Hi Tracy, thanks for dropping by. I understand that, as I am doing the same too. I hope we can always learn from each other and motivate each other too.
Are you a stay at home mom too?

Hi Lee Ka. Yes I am also a stay at home mom, I want to start working again but the salaries in my area are so low that it’s not worth it as I would then have to pay someone to look after my little one. I also do all the Admin work for my husbands business. Any tips I find out about I’ll pass on to you.

I really like posts like this , good to do it your self and carfted your self, i guess its really will be done with love, that no one can really do. we all like our kids but we also we are limited with money, so what to do, just like you posted, do it with budget caue im sure there are things tomake a great party while you are spending maybe just few things to buy.
I made birthday for kid with recycling things such as bottles and spend some money on things i was nto able to doat home like plates with superman and cups and so on. you know sometimes you do know thing but you do have to find someone to remind you about

All so very true, I agree routine is a must even though it is not always easy to set one. Keeping a little one busy is also a good way to keep them well behaved and out of mischief.

Agree with you, @tracy, keep the kids busy is one of the good way to keep them stick to same place for hours long, but hopefully never with the T.V . Hehe!
The vehicles games can get the boys love into and play for long hours while Barbie toy is the most favourite of the girls.
I keep my boy busy with routine house core, he has his own broom, mop, cleaning tools set, thus he has something or tasks to do at home everyday, so he has not time for running here and there. Hehe!
He loves to do all the tasks because of self fulfilment and joys! -
good tip to do while talking to kids, but kids are differetnnt and what good with one it may be bad with other, also some are sensitive, some the other way around they need real hard time to learn, we raise them but the society and the mixed jeans means that they come with some attitude that we cant control but can trim. also some kids you find them nice when they are naughty, i mean being devil is sometimes wanted so the kids able to face and learn and do mistakes also. and being childish for kids that less than 5 years is really cute and sweet. thanks for your tips and well writing posts

Hobbies are important. My children had no T.V growing up and that left time for them to develop their talents. One became an artist and a musician and the other can really sing. I never heard they were bored and they always had energy for their hobbies. We also did ice-skating which was fun. The secret was always to follow the child’s interest and never impose something on them that they were not willing to practice at. That is how I ended up having to have piano lessons. The kids hated them, but I had paid and I think both the teacher and I were glad when that money was used up! I still maintain not having a T.V was the best decision I ever made although of course, being older, we also avoided the intrusion of the Internet till the kids were quite old as it was not really in use.

While our daughter was growing up, she asked for a guitar, so we bought her one. She studied guitar through a book she bought and she can already play it while she sings.
Then, she wants a tennis table and played table tennis with her father. After a while,she became busy with studies. The playing of table tennis stopped and the table tennis was kept. The table tennis is now nowhere to be found.
Though her guitar is still at her bed. She didn’t even play with it when she came home for a brief vacation because she is into watching Korea novela instead on her laptop.
But at least, whatever she would like to try, we give it to her.

For me, the best thing is to have another peer come over the house. I did that to our daughter when she was still a kid.
We would ask the neighbor’s kid to come over the house. The kid would be there in the house with our kid the whole day. The helper would let the kid eat with our daughter and they really have fun playing.
In the evening it’s our turn to play with our daughter. 🙂
-
Yes, you are right, @Dina,the kids need another peer, if not, they might need the parent to stay along almost the whole day.
I have two kids, so they can play with and play around sometimes, but do need the guidance from the parents sometimes.Some single kid can play and stay alone for hours, it’s good also for them to have “me” time, I think.

There is a lot more you can do. I would like to write an article on this myself. As we did not have a T.V as my kids were growing up I have a lot of experience! One thing I did was create a craft box with all sorts of things to make things with and paint and brushes and glue and junk. If it would work to make something, into the craft box it went. We had many happy afternoons getting that box out and once, my daughter and I used a huge cardboard box and made it into a play oven. That was an afternoon and then other afternoons “cooking” for the dolls.

Those are actually all the things I did when I was younger. I am a 90’s child so cellphones and computers were fairly a recent thing especially the Internet.
But my favorite things to do when I was a child was playing with my neighbor. Would would make up the weirdest games,camping in our back yard or just play finding Waldo.
Those were the times we’re we actually spent quality. time with people.
Now a days I see children with iPhones even and that is something I dont find right. I can’t say how to parent a child but let them be a child while they can. Once technology hits it will be impossible to get them off it.

leave the office for lunch can help too? An interesting point! I love it! Does it because we can have a rest from work, and come back with a fresh mind and head, so can help in increase the productivity?
Stay focus is very important, I agree too, it will help us not divert from the goal and make sure we are heading toward our goal, and in the fast way!
