Paying in School is Good for Kids

Paying in school is good for kids because it help build my kids self-esteem. They made fries with other children and adults alike. It was like a transition period before entering a big school. I made sure though I choose good play schools for my children; schools that will play oriented to make learning fun, without pressure or threat, and with good kindhearted teachers. Play schools also need to have structures for learning the basic counting, reading, writing and the same values as our family.

, playing in school is good for kids because they exposed also children to an environment besides the home. Socializing with peers in their age group and enter acting with teachers help develop children’s interest in learning. Playing is an important tool in learning. In playing in schools, kids learn to share, dance, and sing among other things. They also begin to know more about themselves, their individuality, slowly building up their independence and self-confidence.

A love for learning; I was told that at age of 3, 9. It’s too early for my son to enter school. I observed my son and I was waiting for him to say he didn’t want to go to school yet, but he never did. At home, he sings what ever new songs he learn in school and even share it with other kids. One weekend morning, I thought we could wake up late. To my surprise and delight, he woke me up saying mom, wake up “study na tayo.”

Improve social skills, a child benefits more from healthy interaction from us the parents. However, our child who interacts only with a few sets of people may not develop fully socialization skills needed to be able to adjust to different people and situations. I as a stay mom I also enroll my children in play schools, even though I can teach them well in basic concepts and skills. This is because I believe interacting with other kids their age helps my kid’s development.

Always keep in mind that playing in school will only benefit a child who is ready for it. It also helps if both the home and the school work hand in hand so that any learning from school is reinforced at home.

Youngest Child

baby-brother

Youngest child consider as the mascot of the family, because he is the cutest and makes the whole family happy. Youngest child is the center of attraction in the family especially if he makes laugh play with the elders and so with his kuya or his elder brother.

My younger son named Niko Andrei he is cute and according to many that he is a father like son, cute daw and which is correct. (proud mommy). My youngest child Niko, idolizes his kuya and they are very close with each other. He is over protective with his elder brother in school, even during break time his brother always peeps in his classroom if Niko take already his snacks. The youngest child is very protective with the whole family.

Youngest child is rarely the strongest or most capable during childhood, they often carve out a place for themselves by being clever and charming. If you’re the smallest, it’s important to be able to make people like you, and many youngest children develop impressive social skills.

We as the parents we must help our youngest child and our children to

give them attention not only for cute or charming behavior, but also for efforts to do things such as schoolwork or creative projects that she takes seriously.

First Born Child

The first born child is a powerful child because all of the attentions of our both parents are in the first born child. The first born child has a tendency to become an over achiever, but he also has a tendency to rebel, because parents are usually stricter with them, and they are the ones who are given more responsibilities.

I am a mom with two kids and when my husband is on vacation we often go out and have some relaxation just to unwind and enjoy the togetherness of a husband and wife, but when we are out in the house a call on the phone to my kids and call my elder son Patrick Lean, about what was happening back home. We don’t talk to the yaya or nanny, Patrick proudly beams, we talk to him and ask because he know what our eldest son can assess and handle a situation very well.

Though there is a tendency to assign a lot of responsibilities to the eldest child, at least until his siblings are old enough to share in these responsibilities. I advice to my co-parents to be mindful that we give our eldest child enough breathing space, we tend to forget that even though they maybe more responsible. Anyway they are still young. They also need to play. We have to keep in mind that they have their own maturation levels, (yung mas matanda) or what we call the older one. Even they reach the age of 7 or 10 years old they still have their own needs at this stage of development.

The Only Child

only-child

The only child share a lot of characteristic traits of a first born, but these are magnified to a higher degree in the only child. The only child may become a perfectionist to a point that they cannot tolerate mistakes on their part or on the part of others. The only child is usually very structured people who hold very high expectations of them selves and others. Sharing can also be an issue with a child who has never had to share toys with a siblings.

recognition-2009

My sister Loue, a businesswoman and a mom to 4 year old son, says that she and his husband used positive reinforcement to get their only child to share. At first they need to tell to the child to share, but he recounts. Now he finds it easy to share his toys with their cousins. Loue adds that his one and only is very sweet. And she does admit that she and his husband still have to work more on their son independence and need for attention. Her son wants their attention all the time. When their son sees her mom talking to somebody he comes to her mom and insists that she talk only to him.

Being the parent’s center of attention can also bring out other negative behavior. Some kids that are very over protected their child when the are already in school some teachers are hard to adjust and they actually encounter more problems from only children because they are those among whose parents are too strict or over protective. And usually, what they cannot do in house they do in school.

The only child is better than no child. The only child if he or she has a brother or a sister he will enjoy playing even only inside the house for he has a playmate.

Banana-Recommended by Doctor

bananas

A few days past I was not felling better, the whole part of my body was felt uneasy and not a normal one. So I decided to visit my doctor and have some advice on what is happening to me, my doctor advice for some blood examination in order to know what really is the cause of my abnormal felling towards my body, so after the check up and blood examination I went again to my doctor for the reading of the result and we found out that my body is lacking of potassium. That is why I felt something itchy and cram with my whole body.

Banana-recommended by doctor is the best medicine for lack of potassium in our body,

Because of their impressive potassium content, bananas are highly recommended by doctors for patients whose potassium is low. One large banana, about 9 inches in length, packs 602 mg of potassium and only carries 140 calories. That same large banana even has 2 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. No wonder the banana was considered an important food to boost the health of malnourished children!

Bananas may be one also of the best fruits to eat when attempting to lose weight. They are full of nutrients for increased energy and vitality. Bananas are also low in calories and fat, plus they have a high water content and potassium levels.

Eating banana also is good for our healthy bowels, protect from ulcers, improve blood pressure, protection from strokes, and help reduce water retention and the best of all a diet fruit for those who want to loose weight.

Stretching our money is really not an option in this time. With a sluggish economy and high job insecurity, families must make every little coin count. But the task of stretching our money reach as far as it can go need not be hair-raising or unpleasant.

My first step in putting my elasticity in the household centavo is a sound penny-wise philosophy. Many families want to stretch our family centavo coin out of fear for the future and need for security. Being a creative in stretching my monthly budget for the whole month, managing my centavo coin should be a pleasant family experience and can be with the proper philosophy. The following are the ten basic principles;

dollars

1. Make a maintain budget.

2. Honor your commitments.

3. Be accountable.

4. Buy according to principle not fad.

5. Give God a portion of your income.

6. Be fair and selfish with your funds.

7. Limit or destroy the credit card.

8. Avoid debt or over commitment.

9. Control the small purchases.

10. Pray about your money management.

Now that we have a proper understanding of joyful economy, we are ready for a few simple tips on stretching our money. And it is very important for us especially mothers that we know how to budget any centavo coin for the economy that happen in our society today we need to be wise in stretching our money and spending specially when it comes to the needs of the children. Our kids, when we go to a mall or a shopping center they are very happy and choose or get what they like. And we mothers if we don’t know how to budget maybe after shopping when we come back to our home we are already out of budget for the whole month. So, better mothers to save money for the future and stretching our money is very important especially now a days.

Summer in the Philippines

Summer in the Philippines is a perfect place to go. We have a lot of beautiful beaches to go, you can choose anywhere you like. It is a perfect place to enjoy with the whole family especially it is summer vacation and the kids are free to go for they don’t have a class.

One of the beauty spots he in the Philippines is the Boracay beach resort a beautiful beach on the west coast with very fine white sand, particularly near Balabag. The water is quite shallow, however. For snorkeling the east coast is better but beware of rips. There are scores of little sandy bays scattered around the island; they make an attractive alternative to the ever-popular White Beach.

Another one is also a beautiful beaches in my place cebu located in Daan Bantayan. Aside from enjoying a day with the sun, sea and sand, the resort also offers other activities like scuba diving, snorkeling, beach volleyball, boating, water skiing, billiards and table tennis. The resort also has a floating bar. When the sea is calm and there is a sufficient number of guests on board the floating bar, it will be pulled by bancas to circumnavigate the island. It has become a very popular two-hour trip for the guests and it is always fun.

Philippines Summer Vacation

philippines-white-beach

Philippines summer vacation is a very enjoyable place, a place to relaxed and have a sun bathing on the beach. Philippines summer vacation has a plenty of place you can visit in different beaches around the country. Philippines summer vacation is really an enjoyable place to go. No one compares Philippines summer vacation is the best.

It’s now the month of April and I can feel the heat of the sun at home or even at night when I sleep. I can feel as I walk on the street. Hello, summer vacation as what my kids always shouting for they are very happy and free from going back to school everyday.

My kids are really very happy, Hello summer vacation, Free again! Care free again! No teachers to prod them to study take exams or make long assignments! No need to wake up early each morning! It is fun, food, sleep, play and relaxation. My elder son said.

Strictly speaking, summer is not Filipino. Summer is one of the four seasons of the year in temperature countries, the tree others being spring, autumn or fall and winter. Tropical country like Philippines have only two seasons- the rainy season and the dry seasons. What I now refer to is the “summer” is actually the hottest months of the dry season.

Philippines summer vacation is quite hot!!! And my kids are very excited to have a vacation in my home town in Biliran, province where their grandparents are staying now. We have a beautiful beach. White sand and running water that they can swim like a swimming pool, and the advantage of our pool is running water and a fresh and purified drinking water that comes from under the land or what we call in our place a “tubod” originally come under the soil. During hot time the water is so cold and nice to stay under the water for swimming and we can’t fell that summer vacation is there.

Philippine summer vacation for my kids should not all be play and relaxation. Philippines summer vacation should also a time for reflection. For thanking God we have our homes, our parents, our excursion sites and summer. It is also a time for helping mother in the home chores and to learn how to do things especially those where not taught in school.

Remember children, as I told them that Philippines summer vacation is only a vacation. It is a part of our life but it is only a small part. The bigger part is in striving to be better educated to better earn and to better live.

Love to a Father

father love

Love to a Father

How could I ever forget?

When I can see you again

A thousand miles you traveled

Away from home and friends

You taught me how to love

Share and to forgive

‘Cause love though it’s tangible

Makes one feel so gay…

I remember you said this is to me.

‘Dad you’re so kind, gentle and caring

Not one of your siblings could ever forget

The good things you’ve done

But now that you’re gone

Life seems meaningless without you.

Someone to share, whom I lean on

Restless, hopeless every time I think of you,

Tried to gamble everything

Even just a glance once more

I never forget you said this again,

“To cradle you at last.”

But now I’ve fallen in love

With the guy I love so much

I told him that the past is past

And see the new bright sunlight

Just to remember your advice

Love your favorites and hobbies that will last.

May the truth prevail?

That I don’t like intruders,

I like my hobbies to write poems, verses, and tongue twisters;

And my favorites are rose and coffee flowers;

It maybe made by businessmen or business woman,

Like perfumes and lotion

To gain money for countrymen.
