The world around them, even if it’s just the home that they’ve always lived in, is filled with things they don’t understand. It is the unknown that often leads to fear. Fear for a child is very real and it can be difficult to soothe or help them get over. Warmth, whether from the embrace of a parent or loved one (someone they trust) or from a blanket or stuffed animal, is one of the best solutions to help soothe a child when they are upset. Children cry and have tantrums for a number of reasons and what they want, what they need at that time is not yelling or ignoring, but something they can hold onto, something that they associate with peace, comfort, and safety. A child gains comfort from warmth. This is because of the connection they have with the parent when they are babies. The mother’s or the father’s body is warm and as a result, the baby feels that warmth and associates it with being safe. As the child grows up and learns more about the world around him, it makes dealing with issues easier, but anxiety and fear can still remain. When the child has something warm to hold onto, it brings back the natural sensation of being protected, of being safe. The next time your child is upset, offer him or her a <a href="http://www.snuggables.net">warm stuffed animal</a> to hold and you will begin to see that even though they may continue to cry for a little while, they’ll calm down with that warm comfort in their grasp. At <a href="http://www.snuggables.net">Snuggables.net</a> we offer a variety of cuddly <a href="http://www.snuggables.net">warm stuffed animal</a> with inner heat packs that are just what your child wants when comfort is needed. www.snuggables.net Calming Down an Upset Child with Warm Comfort

I didn't. I instantly scanned my brains' hard drive to see if I could come up with "the" answer. None there. Now my son's got me dying to know what pearl of great wisdom I was about to learn. In fact, he peaked my interest so much that I would have snapped at anyone wrecking the moment of truth that was about to enlighten my mind. What in the world could my 7-year old so certainly know about every kid in the world? Not wanting to miss the answer the world was waiting to learn, I gently replied, "No, son, I don't know. What DOES every kid in the world want?" Realizing I was about to hit the jackpot for the latest and greatest new fad to hit the world, I waited for what seemed an eternity for the answer from my carefree son, hoping he wouldn't get distracted by a squirrel in the mean time and forget what he'd been talking about. Finally he announced, "Kids want to be tickled by their Mom and Dad." Really? That's it?? Wow! Profound. I was completely dumbfounded. I was also riveted as this new understanding dawned in my mind. It wasn't about things we gave them. It wasn't about where we lived. It wasn't about places we took them. What every kid in the world wanted most was the warmth, love and endearing attention that came from their Mom and Dad during those playful carefree moments of the day. Our tickle time conveyed to them acceptance and security that they were still unconditionally loved, no matter what had happened during the day. They longed to be tickled, to laugh and be held by us. It shouldn't have been such a surprise to me that this is true. It just caught me by surprise that my 7-year old son could express that need so definitively. I was aware of studies that have proven how critical the warmth of human touch can be to preemie babies or any newborn struggling to survive. It could mean the difference between life and death, whether a child had been held often. I guess I just hadn't taken that need further into childhood and likely beyond that to realize the profound need that humans have for comforting warmth, companionship and touch. In fact, that need never gets filled up and goes away. My kids never tire of hearing us tell them we love them. In fact, they'd be happy if we stayed by their side until they fell asleep every night. That's where we've found that Snuggables come in handy. Not just any stuffed animal, but a soft <a href="http://www.snuggables.net/page/plush-stuffed-animals">WARM stuffed animal</a> that they can hug tight, feel the warmth, relax and fall asleep holding. It's the perfect nighttime replacement for the warmth and security of Mom and Dad.

You’ve seen pictures of healthy families with smiling faces, babies with red cheeks, etc. Do they have secrets to good health? Are the parents ‘better parents’? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing many healthy families understand is the importance of clean air with regard to reducing or preventing asthma, allergies / allergy symptoms, even colds and flu, from plaguing their kids. Long before a baby is born, many health-conscious families know that baby development relies heavily on the quality of what the mother eats, drinks…and breathes. Chemical residues from household cleaning materials, paints, carpets, solvents, and other products, even in small amounts can build up and end up affecting the development of a baby, if these things are present in the mother’s food, water, or air. And if there is smoke in the house, or if the mother is in smoky environments, the baby has a whole new list of carcinogens and damaging chemicals to deal with. It amazes me that many parenting classes do not cover the subject of maintaining clean air before and after the child is born to prevent illness / birth defects. What’s the big deal? Once permanent developmental damage is done to a developing baby, it’s done. The child may now have physical, mental or learning disabilities for life. Fortunately, this is a problem that’s preventable by making sure you and your child / baby breathe clean air, either by avoiding polluted air, using an air purifier, or both. Once a child is born, they still do not have a strong immune system for 1-2 years. Other household contaminants like mold, radon, bacteria, viruses, dust mites can not only hurt development, but they can make the whole family sick. Single parents, who have even less time in a day, would be well-advised to make sure the indoor air clean to prevent things excessive trips to the doctor for allergies, allergic rhinitis (allergies/runny nose), asthmatic bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial tube tissue plus asthma symptoms), allergy eye drops for kids, etc. Dealing with allergies, asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, etc in toddlers / children in general is very time-consuming and much of it simply would not be an issue if the child was not breathing dust, bacteria, viruses, mold spores and more in the home they live in. Did you know that every gram of household dust has about 200 dust mite ‘animals’ in it, and this is responsible for 60% of allergy / asthma cases worldwide? That dust carries bacteria and viruses, too, so it's a good idea to get rid of it! This is as much of a health article for adults as it is for kids. Healthy families take actions to prevent the things that cause health problems, and one of the single best things you can do to prevent allergies / asthma for you and your child, and / or safeguard your unborn baby and its development is to get a quality air purifier that can remove airborne allergy/asthma causing particles and chemicals, such as the <a href="http://www.airpurifiersandcleaners.com/austin-air-babys-breath-air-cleaner-hm205-bb.html">Austin Air Baby’s Breath</a> for babies / toddlers’ rooms and the <a href="http://www.airpurifiersandcleaners.com/austin-air-healthmate-plus-air-cleaner-hm-450.html">Austin Air HealthMate Plus</a> for main living areas.

Ask any child who has ever painted a picture, been part of a choir or danced to music. In addition, the arts teach many important lessons that enrich our lives. The arts help children learn to say what they cannot say. For example, when you ask a child how he feels, he might say he doesn’t know. If you then ask him to draw a picture and explain it to you, very often you can determine how he feels by what he says. A good way to introduce your child to the arts is to hang a painting, such as View at Cherry Hill, in your child’s bedroom and talk with him/her about it. Ask how many trees there are, where the tallest is and how many colors are in the picture, among others.

The sun feels great, warming your skin. But this warm sun will also damage your skin if not protected. The sun’s harmful rays will damage a baby’s skin faster because their precious skin is so thin and new, it hasn’t experienced the elements of the world. If a baby’s skin does get burned it will cause damage that will affect them possibly for the rest of their lives. It is so important to protect their skin by trying to avoid the sun between the hours of 12p.m. – 3p.m., making sure that they have a hat on and most importantly that they are wearing a sunscreen. Sunscreen should be applied all over their bodies at least 20 minutes before going into the sun; this will allow the sunscreen to be properly absorbed into their delicate skin. Since you want this cream to be absorbed into the skin so that it creates a barrier, you don’t want a cream that is full of chemicals and harsh additives. A sunscreen that contains all natural ingredients is the best for your baby. You will even feel good putting this sunscreen all over your baby’s delicate skin. At Baby Maya, our<a href="http://www.baby-maya.com/product/eababysun">Sun ‘n Fun Sunscreen</a> is an all natural cream that protects against UVA and UVB rays.

They need the lessons that being in the arts teaches. The arts teach children to think through and within a material.

For example, in art, a figure can be painted the way it appears naturally, it can be painted as a cartoon, or it can be colored – say, blue. Each of these ways can have a large effect on the viewer. In music, there are many variations on a theme. Some move faster, some slower, some with more colorful and happier notes, some sadder than the original. In drama, each actor has a characteristic manner of saying the lines. These are subtleties we all enjoy. A good way to introduce your child to the arts is by hanging a painting, such as Menagerie, in his room. Your child will love the bright colors. Menagerie is an original <a href="http://www.murphyartstudio.com/product/1193">framed oil painting</a> on Masonite.

Music lessons can be expensive, and not every child is a candidate for violin or piano. Human beings are naturally rhythmic, since we all have a heartbeat, and walking and talking also have a rhythm all their own. So how does a parent provide musical experience without breaking the bank or imposing a rigid schedule of lessons and practice? Even if there are only two people in the family, you can have a lot of fun and help your child's brain develop by creating a family band. Almost anything can serve as a drum, rattle, shaker or sound-making device. You can make your own mallets and drums out of everyday things. Starting with a simple 1-2-3-4 beat, you and your children can play along to favorite songs. You can also fill cans with beans or rice to make shakers. Even two instruments can be exciting. Your young children will use their whole bodies to express themselves and you can join in - the more the merrier! Eventually, you will probably want to advance to a real drum.

We as adults usually just take our medicine and go about our usual daily routines, but a cold can really bring a child’s mood down. They get stuffed up and their chest gets congested and they just want to feel better. It hits them hard, especially at nighttime when they really need the sleep. I know that when I was a child, it always felt good when my mom would use a chest rub. She would rub it on my chest and back and under my nose and the smell would open my nasal passage and make it much easier to sleep. When I think about it now, smell and heat are some powerful ways to cure or ease cold symptoms. Our <a href="//www.baby-maya.com/product/hankrub”">Eucalyptus Chest Rub</a> is for colds, chest and sinus congestion and can even be used for the sore and achy muscles that are often associated with a cold or flu. It is gentle and mild enough for your little ones and is 100% natural, vegan and petroleum free. Our eucalyptus chest rub is made with cold pressed olive oil, carnauba wax, organic hops, and eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils. Rub it generously onto the back, chest, under the nose, and throat and feel and smell the relief. Mom and Dad will love it as well. At Baby Maya.com we offer a wide range of <a href="http://www.baby-maya.com">Organic Baby Products</a> from shampoos, lotions, sunscreens, diaper wipes to our wonderfully soothing <a href="//www.baby-maya.com/product/hankrub”">Eucalyptus Chest Rub</a> and all at very affordable prices.

They need a daily portion of the arts as much as they need a daily portion of meat and veggies! One of the large lessons of the arts is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. The way Itzhak Perlman interprets a violin sonata is different from all others. The way Pablo Picasso paints is also different from all others. Being involved in the arts helps us to understand our feelings. A good way to introduce your child to the arts is by hanging a painting, such as Stilts, in his/her bedroom. Talk with your child about the painting and the parts of it. Name the colors, count the trees, ask which one is tallest, where the rabbits are. In these and other ways you can help the child enjoy the painting. Stilts is an original oil <a href="http://www.murphyartstudio.com/product/1065">canvas painting</a> and its colors will last a long time. This colorful abstract painting is removable and replaceable as the child grows and will provide decorative <a href="http://www.murphyartstudio.com/original-oil-acrylic-paintings">wall art</a> for him/her to enjoy for many years. Please visit http://www.murphyartstudio.com and find Stilts or another painting your child will enjoy or as a gift to a friend. Feed your children the arts!

It is recommended for infants and toddlers to learn to walk barefoot, but when outside, we want to protect their little feet from rocks or sticks, or unpleasant greenery like thistles. Baby moccasins are made of leather or suede leather which is the next best thing to going barefoot but is also durable enough and thick enough to protect your baby's feet. Leather moccasins for babies also conform to their little feet making walking with moccasins on as natural as can be, unlike some of those bulky awkward baby walking shoes. At Moccasins Canada, we offer baby leather moccasins at the best possible price! Come and see! http://www.moccasinscanada.com/baby-moccasins Oh those precious first steps!

With kids always wanting to try new tricks on their skateboards, it’s important they have everything they need to stay safe while having fun.

What has happened to the English language? Forget grammar and syntax for the moment, can we at least use whole words when communicating? Are we so lazy that we need to abbreviate everything? The more we truncate our language, the more color and nuance we lose from our meaning. One of the reasons our language contains numerous words with similar, but slightly different meanings, is to allow us to put a cross our thoughts more accurately. When using abbreviations in place of words we remove our ability to convey things like sincerity, sarcasm or concern. Another possible danger of this trend is the loss of our language altogether. “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” Just look at these examples from classic literature: “2B or not 2B???” ; “frankly, Scarlett IDGAD”; “god bl$ us evry1”; “Gsus wept” ; I’m sure you can think of a few on your own, but you must see my point. How can we steer our children away from this wholesale butchery and back toward true language skills? One way to promote literacy among children, that is supported by educational organizations all over the country, is Sequential Graphic Story Telling, commonly known as “Comic Books.” Unlike other forms of entertainment, comic books contain an equal ratio of imagery to written words. Because we use one side of our brain to process language, and the other side of our brain to appreciate art, reading comic books engages both sides of the brain simultaneously, strengthening the neural pathways between them. The colorful artwork will attract a child’s attention, and the action sequences will make them want to read the story. The serialized format creates an incentive to return to the story and read more. Furthermore, the highly imaginative story lines, although mostly fictitious, are often filled with scientific or historic references that can ignite an interest in these areas. All in all, comic books are an excellent tool to combat illiteracy. At White Dragon Comics we have a wide selection of <a href="http://www.superherocomicbooks.com/new-comic-books">comic books</a> on a variety of subjects, suitable for every age group.

Parents are the central figures in the education of their children as they are the heart of their children’s universe. Children can be involved with the arts at any age. As a very young child, they can put color on paper, enjoy their mother’s singing and can have fun dancing. As school children, they can take a more active role in the arts. A good beginning is to hang a colorful painting in a young child’s bedroom. A painting such as Allen Park has simple lines and large areas of color. A parent could ask, “How many trees do you see?” Or, “Which tree is the tallest?” Or, “What lives in the tree?” to help the child’s enjoyment of the painting. Allen Park is an original <a href="http://www.murphyartstudio.com/product/1068">oil painting</a> on canvas. No one else will have one like it and its colors will last a long time.

Sure, there’s plenty of sports teams for your kids to join - you can be their coach. Too bad if it’s not the right season. There’s also many different kinds of lessons they can take - you can sit and watch and cheer them on. But what about something that you can do at home, that doesn’t take a lot of time and that everyone can participate in? That doesn’t include TV, video games or any other kind of technology? (Drum roll please) I'd like to suggest African drumming. There are drum circles forming all over the country, but it's easy to start one with your own family. All you need is a space large enough for everyone (this is what family rooms are for) and some African drums. Most African drums come in various sizes, are easy to transport, and easy to play. Sure, there are some very accomplished drummers, and you can learn a lot from them, but if your heart is beating, you can drum! Children of all ages can participate in creating or matching a rhythm. You don’t need lessons, although there are plenty available online. You just need to keep the beat. Little ones love to march around and make a parade. Older kids like to drum to songs they know. You can include other kinds of hand instruments like rainsticks, ankle bells, shakers, flutes, tambourines, and chimes. There are many different kinds of African drums too. Djembes (pronounced jem-bays), djun-djuns (jun-juns), doumbeks (doom-beks), bougarabous (boo-gar-a-boos), and ashikos (a-sheek-os) all have sounds complementary to one another. At our online drum shop we offer many different kinds of <a href="http://www.djembedrumsonline.com/African-drums">African hand drums</a> on sale at best online prices, from 4” diameter mini djembes to free-standing <a href="http://www.djembedrumsonline.com/other-drums">ngomas</a> that are 46” tall. All are beautifully hand crafted from sustainable forests and guaranteed to bring many years of drumming pleasure.
