Parenting Wars
Do or do not - there is no try. The ins and outs of one of the most difficult jobs on earth: parenting.
The positive side to Covid-19
When was the last time you took a breath and looked around at the people in your life? Stopped rushing from one place to another and just stood still? I used to run here, there and everywhere looking after everyone else, never truly looking at my life and appreciating what I had or who I was. I would snap at my children to “hurry up we are going to be late” at least ten times a day. We would rush through meals because we were always going somewhere, and I would feel like I had achieved nothing if I wasn’t exhausted by the end of the day.
Sometimes I'm Not There for My Children
I posted a similar article to this a few years ago, but I feel like the topic is still just as relevant. Especially given everything that's happening in the world right now. Parents everywhere are uncertain about the future, and we are trying our best to ensure that our children have everything they need. With the upcoming school year quickly approaching, I started thinking more about all the things I do for my children on a daily basis.

Like many parents, when COVID-19 made its initial appearance, I was cautiously optimistic that we were looking at a Swine-flu kind of situation that would pass fairly quickly and not alter our lives so drastically. The week before Spring Break in March, I pulled all 4 of my children from public school after instinctively feeling that the outbreak was going to get out of control. The "hush hush" of the school district and the clear lack of direction from government entities, local and federal, guaranteed that my kids would not be back in classrooms for a while.

Being new parents can be both an exciting and exhausting experience at the same time. Since your newborn still depends on you 100% of the time, you need to make sure that youre ready for action. The best way to carry a baby around is through an ergonomic baby carrier. Not only you can have an easier time bringing your newborn, but you can also prevent yourself from suffering from hip dysplasia.

Maria GibbonsPublished 4 years ago in FamiliesHow To Explain Grief, Loss, and Death To A Child
How do you explain death, loss and grief to children? Many well-meaning adults assume that children do not grieve. They are wrong. Childhood grief is different from the grief experienced by adults, but it very real to them.

This topic is very common amongst most people who have children. The parenthood is a difficult task requiring a lot of commitments. It is a loyalty, bravery, selfless agenda to name but a few. It requires a lot of discipline and sleep deprivation. The rewards however are uncountable. When a female's egg unites with sperm, the conception of a child happens and inevitably the miraculous birth to the most precious gift one can have. This little bundle of joy changes everything, the way you think, the way you do things, the way you interact with others and so much more. The words cannot describe the joy of being a parent.
Parenting: Understanding Children Behavior
Parenting is not easy. It requires a lot of heart, dedication, and passion to raise a child the way they need to be raised, which is the right way. Raising a child is hard, especially when you’re new to it and you have totally no idea what to do and how to do things. In parenting, you need to understand your child’s behavior, his patterns, and his personality. By doing so, it will be easier for you to adjust how you should discipline him to be a responsible being in the society.

The Corona Virus pandemic has caused major disruptions in day to day life. Virtually everything has been affected – Homelife; Schooling, Work; Entertainment; Communication; Business, etc. A major effect of this is that all over the world, even the most ardent technology skeptics have been forced to acquaint and/or re-acquaint themselves with new ways of doing things.

"Nobody likes me." "I don't have any friends." "I am lonely and sad." "I'm Bored." "What's wrong with me?" Nothing touches the heartstrings of a parent or teacher more than seeing the left-out child. We wish there was something we could do to ensure the child will be, if not the most popular, at least included in the games on the playground.

Most girls wish to become a princess when they are young, but does every girl grow up without knowing the difference between the real world and the fairy tale? Most of the family nowadays have seen some princess movies with their children, but what children learn from the movies could change what they become. We cannot deny that princess culture would not affect a child, but this culture is not detrimental to young girls because becoming someone is always a child’s dream, and children can also learn some valuable lessons from princess movies instead of just looking at the pretty dresses that they wore in the movie.
Teaching?
It's been three years since I started working in nurseries and private houses. My profession, as i said in my previous story, changed a lot. I actually never imagine myself working with kids, also, kids from 6 month to 5 years old (in nurseries).
