So, what is this simple and often overlooked step that can give you smoother skin?  In one word, exfoliation.  Exfoliation can instantaneously make your skin look smoother and more radiant.

As you age it becomes more difficult for your skin to naturally slough away dead skin cells and the renewal process slows way down causing your skin to look rough, dull, and lifeless.  With regular exfoliation you can easily remedy this problem and gain more beautifully smooth skin that glows with health and vitality.

Dead skin cells can glob together and get stuck with your sebum which forms a glue-like structure making it difficult for the dead cells to naturally fall off of the surface of your skin.  Exfoliation removes those stubborn dead skin cells, speeds up cell turnover, and stimulates the renewal process.  It’s a very simple yet powerful step that sweeps away any roughness and makes your skin look renewed and fresh.

There are numerous option available when it comes to exfoliating your skin; enzymes, manual scrubs, chemicals such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid, and microdermabrasion.  Each one is extremely effective at encouraging and maintaining a smoother and more youthful complexion.

By exfoliating 2-3 times a week your skin will look and act younger.  It only takes a few minutes but makes a significant difference in the appearance and health of your skin.

Parents may have some reasons why they prefer homeschooling for their kids over public schooling. Although my kids are going for formal education at private school, I have seen that few parents are opting for homeschooling.  The reasons behind homeschooling vary.

1. Bullying at School.

A child can be a target of bullying at school if he or she is different from others.  Sometimes, bullying can go really bad. Demi Lovato, American teen actress and singer-songwriter, opted for homeschooling in seventh grade because she experienced painful bullying at school.

2.  Kids with Special Needs

Children with mild ADHD may go through formal education in the beginning but find out that the lessons are too fast for them as they go for higher level. They can’t go to special school for children with special needs because the curriculum is too easy for them either.  Then, homeschooling is the better choice.

3. Education Cost

For parents who work overseas and kids can’t go to public schools in the country but you can’t afford for high cost of  international school, homeschooling is an alternative.

Apart from the 3 reasons above, there are parents who insist to educate their kids at home. The benefits of homeschooling can be greater than public schooling as your kids learn  real life education. 5 main benefits  of homeschooling are:

1.  Real Life Education

Daily chores or living skills become parts of homeschooling such as home organizing and cooking.

2. Freedom

This can be time freedom. You can arrange the time for learning and the choices of subjects. Kids feel more relax, no pressure and concentrate more with home atmosphere.

3. Individual Attention

Your child will receive undivided attention from you.  The amount of time allocated to learn each subject  depend on the abilities and interests of the child.

4. Moral and values

parents can instill  moral and values in homeschooling curriculum. Kids will see what is taught and what is being practiced.

5. Health

You don’t have to worry if there is pandemic because home environment is clean.  Your kids enjoy healthy diet from home meals and they are stress free.

Apart from advantages, there’re disadvantages that you must tackle it.

1.  Lack of Social Skills

Kids don’t meet often with their peers. Try to organize with homeschooled parents community to meet up and let kids have their time together. You can let your kids to join enrichment activities outside such as music class, sports  so they will meet their peers.

2. Competition

Competition can be healthy. Homeschooling kids don’t have a benchmark. Competition at school push kids to excel against each other. You have to set the benchmark or goal for your kids.

Visit  Homeschooling Resources Community.  I often visit BBC School to equip what my kids learn from school. BBC school has interactive learning. With the resources from the internet, parents can learn to be a great teacher for their kids. For parents with homeschooling kids, you can share your experiences or resources here. Thank you!

Younger kids should have a bracelet or a necklace of name tags with the information such as phone and address or they have your name card in their bags.

7. In airports, bus stop and train stations, never leave your luggage unattended. Instruct your children not to touch other people’s luggage, or pick anything up from the floor.

8. Do not wear expensive jewelery or clothing that stands out. Don’t carry more money than you will need. Consider credit cards or travelers cheques.

When kids do science project, help them to write down or record their experiment and observation. They can note down what materials they use, the procedure, the result or what happened. They can add picture, photos, their own drawing, a chart and table. This exercise will train them to be an organized and observant person when they grow up later. Remember to have fun with science project even if the result doesn’t come as expected.
