In these modern days, most parents are busy. We often overlook to build relationship with our kids. Instead, we focus to attend their basic need and monitor their school activities.

How to Stimulate your Child’s Intelligence

The answer is Learning. Learning is the most effective way to stimulate child’s intelligence. The best period to stimulate child’s intelligence is during their childhood. Early stimulation starts from babies for their benefits of physical and mental development. Simple play or interaction with your baby not only develop a bonding between parents and baby but encourage a baby to explore, discover and learn.
The first 7 years of child’s life is crucial and this is the reason why preschool makes Learning Fun for children. It is also a note for parents to choose kindergarten which integrates learning through play and not mainly focus on academic skills for preparation to primary school.

Get ready for school after a long nice holiday may be hard for schooling kids. Going back to school blues are noticeable for preschoolers and kids who start their first year in primary school. Young kids may experience anxiety of separation from their parents and new environment. I have seen young kids showed their tantrums during their first few days at school. For older kids, they showed anxiety for going back to school in new school year for having a new teacher and new academic challenges. They also showed reluctance for going back to school routine. My eldest was afraid of learning new and difficult lessons when she started her first year at primary school. Now, she was only concerned about having a new teacher for every new school year. My youngest started kindergarten with a confidence and told me: “Mummy, you now can go home! No need to wait me at school.”
As parents, you can do some preparation to ensure kids are ready for school. Take a look at parenting tips to prepare kids going back to school:
School morning routine. Kids may be relaxed during holiday. They can wake up late and go to bed late too. A week before school starts, please make them to go to bed early and start morning routine for readiness to school.
Readiness for school. For preschoolers, parents can talk about pre-school often and visit the school with your kids. Read the book about going back to school for preschoolers may be a good idea. Revise some pre-school activities books may give your child a confidence and lessen their anxiety. For older kids, it may be best to go through some light revision for subjects or lessons that they aren’t good at so they will be ready for the new academic year.
If kids are prepared for going back to school, parents shall have no worries. Some schools may have session “meet the teachers” after the first weeks of the school start. Make use this session to build a rapport with the teacher and to find out more about your child if there are any learning difficulties or other problems.

September 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Toward 21st century, the women’s position is rising to be in par with men. You may see women rise to the top position in politics and corporate world. Working moms are juggling between career and family. I received a feedback from a mom, that dad’s role has changed too. The wives expect their husband to be involved in caring and raising the kids and perhaps in doing house chores to share the burden. You may notice the changes that new age moms have guts, learn new skillox,s and bring their business online with websites and blogs. They have different perspectives for:
Parenting
The parenting style has changed from an authoritarian parent to become an ally or a buddy to our children. How to discipline a child is no longer about a punishment but communicating with a child, correcting a wrong behaviour and preaching a good behaviour. We act as a friend to our kids so they confide in us rather than they trust their friends. With the fast pace of globalisation and technology, we are all worried if these may have negative impacts to our kids. Build a close relation with them so we can instill good values and guide them. We need to follow up the kids’ interest so we can converse the interesting topics with them.
Career
There’s a trend that working moms leave their corporate career behind and establish their home business. Work from home is now possible and it is cost saving. They make their home as Small Office Home Office (SOHO), they don’t hire a permanent staff but outsource from freelancers and virtual assistants. You can browse Work-at-Home Resources for Moms to provide you with business ideas or inspiration how possible moms can work from home. Find out more learning resources for moms, a guide to start service business such as Virtual Assistant Business, Book Keeping Business, or Internet Research Business. If you have a proper guide to equip you with know-how, the service business has a lower start-up cost compared to business selling products.
Social Networking
There are changes in social networking, from offline to online. With the emerging technologies on the web, social networking online is now possible. Moms Network is getting bigger. Moms meet new friends online and it’ is possible to have hundreds online friends through Facebook. Moms exchange views in an online forum and market their home business through social moms networking.
My views are not always perfect. Please share your opinion and get free smart parenting e-book as a token of appreciation. I like this smart parenting e-book, it is not about ordinary parenting but parenting out of the box.
