Staying Fit During Restrictions: 6 Effective Ways

With remote learning, and hours on being outside lessened, limiting physical activities, it is expected that a sedentary lifestyle would affect kids a lot. We can't discount the  many benefits of going to a park nearby for children, but since we are practicing social distancing, there's only so little time we can spend outside. While the kilos is not really an indication of one's health, keeping a proper weight is a good start to be healthy.

Fill your House with Stacks of Books, in All the Crannies and All the Nooks

(This post was originally published on May 2014, updated in honor of the discontinued Dr.Suess' books.) Theodor Seuss Geisel. Does the name ring a bell? It probably won’t at first glance. However, if I were to tell you that some of his famous works include “The Cat in the Hat,” “The Lorax,” and “If I Ran the Zoo,” then you would definitely know who he is. Of course, probably everyone has heard of the beloved Dr. Seuss. Not only is he famous for his words of wisdom but he is also an American writer, poet, and cartoonist who is widely known for his children’s books and illustrations. Dr. Seuss once said, “Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks”. What ...

Raising Business-Minded Kids, 4 Best Points

We, as parents, try to make our kids understand the value of money. Remember how your mom asked you to wash dishes and pay you some coins for doing it after complaining so much? Chores and little pays taught us the value of hard work, earning, saving, and what it's like to have one's own money to spend. Some of us even sold cookies and lemonade in the summer. ;) Aside from teaching kids these concepts, you can make them see how thinking of solutions to problems are viable business models. Take the example of Daniela Titiun, a certified Tea Sommelier, fashion lover, crafter and travel addict. Daniela works in the business and fashion industry, but she has always loved tea, this passion ...

Why Sleeping in Their Own Beds Is Beneficial for Children (5 Great Points)

Why Sleeping in Their Own Beds Is Beneficial for Children

There is no manual with explicitly written instructions for parents to rear their children. Simply put, parenting is not structured. So, unfortunately, many parents don’t know what to do regarding their children’s sleep. In particular, parents can’t decide whether to allow their children to sleep in their own beds. Studies have shown that parent-child interaction influences a child’s sleeping routine and pattern. That includes the problem of giving children their own space to sleep in. In most Western countries, parents encourage their children to sleep in their own rooms from an early age. Some families even place babies in their own rooms and rely on monitors to see how they are doing ...
