Nutrition and Exercise for Childrens

Michelle Obama launched the “Let’s Move” campaign and since then a lots of attention has been paid to healthy eating and physical activity for children. How you do that? It starts with you the parent by being a positive role model. The way you shop, cook, eat and do physical activity will be imitated by your children.
Sow them your UNCONDITIONAL love especially if you have an overweight, handicapped or special need child. They need your acceptance, encouragement and support. By focusing on your child positive qualities and talent, showing interest in the skills and pleasure will build them self esteem and the good feeling about themselves.
Do things together, like eating, outdoor sports, walks, bicycle rides. Have family dinners together, talk about your day. Have fun laugh a lot. Build good memories. It will stay with them all they life.

Good family relationship, communication and trust will not be handed to you by some fairy godmother. Sorry to tell you but you have to do the work. It is worth every bit of it because the benefits are great.

HEALTHY LIFE STYLE FOR CHILDREN

I didn’t realized how I neglected this blog by not publishing anything for such a long time. Well I try to rectify that and I promise to be more attentive to it.
Watching my two great granddaughters growing up (unfortunately from far) and seeing how they are growing adopting healthy behaviour and eating habits, it amazes me. When my boys where they age eating were a whole production and so was many other things. Everything was a struggle. We where new emigrants, didn’t spoke the language and had no family support to speak off. But that was long time ago. Bringing up children today it is a whole different ball game.
Parenting is the most important job and also the most rewarding and satisfying experience you can have. Parents have to work 24/7 around the clock to keep they children healthy happy, safe and secure. When they are toddlers they need to be thought and watched to stay away from hot food, stove, electrical outlets harsh chemicals and sharp objects
Right eating habits, playing and sharing, proper bed time and positive attitude, not much TV and more outdoor play, should start as early as possible and they will learn, if you model it to them.
Like I said parenting is a big responsibility, not easy but worth every effort you put into it.

The Happy House On The Hill

I call it the happy house on the hill. It is large and houses two families who own it together.

The two women are sisters and each is married. They and the two husbands come from different cultural and religious background and each couple has two children. The ages are three, two, one and a half, and two months.
There is an incredible peace harmony and calmness in that house, the children are well behaved, no jalousie or very little and they are very protective of each other specially the two older ones protecting the two young babies.

The stay home mom has a master degree in early child- hood education, which helps and she runs that household like a well-seasoned sea captain. However, with a lot of love and fun and order, and without any pressure upon them

When the parents return at night, work stays outside the door. The minute they walk in quality time begins until the childrens all go to bed without a hitch or too much coaxing. The love, which these kids are surrounded, is enormous. Everything is geared for them and for they well being. The house is a giant nursery, no worry that they may pull down or break something .Growing up in such a safe secure warm and stable environment must have a positive effect. I wish to be around when they are going to be in the teens, but I think that is too much to ask being 86. However, I am working on it.
It was very different when I was a young mom and comparing raising children then and now, it seems that then was the dark ages.
These kids have a very solid secure foundation to build them life, which in the end will make them happy healthy and secure adults.
One of the dads in that household is my grandson and the two little girls are my great granddaughters. I am very proud of them all.

"Happy Father's Day"

I am happy to live long enough to see how that role of fathers has been changed since my time. 60 years ago, it was unheard of for a father to be in the delivery room with his wife witnessing the birth of the child. He was pacing up and down in the waiting room with other nervous fathers.
To change diapers, burp the baby, and push a pram was not the fathers roll and men did not do that. It probably where exceptions, I personally did not know anybody otherwise.
Both my sons where in the delivery room, changed diapers burped the baby and shared the work with the wife’s for caring and looking after them sons.
Today I am a great grandmother and watching my grandson interacting. Loving and helping with his two young babies, it warms my heart. The bond and the foundation they are building will result in a healthy well-balanced children and adults.
The most important and responsible job is being a parent. The future is in the hand. We live in a violent world and all those violent people of today where children at one time. Many things must have gone wrong in they childhood and growing up.
Keep up the good work, I wish you all a very happy Fathers Day.

Mother's Day Special

Is there anything better than being a grandmother? Yes it is. Being a great grandmother to two lovely girls.
On the 7th of May Norah my second great granddaughter was born, weight 7 lb, 19/5” long and her big sister 27 month old Lili just can’t have enough of her.
She was born at home with a midwife and everything went smoothly without a hitch. What a nice Mothers Day Gift. I have two sons, four grandsons and I am delighted to have two little girls in the family.
Unfortunately I cannot visit often, me living in Winnipeg Canada and they in Seattle
USA.
Ah... but there is the computer and Skype, so I can be in contact with them and hear them sweet voices. Not the same thing, but the next best thing and I am thankful.

Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Mothers Day just around the corner and weather you are expecting or need a gift for a new baby, a friend with babies or somebody in the family having or just had a baby, nursery essentials is always a good and well appreciated gift.
Example: travel gear, bedding, baby toys, strollers, chid tote. Make sure if possible, that all items are made from natural material, free of toxins.
With all this, good weather playgrounds are opening and extra safe guards are needed to protect your children.
Supervise your child closely and make sure to teach how to use equipment safely and properly. Playground is a place for great exercise, to learn how to socialize and play creatively. It will also test they skills.

Summer Activity For Childrens

Summer is just around the corner and before you know it, the children are out of school. Do you have a plan for them or they will be sitting most of the time in front of the TV and eat and drink junk?
Make a plan for the summer activities, encourage them to use the imagination to create projects that are reflection of they own unique talents.
Encourage and possible participate with them in outdoor sports, swimming, playing ball any kind. Day camp is a good place for them to be, also summer camp, family travel if affordable.
Many things they could be engaged, but you have to be creative and help them.
If they are old enough insist in summer job, or volunteer work.
Use reward and consequences if necessary and remember you are the parent and you are in charge
Time spent as a family unit by planning, playing working together, is not only good for them and for you, but builds cherished memories as well.
If they are bored they will spend long hours in front of the TV or getting involved with the wrong crowd smoking or doing drugs
Protect them you are raising the future.
