Send the Beloved Child on a Journey

かわいいこにはたびをさせよ。(Kawaii ko niwa tabi o saseyo) - Send the beloved child on a journey. The above is a Japanese quote that highlights letting a child develop independence and self-reliance than letting it grow up in a sheltered environment. If you've watched videos of kids in Japan going to school and back home by themselves, walking with some friends or taking the trains from a fairly long distance, that's the literal meaning to this quote. Japanese children are taught from an early age to walk out by themselves along with being careful when out in the streets, to respect surroundings, be respectful of people they meet out in the streets and in school.

All these kinds of pretend play is essential to a child's development as it gives them the chance to observe others and also stimulates creativity and thinking skills. It is thanks to creative furniture stores, our kids were able to pretend play with mini-appliances like kitchen blocks, kiddie tables and chairs, and even tents. These items tailored for kids made it easier for them to be mobile and do stuff with less hindrance (imagine tall chairs and big tables for short legs). Here are perhaps some of the best home integration, toys, and ...

Best Chair Features For Long Sitting – Review of the Flexi-Chair BackSupport Office Chair BS1B

"We received this product for free to review but the opinions expressed here are our own." Sitting all day can't do good to your back. For the many months most of us have been at home, this holds true. Sitting long gives you backaches, your legs don't get enough stretch time, and if you have a not-so-good chair, it might lead to overall body ache - as one is connected to each. While a normal chair will work when you're eating, it will be detrimental for your health to sit long on such chair during classes or while drafting your plates, even when playing games. You've surely heard about the science of ergonomics and we might both agree that it's good to have one if your work require you ...
