Scrub those hands : Frequent hand washing is the most effective way to prevent cold and virus transmission. Yet studies have found that simply telling a child to wash their hands might not be effective; if parents teach their kids that they are washing off invisible germs, and why, kids are more likely to engage in the behaviour. Drink water : Once the chill sets in, the motivation to drink water might dry up – but children need to keep stay hydrated. This promotes a strong immune system, which in turn helps the body fight off any germs it comes across. Often dehydration is the cause behind a headache or stomachache, so if your child presents with these complaints – give them a glass of water before turning to a pill. Rest: Constant activity and staying up late does not allow one’s body to rest and recover. In order to have a strong immune system, children need down time, even more so than adults. Encourage activity and exercise – but stick to bedtimes, monitor the energy level

It’s not enough to just go through the motions, trying to demonstrate qualities that are associated with emotional intelligence. You have to be genuine. You can do a gut check to find out how genuine you are by comparing your own behavior to that of people who are highly genuine. Consider the hallmarks of genuine people and see how you stack up. “Authenticity requires a certain measure of vulnerability, transparency, and integrity,” -Janet Louise Stephenson Genuine people don’t try to make people like them. Genuine people are who they are. They know that some people will like them, and some won’t. And they’re okay with that. It’s not that they don’t care whether or not other people will like them but simply that they’re not going to let that get in the way of doing the right thing. They’re willing to make unpopular decisions and to take unpopular positions if that’s what needs to be done. Since genuine people aren’t desperate for attention, they don’t try to show off.

Hi Julle Wou graag my beloning "Reward" chart met julle deel ek dink regtig dit motivate kinders want ek weet dit motivate Jody, so ek deel dit graag met julle

Love, love changes everything; Hands and faces, earth and sky. Love, love changes everything; How you live and how you die. ” – Andrew Lloyd Webber/Don Black Think about love for a moment. Love has the power to change lives in incredible ways. It causes grown men to buy flowers and teddy bears on February 14th. It causes women to give up the power of the remote control. It causes parents to drive to the pharmacy for children’s cough syrup at two in the morning. When love gets a hold of us, we become different people almost overnight – no convincing required. Our lives change just because we have fallen under the control and influence of love. But love is such a powerful emotion that it even begins to change the person who is loved – because to be loved is to be changed. And that’s why, to the best of my knowledge, I tell my children every single night that I love them. It begins to change who they are, what they know, and who they will become. 1. It gives them someone t

Waarom is roetine belangrik? Roetine leer kinders verantwoordelikheid en kan dus jou kind selfstandiger maak, sê Michelle Andrews, ’n kliniese sielkundige van Johannesburg. Dit help kinders ’n balans vind tussen huiswerk, speelmaats, higiëne en gesinstyd. Roetine leer jou kinders hul tyd doeltreffend bestuur. Dit verminder stres in jou huishouding, want jou kinders sal minder gejaag wees en jy as ouer sal nie gedurig hoef te kyk dat alles gedoen word nie. Wat is ’n roetinekaart? Dis ’n kalender wat van Maandag tot Sondag strek, met ’n lys take wat jou kind elke dag moet voltooi. Dit werk veral goed vir kinders jonger as 12 jaar, sê Melissa Bothma, ’n opvoedkundige sielkundige van Kaapstad. Na gelang van jou kind se ouderdom kan dit alles van tande borsel tot huiswerk insluit. Plak dit waar jou kinders dit kan sien. As jy dit laat lamineer, kan hulle hul take met ’n witbordmerker of aftrekplakkers daarop afmerk. Melissa raai ma’s van ouer kinders aa

Good advice ... tips This may be a boring subject, but will radically help to save precious water - and keep your bill at a handleable level ... ·          Give up the luxury of having a bath unless you are comfortable sharing the same water with the whole family. When you shower , take between four and five minutes. Wet yourself. Turn the shower off, then soap and wash all over, then put on the shower again and rinse. Learn to pee when you are showering. It is healthy and perfectly sanitary and you will be saving litres of water that you would normally flush away ... ·          ... which brings me to, “When it’s yellow , let it mellow, but when it’s brown , flush it down”. That old adage still stands us in good stead! ·          Only use your washing machine once you have gathered up a full load. ·          Same applies to your dishwasher . By the way, dishwashers use far less water than washing dishes in the sink. Who’d have thought! ·          If you swit

10 dinge wat elke ma vir haar kinders wil he Voordat ek kinders gehad, ek het gedink dat daar 'n regte manier is om 'n ouer te wees . "Ek moet dit doen, hierdie, en hierdie," Ek het gedink.

Hier is 10 dinge wat ek agter gekom het mammas vir hulle kinders wil he : . 1. Emosionele gesondheid .

'n Brief aan my seun Aan my klein Bassie, Dis moeilik om te glo dat jy 'n amper 2 jaar gelede in ons lewens in gekom. By tye voel dit asof ek jou 'n leeftyd ken   en ander tye is dit asof jy nounet hier aangekom het. Om 'n seun te he - waar om te begin? Mense het my gewaarsku dat dit anders sou wees, maar voordat jy hier was het ek gelag oor hul kommentaar. Sjoe was ek verkeerd. Dis waar - dit is baie verskillende met 'n seuntjie as met 'n dogtertjie.   Jy het in die wêreld ingekom, met daai oë, en Ek het geweet dat jy my sal besit van daardie oomblik af. Daar was 'n wysheid in die manier waarop jy na die wêreld gekyk het rondom jou. Ek love hoe jy die wêreld sien. Jou glimlag jou liefde sonder perke, nie 'n bang haar op jou kop nie. Elke dag   wou ek die tyd stadiger laat loop, sodat ek elke nuwe oomblik saam met jou oor en oor weer kan ervaar. En hier is jy reeds amper 2 jaar oud . Ek het   'n sinkende vermoede dat ek my oë sal knip en jy
