Enjoy your free time with the baby on holiday

Creating bubbles and bring books to small are some suggestions to maximize the summer with the baby

is important to spend time with the baby in the summer. Holidays are the best time to enjoy all that small could not be during working hours. In summer, take all the time (and energy) available can greatly help to strengthen the bond with the child.
It is important to enjoy the outdoors with your baby, promote relations between small and books, as well as familiar to the child, in general, sees little.

The importance of spending time with the baby in summer:

Holidays with children are very different from those experienced before or after having children,  when they are grown. The baby requires almost constant attention and that requires that all activities will be planned according to their presence. This applies to travel to the rest of the vacation time, when fathers and mothers do not go to their jobs but should exercise parents 24 hours a day.

The baby must learn to play and for this you need motivation and parent company:

The important thing about the holidays is that you can use to perform all activities for the remainder of the year are limited to short times of the day or week. "Good thing the baby spend time outside you can always spend the rest of the year. It need not be specific activities or too complex: it can be as simple as playing with the children."
Often parents do not devote exclusive time to play with the baby during the year. No wonder that parents take advantage of the little leisure hours for other activities. However, the child also needs to learn to play and, in this sense, the role of parents is crucial: should motivate you, to be with him, talk and listen, but the baby just yet issued its infancy.

Enjoy the outdoors with the child:

It is important to use the summer to enjoy the outdoor spaces and the outdoors with the baby.While sun exposureis dangerous for very young children, it is advisable (after taking appropriate precautions) get outside and go with the park to play.
For the baby, it is very challenging to use their five senses to discover the elements of nature: whether crawling or gives little steps across the lawn, notice the roughness of the soil and the bark of trees on which it rests, and its odor and temperature.

Creating bubbles is a simple proposal to enjoy with baby outdoor in summer:
A simple option to enjoy the outdoors with the child, and that most children like, is creating bubbles. To do this, you can buy a single bottle of bubbles or create your own, with a wire that is given accordingly, and use soapy water.
The frothy liquid required to form bubbles is obtained by mixing water with dishwashing detergent (or shampoo) and a touch of glycerin. Bubbles can provide hours of entertainment to small, especially if the adult does reluzcan large bubbles under the sun.

Baby and books

•Summer is a good time to encourage the baby bond with the books that will last over time:

Summeris a good time to bring the baby to the world of books. This approach can be accomplished in two different ways.
On the one hand, through the reading aloud of stories and tales. Although at this age the child still does not understand the meaning of the story itself is perceived to be speaking in a special way and receive voice inflections.
The hours of reading can become a special moment even before the little have realized that you are reading a story, which will favor the birth of the child the important link with books.
Moreover, the baby will use the book almost like a toy. The small,  when you have a year to live, is recognizing shapes, so you should give copies colorful, with many images and hardcovers. Your way to experiment with it include it to his mouth and try to break it (which will if given a book not suitable for their age). In this way, the child will become familiar with the book since before knowing its actual use and the fantasies that keeps inside.

Contact with the family to which the child sees little:

Holidays can serve to take the baby to contact relatives who see little (or nothing) because of lack of time or who live far away. This is what happens to children who spend their summers in the village of their parents or grandparents: the arrival of a new family member becomes a real event.
But not only in the villages. The pace that many people are in the city causes, even though the distance is not so, visits or meetings between family members or friends are sporadic. Vacation days are an excellent opportunity to compensate, at least in part, those absences and share with babies whole days.

Six tips to get kids to eat fruit

Parents can teach children fruit intake, a critical component to your diet

Often, children are reluctant to eat fruits andvegetables. This attitude isa problem, because they provide vitamins and other important nutrients for health and growth,  some of which are not present in other foods. In this post, we collect several ways to motivate them to eat fruit, such as offering various presentations and combinations,  avoid overstressing and, in the case of older, lead by example.
Fruits are essential in the diet of children, as for adults, for many reasons: they provide some nutrients almost exclusive -like vitamin C, only present in fruits and vegetables- are asource of fiber and antioxidants, almost no contain fat and help maintain proper hydration (all have ahigh water content) and remove excess fluids and toxins, given its diuretic.

The problem is not always easy to accept the smaller fruits included in your menu. Children tend to be reluctant to try new foods,  especially when tastes are some what strong, or acids, like some fruits, and also when the texture is fibrous or have to perform some additional tasks before you put them in their mouth ( peel, remove seeds, etc..). So always come in handy some tips to encourage children to eat fruit (and not despair in the attempt).

1.Lead by example. This is basic:  children imitate and want to look like adults. In a house where the fruit is not part of the diet of adults, it is very difficult to include in the small. Also, if you eat fruit, the higher will do well not only to children but also to themselves. Care should be taken, on the other hand, the fruits are visible in the everyday landscape, which can be achieved with the presence of a source with a good variety on the dinner table or in the kitchen.

2.Enter through the eyes. Thing that children like to play and often live far from food as an interruption of their entertainment, they would rather avoid. So, one alternative is to make the food also has a touch of fun. One way of achieving this is through the cuts of the pieces of fruit and the possible combinations. It is much more attractive to the child, and will increase their desire to eat, get a multicolored fountain,  with pieces of strawberry, apple, orange, peachand kiwi cut into similar shapes and sizes that one whole fruit. Another alternative is to present the pieces of fruit on a wooden stick, like a skewer.

3.Combine with other fruits. This advice is similar to above, but in this case, not only presents the fruit of an original, but is mixed with other products to get new results. A good resource is to include fruit pieces in milk or yogurt even dairy companies sold long such combinations. The apple and some cheeses, such as brie,  also give very good results. They can be combined with thin slices of toast banana. The only limit is the imagination and make the palate.

4.Juicing. Juices are another way to consume fruit. No benefit from its nutritional properties, since many of them are lost, especially the fiber and vitamins, if you pause toolong since squeezed until drunk. However, the benefits are varied:  firstly, the ability to mix different fruit juices and richer test results (this can be the gateway to one type of fruit that, when the entire piece, the child refuses to try) and, secondly, thirst quenching juices in hot weather, as an alternative to soft drinks.

5.Promoting the participation of children. Such collaboration can be achieved in the preparation of food. While the older kitchen, little can peel fruits, organize your presentation or perform some other task that does not involve risks. This contact and closeness with fruit help to increase their desire to try it. You can also includethe child in making decisions with questions like: "What do we have today, banana or tangerine? ".This not only helps you feel more involved with the fruit,  and consequently more likely to eat it, but also gain insight into their tastes and preferences.

6.Do not force or insist too. If eating fruit becomes a requirement,  or offering is a stressful time and discussions, the child is likely to end up associating the fruit with negative situations, which cause opposite desired behavior. If the child refuses after some proposals, it is best to leave. But if an adult eats fruit later rejected the child and says how nice it tastes and how much he has enjoyed the small increase their curiosity and their desire to please imitate and caregiver. If not now, maybe the next time it wants to eat.

Playgrounds: six tips to prevent accidents

The location of the playground, the materials from which it is made, hygiene and maintenance are key issues that adults should monitor

Go to the park to play is one of the best plans that can be offered to a child. For the kids and parents love them the opportunity to have fun with their children, or take a break while they have fun. However, the maintenance of its attractions is still insufficient: only two years ago, we found thata third of the games had some deficiency. While improving their designs parks every day, incorporating new materials and are subject to strict safety standards, are also subject to misuse, climate or environment, over time, can deteriorate.Therefore, and because they are in public, it is essential that adults pay attention to certain aspects to prevent mishaps and accidents involving children. In this report we provide some guidelines.

Most accidents are falls

Nine out of ten children's accidents are hits. Among younger children, under 4 years, the most common injury is the fall and the most affected part of the body, the head.

The majority of accidents take place in the home (with injuries,poisoning and burns, in this order of incidence), but the areas of recreation -parks- are also an accident scenario. Accidents can be avoided.For children to play safely,  adults should "demand security,  both as gaming devices in the installation," the paper said. And above all, they must be vigilant.

1.The location of the park

Not enough that the park is close to home or school. What's important, beyond practicality, is to be located in a suitable and safe.
This is far from the street and fenced in some way (with walls, fences or hedges) to prevent, in a careless, children can run into the street. It is fitting that it is in an area with good visibility, ie a place where parents see their children play and at the same time, control the movements of the environment.

2.The floor to play

The surfaces of asphalt, gravel or concrete were frequent in the playgrounds of yesteryear. Today is unacceptable. They are considered dangerous and unsafe. Its hard not absorb the impact of a fall and roughtexture increases the risk of cuts and scrapes. The coatings of rubber or synthetic materials are ideal because they face both problems. The earth and grass are better than cement, nodoubt, but can degrade with use and climate. If the park has this type of soil,  should inspect it before going to play with the kids (especially if it rained). In either case, we must ensure that there is no standing water, sharp objects (such as glass orcans) or foreign with the little one can trip or hurt.

3.Different children, different areas

A two year old does not play like a ten, does not have the same strengthor the same size. This fact, which seems so obvious, is not covered at all playgrounds, which often lack play areas for children of different ages and some other or not specified for what age are designed facilities. In this respect, a safe park with clear information and, if admitted to children 2 to 12 years, has different areas (and bounded) to avoid having problems. An older child can hurt a small inadvertently if they run or jump in the same place, but more dangerous is that young children use games designed for the larger ones. If the sizes and proportions are not correct, there may be accidents. Are the most common? Small slide through an opening and fall from the top, while the not so young can get trapped in a structure that is not meant for them.

4.Signs for Parents

In connection with the foregoing,  the signals are extremely important. Adults should know if the park is suitable for their children, if damaged or if there are games dangerous areas or repair. They should also be sure not to allow the entry of animals, as they represent a potential danger to children, and keep an eye emergency numbers in case something happened.
Therefore, it is always better to go to a park with information boards.

5.The hygiene of the playing area

A clean and well maintained park prevents infections, diseases and problems.
How is the level of hygiene of the park where we go? Did you visit the gardeners and cleaning staff regularly? These issues are crucial to ensure that children are exposed to bacteria or viruses. It should be noted cleaning the bins, soil and Game, the state of the plants,  shrubs and trees (if the park has them) and the correct operation of the lighting.

6.The park and its maintenance

The inspection of the good state of the parks is fundamental. The games should not be broken: if of wood, be monitored with no chips or points, if they are metal, make sure that there are no sharp edges or rust. In addition, the attractions must be made of strong materials.And if there are any breakdowns,  there has to be directed. For these reasons, a good preventive measure is to go to the park alone, without the kids, to makesure all is well. If so, we can return to them. If not, you will need to look else where for child recreation.

Children and park use :

As important as choosing a good park is making good use of it. For this reason, in addition to verify that everything is in place and in order, it is essential to teach children how to behave in these playgrounds.
Some simple ideas (but valuable) are:

•Games are safe if used for the purpose for which they were designed. Swings are for sitting rocking, the guardrails are not climbing frames and slides have to slide their feet forward.

•The higher are the structures provides less damping the soil, whether the material is. We must prevent small about it and explain that they should be especially careful if you want to get into a game high.

•If we carry other items (such as a bicycle, a stroller or a bag of toys),  it is important to keep them away from the area where children play and run, as they can trip over them and injure themselves.

•Speaking of running: it is a very healthy habit and beneficial, as long as there is no provision alongside the attractions. You have to watch closely that no pushing,  especially if mounted on a swing.

•Children should be taught from childhood to care and care for others. If you are going to jump or run, they have to be attentive to others. And, even faster than other kids (to climb the stairs of a slide),  have to respect his turn and not push the child who is ahead.

•Before going to the park, it is helpful to agree rules with children. Besides the above, one must take into account the weather. If it has rained and the attractions (or floor) are wet, it is better not to play in the park, because they increase the risk of slipping and falling. If on the other hand has been hot and the games are hot to the touch, the visit will be postponed to avoid burns.

•In terms of clothing and accessories for children, should avoid using clothes with laces, belts or anything that could catch the games. For girls, who often usepurses, necklaces and bracelets of fantasy, we must agree with them that these items should be stored while playing in the park. Once finished, they were able to relocate.

Ten tips for children to do their homework

Following a series of guidelines prevents when homework becomes a real battle everyday

It is normal for children to resist doing homework at home. And this often leads to fights orangerthat harm family life and the educational process. To avoid this, it should be noted some recommendations, such ascreating certain routines and enabling environments, support and encourage children as they perform tasks and review with them when they have finished. Following these assumptions generates motivation and incentives that are critical for small. This article explains why it is important for children to do homework and collect ten tips to achieve it.

Why homework is important:

Every so often resurfaces in the educational debate about whether the duties that teachers send children to make at home are beneficial or not, and in any case, how much homework is appropriate to entrust. Beyond the various opinions in this discussion,  the fact is that today the duties are an essential part of the educational process of children.
The existence of homework has several positive aspects: helping to create habits of responsibility and discipline in small, strengthens their concentration, can reinforce what is learned in class during the day and also serves to strengthen the relationship between parents and children.
The problem is that children are often reluctant to spend time at home for homework. And the direct consequence of this fact are often fights, anger, stress and bad times that hurt children and adults in everyday life and in the educational process in general.Therefore, it should be noted the tips and techniques listed in the following ten to encourage children to do their homework without problems and getthe best results.

Ten Tips for children to do their homework

1.Establish an appropriate place to do homework.
Does not have to be at a desk or in your room, but it should be respected that is always the same,  that is well lit and there the child has access to everything you need to make your tasks. Also, it is a place without distractions, which can concentrate and, over time, reach associate with the study. It is critical that, while engaged in their duties, little or no access to phone or television.

2.Set a time of day.
As with the place, there are also free to choose what the time devoted to homework. But once elected, they must comply. This helps to create study habits and discipline, and also helps to avoid arguments, when the time comes,  touches homework. It is best to be early, after a moment of distraction after returning from school. The later is made, the child will be more tired and have less desire, will cost more and the results will be worse.

3.If you set rules and schedules, be stead fast in its performance.
This point is closely related to the previous two. It does not mean you have to be inflexible in a radical way, but you notice that, when not met with a schedule, it is an exception.

4.Accompanying children while doing homework.
Accompany means to be near them, but not over, far from "them" homework. Let children make their activities as independent as possible is a way torecognize their independence, intelligence and ability to do things for themselves, but do not go perfect. This attitude helps a lot in learning to manage their responsibilities and strengthens their self-esteem.

5.Lead by example.
This is very positive: the adult,  whenever possible, make your own "homework" in view of the child, while it makes his: calculations related to home economics, review of bills or other paper , read a book, etc. It will be an extra motivation for two reasons: first, because children always try to look like their elders, and secondly, because it is a great way to show them that what they learn now will serve them for life in the future.

6.Be alert to help, especially if the child gets stuck with the task.
's Way, of course, is not doing the activity for him, but give some clue to bring it to the correct solution.Alternatively, if the child is stressed because of the difficulty of the duties is to give a break: you take a break to clear your mind and try again.

7.Rather than teach, tools for thinking. Often older may clarify the doubts of the students, but may not always do so. In such cases, do not get overwhelmed: the role of parents is to accompany the children and provide ideas, tools for thinking and look for alternatives. It is convenient not to have solved nagging doubts in class but encourage them to not forget to do the following.

8.Check the homework done.
This means not only the first instance of correction, but also a demonstration of interest by the adult to small activities, which is essential for the child that represents the motivation. The review should always start by highlighting the positive: the things the child has done well, developments and improvements to be detected, and so on. This will be taken by the student as a recognition for their work and encourage him to keep going. The nit will be time to mention another errors or mistakes made, without drama or exaggeration. However serious, are faults that can be corrected and are part of the learning process.

9.Avoid the "rewards" for homework.
One thing is motivation and a promise of a reward in exchange for the child to do their homework. With an offer like this, you run the risk that the situation is denatured and the alleged prize becomes a "bribe". It is best that the motivations and incentives are of another kind.

10.Discuss homework with positive terms.
The connotation of words is crucial here: if parents refer to expressions homework with him as a punishment, something bad or boring, sure the children will live in that manner. So whenever it is appropriate that, when we talk about the work, done with words  "good", highlighting how much the child will learn, what will serve in the future, it may be interesting to know, etc..
