The count is on. It's only a few sleeps until Christmas day. The family is in Chaos with Christmas shopping and present wrapping. And then there is all the Christmas celebrations that are on.
I have a 7 year-old son who does not like to do school work. He says it is boring. Like the majority of young kids during Math's, English, Science classes & Lessons they will easily lose his interest, unless you show him funny and playful visual aids. Let’s face it! Kids need to be kept engaged to hold their attention. With the advent of modern technology, our children often set aside school activities just for the sake of playing electronic equipment. This is definitely not my idea of a healthy kids activity. How to get them away from the TV and involved in other activities for kids? Why not enroll them in art classes and lessons where they can have fun and develop their creative talents.
Photography classes & lessons at school. Of course this is fabulous and I totally support the schools teaching kids these hobbies and art forms. I still remember those huge cameras that photographers used during the 80s and 90s and still have some today...somewhere. But nobody uses these anymore. The development of modern technology has brought many changes. Surely, it has made many mundane tasks easier and quicker but machines and technology cannot do everything. We still do need skills ourselves. As an ongoing activity for kids, helping kids choose a hobby is something that all of us should try to do.
If your kids like to watch sport or news, they may be starting to ask quite a lot of questions about "drugs" in sport. Especially after the Lance Armstrong debacle. Perhaps your kids are asking what are "Steroids"? Mum?
It's the never ending battle. How to get your kids to practice their "very expensive" kids activity that they have chosen? In our house currently it's the piano but it is the same with any musical instrument. Now, as a parent I want to share with you some tips on how to motivate your kids to play and practice the piano, so that they enjoy this instrument they have chosen to learn.
When did Halloween become a Kids activity? For so many of our celebrations and customs today the true meaning has been lost in the total commercialization of the historic day.
Well it is not often that you will find me talking about some great TV that shouldn't be missed. However, I am not suggesting here that kids just stare aimlessly at some mind- numbing television program.
I have a friend with a son who was born with autism. Children with special needs like him require special attention. Their condition affects their normal development in many aspects including physical, emotional, social, and mental development. Despite his condition, I know that he can still grow up as a normal child
Kids If someone tries to grab you, yell out, ‘Go away, I don’t know you’. This lets other people know you have been approached by someone you don’t know.
Pictures can make memories last. But home videos are more fun to look back on, aren’t they? I have a four-year-old toddler and I record almost every milestone that she goes through – her first birthday party and all her firsts kids activities.
Every child goes through the phase of wanting to be a rock star. Sooner or later, your kids will be bugging you to get them a guitar. When my son started primary school, he said that he wanted to learn music and he asked me for a guitar for his birthday. He said he wanted to be like the guitar gods he has seen.

The changeover of sports seasons especially from winter to summer sports is always an expensive time of year for me. Why?
