For mothers, it is always a good feeling to see their kids playing around at home or in other places designed for recreational activities. Play forms a big part in children's progressive growth and development. It is essential in forming their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. Seeing the kids having fun and in full gaiety is perhaps one of the best feelings a mother could have. But you perhaps also experience the dilemma tidying clutters around the house during their playtime. More often than not, I go after their mess and it has become very taxing indeed. But recently, I learned that there are actually effective ways to address this problem with your kids’ clutters. Based ...
Fascinating Aquariums For Kids To See and Explore
Fascinating Aquariums For Kids To See and Explore : Haus des Meeres (Dec 2011) This post is updated whenever we visit a new aquarium. There is no denying how much humans depend on the ocean. For one, the tiny, overlooked Phytoplankton helps us in a very essential way. They don't only remove (consume) excess carbon dioxide, they release half of the earth's oxygen in the atmosphere. Now, imagine what happens if they all die. Of course, it follows that everything else will die. The ozone layer, or layers of oxygen [three oxygen atoms (O3)] will be depleted, causing high levels of ultraviolet light and heat from the burning sun to reach Earth and eventually destroy it. That's why we ...
Salt Grotto For Kids With Asthma
While there are a lot of lakes in Austria, there's no body of saltwater easily reachable. The sea air is often considered beneficial for individuals with asthma due to several factors that can positively impact respiratory health. Reason why, we go whenever we can for our older son who suffers from asthma since he was two. When in the city, our alternative is to visit a salt grotto. A salt grotto, also known as a salt cave or salt therapy room, is a type of therapy space that recreates the natural microclimate found in underground salt mines or caves. It is designed to provide a relaxing environment where people can experience halotherapy, which involves breathing in salty air for potential ...
Saving Some Time When Ordering Microscope Accessories
Buying microscope accessories has gotten a great deal easier in the last few years, but there are a few caveats people still fall into. Many times a person will wait for a package to come in the mail only to find out the parts they ordered don't fit the microscope they own. This is an especially big problem when a project deadline is rearing its ugly head, but fortunately it's easy to prevent these headaches by double-checking the existing scope. Many eyepieces are interchangeable as far as size goes, but some owners neglect to make sure that the magnification of their replacement eyepiece is the same as the original one. While few people might give it much thought, the eyepiece ...
Exploring Venice With Kids : Best Things To See and Do
Venice is one of the cities I fell in love with, it's probably my favorite Italian city. I was excited when hubby said that we're gonna go back and this time with the kids! He planned to meet up his newly married friend and his wife and tagged us along to introduce us. But since it was decided on short notice, and the kids still have school, we left on Friday evening on a night train having wanted to try it at least once. We did get some sleep considering how it's a really bumpy ride. Our train arrived at Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia close to 7 in the morning (approximately 10 hours since we boarded). It looked so much better the last we went (2008). The train station has been renovated ...
Music and Kids, Some Great Ways Kids Benefit From Tunes
Aldous Huxley once said that, “After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” So profound and yet so true. Music as a form of expression helps one release his or her inner thoughts and feelings without the need for words. Where words fail, music succeeds. And like I mentioned before, music is my constant companion. Let me correct that, music is rather, our constant companion, my kids enjoy music as much I do. This form of expression is anyway just as important in them children. They are pint-sized creatures bustling with untapped emotions and feelings deep inside. Oftentimes, they don’t really know how to let these pent-up feelings out. So, they ...
