There are few things more nerve wracking than a crying baby, particularly when nothing you do seems to console him. But, how do you know when your baby’s symptoms have are just crying and when he has colic? And, just what is colic, anyway?

No one knows exactly what causes colic, though many old wives tales abound. Lots of older women will tell you that it is caused by parental inexperience, but colic does not occur more often in first children than in subsequent children, so they One thing that seems clear is that most babies who are experiencing colic have a stomach ache. Many are gassy, though a baby won’t cry so inconsolably every time he has gas, so it is clearly gas plus something, though just what is not clear.

Though we don’t know what colic really is, it is hard to miss when your child is experiencing it. The inconsolable crying usually begins in the late afternoon or early evening and often lasts until the baby finally falls asleep for the night, exhausted. Colic typically begins between two and three weeks of age, and is over its worst by twelve to sixteen weeks, though there are babies who start later and end later. My daughter started at twelve weeks, but thankfully her bout of colic was over in two weeks. A colicky baby will typically draw his knees up to his chest, clench his fists and scream. He may act like he wants the breast or bottle, but reject it as soon as you it’s in his mouth. You will get the sense that your child is frantic, and needs something very badly, but doesn’t know what.

If you believe your baby has colic, it is still wise to take him to a doctor. There is no cure for colic, but you should rule out other causes, such as an allergy to formula or some other gastric disorder. Once your doctor has proclaimed the baby healthy, you can chalk it up to colic.

Once you know that your baby has colic, though there is no cure, there are some remedies you can try. Simethicone drops, which are available over the counter as a gas medication for babies, helps in some cases. In addition, there are numerous tricks you can try such as taking a drive in the car or running the vacuum cleaner that will work for some babies some of the time. But, overall, colic is just a waiting game. Keep the baby (and yourself) as calm as possible and look forward to the day when it will be over.

The question of whether allowances are right or wrong, is one that has been argued for many generations. Now it’s your turn, as a parent, to decide whether or not an allowance is the best way to educate your child about financial responsibility. There are many reasons given on why a regular payment of money to a child should or shouldn’t be done - ultimately I believe there is no right answer, it is up to each individual family to decide what is the best option for them. Through many years of working with parents and educators, these are the top seven reasons I keep hearing on the question of why should kids get allowances.

As I mentioned earlier, an allowance isn’t necessarily the best option for every family, but these are some of the reasons why many parents & educators believe an allowance is the only way to go. Some families though, may not have enough room in the family budget to provide their children with a regular payment, or may simply not believe in it for their own personal reasons. Either way you choose, I have seen with my own eyes, children from each side of the fence who have grown up to be exceptional money managers, and likewise children who seem to have no idea. Ultimately, it comes down to how much guidance a child receives from their parents/guardians on money - whether through an allowance or not.

I hear from many parents that their child is stressed out with schoolwork, tests, finals, finding time to study, and extracurricular activities.

I do not like seeing overstressed children and teenagers. Stress takes a dangerous toll on us-we must prevent it early on.

Sit down with your child and do these three things:

1. Pick out a paper or electronic planner for them to record their appointments, assignments, and to-dos. I like using a paper planner in conjunction WITH something electronic to record all phone numbers, addresses and set appointments.

2. Talk about Priorities and map them out.
What are your child’s priorities? Typical student priorities are academics, family life, after-school activities, friends, relaxing, religion, pets, etc.

Have them rate their priorities according to level of importance. Then track the time they’ve been spending on things. For example, does the amount of time spent on schoolwork reflect the number 3 that your child gave it?

Draw a schedule with your child. Put the days of the week on top and the time of the day on the left hand side. Draw squares for the chunks of time that are occupied currently. Much of the time will be “school”. Include squares for travel to and from school time, wake-up and dress, snack time, and after-school activities.

Once you draw it all out, you can see how much time is left. Having this visual really helps to see when is the best time to sign up for another class or hang out with friends.

3. WADE through the piles of to-dos (Morgenstern)

Write it down-write down the task at hand. A test, a paper due date, a dance rehearsal. Get it in your planner.

Add it Up-Estimate how long it will take. A dance rehearsal that is an hour really can be an hour 1/2 when you include travel time. Overestimate.

Here’s an example-A final exam in 12 weeks requring 200 pages of reading. If you read 20 pages a week for 2 hours, you can get it done with 2 days of review time.

Decide when to do the task based on your time map.

Execute- Do it. Reward yourself. Take babysteps and start the project. Work in 30 minute increments. Silence your inner perfectionist!

For further assistance with teen time management, I know of a summer camp that excels in teaching students skills that encourage maturity, responsibility, good study habits, motivation, and time management. I strongly recommend outside help with teaching kids these important life skills, because part of the challenge with kids is getting them to listen to their parents in the first place! You can eliminate that struggle with a fun, extracurricular program such as a summer camp.

It is my hope that with these tips and recommended resources for teens time management, you can help de-stress your child and provide them with the skills they need when homework overload hits!

Is it Safe?

Without a doubt the most important factor when choosing any educational toy for your baby is safety. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) has published a number of articles regarding safety standards & safety information, as well as keeping a ban list and recalled items list. This is recommended as your first point of call when researching any products for your baby.

Beware of second-hand and hand-me-down toys as they may be broken, missing pieces, or missing important safety information. Be sure to give them a thorough inspection before allowing your child to play with them.

Remember: You are the last line of defense when it comes to your child’s safety, always ensure they are supervised especially when playing near water, even very shallow amounts.

Everyone needs encouragement. So many people in this world feel discouraged, pressed in, cornered, unworthy, unlovable, or completely
overwhelmed by the circumstances of their lives. You can make a difference in one moment if you will honestly and sincerely encourage them. Let them
know that they are capable, that they can do the task before them.

Adults, children and senior citizens all need
to be encouraged. One way to do this is to talk with them,
give them a clear picture of how you see them doing
something well. Give them your vision when they
don’t have their own. Be gentle. Encourage one
moment and empathize the next. Let them talk about
their dreams and how they used to be or in moments when
they felt strong. Sometimes it is necessary to be firm
or decisive about the positive picture that you hold of
them. Don’t waver in your thoughts, be sure that they will
be able to do what they want and do it well. Encourage them to do it one step at a time. Praise these little
accomplishments. Encourage them to something a little
more challenging. Keep recalling that vision of strength
for them. Encourage the positive in them; don’t let them
have a self-pity party.

People may not know what they want to do, and it
is not your job to tell them what they should do.
But you can encourage them towards what they like to do,
what makes them joyful, what makes them feel strong
and empowered. You can encourage them to make choices
that feel better for them.
You can encourage anyone exactly where you are.

If you are in school, or if you are working, find the positive right there. Sometimes a smile is all it takes. If
they are feeling down, a hug can do wonders to make
someone feel worthy or lovable. You can encourage with
your words and your thoughts, by listening, by being a
sounding board, by leading them with your own actions or
way of being.

When you need to be encouraged, come to me, or
go to another person who can offer encouragement
to you. Don’t go to anyone whom you know will
condemn your actions or judge you. Go to the people
with vision and strength of their own who are making
some positive impact. Every creature on this planet can be
and needs to be encouraged at one time or another.
Be that person who encourages others. Encourage with
kindness, with love, by examples, with praise, with your words.

It is as simple as saying ” You can do this.” To encourage
is one of the greatest things that you can do for someone.
This doesn’t mean that you do their work for them. For
anyone to become everything for which they are capable
they have to do it. They have the opportunity to embrace
a new choice, a new way of being, and they have to walk
through it. You can be with them every step of the way.
You can uplift and strengthen by your words of
encouragement.

Also remember to encourage yourself. “I know
you can do this.” “Come on now, you can do this.”
One step out is all it takes to transform a situation,
or yourself. Step after step consistently will bring you
into a new place. Only you or I can take that first step,
and the second and the third. Sometimes you are
the only person with words of encouragement for
someone who is doing something outstanding or great.
Great teachers or mentors need encouragement too;
they can doubt themselves sometimes. They wonder if they are
making the difference, or if they are doing enough. It’s not
easy being the odd man out or to stand up and have
convictions about something when everyone else is going
along with the crowd. If you don’t have any words to
say, a touch on the arm or shoulder, a pat on the back, a smile,
or a spontaneous gift can go a long way. Find ways to
encourage someone. Do so sincerely. Receive
encouragement yourself. Be open to moments when you
can impact someone’s life in a positive and gentle manner,
or a profound way.

I encourage you, my daughter, to embrace
your life, and reach every height that you can! YOU CAN DO IT!!

A baby shower can be one of the most thoughtful gifts you can offer a new parent. Baby showers are a lot of fun, and can be a good first memory for the new parents. And of course, the obvious plus to the parents to be is all the great baby loot they get as well. Well planned baby showers can help save new parents a ton of money on baby necessities, often taking a lot of financial stress and worry away from them. There is nothing like finding out you are expecting, then your next thought being how can we provide everything a new baby will need.

As with planning any event or party, one of the most important things is organization. Having a clear plan and sticking to it will help ensure things go well, and that you, the host, can enjoy the baby shower along with the guests and new parents. You should also enlist all the help you can get, including any willing family members, friends, or co-workers that would like to help with hosting the shower. Having plenty of help will help take a lot of the stress off one person, and will also make it easier on everyone’s wallet by all chipping in together.

Once you have decided to host a baby shower, and have enlisted all the help you think you will need, the first thing you should all do is sit down together and plan out a budget. Since all the hosts usually share the expense of the shower, they should all be included in the budget meeting. One of the first things to keep in mind when planning the budget is how many people are expected to attend. The more guests you have, the more party favors, food, utensils, etc. that you will need, thus making expenses rise. You should also decide where the shower will be located at, someone’s home, a local restaurant, or favorite place. Some hosts will actually rent out a space for the shower, which isn’t very cost effective, but can be good if you are expecting a large crowd. At this time you should also start to think about what type of food will be served, what type of games and party favors you will have, and they type of decorations you would like. Many baby shower hosts will go with a theme just to make things easier on the planning end of things, but keep in mind the parents needs and preferences when selecting one.

After the budget meeting, you should probably begin thinking about the guest list, as you will need to know an estimate of how many people to expect before any real planning can begin. Include the parents family into the planning of the guest list to ensure no one is left out on either side. Accidentally leaving someone off the invitation list can cause a lot of hurt feelings, and detract from the fun for the parents to be. Unless you are planning a surprise shower, it may even be a good idea to ask the prospective parents who they would like invited to the shower just to be absolutely certain you do not miss anyone.

Invitations should be sent out about a month before the date of the shower, to give everyone ample time to RSVP, and allow plenty of time for them to adjust work schedules to attend, purchase gifts, etc. Depending on your theme and budget, you can either purchase invitations, or make them yourself. There are lots of resources available online that can help you with making and printing off your own shower invitations, and many of these end up being more personal and nicer than the invitations available for purchase. It all depends on how much time and resources you have available to invest. Along with the shower invitation, you may want to include a list of items that the parents need, or a note telling guests where the parents have registered. This helps ensure that the parents get items they need and want, which is the whole intent of a shower after all. You may also want to purchase or make thank you cards for the mom at this time, as she will probably be too busy or not feel like doing this herself.

You should try to tailor the menu choices to suit the number of guests you expect, and maybe a little extra just in case. Depending on the time of day the shower is to be held, you may decide to do a full meal, or just snacks and finger-foods. Depending on the number of guests expected, you may come out better budget wise to have the shower catered, or have it at a local restaurant so you have someone to do the hard work for you. Either way, you should put a lot of effort into planning the menu, as it is a big part of a good baby shower.

Plan your decorations and games according to the baby shower theme if you have one. If you are on a tight budget, you can make a lot of your decorations yourself, using either clipart that you can find online, or just printing out some things that match your theme. There are many ideas for baby shower games online, but it is important to keep your guests in mind when deciding on the games to be played. Not everyone enjoys that type of thing, or being in the limelight.

The baby shower is a good time to welcome the new baby, and also make the parents to be feel loved and special as well. Few parents forget their baby shower, as it is often one of the first times they get together with family and friends to talk about and share information about their new little one. Make sure you take lots of pictures, to help preserve these memories for years to come.

Many people write to me desperate to become pregnant but under the impression that all they have to do is to have unprotected sex a few times and you will become pregnant. These couples soon find out that this is not the case; many begin to wonder if there is something wrong with them and start to wonder if they have a fertility problem.

A little investigation into the process of becoming pregnant will show us that the woman ovulates only once a month and that the ovum will only last about 12 hours before it dries up and becomes unable to be fertilized. This little fact alone puts into perspective the timescale a little and when you think that you have been having unprotected sex for 3 months and that to you seems like ample time to become pregnant then think again about the percentage of the total time in those three months that you could actually conceive and you will begin to understand why it is actually a close to a miracle that anyone becomes pregnant at all under the best of circumstances.

We have so much fear of getting pregnant drummed into us as teenagers that we really believe that simply having unprotected sex a few times will undoubtedly result in pregnancy and when it doesn’t we begin to wonder if we are infertile or not.

Simply arming yourselves with a little knowledge of how the process of pregnancy occurs and how the male and female bodies react can dramatically improve your chances of becoming pregnant.

Little facts like how to tell when you are about to ovulate, how the man can increase or decrease the potency of his sperm and knowing what foods are congenial to conception can all increase your chances of becoming pregnant and raise your hopes so you do not sink into a depression about not becoming pregnant which can also have a detrimental effect on the conception process.

Here are a few very general tips I give out to the many people who regularly write to me the very same question… ‘I have been trying to get pregnant for three months and can’t… Please help me’;

* The basic key is to keep a healthy mind and body… i.e., health eating, no drinking, smoking or drug taking (including prescription drugs where possible - consult your doctor).

* Smoking not only causes damage to the fetus in the first few days of existence but also greatly lowers the chances of getting pregnant for both the male and female.

* The use of cannabis or marijuana acts as a natural contraceptive slowing the sperm’s ability to travel by up to 50%.

* Are you aware of when you ovulate? (There are methods outlined at our website on how to do this if you are not.)

* In an ideal situation you should aim to make love a few hours before ovulation actually occurs.

* Repeated ejaculation dramatically lowers the male sperm count. To retain a healthy sperm count you should make no more than once every 2 or 3 days.

* Avoid the use of tight male underwear

I have presented you with a few basic tips which you may or may not have already known. You may also benefit from reading my ebook ‘The No Nonsense Guide To Getting Pregnant’ which can be found here: http://www.pregnantaid.com/guidetogettingpregnant.html

Check out our website for more information and tips and if you feel that you are still doing all the right things and have tried everything then you may want to consult your doctor to see if there is an obvious medical problem as a large percentage of fertility problems do have a solution.

Below are some tips for you to brain storm a kid party theme

Ask your child

It is so easy to get carried away with planning a kid party and completely overlook the needs and wants of your very own child. Therefore, employ your child as your consultant and plan the kid party with your child.

The easiest way is to ask your child what your kid want for his or her birthday party.
Your child may announce that he want to bring his whole class to watch Spider man movie. If your budget does not allowed than you might asked him to choice three of his close buddies to go for the movie and follow by ice cream and brought a birthday cake home for the birthday song.

Always Plan the party with your child —- or at least —- with your child in mind. Thus employed your child as your consultant for brainstorming kid party idea and planning.
You will have lot of fun with them in the process of planning and take this opportunity to communicate and understand your child better.

Hello ! My child is too young to make decision.

For this age of group they don’t have any expectation on their kid party but in general they are curious to anything that is colorful and attract to music. Brainstorming your kid party theme toward this direction and you will be on your right path.

If my child can’t decide and don’t know what he want for his birthday party

Whether it’s looking for information on the safety of your toddler’s toys or finding out about your teen’s chats, searching for financial help for single parents, or looking for advice on a teen’s job, isn’t it amazing how much time you spend worrying about your child? We are all looking for help as parents.

Isn’t it funny how the minute that the nurse hands you that tiny bundle how your whole world changes? You were care-free, you were spontaneous, you were a pretty cool person; you hold that baby for 5 minutes and you turn into your parents! It starts out with colic and teething. Is your child developing as quickly as they should? Why aren’t they talking yet? What worries you changes with their height.

Then suddenly it’s off to school and there’s a whole 8 hours in their day that is unaccounted for; your input seems to be minimal and your opinion counts for less. You hear about something horrible happening to a kid somewhere and you instantly feel nauseous. Could that happen to your child?

As they get older, you start to wonder if they’re going to be able to make it all. How can someone who is 13 and can’t remember their gym uniform going to hold down a job at 16? Or go off to college and live on their own at 18? And if they don’t pull up their grades, are they even getting into college?

We always hear about how raising a child is so different now, what parents have to worry about is so much more difficult. I believe it’s been the same set of worries since time began, just with a different name. We just have more ways of KNOWING what we’re all thinking now. So what are we all so worried about?

1. My Child is not safe online

We have all heard the horror stories and watched the news reports. Predators are out there, it’s true. Has the Internet given them a whole new venue? You bet. How can you protect your child? Give them something to do online! Do they really need another 4 hours a night of idle chit-chat with their friends? Why not give the opportunity to have an online business and make some money!

2. My Child is not learning ANYTHING in school

I’ve been there, you’ve been there; you ask your child what they did at school today, “Nothing.” Or better what they did do at school that day had nothing to do with learning; it actually stopped whatever learning could have taken place. Do the public schools in this country need improvement? Most definitely! What can you do about it? Make sure they’re learning at home, from you and other sources you support about business. How could you involve them more in your own business? How could they be working? What could they be given the opportunity to learn then?

3. My Child spends every minute of life (fill in the blank, watching TV, playing video games, on the phone)

Gone are the days when most of us have a farm so the kids have a few hours of chores to do. Keeping up with what little household responsibilities they may have takes a matter of minutes. Homework is a breeze, which leaves hours of free time that must be filled. Think about how much better that time could be spent, working on a business. And they would have something to show for it!

4. My Child has terrible self-esteem

Ugh, teenage angst; the roller coaster ride of emotions, one day you’re on top of the world and the next you want to hide in your room and never show your face again. It’s difficult to feel your best when you’ve got all this inner turmoil and energy with nothing to do but focus on your problem “du jour”. Having a part-time job or their own business can do wonders for a child suffering with poor self-esteem. The amount of money they make is secondary to the VALUE they will associate with their time and their ideas. When you know your time and ideas are valuable, other day to day problems seem less overwhelming.

5. My Child Couldn’t Be Responsible for a Hole in the Wall

Sometimes don’t you wish there was a video that you could play that would just cover everything for you? The standard video of, “Call at this time and don’t forget that thing, and make sure you bring home this book and where’s your lunch?” It would be such a time saver! If you’re tired of being the one who always has to cover what your child forgot, lost, broke or didn’t do, give them something really big to be responsible for! Something that if they forget, lose, break or don’t do what their supposed to, it’s all on them. The consequences for not running their business in a responsible manner will be huge; and make them broke! And you can save all that time you’d normally spend nagging.

Whatever your child-rearing worries are, much can be accomplished through giving teens jobs, or better yet, starting a business. Your child will be learning, growing, utilizing their time, becoming more responsible and paving the way for future success. Best of all, they will be learning how to think for success: find something you love and DO it. If they can do that one thing, not only are they going to grow up “OK”, but they will have a happier, financially abundant future.

And you can stop worrying. There is help for parents - and it’s in helping your child help themselves.
