    When a child is hurt, it is a natural instinct that he wanted to be comforted by his parents and grandparents immediately.

    In contrast, parents and grandparents themselves, wanted to shower the child their […]

    • They just want to know that your are there for them

    • S hurting child will sometimes be very quiet, and not really say anything just in case he is told that he is being too petty about some issues. When a child is hurt that will always throw tantrums others will get aimlessly just like you have mentioned above. And that can be very annoying trying to stop that child from crying can be a huge mess. But the best way is to show them that you are attentive to them. It’s not really about what you will give them but just your time would change everything. Time is very essential most people take it for granted they don’t spend much time with their children’s making their kids feel vulnerable and neglected and that’s why they will always get and throw tantrums.

    • In my case when a child is hurt I check what the issue is and then treat the child accordingly. I do not like to treat the child with kid gloves always. Sometimes it is needed to be done but many other times I explain them why they are crying and when they will stop crying and how they can help themselves in the situation.

      I see many grown children also crying nowadays. For very minor issues. I feel they have been turned into delicate darling’s by there parents by showering too much of love and affection and also by being overprotective. This sort of a thing will never help the child and will turn out to be a problem when they grow as adults. An interesting article giving information on how to handle different children with varied mentalities. Best wishes.

      1.5 liter chicken stock, homemade or store-bought
      2 to 3 stalks baby bok choy
      spring onion, diced, for garnish
      sesame oil, to taste
      salt, for cleansing the prawn meat
      corn flour, for cleansing the prawn meat
      Fillings:
      250 gm pork mince
      160 gm prawn meat
      3 shiitake mushrooms, soaked and shredded
      30 gm bamboo shoots, frozen or canned, blanched in hot water then shredded
      20 gm wood ears, blanched in hot water then shredded
      Marinade:
      2 tsp light soy sauce
      ½ tsp salt
      ½ tsp sugar
      ½ tsp oyster sauce
      1 tsp cornflour / corn starch
      ½ tsp chicken powder / chicken bouillon

    How much exercise is enough?

    • Those are good tips. Lifestyle that has movement could keep one healthy.

    • What you mention here are very informative especially to those people who keep on complaining about their body weight, sick, and their hobby is just sitting and watching television or internet at their home.

      In my case, though I am not so active now but my physical exercise include running (morning or afternoon)and biking. During the height of my running, I do it even 5 times a week. Biking now is my favorite exercise. Its good feeling when you do it.

    • Exercise is most essential part of human life if no exercise means a walking hospital. n other words, exercise aims to maintain or enhance our physical fitness and general health. People exercise for many different reasons. Some of them are included below:

      Benefits of Exercise in Daily Life

      Strengthens the muscles that are involved in respiration – exercises facilitate the flow of air in and out of the lungs
      Strengthens and enlarges the heart muscle – this improves aerobic conditioning – pumping of blood and the heart rate (lowers the pulse of a person when they are resting)
      Tones muscles throughout most of the body
      Reduces blood pressure
      Improves circulation
      Raises the number of red blood cells, in turn facilitating transportation of oxygen
      The sleep quality of insomnia patients can improve with moderate exercise, a study found
      Improves mental health
      A study found that exercise reduces migraine suffering
      Reduces the risk of heart disease and cardiovascular problems
      Helps improve survival rates of patients with cardiovascular diseases significantly, as researchers found
      Stimulates bone growth (high impact aerobic exercise), reduces risk of osteoporosis
      Increases stamina or endurance – aerobic activity increases the body’s ability to store energy molecules such as fats and carbohydrates within the muscle
      Increases blood flow through muscles
      Improves muscles’ ability to use fats during exercise, thus preserving the intramuscular glycogen.

      We all human being must make exercise daily at least 30 to 45 minutes to maintain health for future life and old age. No walk, no exercise in life is injurious to health.

    • I have far too many bottles plastic and glass. I use some and the rest are just disposed of.

    • Number 4! Genius! I never thought to do that with old calendars. What a good idea! 🙂

    • These are all great ideas. Tins, jars, plastic bottles etc can be used in a myriad of ways.

    • Great Ideas. Things at home are probably of many used, only if we know how to utilized them. Aside from those that is being discussed, I want to include the following things:

      BUTTONS. If you have only two attractive buttons, make them into a pair of earrings. If you have four attractive buttons, make them into a pair of cufflinks, chain-stitching a cord between each pair.

      CALENDAR PICTURES. Enamel shabby wastebaskets and paste on calendar pictures for new decor. (Scenic ads and posters can also he used.) Shellac over the pictures for longer wearing and washability.

      CANDLE STUBS. For corking bottles when you’ve lost the cork, soften a candle stub so that it fits the neck of the bottle. Candle stubs also make excellent fire starters. Candle stubs can be saved and melted together and made into new candles, using old bottles or milk cartons as molds. Also, candle stubs can be melted and poured directly onto paint in a half-used can of paint so that the paint will remain airtight and soft.

      CAN KEYS. Save an occasional key from coffee or sardine cans, as you’re bound, sooner or later, to come across one that has no key. Can keys also provide an economical way to use toothpaste, winding from the bottom of the tube!

    Usually 300 -400 words rate is 10-15 cents

    I write 500 words-700 words- pays 22 cents

    If you can write 800 words, might get 27-30 cents

    But I would suggest that you either write 300 words, 4-5 posts per day, then you can earn approximately 50 cents to 65 cents

    • Love some of your thoughts on things

    • I pray regularly after taking my bath. I usually get up at 4.30 and wash my face. After that sit for prayer. There will be a weed mat on which I sit and pray with open brain and closed eyes. I pray for 15 minutes chanting the name which vibrates within me. I pray for others as I need not pray for my family as His blessings are always there. I do not go to any Church or Prayer Hall. praying is an Art and one should learn it from elders only.

    • I remember a passage on a prayer booklet which i often carry before it says “TAKE TIME TO PRAY FOR IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL THING ON EARTH” Pray without ceasing. When you pray, say what you mean and mean what you say! For God governs the world but prayers govern God. Truly, prayer is an act of meditation where we can be close to God, build our faith and persevere in trials. In prayer we find peace, solace, and solitude. Have you ever experience feeling down and lost and the only remedy to do is to pray? It’s very soothing to pray with all your heart, to give in the hands of God all the hurt that you felt, the sadness of loneliness, and the burden that your hiding in your heart. No one can give you such peace but God alone. Man can always turn back on you drag you down but God will always be there for you no matter what and will stick on you till the very end. Like a loving Father who always wait for her prodigal daughter to bring back to him once again…
