are they are active and interested in all things tech-oriented. But since many kids spend up to 8 hours a day in front of a screen, helping your child to get outside and experience a sport might be one of the best things you can do for them. Playing a sport not only improves health, it increases a child's self-esteem, improves relational skills when teamwork is involved, and helps youths' growing brains to focus on what is at hand, whether that's a basketball game or an exam.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgahmyaoQ8jM5xUSRaf97t-FcWVdjhtBAdl-io_r1kwcZvaif_pEaEtYR6Lxpn-uzZAcTtLjzn9L8Z1g8Az6kwat3WPkAQCtqxjWE4FayHRvz32OJDtAIeQ8RQVIorGxHU4WK28/s400/Children.jpg" width="400" alt="Chidren Sport" title="Chidren Sport">
<br />
<br />
Is there a certain activity your child gravitates to? Maybe they like to splash around in the pool. Or maybe they like to play catch. Even splashing and catching things can grow to become swimming and playing baseball or basketball. And being active in sports such as those help children to develop discipline, motivation, teamwork and passion. It also reduces stress. Such skills and tools will help them to navigate anything in life. <br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
<b>But how to light such a passion in your child? </b><br />
<br />
First, encourage them to get the gist of a sport. Maybe take them to a basketball or football game and let them watch from the sidelines. Explain the rules and strategies, perhaps. Share your own passion for the game, should you have one. Gradually, your child will show interest ... or not. If so, fantastic. You've found a place to develop. If not, keep trying different activities until interest is sparked. <br />
<br />
Once your child has identified a particular sport or activity, help them to learn the rules and play fairly, with skill. If you yourself cannot do this, there are coaches, club leaders, and community members who can, and happily do so. Watch as short practices become full-length games once your child has gotten into regular play. You and your child will appreciate the met goals and games won. Even games lost that are played with dignity are worthwhile. <br />
<br />
Avoid pushing your budding athlete, however. Pushing simply drives a child to resentment in most cases. Guide your son or daughter to discipline within the sport, but don't push for more than the child is capable of doing or being. Let your child grow without too much pressure. Let him enjoy instead of dread. <br />
<br />
Encourage <a href="https://www.groupon.com/coupons/stores/nike.com">playing</a> outside, too. If a child is active in sports, chances are they'll already spend a lot of time outdoors, but not necessarily so. The basketball player who dribbles down inside courts regularly might not always experience the fresh air of an outdoor court. Sunshine is important to a child's health, so don't forget to be sure they see the light of day! <br />
<br />
Once your child has mastered the basic rules and techniques of an activity, then let them hold the reins, so to speak. That is, don't push them to continue in something that they no longer find enjoyable. Allow them to explore other activities if they desire to do so. Your child does not need to be a tennis savant dedicated to playing only racquet sports. Maybe they'll find soccer even more appealing. Give them the freedom to quit one sport for another. <br />
<br />
Sports are not only enjoyable, they teach key life skills such as commitment, teamwork, integrity, and physical fitness. Encouraging your child to observe, then participate in an activity could open doors for him or her to grow exponentially in their school careers and in life in general.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-31253833527498875032017-10-05T01:36:00.003-07:002017-10-05T01:36:40.007-07:00Negative and Positive Effects of Computer on Children With the regular use of a computer, lives of children have been greatly affected. Nowadays, the use of a computer is increased on a large scale. People take help of computers to perform a certain task rather than doing their own because it is more reliable and efficient to solve certain problems. This has immensely affected the lives of children. Everything in this world comes with its own pros and cons, so do computers as well. The use of this technology can be very useful but dangerous too if used excessively.<br />
<br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqnuWXxtPggO3jZXPOJctItf0TQ0rsTItfIKj812JvG99hYPHcF_X_Qm3wqgKmDdxQ0RfiRLnYoKZtI2pxh8TqTbbNrzHfkMMdf9yFO43JcWuqKYtlwKGXf1-9bkybiQoTX7LC/s1600/Children+Playing+Computer.jpg" width="400">
<br />
<br />
<b>Positive Effects</b>
<br />
Educational sectors have introduced the use of the computer, years ago. Academic softwares can be employed to develop the learning skills in children. They can take help from internet to solve their assignment issues, read and research on various topics to enhance their knowledge and can perform academically related tasks on the go. Computers allow children of several age groups to build up artistic proficiency in photography, film-making, drawing and design as well.
<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
Furthermore, with the use of computers, children can easily improve their communication skills. They get access to log in to forums where they can share and interact with the people around the globe. Some other tools, such as e-mail, are helpful in enhancing the communication skills of children.
<br />
<br />
Computers offer many opportunities to meet new people. There are various social networking sites where children of nowadays connect and interact to make new friends. This expands their view of exploration and hence, acquires knowledge about different cultures and religions. In fact, they can meet and greet their old friends with the help of the internet.
<br />
<br />
<b>
Negative Effects</b>
<br />
By the excessive use of the computer, a distance is maintained between children and other family members. They tend to spend more time in using the computer than with their family. This not only creates a sense of communication gap but can also lead to other life issues. The computer allows children to access social as well as entertainment related sites which can develop a computer addiction in them. This may cause serious domestic, social and health issues for them.
<br />
<br />
Children, who use the computer all day and night, may complain about their health issues. They are vulnerable to headaches, eye-sight and muscular issues. These medical problems are often the consequence of using the computer continuously or in a fixed position. Apart from physical health issues, children are vulnerable to access high explicit adult material which can let them involve in extramarital affairs. Children who use the internet more frequently are at a higher risk of learning and adopting non-acceptable activities, such as intake of drugs, smoking, and other unethical interactions.
<br />
<br />
It is necessary for parents to keep a regular check on their children and must not allow the use of a computer at a very young age. This cannot be restricted but altered if parents schedule a certain time limit for their children. In consequence, it can minimize the risk of getting them involved in vulnerable activities.

It is relatively much easier to brush up on natural skills but improving your writing ability is a bit trickier. Improving your writing skills is just a matter of becoming mindful of the things you can do to give your text more composition and make your copy crisp and understandable with a conversational approach. Becoming a better writer takes a lot and a lot of practice but don’t keep it here. Apart from practice, there are many other things you should know to improve your writing ability. <br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VoGIhzBJQADfkWxJmhaTf3NYtwOEU7n0MLcI8FGgg4B0yBlAcpvojOkMYTJB4ElharFu8e9IdzP4fgSCaPNDWYyAXUPfOR4xr4LOlVXU-CKWHvWZuelfbqIIDAwEW4HVSX_8/s1600/Reading.jpg" width="400">
<br />
<br />
<b>Read A lot </b><br />
Your writing ability can be much improved by reading – spend your most of the time in reading various books and articles. However, reading only single content will just limit your imagination. Try to get your hands on various domain contents to broaden your literary horizon. This is the initial step to enhance your exposure towards the ability to write in various styles. <br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
<b>Clear your concepts about the topic</b> <br />
Before you write your first draft, make sure that you have enough knowledge about the topic. If your writing objective is to attain a specific result, inquire yourself what that result should be. Before you lunge into writing, have a clear purpose. Then stick to it. It is of more advantage to thought-organize before drafting your article if it contains a complex message, get all the stuff sorted earlier than you sit down to write. A good practice is to make an outline or short notes to save your time while writing your article. <br />
<br />
<b>Phrase out your article </b><br />
Right usage of phrases can make your content more readable and simpler to understand. It is necessary to clear your doubts regarding the usage of prepositional phrases. Simplify your writing by first getting the idea of such phrases and then alter your article by adding or removing such words. In addition to this, eliminate the contribution of much used words. This will definitely indulge your reader more into the article. <br />
<br />
<b>Make your article more conversational </b><br />
A writer’s aim is to convince the reader and bring them closer to their ideas. Adding rich vocabulary to your content will just take your readers’ eyes off the article. Dropping down million-dollar words to your content is useless to grasp your reader’s attention. Try to be as simple as possible. Don’t make your sentences too long that your reader keeps finding the finish point. Try to keep your language simple and direct, better not to sound poetic and off-sense.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMrIR_TCV7Ox76eoLFLLP6sbdgzY78Ce6KgTXeu2UAAlViP6Ni9W6a2Fh6PQJ_7G2w5lM4a14FpN4wxRfBX1fxjgNKWipSSokYYxOcHIfz78Bbju_PfppIIambttto029-eNeo/s1600/Writing.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Highlight Yourself </b><br />
A better approach for an acceptable article is to write out the content which reflects your own personality. Letting your personality stand out through is the finest way to extend a writing style. Use the phrases and typical words that you would usually use but only within reason. When it is suitable, add in a relevant personal tale. In all but the most formal or professional writing situations, be yourself when you write. <br />
<br />
<b>Practice till you get it right </b><br />
You must have heard about a famous quote, “Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong”. To achieve a good writing ability, you must practice until you get a fine grip over your writing skills. The most ultimate way to get your strengths push down your weaknesses is to learn from your mistakes. It is not necessary that your very first article is error-free but you can make it happen by polishing your abilities to write a better content. Keep on producing your rough drafts and proof-read to eliminate the mistakes in a best possible way. The more you write, edit, and proofread, the better you get at it. <br />
<br />
A writer must be thoughtful and thus, can sustain to grab readers’ attention to a greater extent. It is not really necessary that a writer can achieve all the skills but can seek some to polish his abilities. The best way to furnish the ideas is to write, write and just write. This requires a handful practice and much knowledge about the styles a writer should adopt while writing. At last, one should get a hands-on observation of using right vocabulary and must consider and polish his grammatical mistakes before pouring down his thoughts to a paper. The ability to successfully express your message and tell your story through the written words is one of the most important skills that you can develop. Review your work thoroughly to get the experience of writing well. This will help you in succeeding the seat of the next level writers and will make you prominent in the eyes of readers. <br />

Occasionally, however, you might find your son or daughter’s teeth have started to turn yellowish. There are a few reasons this could occur. Tooth discoloration could be categorized as internal or external, and therapy is determined by exactly what the reason for teeth that were yellowish is.
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYrUZmgNDcc7FDF_tgfxHO-Sb7xCFaHi_wvXHOVolFxXvJdeCSNojJObnev2ZjWBAxZ8Wo5erQMib-tbQFkj80WVmjMAOz7_AR-w3RvDc8YRjAPvHIy939RZHOHwtG0kYzzeDM/s400/Kid+Teeth.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Fluorosis </b><br />
This permanent condition is due to eating an excessive amount of fluoride through the enamel-building years. The fluoride problems the enamel-forming tissues, leading to a mineralization illness that raises the subsurface enamel. This permeable area causes a dull yellowish to show.
<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
<b>Tetracycline </b><br />
Tetracycline is an antibiotic drug which can bring about teeth that are yellowish. Usually, this is triggered when the little one 's teeth are developing, when consumed throughout childhood and is included in cool medicine. The whole teeth might change, or it could change threads, outlines or areas of the teeth. This is determined by the length of the coverage and what precisely area of the enamel of the tooth's had been created throughout that point. These spots are impossible to remove without the need for methods that are whitening. Because of this, children less than ten years old are seldom approved Achromycin. <br />
<br />
<b>Teeth Injury </b><br />
Injuries that harm the neural in or near could cause yellowing that is yellowish in kids teeth. The spot just forms inside teeth or the tooth the neutral is connected to. In case your kid h-AS one enamel that's yellowish or gray from injury to the neural, you need to just take your son or daughter to the dentist immediately. The interior of the teeth needs specialist attention, although the outside the enamel may possibly briefly bleach. <br />
<br />

When you have an autistic child, the moments of joy can sometimes be overshadowed by some of their intricacies they cannot control. Many people do not realize how unique and special autistic children are until they are around them. They live a life that is unique from any other child and can fill a parent’s heart with more joy and love than they ever thought possible. <br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxMXrxW68yLfZsII0LIH2ho28Diha9i9fp-sImPYPP5v93DVdfyAmkCHVUcRdMkYC0hH6KA4vZpP8BjJi4NU4KieXkQBByGQQXd3Axe-cukCvF_iRmGxdZWFNuA5ChEc7HgE9/s400/A+Child.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
Being the parent of an autistic child is not without its challenges. Many autistic children have sensory issues that make it difficult for them to live life the way children without sensory issues live. Children without autism often have a favorite outfit simply because they like the way it looks, whereas autistic children have favorite attire for the way it feels against their skin. The following guide walks you through a few tips for <a href="http://www.lifewith4boys.com/2016/12/backpacking-travel-packing-tips-with.html">finding the right clothing for your autistic child</a>. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Take Them with You to Feel Different Textures
</b><br />
When
you go to buy clothes for your child, consider taking them with you to
go and feel the clothing with their own hands. This will allow you to
learn which fabrics your child likes and which they do not. Make a note
of which fabrics are their favorite so that you can shop for those
fabrics when you shop for items online or when your child is not with
you.<span class="EOP SCX122106764" style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 20px;"> </span>
<br />
<br />
<b>Consider the Texture of Items before You Buy Them </b><br />
There are some autistic children who cannot handle certain elements of clothing. Some children cannot handle the way the zippers feel when they touch their skin or the way it feels when you zip and unzip them. <br />
<br />
Some children prefer <a href="http://www.smartknitkids.com/Products/seamless_socks.html">seamless socks</a> because they do not have to feel the seam of the socks going over their toes. Some children prefer hooded jackets, whereas others only want to wear a hat when the weather gets colder. Taking the time to accommodate the needs of your child will ensure that they are as happy and healthy as they can be at all times. <br />
<br />
<b>Consider the Colors that Are Most Appealing to Your Child </b><br />
There are some autistic children who are drawn to clothing that features one color more than another color. It is important to realize that the child may not be able to explain why the color makes them feel so comfortable. Try your best to find clothing in the colors that give your child peace and confidence to tackle each day. <br />
<br />
<b>Consider the Sizes of the Clothing </b><br />
When you are choosing clothing for your child to wear, you need to be sure that it fits him or her in a way that they feel most comfortable. The clothing should not be too tight or it could feel restrictive when your child goes to put it on. Likewise, you do not want clothing that is too large or it could fall off your child while they are playing. <br />
<br />
<b>Consider the Fasteners </b><br />
When choosing a coat or pants for your child, consider the fasteners before making a purchase. If your child does not like zippers, you may want to choose items that have a Velcro fastener. Buttons can often be difficult for autistic children to secure because they do not have the <a href="https://www.autism-programs.com/articles-on-autism/dyspraxia-movement-difficulties-in-children.htm">dexterity</a> needed to fasten the buttons securely. <br />
<br />
Once you have considered all of these factors, you will be ready to start shopping for clothes for your child. Let him or her decide which outfits they want to wear so that they can feel that they are in control of an aspect in their life.

develop skills such as strategic thinking and crea-tivity. So it is
necessary that teachers supervise the gaming habits of their learners
through educational games without using board and marker.<br />

Summary providing for
the educational games play needs of children is a complex and
challenging task. A variety of factors must be considered, including the
vari-ous play needs of young children, supervision, safety, and ADA
access. However, because our children experience fewer and fewer
opportunities to explore nature, run, roll, climb, and swing and because
educational games play is part of being a child, we must find a variety
of ways to provide quality outdoor play experiences for children,
infants through age eight years. This task is made even more im-portant
as our early childhood programs focus more and more on teaching basic
skills and early <a href="http://www.assignmentland.com/">academics</a>. Here our task is to explore the ideas
through educa-tional games in children and making games are useful,
effective and enjoyable for all ages. <br />

It is hard to resist spending a day with your precious child sometimes, but how to unite your routine with entertaining your kid? Well, let’s see what we can do here.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr8UTC8X7s4q0ufO1pn57dfhToA5SclAZeisqEp7WgtC42lAMkXak7WlrTWWlRhUfzrMtROQABnTV8CCu8oVb3vx0FlB6ZB1coIS7z7cOIYww0rWO7Nex_t86F7H6PGTuKnIX3/s400/Kids.jpg" title="Kids" alt="Kids" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Give the most attention </b><br />
Kids are very curious, and it is not a secret. Talk with them about whatever they want to discuss, unless they are grown up enough for a certain talk. Even if you are stressed or in a rush during the day, never reply to your child with a negative mood. A positive vibe in any situation is what our kids deserve. Dedicate your thoughts and attention to your kid, and you will get an equal feedback.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>2. Remember about their nutrition</b> <br />
Providing your kid with all the necessary supplements during the day is a complicated task. You don’t want to feed your child with fast food or something unnecessary sweet and oily. It is always good to have something in your fridge to take with you if such an occasion happens. Every meal should be rich in proteins. If your child wants to have just a snack, consider offering some vegetables instead of sweets.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Method for special cases </b><br />
Even the <a href="http://bonbonsalon.com/">best hair salons in New York</a> won’t be able to suit the exclusive demands of your kid. Place him or her near you, but don’t let your child distract your stylist if you, for example, need to have a styling session or a cut. Fortunately, we all have phone and tablets. It is not a decent decision, but you can download some cartoons to entertain your kid. The main point is always to answer your kid’s questions about the plot as if you a really interested. <br />
<br />
It is hard to manage to control your kid in conjunction with your everyday duties, but there is nothing impossible for a true parent. <div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-60716965596106314612016-11-04T04:48:00.002-07:002016-11-04T04:48:40.643-07:0020 Things for Educators to Know How Students Learn An educator is successful when he or she has the ability to transfer knowledge successfully to the students. Knowing how students learn would make them experts in their fields.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitcWHCrSnkQSaBJA2sdBsXt2AdAxF1mW7WpOneq9fFh_wO-isx7k6hgc4Nd4gIQ3GVwL0n38LMG4x0TWui96alXTqk30kBfiN6di_wwuYD7q1wVdQVIv6wMZk3yvZPWXvPZVEv/s400/Students.jpg" title="Students" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
For learning process to be successful, the educators must understand their students. Below is a detailed list of 20 things an educator should know about how different students learn.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
<br />
<b>1. There are many learning styles</b><br />
Learners can learn through verbal, visual, social, logical, intrapersonal, and kinesthetic learning style among others. Learning can also be in groups or solo. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Students learn differently </b><br />
The educators should understand that their students come from different backgrounds - financially; as well as socially. Therefore they will have different levels of learning and understanding. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>3. Accept failure </b><br />
Failure is a way of learning. People learn from failure. Learning from failures is the easiest method of learning. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Integration of the teaching curriculum </b><br />
Each subject in the syllabus should relate to one other. This way, the learners are able to put the knowledge together. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Different forms of learning </b><br />
<br />
Learning has several definitions. It can be through classroom, apprenticeship or practical methods. All these forms should be appreciated and included in the learning program. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Learning by Reinforcement </b><br />
<br />
An example of reinforcement is teaching a geography class by use of maps and worksheets or teaching sciences by use of models. This will increase the rate of knowledge absorption by the students. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>7. Incorporate kinesthetic learning </b><br />
<br />
This is learning by use of touch and taste senses. Kinesthetic learners must try something on their own, they need to watch it fail and eventually learn from that particular experience. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>8. Make learning Relevant</b><br />
A learner is able to store information when he can relate it to day-to-day living. The educator should therefore use real life examples. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>9. Define the learning space </b><br />
<br />
Giving the student space to learn will improve their creativity. The teacher should stop being a dictator and become a true mentor to enable them to effectively learn <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10. Use Technology</b><br />
Incorporate the use of technology in learning through use of customized tablets and laptops. This will make research work easy as the students will not have to walk to libraries in order to learn. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>11. Use brainstorming methods </b><br />
<br />
This involves group thinking. This will give birth to good ideas and solution. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>12. Teach ways of learning</b><br />
Through this, they will be more patient with themselves and others as they learn. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>13. Involve feedback mechanism</b><br />
Allow students to ask questions or give suggestions during and after teaching. This way, educators will be able to identify the strength and weaknesses of students. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>14. Allow the students to teach</b><br />
Create a plan to involve students to teach their peers. <br />
<br />
Other ways include the following. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>15. Creating curiosity and hunger to learn in students through motivational mentoring. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>16. Inculcating in them a habit of keeping a learning planner. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>17. By providing insights relevant to daily life. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>18. By keeping the learning process organized, brief and effective. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>

Have you ever thought of making your routine pleasant for both you and your kids? Let’s take a look at some simple tips on how to entertain the whole family. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>1. Use your common spare time in a proper way </b>
<br />
Kids are not made for small talks. They want to obtain the skill of a good interlocutor. Talk with your children about the entirely various things while driving your car to his or her school, for example, rather than asking about his homework and other boring stuff, which may discourage your kid before the school day, discuss some situations you had in the past and let your kid evaluate them. Inspire your child with your knowledge and experience.
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<b>2. Take your kids with you </b><br />
We are not talking about taking your kids to disturb your colleagues during the working day, obviously. On the other hand, we have much tasks to do except our work. As an example, most of the New York citizens visit a barbershop weekly, and that is reasonable. So what about taking your son to a <a href="http://dejavubarbershop.com/">barber shop NY</a>? Getting your son involved in adult conversations and watching how men are cut and shaved is also a good experience for the further future. Almost any of your side routines will work because nearly all the children want to try the stuff their adult parents do. <br />
<br />
These tips are the basic platform to get in touch with your kid even closer and build different progressive relationships. The other tips which suit your child exclusively will come out automatically. <div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-38734566918718121262016-10-07T22:08:00.001-07:002016-10-07T22:08:26.878-07:00Different Types of Learning DisordersGoing to school and trying to take in all of the knowledge that the world has to offer is already a huge challenge for many children. However, the difficulties provided by the social and academic structures of public school can be greatly heightened when a particular child suffers from a learning disorder. An astonishing 5%, or nearly one-in-twenty, of all public school students in the United States suffer from a specific type of learning disorder. Children who suffer from a learning disorder are much more likely to have problems in class, be suspended or expelled, and be bullied than those who do not. However, there are many programs in place today to help children who struggle with various learning disorders, and they are getting better every day. Lasting support starts with the parent, though, and their ability to recognize when their child has a learning disorder. Here are several different types of learning disorders that kids suffer from...<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwO2SNkqj3bYCEpQo2Bisq83BKPVVxNXVrmK9GgjgKGTpaJz4ZA8KQjeHFER4hGvAHVpSkg2cTWIg7irYSvKvmVdVTRTVKIjemfHFuMTP3KRzTNf5KB3PPkd_hD734q_Ys438x/s400/Teaching+a+boy.jpg" title="Teaching a boy" alt="Teaching a boy" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Dyslexia</b>
<br />
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that greatly affects a child’s reading comprehension, and is the largest cause for children who fall behind their suggested reading level. This often makes children feel, unfairly, like they are stupid. If it goes unnoticed, dyslexia plagues a child’s mind with self-doubt. However, they should not be made to feel this way. Symptoms of dyslexia are that a child will read incredibly slowly, and will have issues recognizing words that they have known before. The most notable symptom of dyslexia is that letters in words will seem to be in different orders to them. However, children with dyslexia won’t display the same challenges with listening as they will with reading. If your child has dyslexia, learning about multi-sensory teaching strategies will help them find their own strategies for reading and retaining information.<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Dysgraphia</b>
<br />
Dysgraphia is often mistaken for dyslexia, but they are quite different. Dysgraphia is a learning disability that makes it difficult for a person to develop written-language comprehension. While dyslexia makes it hard to read, dysgraphia makes it hard to write. Children who suffer from dysgraphia will write very slowly and disjointedly, and find it challenging to think of the next word they are going to write after they finish the one they are currently working on. If your child has major inconsistencies with the spacing in their writing, or often doesn’t finish words when they are writing, then they might possibly be displaying symptoms of dysgraphia. If your child suffers from dysgraphia, utilize modern word processing software to help them recognize mistakes in their writing, and also teach them note-taking skills that involve an audio recorder.
<br />
<br />
<b>Dyscalculia</b>
<br />
There are probably many people in the world who think that they struggle with math, but there is a distinct difference between those people and those who suffer from dyscalculia. Dyscalculia is a learning disability that makes it challenging for people to comprehend numbers and their relation to each other. Although some parents mistakenly believe their child suffers from dyscalculia, there are several symptoms that can help you identify whether this is truly the case. Kids who have dyscalculia will find it challenging to put information into a sequence, such as the days of the week or the time of day. They will also have trouble grasping the idea of positive and negative value. It can be harder to spot whether or not a child is suffering from dyscalculia, but parents who suspect it should consult a medical professional to make sure.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>ADHD and similar disorders</b>
<br />
One of the most common misconceptions about learning disorders is the inclusion of ADHD as an immediately classified learning disorder. The situation with ADHD (or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is more complicated. Although ADHD certainly can affect a child’s performance at school, especially if they are not being treated, it is not actually classified as a learning disorder. Despite this, some researchers estimate that as many as half of children with ADHD also suffer from a different learning disorder. Because of this, many experts are considering including several disorders, including ADHD, in the classification of learning disorder. This includes another common disorder called dyspraxia, which affects a person’s motor skills. The truth is that anything that affects a child’s ability to learn should be taken into account when talking about learning disorders. There are even some experts who classify that externally developed behavioral issues, such as addiction, should be considered a learning disorder (<a href="http://amfmtreatment.com/addiction-as-a-learning-disorder/">a subject that is wonderfully covered in this article here</a>).<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-45409063645545390182016-09-15T04:36:00.003-07:002016-09-17T05:05:32.665-07:00How to protect your children from head liceHead lice are a common problem, which your children can bring home from their school or a sleepover. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to prevent it from happening:<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkeA35hVS5JWWxmrF_w1HOhL-lUZ8mswslcs-IjAZ355SDNS5M91QjO8yXAXb7zEXOkxvehWe1Kk1Obltn1MnvpEf_Avd_ajP58MS4egYDMlXAnLQXMl75DOnYdTZBBRVwIjB/" title="Girl face" width="400" />
<i><br />Image: flickr.com/photos/jryde</i><br />
<br />
<b>1. Keep your ears open </b><br />
If you find out about a bout of lice at kindergarten, school, or sports club of your children, you should take measures immediately. Experts at Best Salon NYC recommend using a preventive shampoo designed for kids; its nature-inspired formula works effectively and gently. It’s also essential to have quick check-ups, especially if your child is scratching his/her head.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>2. Wash everything regularly </b><br />
It sounds pretty obvious, but it’s essential to wash items contacting with our hair regularly. Make sure you cleanse your blankets, bed linens, towels, hats, and scarves regularly. It’s also important to keep your hair tools clean (brushes, combs, and hair accessories). You can even soak them in rubbing alcohol from time to time just to be on the safe side. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Explain the rules of sharing </b><br />
We teach our children that sharing is good while in fact, it’s good only to some extent. According to experts at <a href="http://bonbonsalon.com/spa-packages/">Best Salon NYC</a>, items like combs, brushes, hair accessories, pillows, hats, and scarves should never be shared. Since these things have a direct contact with our head, they can transfer nasty bugs to your children. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Encourage proper storage</b> <br />
It’s essential to be extremely careful in public places; for this reason, you should teach your kids to store their stuff properly. Encourage them to use lockers at school or changing room where their hats and scarves will be stored separately. Sometimes headgear can be hidden in the sleeve of their jacket or coat. <br />
<br />
Keep these simple rules in mind to protect your children! <div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-10506362083659150612016-09-13T00:27:00.001-07:002016-09-13T00:27:07.253-07:00Millenial Nostalgia for Kids and AdultsUnless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ve heard something about Pokemon Go, the augmented reality game that has zombie-like hordes congregating in malls, libraries, and even cemeteries, studiously watching their smartphones.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl2UXl_t0WsYa5ZsdYnUyhyXHxM2Mp3BFpu455m_5qoQY5VMlH6hRH15a96ojYjFRWf9Rcdin-r-jXI_whAaJDqHav2eBLTJh8o_SHBFtOQkvEjeCyFJ-VUxaDhdk-kKTOWqNv/s1600/Modern+young+people.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
You may love the game or hate it. You might focus on how it does a great job at getting kids outdoors and moving, or you might focus instead on how it’s making people <a href="http://mastermuffler.net/blog/2016/08/01/driving-under-the-influence-of-pokemon/">drive like idiots</a>. But I don’t want to talk about that today. I want to talk about what this says about our generation and <a href="http://elevatepromo.com/what-pokemon-go-teaches-us-about-marketing/">nostalgia culture</a>.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Nostalgia Marketing is Incredibly Powerful</b>
<br />
Pokemon Go has had 26 million daily users at its peak. They say the game is worth 29 billion. $3 million is spent per day on in-app purchases. It’s a huge deal! Now, the success of this game isn’t solely based in the fact that it introduces a new kind of technology to video games. Augmented reality has been around for a while, it’s just that no one has quite capitalized on it in the same way. One of the biggest reasons that Pokemon Go has made such a splash is because of the way that it appeals to Millenial nostalgia. A generation that obsessed over the new releases of Pokemon GameBoy games, who bought playing and trading cards by the millions, and who tuned in every week for an update on the saga of Ash and friends… that generation has grown up. They’ve got money to spend, and even a new generation of little ones to infect with Pokemon fever.
<br />
<br />
And the appeal to Millenial nostalgia is evident in other places too. Take a look at the reboots of old movies and show series. The hits on fluff posts like “20 things you remember if you grew up in the 90’s,” or the crazy success of Nickelodeons new flashback nights.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4l4Fmqj1jYr8GX80p9qp9RCwL7AcEfO5kBVDrbfEeJnu3L2BjcVnTE86CdYvmvyBrDCdvmyQr2jv9CkGMnBR0f4Qs_l3-0rXh3l9dHg8PJIPod5TnP9tJHrJGyCePC43dCxPY/s1600/Old+cassette.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Where’s Your Golden Era?</b>
<br />
Sure, nostalgia marketing is nothing new. Everything from Happy Days to the phrase “the great American songbook” capitalizes on the idea that there was a golden era that we’ve since lost. However, what’s striking to me about Millenial nostalgia is how focused it is on childhood things. I believe that nostalgia for previous generations has mainly focused on young adulthood, when they were young and coming into their power as adults. It’s that era from 15-30 when the body’s in its prime, when you’re finding your place in life, and when your culture and likes define the time and dominate the radio waves.
<br />
<br />
Wait… that’s the age group that Millenials are in RIGHT NOW. THIS should be our golden era. So why are we romanticizing our childhood? A time period when, I’d like to remind everyone, all we wanted was to be grown up.
<br />
<br />
I think that the ultimate anthem of this phenomenon is the chart-topper by 21 Pilots, “Stressed Out.” If you’re not familiar with it, check out the video:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pXRviuL6vMY/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="300" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pXRviuL6vMY?feature=player_embedded" width="400"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
I think that the answer to this occurrence (Millenials romanticizing childhood instead of building things NOW to romanticize later) lies in this song: “Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the latter.” Millenials are growing up, and finding that it’s just not going the way we thought it would. “Used to dream of outer space but now they’re laughing in our face saying ‘wake up, you need to make money.’”
<br />
<br />
<b>Life is Complicated</b>
<br />
Sure, being an adult has always been complicated. It’s long included scary responsibilities and bewildering bureaucracy. However, we’re all crippled with an overwhelming amount of complications right now. So give me just a few minutes to whine about it:
<br />
<br />
Modern technology has complicated our world. We’re consuming more information in a day than our great grandparents did in their entire lives. Sure, this is a beautiful thing. We have answers for all of our curiosities, and anyone can watch a few YouTube tutorials and teach themselves how to play guitar… but it also leads to major information overload and decision-making burnout before kids even graduate. Maybe it has led to a devaluation of information in the minds of the youth.
<br />
<br />
A more connected world means more voices participating and therefore, more competition. It’s hard to rise to the top of a pool of millions of voices which are each given as much weight as the other. While this crowdfunding, equilateral balance is beautiful, it’s also tough to navigate.
<br />
<br />
More wealth means we’re all acting like moguls but trying to get by on middle class (or--yay!--intern’s) salaries. Moguls have financial advisors, personal lawyers, and assistants to take care of the busywork of life. Although we have more luxuries and opportunities than our grandparents did, no matter what social class they were in, we also have a lot more competition, so everything costs more.
<br />
<br />
Everyone’s offended, so sometimes we’re scared to make a move. In a way, it’s good that we’re no longer elevating one gender or race above all the others, but in a way it’s scary because it means there needs to be a new criteria for choosing our leaders, and we don’t seem to have figured it out yet.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwy1AZWblK92vu6gZq-GF49_wXAnB52smsyEl5jzGAO8cc1h6_XJBA-KhF8DTD1kHfO-kAMo1HO83_aFvcpkXqTDns4xCSe-kF4s0I_pPiNgAKzN8JIHN8BGS8_pn_BNI1SY2Z/s1600/Playing+Pokemon+GO.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Feeling Disenfranchised is Stupid</b><br />
With the American presidential vote coming up, political involvement is an interesting gauge of demographics and their power. A low percentage of Millenials are planning to vote. Some of this is because the younger generation is frustrated or apathetic. It’s hard to classify a group including so many people, but the overall tone of Millenials is disenfranchisement.
<br />
<br />
My argument is that Pokemon Go proves a very different story: Millenials are incredibly powerful. Look at the purchasing power of our generation. That might seem like a stupid gauge of power, but in America, it’s sometimes the only power that matters. Purchasing power leads to cultural power, which leads to the power to classify an era. Furthermore, it influences the values and emotional climate of the next generation.
It’s time to use that power for something more than reliving childhood.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-74872901938906701812016-08-18T21:57:00.002-07:002016-08-18T21:57:42.862-07:00Technology in classrooms; latest technology trends for students!The new dimension of giving videos for homework is on the rise. Surely, it can be said something which is beyond the ‘tipping point’, because there are many students who are now not using the traditional computers to connect to the internet. Here are some of the new technology trends which are observed recently.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3-58CD2P4AQHVmlmAJbHDcbG4Phnx1YIXIb-437GrI_VIcc0f8EkVUkRyN8O0e-9QGuqQt_4uVNZr2H5qN8A4YieNyS7IjLcsx1SJZEO67xzN7g2O7LI56uPvh_hEyUAJyaND/s1600/Classroom.jpg" title="Technology in classroom" width="400" />
<br />
<b>Students have personal access to the mobile devices: </b><br />
The trend of having personal access to mobile devices is increasing day by day and most of the students are carrying the devices in their pockets, backpack or purses. Most of the students have access to the internet connected smart-phones and devices and they are using them in the classrooms.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Access to the internet: </b><br />
Students usually connect to the internet at home or at school by using the 3G and 4G devices as one of the primary means by which they can connect themselves to the internet. As far as the traditional broadband access is concerned, they do not consider it as their primary means of connectivity rather they prefer those means on which there is less contention with other family members. <br />
<br />
<b>Utilization of videos for both classwork and homework: </b><br />
Video is one of the greatest tools whose trend is on the rise. Most of the teachers are using the videos for development of better understanding in students. Students are accessing the videos and taking initiatives on their own to help them with homework. Some of them also use the videos which are developed by teachers. <br />
<br />
<b>Using the mobile devices for doing school work: </b><br />
Students nowadays are greatly using the mobile devices in order to improve their efficiency in the day-to-day tasks and to alter their own learning processes. Many students keep the mobile devices for keeping in touch with others by using the reminders and alerts, which can help them in their academic lives. Some of them use the mobile devices for taking the photos of their assignments and some use them for in-class polling. Some students also use the mobile devices for texting the questions during the lectures in the classrooms. <br />
<br />
<b>Utilizing different tools for different tasks: </b><br />
With the growth of different tools, students are going towards the best fit solutions which can serve their specific needs. Apart from using a single platform for different tasks, they are highly confident about taking advantage of different tools which are available to them. <br />
<br />
<b>Give attention to the digital imprints: </b><br />
Digital imprints are mostly the things which students post online. Being on the social media, students also advise their peers about the content which they have to post on social media sites. Some of the high school students also think that having a positive profile on the social media site is linked to their future image on others. <br />
<br />
<b>An increasing trend in the online learning: </b><br />
Students mostly opt for the online courses because they have an interest in the learning opportunities which can give them more control over the learning. They believe that they will have further support of the online teachers. <br />

Children do not know how to talk about what they feel, so instead, they will to lash out inappropriately and often physically. In order to combat this, you need to give your children the tools to properly name and handle their emotions.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Sad Boy" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTODqVABzFmTPTrSqs50RIMRmhuVwU8yAMAp6wtMaNpxFVepsUdk3rfieGcGWVsk6aH_YSlA9NwWsWNPr9GaeCCl7ESg3Q6rj6EIgM3SNgWGl51MLmvfEJY21gZzdZhwLKR2Q/s1600/Sad+Boy.jpg" title="Sad Boy" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Name the Emotions</b>
<br />
Most children lash out because they don’t understand what they are feeling. You need to help them label their emotions so that they can properly handle them. Here are a few methods to help you teach your children about emotions.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<ul>
<li>Children’s books — There are many books that name each of the emotions in terms that children can understand. Find a few at your local library or bookstore, and read them with your children.</li>
<li>Songs — Learn a song about feelings that you can teach to your kids. If you don’t like any that you find, go ahead and make up your own by changing the words to a nursery rhyme.</li>
<li>Cartoon characters— When you read stories or watch movies with your children, take the time to identify the character’s emotions. Ask your child what they think that they’re feeling, and then see if they can make a face that expresses the same emotion.</li>
<li>Real life — Whenever your child experiences frustrating, challenging, or even happy moments, turn it into a teaching moment. Explain to them what they are feeling and help them through it. If it’s impossible to talk to them in the moment, you may need to bring it up in a few hours or even the next day to help them understand what happened.
</li>
</ul>
<img alt="Girl shout" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizQQe5Ihj62gmE3wwlyiEJEL7rEazlDFAZ43Mx7qYZblVIxjbCpV5HqzYVNozainwjTEZZSZyzRbcqXH1t4G1jKdixy1eYqpvpFVWgr_5rAkiqj4xLCmr-m5n8L3jb4Q00PeiE/s1600/Girl+shout.jpg" title="Girl shout" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>2. Handle the Emotion</b>
<br />
Once your child knows how to put a name to their emotions, they need to know how to handle those emotions. Your job as a parent is to give your child the tools needed to be able to communicate and express their emotions safely and effectively. Make sure that you let them know that it is not bad to feel emotions, but it is bad to act on them in inappropriate ways (ie hitting, biting, throwing things, etc.). Always praise your child when they attempt to communicate and express their emotions in healthy ways. Here are a few methods that are helpful when dealing with emotions. Find one that works for you and your child.
<br />
<ul>
<li>Count to 10
</li>
<li>Blow out your fingers like candles
</li>
<li>Remove yourself from the situation
</li>
<li>Use a calm down jar
</li>
<li>Hug it out (if your child is ok with physical touch)
</li>
<li>Go to timeout or a “peace corner” for a few moments
</li>
<li>Listen to relaxing music
</li>
<li>Make a feelings thermometer or feelings chart and have your point to the emotion that they are feeling
</li>
<li>Scream into a pillow
</li>
<li>Color a picture
</li>
<li>Do 15 jumping jacks
</li>
<li>Sing a calming song
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>3. Model Healthy Behavior</b>
<br />
Your child learns how to handle different situations by watching you. It is important that you model healthy ways to handle emotions so that your children can also learn how to handle their emotions. Whatever you teach your child, implement in your own life. For example, if you implement timeouts for your child, you should take a timeout as well when you feel your emotions rising. Let your child know what you are doing so that later they can model your behavior.

<b>4. Properly Discipline</b>
<br />
The word discipline means “to teach.” You need to teach your child that there are consequences to their actions. When your child does act out, you have to give them consequences that are equal to the act in order to teach them that what they do does have consequences. It is important that you are firm yet reasonable in your decisions. Remember that every child is different, and it is necessary for you to parent each child differently. Don’t give into tantrums, but don’t ground them for a year every time that they have one. Sometimes it will be necessary to create a diversion to distract your child from the situation or have them leave the room. Remember, practice makes perfect. Don’t get discouraged if you haven’t yet figured out what works best for your child, with a little patience, you will figure it out.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-87652392225928346742016-07-07T06:47:00.003-07:002016-07-07T06:49:48.855-07:00How to Sleep Better at Night (Even With Kids)Do you find yourself tossing and turning every night? Is it hard for you to fall asleep at night and then even harder to wake up in the morning? You are not alone. Studies show that ⅓ of Americans show at least one sign of insomnia, and at least 10% suffer from a chronic insomnia disorder. If you feel like your nights are restless, here are some tips and tricks to help you get a better night’s rest.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Hgt3z9rthCudnV5wGjNTPJxh7hVQKWrb_y0fzueNO_F-FuPdpNdQphmOeRslVmZ6m8HYyM4INlgj217kDvpeIgMZy8ouB-4mcYR5Z_53MsIycU7dvZDcgUwbBIaVlo2Ort7U/s1600/Insomnia+Night.jpg" title="Insomnia Night" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Put Away Electronics</b>
<br />
The tempting little blue screen full of facebook notifications are actually keeping you up at night. The light emitted by most electronics can halt or slow the production of melatonin, even if you do put it on the night mode. You should set a strict curfew for your electronics, and put them away at least one hour before you climb into bed.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Limit Your Naps</b>
<br />
Avoid taking long naps if you would like to sleep well at night. If you take long naps during the day (longer than 30 minutes) to try and make up for missed time, you will actually make it harder for you to sleep at night. However, short power naps can actually help you sleep better at night as long as you limit them to 10 or 15 minutes, and don’t nap after 4 pm. Take naps on couches and other places so that you aren’t tempted to sleep for too long.
<br />
<br />
<b>Only Use Your Bed for Sleep and Intimacy</b>
<br />
If you use your bed to surf the web, watch TV, work, etc., then you are ruining your sleep, and causing a condition called delayed circadian rhythm. Your bed will start to trigger alertness rather than sleep. Reserve your bed for sleeping and intimacy or a better night’s rest.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxHi9n0Mx0cnimqT6OVUEqGOM21Xvruw-NgpjHAg4lzZ9JlKH3v_0-G09uBkHoT6D6OUdDTX-1fa0JhMweCZAWwTq7T7PC-gOiCvvf_8sX0aET2Lhy-2ZUKHzWTP7qYgEdpxuf/s1600/Sleeping+with+dog.jpg" title="Sleeping with dog" width="400">
<br />
<br />
<b>Keep a Bedtime Schedule</b>
<br />
It is imperative that you create a consistent bedtime schedule for yourself. If you have an inconsistent sleep schedule (especially if you sleep in on weekends), you can experience symptoms of jet lag. The more inconsistent your schedule, the worse the symptoms will be. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time even on weekends and during vacations.
<br />
<br />
<b>Set a Nighttime Routine</b>
<br />
You should take ample time to prepare for bed every night. Create a consistent nighttime ritual that will help you sleep at night that includes brushing your teeth, dimming the lights, and maybe reading a book or doing a few gentle stretches. It may also be useful to associate something with sleeping, such as a specific pillow or a scent (lavender is a great bedtime smell) to help you relax at night.
<br />
<br />
<b>Be Careful What You Drink</b>
<br />
You should limit caffeine and alcohol right before you go to bed, as they can keep you up at night. The effects of caffeine and alcohol can cause sleep issues up to ten hours after drinking it. You should also avoid drinking a lot of water right before you go to bed, as it might cause you to wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Lower Your Lights</b>
<br />
Light is a natural signal that tells your body when it is time to go to sleep or wake up. Low light tells your brain to make melatonin, while high levels of light causes your body to release cortisol. However, artificial light tells your body to produce the wrong hormones at night, keeping you up late and ruining your sleep. If you have an irregular schedule, it may be a good idea to get blackout shades, as suggested <a href="http://wasatchshutter.com/6-uses-for-blackout-shades/">here</a> to block out the light so that you can rest.
<br />
<br />
<b>Go to Bed Earlier</b>
<br />
Having an early bedtime is better for your health for many reasons. It can help reduce anxiety, irritability, and stress, make you more productive, help you sleep better at night, and help you stay healthy. Plan to give yourself at least 8 hours of sleep, and taking about 15 to 30 minutes to wake up, so go to bed 8.5 hours before you want to wake up.
<br />
<br />
<b>Stop Worrying</b>
<br />
Many people have a hard time sleeping because their mind goes a million miles a minute. If you are one of those people, it is important that you relax as part of your bedtime ritual. Quiet your mind by taking a “mental vacation,” drinking some tea, taking deep breaths, reading a book, listening to music, etc. Find something that works for you, and do it every night. Pretty soon your mind will take that as a cue to go to sleep, and you will start falling asleep faster each night.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-37387220244972931332016-06-06T22:18:00.001-07:002016-06-06T22:59:56.025-07:005 Affordable International Destinations for FamiliesTraveling can be one of the most fulfilling ways to spend your time, but it can also cost quite a bit of money beyond the cost of airfare if you aren’t careful. For this reason, it can be helpful to look for travel destinations where the exchange rate makes the costs of food and lodging minimal. Here is a look at five different travel destinations that won’t drain your bank account once you get there.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjokxKXQ-nLnE7lxPVWE2Ak3y_TqIS6rGC67wdUBk5SYpfp21enzBN6XEyCgFMkDE4lxqjuTETwkpaRT8FU6ooV6gkOdxApXdShr8s9gj6EKDBxfoia2-a2Mg8pUx-oINw_wnP4/s1600/Suspended+Bridge+at+Monteverde%252C+Costa+Rica.jpg" alt="Suspended Bridge at Monteverde, Costa Rica" title="Suspended Bridge at Monteverde, Costa Rica" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Costa Rica</b><br />
Costa Rica has long been a go-to travel destination for Americans because of its diverse landscape, numerous outdoor adventure activities, and unique local dishes. In Costa Rica, you’ll find jungles, mountains, and beaches, all to give your trip some good variety. Costa Rican colóns have been decreasing in value against the U.S. dollar for the past several decades, meaning that your U.S. dollars will go further here. (You’ll get between 500 and 550 colóns per $1 USD there, compared with only about 360 colóns just a few years ago.)
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Still, Costa Rica is one of the more expensive travel destinations in Central America. Nearby Central American countries like El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua will be even more of a bargain, even allowing you to travel on less than $30 USD per day. As an added bonus, you’ll likely see far fewer tourists in these countries.<br />
<br />
A typical budget roundtrip flight from New York to Costa Rica will cost you between $400 and $500 USD.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQjxpzSm7UXNOd-LUycoxeYUpNFN7GKMsgIuDQjICkffQH9J6mpEcwMQ4U51pAfWdKfSxM4eqJ6LrJ-6zqvVPNc6tLyhkDH9nHCa8U621VJCDCL25U3jkRJZMSZssH9rBsH3aO/s1600/Phu+Chi+Fa%252C+Thailand.jpg" alt="Phu Chi Fa, Thailand" title="Phu Chi Fa, Thailand" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Thailand</b><br />
Want to travel to Asia instead? Thailand is becoming an increasingly popular travel destination because of how affordable it is to travel once you’re there. You’ll get about 36 <a href="http://treasuryvault.com/currencies/thailand-baht">baht</a> for $1 USD, and a typical large meal will cost you between 60 and 200 baht ($1.68 and $5.61 USD). In Thailand, you’ll find beautiful beaches, incredible landscapes, impressive Buddhist temples, diverse wildlife, unique and luxurious accommodations, and a myriad of dishes to try.
<br /><br />
A typical budget roundtrip flight from New York to Bangkok will cost you between $700 and $900 USD. So it’s still expensive to get there, of course, but the cost of traveling once you’re in the country will be pleasantly low.
<br /><br />
Other nearby and affordable destinations are Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjn_MfGUa3IKstmiYO-mofAsW6nqgvMOOD6YN7Eq3R1Q_iWoFe8lrYBIfLPqxTSABVcsjsynVos03_EvV3WzEW8_IHtBPOX-8hTYXPwoPQiPWmVMboJSN6ZMOOO3ToJnz9e8de/s1600/Harbor+in+Hvar+town%252C+Croatia.jpg" alt="Harbor in Hvar town, Croatia" title="Harbor in Hvar town, Croatia" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Croatia</b><br />
If you’ve always dreamed of going to Italy but found that you could never quite afford it, Croatia could be a great option for you. (It also happens to be just across the Adriatic Sea from Italy.) Its beautiful beach resort towns are a popular destination for travelers, and you’ll want to check out places like Plitvice Lakes National Park and Pula (where you’ll find an impressive Roman colosseum) as well while you’re there. Croatia is more expensive than other Balkan countries and countries located further east; but food is still relatively cheap (for Europe) here, and travelers to Croatia generally agree that you’re getting a good value for your money when you’re there. Other more affordable nearby destinations are Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Macedonia.
<br /><br />
A typical budget roundtrip flight from New York to Zagreb will still cost you between $700 and $900 USD, so you’ll want to save up for the airfare.
<br />
<br />

<br /><br />
<b>Morocco</b><br />
Want to head to Africa on your next adventure? Morocco continues to be a popular tourist destination, and if you avoid ultra-touristy locations like Djeema El Fna square in Marrakech, you can actually have quite the affordable stay here, spending as little as $30 per day if you stay at budget hotels and hostels. Morocco is probably the most stable and secure country in northern Africa, so you can get a good taste of the region without worrying as much about safety. Popular things to do include exploring the old cities (especially Marrakech), taking in the natural gorges, and riding camels in the Sahara.
<br /><br />
A typical budget roundtrip flight from New York to Morocco will cost between $700 and $900 USD, so this is one to save up for.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Bolivia</b><br />
If you want to head a little further south than Costa Rica, Bolivia is a good place to go. Bolivia is home to the Andes Mountains, Lake Titicaca, impressive salt flats, tropical lowlands, and so much more. You can find a place in a hostel for about $15 and travel on just $25 per day. Other popular and affordable places to travel in South America (assuming you research budget-friendly travel options) are Peru and Ecuador.
<br /><br />
A typical budget roundtrip flight from New York to Bolivia will run between $650 and $750 USD.

Sending your kids out to weed is the surest way to make them hate gardening, but these 8 activities will instill a love for planting in their hearts.

<br />
<br />
<b>Homemade Chia Pet</b><br />
Do you remember those terracotta chia pets that you saw on TV? You can make homemade chia pets with your kids. A few ideas are the bottle pet, and the painted pot. If you are using an old bottle, cut it in half (and smooth out the edges), and then glue googly eyes and a nose onto the bottle. If you are painting pots, use paint and stickers to create faces and animals on your kid’s pots. Then plant plants based on the type of hair you want your creations to have. For example, aloe vera works well for a spiky hairdo while grass makes nice, easy-to-style hair.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Mini Fairy Gardens</b><br />
Set aside a small area of your garden or a designated half-gallon garden planter for your kids to create a mini-fairy garden for visiting fairies. Plant little flowers to keep the fairies in the shade, and lay down little pebbles to create walkways for your little friends. If you can, find little houses and other furniture for visiting fairies. Visit craft stores to see if you can find little things to spruce up your fairy gardens.<br />
<br />
<b>Put Them In Charge of Easy Plants</b><br />
Put your kids in charge of the easy plants so that they can experience the fruits of their labors. Plants that are good for kids are those with large seeds and that germinate quickly (to cut down on the waiting time). Good plants to grow with your kids are: pumpkins, sunflowers, radishes, wildflowers, snow peas, lettuce, and carrots. Other fun plants are: lamb’s ear, venus flytraps, and hens and chicks.
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLO2npDKq3ilD8ARUhXk4MYEABd0Z2rbhk175F8jYUHuhV8ZtDveawZE8OEUonIZhZxlzYKokjW_1bhOmo2VgK0jb-RYMjBpv6PxE-WT6B_sAP5ELeIoHEJNyk3ys2jz8qJUX1/s1600/Introducing+Your+Kids+to+Gardening2.jpg" title="Small Gardening" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Create a Small Flower Garden</b><br />
Instead of having your kids help you out in your garden (and have them risk accidentally weeding your plants or becoming overwhelmed with the size of the garden), give them a small flower box for them to tend. Teach them how to care for the plants, how to weed the garden, how often it needs to be watered, etc. Easy plants to care for are petunias, zinnias, cone flowers, and lantanas. Of course, you can always just go to the store and let them pick their own flowers so that they are more excited about their plants.
<br />
<br />
<b>Germinate Plants in a Paper Towel</b><br />
If you want your kids to be able to watch seeds grow, germinate a few in paper towels so that they can watch the seeds sprout. Soak your paper towels in water, and then place a few seeds on the towel, and seal them up in a plastic bag. Just make sure that you put a few seeds on each towel, in case some don’t grow. The best seeds to grow are sunflowers, peas, and beans.
<br />
<br />
<b>Window Boxes</b><br />
If you want to do a fun gardening project, but don’t have the space outdoors, you can create window boxes with your children. The first thing you’ll need to do is decide which window you’ll be putting your box in. Find one that offers plenty of sunlight and has a large enough sill to host your window box. After that, you need to decide what box you want to plant in. Find something cute and that fits the rest of your home decor, as well as something your kids like. Select easy plants to grow such as pansies, petunias, impatiens, and herbs.

<br />
<br />
<b>Create Seed Bombs</b><br />
If you have a big empty lot near your home, create seed bombs to reseed the area. Pick seeds that are native to your location (annual and perennial flowers are always a good idea). Mix 2 parts potting soil, 5 parts pottery clay, 2 parts water, and 2 parts seeds. Roll the mixture into balls about ½” to 1” in size. If the seeds you have picked need light to germinate, attach them to the outside of the balls rather than mixing them in. After you have made your bombs, take them out to your vacant lots and empty fields and start making your town a better place.
<br />
<br />
<b>Felt Gardening</b><br />
If your kids are too little to join you out in the garden, get a small felt garden for your kids to practice planting and harvesting. You can purchase one on etsy, or you can make your own. Use jersey cotton, felt, cotton batting, and a sewing machine or hot glue to create little vegetables, dirt, and a cardboard box to put it all in.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37003942.post-20870720657839196782016-04-11T20:19:00.000-07:002016-04-11T20:43:08.616-07:00Helping Your Kids Feel Better About MovingMoving can be a very stressful experience. There are a lot of little details that must be managed, and it can often seem overwhelming to the adults who must pick up their entire life and put it somewhere else. However, it can be just as overwhelming to the children in a family who is moving, and perhaps even more so, as these changes often feel even more momentous to a kid. While it is another thing to throw onto the list of things that adults must worry about when they are moving, it is incredibly important to keep the feelings of your children into consideration when you move. Here are some tips to help you children feel better about moving...<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrhJeRHr7D1ENb-sYEp8IxIIFuhegsy0ouJfiqH_DF_rElWYQ7qg4IBY3vJpb_z74vAAWMSphbhBuBAAuJAvhXACBVGcfM3gu8q42b5tlH4A1OwCUlBLnSJ_rJpafPFeAv9XO6/s400/Helping+Your+Kids+Feel+Better+about+Moving+pic+1.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Listen to their concerns</b><br />
It is hard to underestimate the power that simply listening to someone can have. This is especially true, when it comes to children. Take your kids aside after you tell them that you are moving and talk to them about how they are feeling about it. Ask them if there are any concerns that they have, but also be sure to goad them into talking about the aspects that they are excited about. This will make your kids feel that they are being heard, and lets you get a chance to see inside their heads and get an idea for how they are feeling. If a child feels like they don’t matter, in these situations, it can feel soul crushing and make them feel as though they don’t matter.
<b> </b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Make sure your move goes smoothly</b><br />
If a move is rocky and stressful, it makes the whole situation that much more difficult for a child to accept. Making sure that moving goes smoothly, and the transition into your new home is positive will attach good feelings with their new place, and help them begin to fairly process this new environment. There are many aspects to making sure that a move goes over smoothly, but one of the most important things is to just be prepared and make detailed plans.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Make them feel it is an adventure</b><br />
While it can be very scary, moving to an entirely new place is definitely a great adventure! There are so many things to explore and learn, as well as interesting people to meet. There are countless places to live around the world, and each of them has their own little quirks that makes living there a unique experience. Help your child to see this opportunity for what it is: another adventure! You can even go as far as making the entire process of moving feel like a game. Keeping a fun, positive vibe will keep your child from fretting and stewing about having to leave their old home behind, and build excitement for all of the things around the corner.<br />
<br />
<b>If you can, take them to the neighborhood, beforehand</b><br />
A new neighborhood is a new experience, but this can often seem very overwhelming, through the eyes of a child. This is especially true if the child doesn’t get to experience much of this new place before they have to leave their old home and settle into somewhere they aren’t familiar with. This process can be eased, however, by taking your child to see where they are going several times before you move. This isn’t always a possibility, depending on the details of the move, but should always be done if it is an option. Go explore the new neighborhood and show them what is in store for them. Make them feel as if they have a really good grasp of where they are going before they are thrust into this new place.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Find events and activities outside of school</b><br />
One of the most terrifying parts of moving to a new place, for a child, is having to start at a new school. However, your child’s entire social existence shouldn’t be dependent on school. This is a great time to find other activities for your child to participate in, outside of school. This will help them find other kids with their same interests. On top of that, look for neighborhood events for your whole family to participate in, as this is an important step towards your child feeling welcome in their new home.

This is one reason why structure works to effectively on young children, and it’s why having the same schedule every day is so often emphasized in elementary education. In order to help build structure into your children’s lives, it’s important to help them develop routines that they’ll get used to practicing at the same time on a daily basis. Here are five important routines that you’ll want to help your children develop as habit from a young age.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Brushing their teeth</b><br />
Considering the fact that a whopping one in four adults doesn’t brush at least twice a day, getting your kids into the habit of brushing their teeth regularly (and for the recommended amount of time) from a young age is ultra-important. This includes helping them navigate how to still brush their teeth even when they find themselves without one (which is all-too-common if your children ever go to sleep-over at friends’ houses)—so that they don’t ever find reason to skip brushing their teeth. This article offers some suggestions for what to do when you find yourself without a toothbrush.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Getting ready in the morning</b><br />
Along with helping instill in your children a strong habit of brushing teeth, it’s a good idea to help them develop a regular morning routine as well. This should be a well rounded routine that will involve, for example, brushing first thing in the morning, eating a nutritious breakfast, putting on clothing that was laid out the night before, and getting school things together before heading out the door. The regularity of the routine will help streamline the process of getting ready in the morning, instill wholesome habits of brushing teeth and eating well, and—perhaps most importantly—it can help instill punctuality as you and your child leave at the same early time each morning.

<br />
<br />
<b>After-school studying</b><br />
Studying is another habit that many children are lacking in as they progress through schooling, as it is often expected of them to develop their own study habits for test prep. A great way to introduce them to consistent, daily studying is to practice various methods of studying with them. You might, for example, teach them how to create flashcards for their vocabulary words, and then show them how to find practice math problems to work on when preparing for a math test. Help your children develop diligent study routines that start the moment they get home from school. This article about avoiding paper writing procrastination offers some great insights on how to avoid putting off writing so that studying after school can become routine for your children.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Family dinner</b><br />
This is one routine that you yourself might have to put some extra effort into developing. Some of the most bonding family experiences happen around the dinner table, so it’s great to develop a home routine where the family gathers around the dinner table at a semi-regular time each day. This is a great time to have family conversations, teach dinner etiquette, and teach table manners (such as not using phones at the table).
<br />

<br />
<b>Getting ready for bed</b><br />
Similar to the routine of getting ready in the morning, it’s a good idea to help your children develop a regular routine for getting ready for bed. Your children might, for example, shower each night after dinner, then brush their teeth, and then read for about 30 minutes before going to sleep. Developing this routine will help your children develop a strong sense of self-hygiene, and the regularity of the routine could even help them fall asleep faster.
<br />
<br />
<b>Weekly chores</b><br />
Weekly chores are another at-home routine that you’ll want to develop a schedule for with your children. It’s often a good idea to create a “chore chart” where tasks, and the child who performs each task, differs by week. Find a system that works for your household, and soon your children will already be preparing for eventually living out on their own.

With winter comes an entirely new set of health risks for both you and your children, so it’s important to be prepared. Here are some of the most common children’s health risks that you’ll want to watch out for this winter.
<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixrPirKASNIcksygXjC-ExIbp7AA6WIC9bi5WKn28FNSx_WuSHt-0siOHsNNILuFCX5GfGmBkmGO6wrP48BTUTmk3gFEUO0mKuFuLpwLWuQCRLuxtw8QGebzvSBGLIyIDNZzCe/s400/Childrens+Health+Risks+to+Watch+Out+For+this+Winter+2.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<br />
<b>Common Cold</b><br />
There is still debate over why it is that colds are more common during the winter, though it may very well have to do with the fact that cold weather tends to bring people indoors, in closer proximity with one another. Whatever the reason, you need to take extra precaution during the winter season to ensure that your child stays cold-free. Take the usual precautions, such as regular, thorough hand washing; not touching the eyes, nose, mouth, or ears; and sterilizing surfaces in the home frequently. In addition, ensuring that your child eats a healthy breakfast and stays hydrated throughout the day is always a good idea.<br />
<a name='more'></a>
<br />
<b>Flu</b><br />
Just like the common cold, the flu spreads more easily during the winter months. If your child is 6 months or old, he or she should get an influenza vaccine to reduce the risk of catching the flu. Flu vaccines can also significantly reduce flu symptoms in cases when your child might still contract the flu. It’s better to have your child get the flu vaccine sooner rather than later, as the peak of flu season occurs during the months of January, February, and March.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Hypothermia</b><br />
Hypothermia occurs when a child’s internal temperature falls below normal due to heavy exposure to colder temperatures. This can happen when a child is playing outdoors in extremely cold weather on a snowy day, without wearing proper attire or while wearing wet clothing. Signs of hypothermia include lethargy and clumsiness, and in more extreme cases your child might exhibit slurred speech or a declining internal body temperature. Call 911 immediately if your child exhibits any of these symptoms. To keep your child safe from hypothermia, be sure that your child wears several thin layers, plus warm boots, gloves, and a hat before heading outside. Since children can develop hypothermia more quickly than adults do, a good rule of thumb is dress your child in one more layer than you would wear. Be sure that your child stays dry, as well, coming indoors to change into new, dry layers as needed. It’s also a good idea to set time limits for playing outdoors, having your child come indoors at certain times to eat and warm up.<br />
<br />
<b>Frostbite</b><br />
Frostbite occurs when your child’s skin and outer tissues become frozen, and it tends to happen in extremities such as the fingers, toes, nose, and ears. Your child may complain that his or her skin feels as though it is burning or becoming numb. In more extreme cases, the skin might become pale, gray, or blistered. Of course, it’s best to prevent frostbite from happening altogether by ensuring that your child is always wearing the proper attire. Should frostbite occur, you can treat less serious cases by gently immersing your child’s hands or toes in warm (not hot) water. You can also apply a warm washcloth to the affected area, but be sure not to rub the affected area. Should the frostbite continue after treatment, or should your child have a more serious case of frostbite, you should call a doctor immediately.

<br />
<br />
<b>Nosebleeds</b><br />
Nosebleeds are common in children during the winter because of the dry air that winter brings. If your child regularly gets nosebleeds, try using a cold air humidifier in your child’s room at night. Saline drops and petroleum jelly can also help keep the nose tissue moist. As always, you should consult a doctor in more severe circumstances.
<br />
<br />
<b>Sunburn</b><br />
It may be winter, but that doesn’t mean that your child need not worry about getting sunburn. Sunburn can happen on any day of the year—even on cloudy days—and it is especially common on days when there is snow on the ground, as the snow will reflect sunlight. As a safe measure, cover exposed areas of your child’s skin with sunscreen, especially if your child is going to be skiing, snowboarding, tubing, or playing in the snow.
As <a href="http://www.drskedros.com/eating-and-exercise/">this article</a> mentions, it's important for kids to eat right and stay hydrated.

Your child’s favorite TV show, character, and even favorite color can change almost daily as their friends at school give them new ideas. While peer pressure can seem harmless, if you don’t give your kids proper tools to combat it while they are young, they can end up succumbing to it on serious issues like trying drugs or alcohol (studies show that 55% of teens begin using cocaine due to peer pressure). No matter what age your children are, you need to begin teaching them skills to combat peer-pressure today. Read below for tips to help you teach your kids how to say no.<br /><br />
<img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIoojrfYlsG_ceMAVHpfnPusyS2ih4l4hwIz_bUcIKpmmant3Moj1ba0j1wLPvFdmhC7mX6p0zkKoPwvnqeL3NOHa3ouHpzLpjQ4ky0C1f-Ce9uLByKtBcsZhncdf2KgH9bNb/s400/Teaching+Your+Kids+to+Resist+Peer+Pressure+%25282%2529.jpg" title="Talk to children" width="400" />
<br /><br />
<b>Talk to Them</b><br />
<br />
While this tip may seem obvious, the best thing that you can do to prepare your children to combat peer pressure is to talk to them. Find out what is going on in their lives, what is popular at school, the kinds of things they are interested in, etc. Have age appropriate conversations about what hardships they may be experiencing at school and with their friends. Bring up drugs and alcohol in your regular conversations, and let your kids know that you would like them to avoid those things. Studies show that children are less likely to engage in risky behaviors such doing drugs or drinking alcohol if their parents talk to them about it. Ask them about their experience with drugs, whether they are exposed to it in the media, if they have friends that talk about or do drugs, etc. Make sure that the conversation is a conversation between the two of you and not a lecture. Really listen to the things that your kids have to say.
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b><br />Know Their Friends</b><br />
<br />
Encourage your kids to bring their friends over to your home. Get to know them by name, and find out what they like to do. Ask your child’s friends questions about their lives. If you do not have the luxury of meeting your child’s friends in person, learn their names and ask about them regularly. Be observant of how your child and their friends act, and notice any subtle changes in dress, appearance, or attitude. Don’t be too nosy, but be present when your children’s friends come over. If you feel like one of your child’s friends is a bad influence on them, sit down with your child and explain the situation to him or her. Let them know that what you are saying is said out of love and concern, not because you are trying to control them. <br />
<br />
<b>Set Rules</b>
<br />
<br />
Have firm, established rules in your household. Children and teenagers need to know what their limits are and how to meet your expectations. Depending on their age, you can involve them in making the rules. Of course, teenagers will have more freedom than your toddler, and they also will have more to say regarding the rules. Involving your children in the rulemaking process will help them to take responsibility for their behavior. Just make sure that you have the final say on the rules. Have a list of “do” rules such as “be home by curfew, wear your seatbelt, talk politely to each other, etc.” and a list of “don’t” rules like “don’t get into a car with a friend who has been drinking, don’t spit, don’t look at inappropriate things online, etc.” Make sure that every rule has a consequence if broken. Also make sure that the consequences are appropriate for the broken rule. For example, don’t ground your child for six weeks if they leave their coat out on the living room floor, but it may be appropriate to bump their curfew up by 15 minutes if they consistently break it.<br />

<br /><br />
<b>Teach Them How to Say No</b><br />
<br />
The most important thing you can teach your child when it comes to peer pressure is how to say no. However, simply saying the word “no” isn’t always good enough when it comes to peer pressure. Teach them peer refusal skills: ask a question (figure out what is going on), name the trouble (that’s…), state the consequence (if we do that, then….), suggest an alternative (instead, let’s go…), move it sell it leave the door open (get out of there, but allow your friends to join you later if they choose). If your child is under pressure, teach them to stay calm, say the person’s name, make eye contact, take a breath, and use the skills above. Make sure to stress the importance of getting out of the situation. Let them know that if they need to, they can call you and you will come pick them up.<br />
<br />
Play a “what would you do” game and help your child plan out what they would do in certain situations. For example: “You are at a sleepover, and one of your friends wants to show you a movie on the internet that he found. He said that the movie makes him feel really good, and tells you that you have to promise not to tell anyone about the movie. What would you do?” Learn more about how teens start doing drugs because of <a href="http://therapia.net/content/understanding-cocaine-addiction">peer pressure</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer">The Resource for teaching children to read.</div>ThanateTanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465790456069310450noreply@blogger.com0
