You and Your Kids Can Make Fun and Creative Toys 2007-09-30 04:48:57 By Larry M. Lynch
Have you got the rainy day blues? Cabin fever? Stuck in a rut, or just looking for some affordable outlets for your tots, toddlers and perhaps their older siblings? Would you like some ideas on producing some unique, economical toys and amusements for your progeny? Ideas for new, different and creative toys can come from virtually every corner of the house. You may just need a healthy “how to” push in the right direction. Try these ideas for recycling common household items for starters.
Soda Bottle Trucks
As rain pounded into the black sands of the Pacific coast fishing village where I was passing my vacation, I noticed the downpour never stopped the kids. What I also noticed was their ingeniously crafted toy trucks fabricated from water or soda bottles. Each boy ran along rivulets of water pulling a sand-loaded truck. Converting the plastic bottle into a truck was childishly simple. Four bottle caps served as wheels. Two axles were formed from two three and a
The Right Mindset For Success In Business And Personal Life 2007-09-29 14:05:14 By Dan Jeremiah
Succeeding in Business
- Expanding your paradigm.
Our paradigm (or mental picture) dictates what we believe we are capable of achieving. This includes satisfying relationships, financial security, intellectual growth, physical health or anything else we dearly want. Our paradigm has to be dynamic - constantly adapting to changing situations and circumstances. If we remain bound to a restrictive paradigm, we became static. There will be no improvement to our circumstances, and no growth.
Expanding the paradigm needs resourcefulness and conviction. We need to develop the habit of thinking outside the box and looking beyond the obvious. We are fully free to decide where to place our limits. Since we can’t know all the possibilities that lie outside our paradigm, our limitations are very much what we decide them to be.
Expanding the mindset.
I said earlier that expanding our paradigm [or what we consider possible] needs resourcefulness. Resourcefulness needs belief an Read more:Success

Key to Success 2007-09-25 15:20:07 By Mary Kay Buttery
Have you ever known someone who always seemed to get what they wanted? Maybe it was that guy at work who went from visionary cubicle working stiff to powerful corner office head honcho in a short interval of time. Or your faired haired high school classmate with the glimmer in her eye, who made getting straight A’s “and being caption of the womens soccer team look like a cake walk. Their cups always seem to overflow and others marveled at their accomplishments. Never did we hear them complain or worry (out loud for that matter). They always expected the best to happen and it did. Even when bad times fell on them, them always stayed in good spirits and like clockwork everything that they seemed to have lost was restored back and then some. And many onlookers were left wondering how they did it (and how to get their magic potion). Quite simply, the working stiff and the fair haired classmate probably believed they deserved to see their dreams become reali Read more:Success
The Best Toys for Your Children 2007-09-20 04:46:56 By Larry M. Lynch
Christmas Morning
Eyes wide and beaming with ear-to-ear smiles, a two year old boy and his five year old sister ripped open their Christmas presents one by one. A battery-powered doll that ”sings”, a new bike complete with flashers, siren and lights, a battery-powered set of race cars that pits two vehicles against each other around a closed track. Battery-powered lights flash, wheels whirl and engines “roar” while an overhead banner counts laps with colored lights and finally, declares a winner. It was a scene of utter joy on the part of the children and parents alike. But wait. I was becoming a bit leery of the scene unfolding before me.
“Does everything use batteries”, I asked.
Apparently getting my point, the father nodded sheepishly in the affirmative before laughing out loud. How much value are such toys in the education of children and in helping to mold young, eager minds?
The two year old began to illustrate my point. He didn’t want to simply wa Read more:Children
Schooling Pitfalls 2007-09-10 14:13:16 by: Dr. Randy Wysong
Traditional school coursework does not usually make smarter or better people. Everyone needs the basic three R skills, but to a young person detail beyond that is pretty much a waste of student�s and teacher�s time as well as tax dollars. School serves as a convenient babysitter and helps to socialize children, but history, economics, physics and algebra minutia doesn�t do much more than superficially acquaint kids with some terms.
Learning that is important to living comes primarily from what is experienced. For example, love and concern from a teacher, fear of a bully and infatuation for a classmate all create indelible lessons remembered for a lifetime. On the other hand, the only lesson most kids take away after learning the Pythagorean Theorem and the date of the battle of Gettysburg is that learning isn�t fun and is a waste of time. The sooner a person can get out of school, the better the chances for useful learning. Personal initiative, individual Read more:Schooling
The classroom 2007-09-06 04:39:02 By Mary Anne WinslowIt’s undoubtedly true that man has all the qualities that are needed to develop himself from the very moment of birth. Each and every one of us possesses within ourselves a unique psyche. Unlike animals, we do not have hereditary instincts that are passed down through generations, such that a kitten, puppy or a tiger cub behaves similarly to its parents at birth. In contrary, an infant does not inherit styles of behavior from his parents, but develops an individual personality according to his will relating to his surroundings. This makes each child unique, like an uncut gem, different from one another despite coming from the same species.
The main objective of Montessori Method emphasizes on the development of each person as a complete human being from birth to maturity. A child constantly constructs his own understanding of the world through his own innate patterns or plans for development. Dr. Montessori believed these innate patterns, which are hidden are at b
Prepare Your Child For School 2007-08-28 14:20:40 By K. Siingh
Child’s learning process starts in the home under the love and care of his or her parents or close relatives. However, home is not the only center for learning. For child’s all round mental and intellectual growth, it is equally important that child should go to school, where he or she learns to interact socially and important that child should go to school, where he or she learns to interact socially and imbibes knowledge.
Most of the children do not like to go to school initially. If the child is suddenly put to school without preparing him mentally to face the change of environment from home to school, he will strongly resist it and he may develop permanent repulsive feeling about school. There are parents, who without trying to analyze the psychological problems of the child, put force and drag the child to the school daily with a hope that one day he will go to school willingly. But very often it is wrong. It may make an adverse effect on the child in developing h Read more:School

Learning To Read 2007-08-15 06:50:01 By Rebecca Walker
Learning
to read is one of the most important steps in your child’s development, both socially and intellectually. Reading is the basis for education, and without that ability your child will find grasping new concepts a difficult task – from elementary years through to higher education.

In this article we will reflect on some of the most salient ways in which you can promote your child’s reading abilities from an early age.

Some Benefits Of Breastfeeding 2007-08-08 04:59:57 By Apurva Jain
Which mother wouldn’t like her baby to be healthy and get the many benefits of breastfeeding? Breastfeeding is not only good for the baby’s health but it is also very beneficial for the mother in many ways.
Breastfeeding Provides Essential Nutrition To The Baby
Breast milk is beneficial to the baby and her mother in many ways. Basically, it provides the optimum amount and type of nutrition to the baby for its healthy growth. Breast milk contains lactoferrin, an essential element that has many functions. It helps in iron absorption and fights the bacteria that can harm the gut. Breastfeeding also provides lipases that help in the metabolism of fats and gives other useful hormones that help in the development and growth of the baby. Besides quenching thirst, mother’s milk also satisfies hunger and gets the baby to be accustomed to various tastes and flavors that vary with the diet of the mother. Formula milk is in no way equal to what breast milk can provide to the b Read more:Benefits
