Kids grow up fast and there are so many things and habits which we want them to develop!

Responsiblity and promotion of daily good habits are two of the most important one. These activities will kids to be personally more responsible and how  to develop personal good hygine-

1.BEING RESPONSIBLE-

This activity is interaction based. Talk with your kid about what happens when people don’t do what they are responsible to do. For example if plants that don’t get watered wilt, garbage smells if not taken outside, animals and children that don’t get food get hungry. Discuss with them is it fair to expect others to do our work. Decide together on the tasks of each family member. Should people be able to do only things they like. If your child is not agreeing to perform the assigned task then discuss the consequences ifparents are not working or they don’t prepare meal. Give him variety of real life examples so that he can really understand the importance of the asigned task.

2.PROMOTION OF DAILY GOOD HABITS-

Take a chart and with help of your child write two headings on the top.”Friends of teeth”, “enemies of teeth”. List all good things you can do for your teeth under Friends of teeth, . Under enemies of teeth include the danger signals of bleeding, swollen gums, a hole in the tooth, sensitivity to hot and cold water. Talk about what hurts teeth like hard candy, not brushing at bed time, using teeth as bottle openers, . Post the chart where children brush thier teeth as a reminder of good health habits.

Mothers are always concerned about the activities of their kids. Especially during vacation times!

Kids demand attention, they are never ready to just sit idle. We as mothers try our best to keep them occupied with so many things. Coloring, painting, craft work, Internet sites, reading, pretend play, visit to parks, etc are the various ways kids keep themselves busy. It’s a fact that whatever activity kids are involved in is helping them to develop some skills for themselves. Painting and art activities help in enhancing creativity, craft work helps building holding skills, pretend and play help in expressing themselves.

At times kids ask you for certain other activities as they can get bored of doing the same usual activities. Then we have to be innovative and patient too! While searching out for ways to keep my kid busy at home I came across various tips which I will love to share with my readers. As the list is big enough to share in one go, therefore I will keep the series on with every passing week-

1. MAKE ME POSTER- To recognize your child’s interests.

Markers, gum, large sheet, magazine pictures, snapshots, scissors

Go through different magazines and papers with your child. Find pictures of your child’s favorite things like what’s his favorite food, pets, clothes, .Cut the pictures down and paste them into large sheet of paper… Make big captions on the chart like “look at me when I was 1 years old!” or “My granny dear”.

This activity gives a special feeling to your child and says to him that you are special to us. This activity will definitely build self-confidence in your child!

2. WORD GAME

Paper, Marker, Small Box

Decorate a small box and keep it in your kid’s room. Every day post a new word in his room and discuss the meaning also. Then keep that word in the box. Review all words once a week. You can add different variations also to this game. Show different words to them and ask them to choose. Then attach all words card together to make a word train. You can make this game more dramatic to involve your kid into it fully.

Happy vacations!
