How to Handle Teasing

One of the major causes of fighting especially to our boys is teasing. Some of the pupils and playmates of our kids take teasing very personally and they get upset. If you are one of the students or one that suffer teasing from your playmates by name calling this means that our children or the one concern needs to build up tease tolerance. There are negative and untrue thoughts which cause people to become upset when they are being teased.

One on these negative teases and untrue thought is “because I am being teased, no one likes me.” While it might seem that people who teased you do not like you is not always the case. There are many reasons why some of our friends and classmates might tease you. First, you react badly and show you are upset so they pick on you to see if they can upset you. Second, some people teased to be “cool”. Third, they teased for the reason that everyone is teasing. None of these reasons has anything to do with whether or not you are liked.

Have you ever teased someone you like? Of course, you have. Make sure that we understand that being teased generally has nothing to do with whether people like you or not. (There may be one or two people who for the reason that they dislike you tease you, but they will an exception, rather than the rule.) The second negative untrue thought is because “I am being teased, I am hopeless because some call me stupid, I am stupid.” It is ridiculous t rate ourselves as bad, no good in the eyes of the people simply because someone calls us a name. No one opinion is as important as that.

A final negative thought which can really upset you if you are being teased is, I cannot stand being teased, even thought you might hate it. We must remember the old saying that “Sticks of stone can break my bones but words cannot hurt me.” To put some end to teasing, we must do two things: keep thinking to ourselves

One – just because they teased me does not mean they hate me. W are likable and capable. While we do not like being teased, we can stand it.

Second – Ignore the teasing. Never pay any attention to it. Do not show you are upset. If we can ignore teasing for at least ten days, it will start to go away, however, we must prepared for it to get worse before it can get better. When the teasers see that it has no much effect on us they will eventually stop.

My Son’s Friends Smoke

Early this school year when I found out that the very good friend of my 10 year old son is already smoking. I am afraid that my son will do the same when in fact he is still in his younger age and I want him to be aware of it. I am asking to myself on how do I make sure that my son will not take up this kind of habit. I made some research in the net, read books and ask friends advice on what to do and what necessary action will I make just for the good health of my son, because I personally don’t like my son to smoke even if they are already in their exact age. Maybe you cannot blame me as a concern mother but all parents wants the best for their children.

One good friend told me that, we need to teach our children self-confidence, show them our love and concern. We are very sure that everyone has waxed lyrical about the negative effects of smoking for one’s health, but when it comes to our teens, showing them the good example still works.

There are many reasons why some of the teenagers are engage in smoking. Some are influence by smokers within the family. Therefore we must be sure that no one in the family smokes. Others are engage in smoking thought their curiosity, peer pressure and poor self-stem. Increasing our child’s ability to discern what is right and wrong in their early age and boost their self-stem and self confidence. We must teach them to resist their pressure.

I thought being a mom that is new in child smoking, is that I cannot resist the emotion and don’t even know on what to do. But, with help of the books, the net and the friends around me, I am now ready to face the reality in life and how to be strong and teach my kid to be aware of those addicting smokes.

Feelings Do Matter Most

Sometimes in our daily lives, watching movies, especially drama or comedy makes experience us varying kinds of feelings and emotions. Sadness, joy, disgust, love, contempt and etc. and perhaps we can be moved emotionally as to shed some precious tears. Yes, sad movies make us cry and most of us are not really good in hiding our feelings. If we cannot show it we are most likely to tell someone else because we feel we have to.

My feelings got the better of me. Maybe we need to ask our selves that how often we hear some people say, apologetically, especially when they are moved to act kindly or courageously. Yet our feelings show the other side of our humanity. What is a person without feelings? Perhaps we can compare it to a robot. Feelings are the yardstick that makes us happy or sad. Though our feelings sometimes we experience all the range of human emotions, an emotion that is natural and which comes from God. Feelings and intelligence set us differently from animals and I really consider this that feelings are a language that is akin to another human being.

Most of us are not demonstrative in our feelings, not like other liberated countries that they are rather liberated in expressing, kisses, hugs, path on the shoulder, holding hands especially when they expressed their love to their spouses or to their children. However, in my family with a brood of six, we can easily sense when someone is in trouble, on top of the world or in the dumps. We all know when somebody is happy sad, or frustrated. I remember when my younger brother passed the Engineering board Exam, he was so happy and proud that we all rejoice in his good fortune by cooking especial foods for a celebration and it was our way of saying that we are happy for our brother and we are very proud of him even though sometimes he is quite slacker in his classes. But I know he is a good boy and I am very proud of my brother.

Well on the other hand, we can only feel sad movies if it is shared by someone else. Happiness can be compared into a mood that comes and goes in no time. Moody is another term for people who are melancholic and sad. Yes, feelings do matter most, feelings are natural. Yet feelings from the depth of our personality, shaped by a life of time of experience, provide a reliable and almost automatic self guidance system. In my one last analysis, however, the only way we can have a meaningful relationship with someone else is to share our feelings.

My Students School Performance

School year was already done and students can now take their summer vacation and enjoy playing and whatever they want in life to make use of the summer vacation an enjoyable one. Just this morning I got the results of my students performance for the whole year end and their teachers gave a note signed with the school principal about their achievements in school. I’ve read that my kids are honor students and the other one child will receive a special award as a Best Cab Scout of the Year. I am happy for his performance at least he did his best just to give his parents a reward after a whole year of sacrifices. It is not an academic award but I know that my son has a capability and have a good academic performance and it is okay for me. Anyway they are still kids and I know that when they reach their college life they can achieve a good performance for they have a hidden talents that they can use in the near future.

We as parents, we know that they have a good minds and we know if they have a capability to reach what we are planning for their future. We cannot empowered what our children wants but all we can do is guide them to the way of righteousness so that they can have a better future, because that is the only way that we can leave them in case of we are out in this beautiful world. Education plays the important part of our children because without education they cannot get a better job that every parent wanted to happen to their children.

Most parents are dedicated that their children can finish their studies if possible finish their college with flying colors and have a better future ahead. It is always our aim in life to educate them and give a proper guidance so that they will grow as better children and have fear in God.

With the good performance that my kids are showing now even if they are still young I can see that they have a good future. It is a vital fact that we the parents will support them in whatever they want in life. Parents most of the time are very busy earning for a living, but we will never let our children stay away from school or their education so that they have a better future and can apply for a better job so that they cannot experience a miserable life as what most of the people who are uneducated suffering now. Let’s support them and guide them to be a model person someday.

Couple Turn Out To Be a Family

The vital role of every person is to become a parent. Unfortunately, it is also a role for which we receive little if any preparation. When the baby arrives in a family everyone is very excited, husband and wife are no longer simply a couple, we are now one family. A child gives the light in the family and all decisions must take baby first into consideration.

With the three people in the family, there are responsibilities for alliances, partnerships, and secrets that were not there before during the absence of baby in the house. For one thing that goes on between other twosomes. The alliance between mother and child is quite difference between father and child and this true and proven by me. These alliances are different from the one between mother and father.

When both couple decides of what kind of parents they want to be, we must take into account what kind of family we want to have and start to try some things consistent with the kind of people we are and the kind of baby we have. Parenting attitudes provides us links between individuals’ identity, family practices, and societal rules.

In our society today generations of birth parents represents a new breed. In most cases we have chosen to become parents. Despite of living in a work of social conflicts and change, we accept all the challenges of being a parent or of trying to rear healthy and well adjusted children in our community. However, there are lots of parents today who receive little in the way of preparation for child rearing other than training for a job. Although we may have rather definite ideas about the right and wrong ways of bringing up our children, sometimes we often lack of knowledge in coping up with the challenge confronting our children.

Parents before, when the baby is born they begun to wonder on how they should deal with problems that may arise. Thinking of what kind of discipline should we use. How parents deal with these questions as a child grows up depends on many factors and the nature, and the outcome of our children rearing are heavenly influenced by the relationship between our children and the environment they are living.

Are You Angry?

angry-face

Anger is a strong emotion of displeasure and resentment. It is a feeling of irritation which prompts one to do something bad. Its size depends on two things; the kind of stimulus which arouses the anger and the nature of the person who feels it. It can smolder and burst into flame and result in action or be processes and burn internally.

Anger is a very personal thing. It arises when you feel things are not as you want them to be. We can respond to it in the following ways like suppression of anger may seem good for those around us. But it may be hard on us and may even make you sick. Anger prepares our body for action. If we don’t react to a situation, we build a fire and cut off the draft. Anger may smolder inside us for a long time. This causes tension, a condition we feel all over our body and the solution is the use of reason. Intelligence can convince us that it is time to put out the fire.

The expression of anger may solve the immediate problem facing us. But sometimes anger expressed actively without control and gets us into trouble. The consequences may be far worse than the original problem because our friends may be hurt by this kind of behavior.

When things don’t go well us and we get angry, we should not blame outcome, hard luck or other people. These are negative responses and we will never solve our problem. Look for the real cause and do something constructive about it.

Children Before Going to Bed

My kids from the whole day exposed in school and play they have still time for relaxations and get together with the whole family. But kids after their whole day play and many activities to do, their body have lots of dust and sometimes they are becoming feeling itchy and uncomfortable to move. That’s why I prefer my kids after their dinner and have some relaxations I always take them a shower to fell them comfortable in their sleep and fell relaxed for the whole night long.

They have their time in going to bed specially if there is a class coming for another day. It is very important to them to be trained always in everything they do to let them know that there are things that need to be on time and not all the time is a playing time for them. Every night even without being told they know already what time they will be going to bed not to be over exposed on television and watch their favorite programs.

Before going to bed is always their time to thank God for the whole day guidance and after that sleeping time for both of them? It is always their daily routine and with their young age they know already their rules and regulations to be followed.

Clothes for my Boys

If families have two kids in the house especially all boys like me, is not a problem when it comes to the cloths they are going to wear and the cloth we will be going to buy. I have two boys and they have almost the same in age and there bodies are almost the same, so they can have exchange of cloths and exchange of pants that they like most.

According to the elders that when brothers or sisters that share in everything they makes them more closer than any other brothers and sisters around. I think this is true for charge to experience that my sister and I almost anything that we have we always share and we both close to each other.

This practice is also what I want to become for my two boys, so that when they get older they are closer and understands each others feelings. They are only two and I want them to share and love each other as what every parent wants to happen to their children.

How to Teach Your Children the Importance of Money

Who among us would like to see their children grow up to be financially responsible? Every parent does. We all desire to see our children our children become financially independent someday on adulthood, and able to provide for their own families and secure tier future.

Learning to be financially responsible dies not happen overnight. It is the best way to start while our children are still young, with something as simple as talking them to save or bank their money for the future.

Here are simple tips on how we can help our children the value or the importance of money:
1. Talk about what is for. Small kids may think that money just comes out from the ATM or wallet that is for buying candies. Discuss them that money is for buying for family needs. Tell them also that money is earned and parents work hard to earn money.
2. Since money is hard to earn, families should prioritize paying for their needs first, like food, clothing, tuition fees, transportation, electricity and other monthly important bills. We must tell our children that this is why a budget is necessary; we must prioritize the monthly expense rather than buying unimportant things.
3. Give an allowance. Since people learn by application than by studying the theory, allow our children to learn money matters the practical way, by giving them an allowance. The purpose of giving them an allowance is to teach kids that they can use their money in two ways, either save or spend. And they will find out that if they save, they have more money for tomorrow. By spending they will also learn to choose items carefully. The more expensive item will use up more of their money, leaving them with less. And if they choose the cheaper items, they will have more money left.

These are simple tips on how to teach our children save money for the future and lean the true value and importance of money in our daily living.
