My cute sons

by admin

I have a four year old son and a two months old one. Both of them are the cutest kids ever. But sometimes this cuteness changes and this normally happens when I most tired. I know it might sound like I am annoyed with my kids when I am tired, but that’s not the case. I love them a lot. I actually think that may be there is some unseen connection between me and my kids which causes them to be irritating when I am tired.

Sharing nature with kids

There are many different things that are important to the future of our world, and teaching children to love nature and care for the planet should be high on the list of priorities. People need to learn what is important in this life, and spending out on an expensive international divorce solicitor is something that is unnecessary. Instead this money could be spent on the child involved in the breakup, and you could teach them about the good things in life, in the hope that they will be a good person later on.

Worlds Apart

by admin

A drastic change of circumstance can be hard to deal with at the best of times; children, although very resilient by nature, do suffer when their parental situation changes. This is even more so the case when the change in circumstance also includes a change of location, not just moving from the home they grew up in, but possibly the country too.

There could be many reasons why a couple would be looking at dealing with an international divorce ; it could be that one party has been offered a job and needs to move or that one party’s immediate family is unwell and needs their support. Whatever the reason, the effect on the children will be heightened and made worse if not handled carefully.

Divorce and kids

by admin

There are many things to consider when you are thinking of changing your family through separation or divorce, as the number of people who are either separated or divorced is rapidly growing. For instance, these actions may cause friction within your family, and may even impose a state of grief on your children that can last for a varying amount of time. You might be scared to make a decision due to its impact on your kids, however, knowledge about how this situation will affect you and your family can help you make the best decision to manage and cope with your specific family concerns. Young kids are impressionable, meaning that they absorb information and influences from day to day tasks, which they can carry with them through life. The way you handle this situation and the emotions of your kids is what helps to create their perspective throughout life.

Doing the best for your kids has to occur on many levels, as well as great parenting and management skills. Even when you considering consulting divorce solicitors you should also consider your children and how this choice will affect them for the better and the worse.

Studies show that a majority of children who have experienced their parent’s divor ce do not acquire behavioural problems. They mainly suffer from grief, which is not a mental disorder; it is something that can be resolved with proper care, attention and problem-solving skills. In all reality, those who experience this as they are growing up have a broader understanding of personal relationships and are more resilient, being able to adapt to change. This is not to say that they may not struggle with it in different ways, specific to the individual. Communication and excellent coping skills can be used to lessen the severity of emotional effects on your kids.

Activity For Children – Fun Is Fundamental

Do you organize a painting holiday at home to help your child learn how to paint better? Well, I have come across numerous instances where these holidays are run with discipline and precision that would do justice to a military camp. The child is expected to have a clear idea about what he or she wants to paint and is required to complete the same in time.

The child should not waste paint or should not soil his or her Read the rest of this entry »

Dads Don’t Play – Says Who?

Is there an unwritten rule in your family that the mother will be in charge of all activities related to the children? Is she in charge of creating pastimes and hobbies so that your child can learn faster? Well, such an approach can prove counterproductive in the long run. Why do we have families consisting of a father and a mother? If the mother was to stay in charge of each and every activity related to the child, the father Read the rest of this entry »

The Phone of Nature

by admin

The best way for your child to learn about nature is to take them out there and get them rambling about as soon as possible. If they’re glued to their mobile phones all the time it will be very tempting to take the phone away from them and lock it away. However it is far easier and cleverer to make the phone a part of the ramble. Taking pictures, shooting videos and recording sounds are all useful tricks to get your kid on a walk with you.

If you’re son/daughter is at the age where they’re embarrassed by everything you do, then it’s best to start them on walks and hikes that are far enough away from home so that they don’t get embarrassed if their friends see them with Mum or Dad or both. It’s also worthwhile investing in some ordinance survey maps for your area if you’re not familiar with any local walks or trails. You can download the maps online direct to your phone – another thing to keep the kid’s interested in what’s going on.

Sometimes it’s easier to get the kid’s to accompany you on walks when you’re abroad – at least there they can be sure they’re unlikely to be seen by any of their friends from school. However no doubt they will still be glued to their mobile. At this point it is worth mentioning that you should take the time to make sure you have a good service plan with low roaming charges on the phone before setting off on your travels. You’d be surprised how much data kids can use in one hour let alone a whole day and the last thing you want is to be saddled with a huge mobile phone bill after coming home from a nice trip. Therefore it’s best to look into a good roaming advisor service that won’t cost you the earth and keep you from killing your kid when they’re on the internet for most of the day when you’re away.

As children are being surrounded by technology more and more as they grow up, many parents are concerned that children won’t ever learn enough about the environment around them. Parents are partly to blame for some of this as the media have become ever more concerned about unseen dangers lurking in their neighbourhood. Yet this fear is cutting kids off from the natural world around them. A survey conducted by the National Trust shows that only 53% of children in the UK are able to correctly identify an Oak leaf whilst only 47% are able to identify a barn owl. These are disturbing figures albeit hardly surprising ones and the Children & Nature Network is another organisation trying to do something about the problem.

If you can’t beat them, join them so the saying goes, so if you allow the mobile phone to accompany your child, they’ll be more willing to go outside. It is important to take your children out into the natural world so that they can interact with the environment learning and growing all the while. Not only is it healthy to do this, but it’s a lot of fun for both parent and child!
