Have you ever observed that almost all children are naturally interested in growing things? Not only does it give them a chance to play in the dirt, but they also seem to really enjoy watching the plants grow. It is an enjoyable experience that can also be extremely educational for children. You’ll find that there are many rewards for both you and the child when you offer them some gardening activities, even if you don’t necessarily have a thumb for gardening. In fact, you may love doing it so much that you decide to make growing plants a regular part of your schedule. The following are just a few of the many possibilities to consider when looking for something fun and educational that will also draw your kids into the outdoors.

Have your child grow their own salad

If your child doesn’t like having to eat his vegetables, then showing him how to grow your own can be a great way to encourage him. Children who normally protest eating vegetables often become much more open to the idea if they see them growing in their own garden. Even if you have a very small garden, you should be able to find enough space for your child to grow a tomato plant, a type of lettuce, and maybe a pepper or cucumber plant. The truth is, these plants can even be easily grown in a container on your porch, patio, or balcony. It’s best to start small with just a few plants, so your child isn’t overwhelmed by the need to care for a larger garden. Small vegetables like cherry tomatoes are often favorites with children. When starting out, you can start with some already sprouted plants that you bought from a nearby garden center, or you could even try starting with seeds, which will allow your kids to learn even more about growing things. Encourage your child to keep the plants watered and weeded, and they’ll soon be rewarded with tasty fresh greens. Once this happens, plan at least one meal with a salad made from your child’s crops. You might even want to get some snapshots of your family enjoying the delicious salad so that you can later put them in pretty red frames and hang them in your kitchen.

Try germinating some seeds

Even if the weather is cold and doesn’t allow you to grow things outside, this doesn’t mean you can’t sprout some seeds inside in the meantime. Buy a few packets of seeds, such as beans, cucumbers, or squash. Since your child will likely be handling the seeds as well, he’ll want to check and confirm that they haven’t been treated with any harmful chemicals or pesticides. Lightly dampen a few paper towels with water, then spread them out on a counter or other work surface. Next, put several seeds on the paper towel. Fold the paper towel around the seeds and place them in a warm place. You will want to spray the paper towel with a little water from time to time, because the seeds will not sprout if the paper towel dries out. Covering the paper towel with a plastic bag can help keep it moist, but make sure the seeds get at least some air. Unfold the paper towel each day to check the progress of the seeds. The sprouting seeds and leaves are sure to be fascinating for the child to look at. Take a couple of photos of the growing seeds so your youngster can display them in great little frames to remind them of the experiment. If you go to the natural and organic section of your grocery store, you can even buy mung beans, alfalfa, and a few other sprouts to make salads. Put them in a glass mason jar, rinse them with a little water, and then completely drain the water from the jar. Repeat this process every day until a few sprouts form. Then use them to finish off a tasty salad.

You will be surprised at how well your children will do growing their own plants and how much fun they will have in the process. You might find that you even have a lot of fun too!

The time has come. You’ve had enough of overpriced Cookie Monster diapers and can’t deal with the smell for another day. You decided that this morning, little Johnny will start potty training and he will be potty trained like a big boy. How hard can it really be? You will ask him if he needs to go to the bathroom, he will say that he does, he will run to the bathroom and all will be well with the world. Later that night, his Facebook status will say, “Wow, this potty training thing is easy!”

Unfortunately this is not reality. For many, toilet training is an extremely frustrating and time consuming process. You envision a cooperative effort between you and your child, but instead, your child draws a line in the sand and starts a potty training war. Sounds familiar?

Most of these problems are caused by one thing: a lack of proper preparation. As with most things in life, it’s a good idea to analyze the situation and formulate a plan before you begin. Jumping blindly, aimlessly and purposelessly, only sets you up for failure.

That being said, you don’t need to spend weeks or months preparing. You just need to complete a few simple steps:

1. Determine if your child is ready to start potty training

This is the most important factor to consider. If your child is not ready both physically and emotionally, the process will be much more difficult than it needs to be.

2. Teach him the process

Before the potty training process begins, teach him about the potty, and more specifically, the toilet. Books and videos are very effective, along with watching dad (obviously, a child may relate to dad better than mom).

3. Buy a commode chair

Full-size toilets (and even adapter seats) can scare a child who is just learning. Keep it simple and get a potty. You’ll be glad you did.

Debt consolidation is known to be the most efficient means of reducing debt and regaining the ability to obtain financing by improving credit history. The main advantage of debt consolidation is that you stop paying multiple bills, loans and balances at variable rates and start paying a single fixed monthly installment. This has a significant beneficial effect on your finances.

Why do Consolidation Loans come with lower rates?

The reason consolidation loans have lower interest rates is that the purpose of the loan is to pay off all or most of your outstanding debt and replace it with a single loan. Thus, the lender will become the only creditor or at least the creditor with the largest part of the debt. Since the borrower now has a single creditor and a single loan to repay (with lower and more affordable payments), the risk of default is greatly reduced, which in turn allows the lender to offer more convenient loan terms.

How do home consolidation loans work?

Home ownership offers the borrower the benefit of even lower interest rates. Secured or unsecured consolidation loans, when tailored for homeowners, have lower rates and generally better terms than non-homeowner consolidation loans. This is because the property acts as collateral for the loan. When it comes to secured loans, the property guarantees the loan directly in the form of collateral or collateral. In unsecured loans, the property also guarantees the loan because it is part of the borrower’s general assets, thus increasing the amount from which the lender can collect the money it delays in the event of a default.

Plus, homeowners not only get lower interest rates, but also longer, more flexible payment schedules, and consequently lower, more affordable monthly payments. This helps to avoid the risk of late payments or non-payment and thus contributes to improving the credit rating of the borrower.

How is the credit score affected?

The Homeowner Debt Consolidation Loan helps raise your credit score and improve your credit history in several ways. For starters, the reduced amount of interest you’ll have to pay and more affordable monthly payments have an immediate positive impact on your credit report. In addition, continued and timely payments on your consolidation loan installments will continue to raise your credit score and improve your ability to obtain financing with better terms and more competitive rates. Over time, those blemishes on your credit history will be gone forever, and you’ll regain a good credit tag that will allow you to get cheaper financing. Therefore, consolidating your debt with a home loan is the smartest option if you have debt problems and fear that you will not be able to pay your debt.

Raising children is challenging and it takes work to raise intelligent children. Not only intelligent intellectually, but emotionally and spiritually. Many people are surprised to think that they need a job. Well, sorry to bother you a bit. Becoming a happy person takes work. Have you ever seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” with Will Smith. The message is simple and clear: work, work, work and work some more and then you will have everything you want.

The same principle applies when you are raising children. I am going to give you 3 steps that you will follow to raise smarter children with neuro-linguistic programming techniques.

1. Manage your own emotions. The first step to raising children who obey you and with a healthy self-esteem is that you can manage and master your emotions. If you want your children to be confident, be confident yourself. Do you want them to shut up? Don’t yell at them. Stay calm first if you want them to calm down. What is the level of your self-esteem? Consider working on yourself first, rather than doing everything you can to change your children. In fact, it’s quite easy with the proper neuro-linguistic programming techniques.

2. Tell them the reason why. You are more likely to change a child’s behavior by explaining why than by asking them firmly to change the behavior. Teaching the why is teaching a principle behind the behavior. Teaching principles and values ​​has more effect in changing behavior than just talking about behavior. That is the value-behavior relationship of the 6 logical levels, one of the many great techniques of neuro-linguistic programming.

3. Redirect your attention. This works great with young children. When they cry, instead of yelling at them to stop crying, and I’m guilty of that sometimes, you just redirect their attention. Quickly ask them to look at something else, or listen to this other sound. Repeat the process several times if it doesn’t work once. This has 2 effects on yourself: you become more creative and you take pride in yourself because you are conquering your emotions. You are dominating them. Happiness! There are many more neuro-linguistic programming techniques to help you master your emotions very easily and quickly.

Let’s start with a little history about the company. The company name ‘doTERRA’ is a word derived from the Latin meaning “Gift of the Earth”. It was founded in April 2008 by a group of six executives. doTERRA executives No Have an exit strategy. The company has been cash flow positive since July 2008.

doTERRA makes a bold claim to be the only company in the world to have produced CPTG (Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade) essential oils. Unlike other competing companies that sell essential oils, doTERRA guarantees its as pure, sure, powerfuland tried.

What exactly are CPTG essential oils?

In essence, they are the highest possible grade of essential oils available on the market today. First, they are PURE, which means they are 100% natural with no artificial ingredients, fragrances or fillers. Second, they are SAFE, which means they are certified free of pesticides and other chemical residues. Thirdly, they are POWERFUL, which means that they have been produced with standardized active compounds. Fourth, they are TESTED by independent laboratories, and not by internal staff or vendors.

What makes this network marketing company special?

Personally, I have been involved in the network marketing industry for the past 7 years and have never seen a company with as high a retention rate as doTERRA. Approximately 65-70% of all new IPCs (Independent Product Consultants) stay with the company. This statistic is three times the national average for network marketing companies.

Now the reason why I would say they have such a high retention rate is 3 times as follows:

• The cost of membership is very low and there are no ongoing fees.
• The company has a Loyalty Rewards Program where having a certain number of purchases a month will result in increasing cash back over time. In other words, if a new IPC is already getting around 30% off retail prices, come that many months later they’ll get an additional 30% off their purchases. That’s 60% off retail prices just for staying with the company and buying the products used.
• doTERRA has a promotion almost every month. In fact, they just introduced a special product club where loyal customers get a free “product of the month” on top of their monthly order.

Is doTERRA a kosher company?

There are three things to keep in mind when identifying a legitimate versus an illegal opportunity. First of all, doTERRA is operating as a legal network marketing company. There is no debate here because network marketing itself is a legal industry proven by the US federal government in 1979. The next two paragraphs will determine the ethics behind doTERRA.

The second reason doTERRA is a kosher business is the initial money spent to become an IPC. it’s not go to the immediate upline. It’s paid to the company as a sort of administrative fee that also gives it access to its own replicated website that people can shop on. This is an important point because there are many network marketing companies that place too much emphasis on enrolling new distributors for immediate upline benefit. In general, this would be an unethical practice that would damage the company’s reputation. However, doTERRA is a firm company with a solid foundation. It was built and operates daily with honesty and integrity.

Third, we found that doTERRA has a modern compensation plan. There is no emphasis on “recruit, recruit, recruit” new CIPs. In fact, I have never come across a network marketing business as ethical as this one until now. The reason is that the products really work and they work fast! There are regular training webinars. There is no one yelling and yelling for you to go out and find new distributors.

Last words…

doTERRA has one of the best compensation plans in the industry that fully rewards your productivity. So if you do nothing, you get nothing. If you do a little, you get a little. If you do a lot, you get a lot, and so on.

The problem with doTERRA and 97% of kosher network marketing companies is not their products, but how they teach to find new distributors to build their business. They typically teach the “old school” paradigm of essentially harassing friends and family from one’s “hot list.”

The question is, why target people who were never interested in the first place? Why waste time? There has to be a better way and I’m glad you asked because there is. Is called attraction marketing which means we want pre-qualified leads coming to us first of all instead of us going out like headless chickens to look for them.

So when you’re ready to learn the “new school” methods, you’ll need an experienced leader like me to show you the process. Then, and only then, will your doTERRA business really take off when prospects start coming to you.

He was always concerned that his teenager would enjoy sex, and his doubts were confirmed when he found packets of condoms and birth control pills in his bedroom. How does a parent approach a teen and tell them about the need for safer sex? How does he warn them about the pitfalls of teen pregnancy? What is the best approach to inform them about sexually transmitted diseases?

Most teens tend to learn about sex from sources other than school and parents, and this leads them to have preconceived notions about it. As a parent, it is your duty to educate your child before he approaches his teens about sex, the need for safer sex, and the consequences of unprotected sex.

His immediate reaction when he finds out that his teenage son has been having sex behind his back is to scream and take out his anger. If this is the option you choose, you will only succeed in creating a rogue who will likely end up doing it more times than before.

Most parents are uncomfortable talking about sex even with adults, so the question of discussing things from the right perspective with their teens just doesn’t come up. It is those parents who are most surprised when they come to know that teen sex.

Talking about sex is not a one-time affair that you do on a particular day and then completely forget about it. Your teen may have many questions about sex that he deems appropriate, and it is his duty as a parent to answer all his questions in the language he understands and not to confuse them with the language of adults.

As a parent, you need to address the physical and emotional aspects of sex as you talk about it with your teen. Don’t indulge in a long lesson on what to do and what not to do.

Most teens are comfortable with either parent, and if your teen is a girl, you as a parent can talk to her about the pitfalls of unsafe sex and teen pregnancy. As a parent you could have a conversation with your child about sex and its consequences at an early age. Teenagers prefer to talk to their respective gender parents about sex, as the awkwardness is less.

You could also tell them about the various sexually transmitted diseases and the precautions to take about them.

If you come to know that they have indulged in sexual activity, then you need to make them realize the importance of love in a relationship and that sex is just one beautiful aspect of it. You will need to approach the whole thing in a mature way and inform them that there will be consequences of sex, which at such a young age they may not be able to properly understand.

It can also provide them with knowledge about AIDS and other deadly sexually transmitted diseases that could be life-threatening. Most teens succumb to peer pressure and your role as a parent is very important as it can give them the confidence to withstand and handle that pressure.

Sex and sexuality are beautiful aspects and you as an adult need to make sure that you provide your teens with the proper knowledge by communicating with them and removing any kind of misunderstandings that they may harbor about it.

In the book “Solving Adolescent Problems” several tips have been given to deal with adolescent sex education. The book also provides several communication models for having difficult conversations with teens so that you can structure your conversation for optimal results.

Indian art and culture have a rich heritage. Every Indian identifies with this creative legacy. Belonging to the state of Odisha, Pattachitra is one such chain of the ancient Indian pictorial tradition. The styling is immensely classy to say the least. The word Pattachitra is derived from two Sanskrit words, ‘Patta’ meaning canvas or cloth and ‘Chitra’ meaning paint. The artists are very skilled in this art form and are known as ‘chitrakars’.

Pattachitra, one of the oldest art forms in Odisha, mainly depicts the characters and tales from Hindu mythology. Lord Krishna, Lord Jagannath, Lord Krishna-Radha, Lord Shiva & Goddess Paravati, Lord Nataraja, Kanchi Abhiyan and Tribal Life are the main inspirations for these paintings. Rich colorful application combined with ornamentation and imaginative designs form the basis of this art form. The Pattachitra tradition still exists in traditional Oriya cities such as Puri, Raghurajpur and Chikiti.

Pattachitra paintings are made with very fine details. They beautifully reflect both the people and the traditional elements. The art form employs natural media. The surrounding things are used to make the paintings. Only natural colors derived from vegetables, earth and stones are used. Yellow, red, black and white are the 4 key colors in a chitrakar’s tablet. One of the most distinguishable features of these paintings is the red border. Even the brushes used are made from the fur of domestic animals. The skins are tied to the end of a small bamboo stick.

Traditional Patta paintings were done on small strips of cotton cloth. To prepare the canvas, a mixture of chalk and tamarind seed gum is spread on the canvas. This gives a shiny leather-like finish to the fabric, which is then rubbed with two different stones. Finally, the cloth turned into canvas is left to dry. Once ready, the chitrakar experts directly use a brush to paint on the Pattas. Coloring follows drawing. To further enhance the brilliance and protect the paintings for a long time, fine lacquer is applied to the surface. All this time, the back of the painting is exposed to fire. Tussar silk is another preferred canvas after cotton. Over time, the shape and size of the canvas have also become varied.

A variation of the Pattachitra canvas is the palm leaf. These Pattachitras are known as Tala Pattachitra. The paintings are drawn and colored on the palm leaves, which are sewn together to form the canvas. These days, Tala Pattachitras are pasted on handmade papers to prevent the art pieces from being damaged.

How can you have chronic pain and fatigue and NOT be depressed? Everyone, healthy or not, struggles every day with the stress of raising a family, their jobs, financial problems, family illnesses, and yes, death and taxes. You have to get the kids to school on time, pay the bills, go to work (if you can work), clean the house, feed the pets, water the lawn, pick up the kids, take them to soccer, piano. classes, making dinner, getting the kids to do their homework (good luck) and you have to do all of this AND MORE with debilitating pain, fatigue, migraines, IBS, TMJ, RLS, etc. Just thinking about it is depressing!

Fibromyalgia patients are often misdiagnosed with anxiety disorders and depression, implying that “it’s all in your head,” but research has consistently shown that fibromyalgia is not a form of depression or hypochondria. Anxiety and depression COEXIST with FM and treatment is important because both can worsen FM and interfere with symptom control.

From my own experience, I can tell you how easy it is to let it get the best of you. There were days when I would just lie down in my dark room that I called “the cave” and isolate myself from my family and friends. I avoided leaving the house unless absolutely necessary and when I did, all I could think about was getting home and getting into bed. The more depressed I got, the more pain I was in. The more pain I was in, the more depressed I got!

I had anxiety attacks and the stress of a bad financial situation was more than I could handle, or so I thought. There were times when I wondered how the hell I was going to spend the next day: how much longer can I deal with this? I felt hopeless, powerless and useless. My self image was horrible and my confidence level was non existent. I was ashamed.

Have you ever felt like this? I hope not, but IF YOU HAVE, there is a way to get yourself out of the pit of depression and anxiety! You can become a productive member of your family and of society as a whole. It’s not easy, but what choice do you have? You know you don’t want to live like this forever.

I always hated the idea of ​​therapy! First of all, the effort it would take me to leave the house was an important factor. Second, I didn’t want to tell my whole sorry story to a stranger and wasn’t even sure they would believe me about the fibromyalgia part. There are still some mental health professionals who believe that FM is more psychological than physiological. I didn’t want to hear it.

About a year ago my son needed therapy for depression and anger issues. I took him to several professionals and one suggested (in front of my son) that he could cure my fibromyalgia because it was more emotional and psychological stress than a physical problem. The next day, we went to another therapist. I didn’t trust him to help my son if he was going to say that to me. We finally found one that was a good fit for our family as we would all be participating in my son’s therapy. It didn’t take long for me or the therapist to discover that I needed help too. He saw right through me!

Therapy has changed my life in so many ways and with a caring professional guiding me, I have regained the control I had given my fibromyalgia. It helped me see my worth, my positive traits, and taught me how to deal with my pain, stress, anxiety, and depression. Talking about it with an objective party is also a way to heal emotional scars and it was such a relief to expose it all! He also recommended a new antidepressant to my doctor which has helped me a lot.

Perception is everything. I perceived myself a certain way and became exactly that.

My father was recently diagnosed with small cell lung cancer; he never smoked. It is the rarest form of lung cancer that is fast-acting and incurable. He was devastated when I heard the news! My dad is my hero and my rock: life without him is something I can’t even comprehend. I really lost it for a while, but with counseling, I’m finding my own way to cope. I still have bad days, but I’m trying to get through them in a healthier way. The woman she was two years ago would have returned to his cave and never come out.

There are many medicines, supplements, and herbs that can help. Talk to your doctor about which ones might work for you and always check for interactions and side effects! I have a lot of information on prescription drug alternatives, therapies, and other resources on my website that might be of help.

Don’t be afraid to take the first step and find a good mental health professional! Really worth it. I am now a working “fibromyth” and although I still have pain and other problems, I can get through them one day at a time. If I can do it, so can YOU!

Some 4,000 years ago, a boy named Elmusu wished his Babylonian father good health and a long life by carving a Father’s Day message on a card made of clay. No one knows what happened to Elmusu or his father, but the tradition of having a special day honoring parents has continued through the years in countries around the world.
