Parenting 101

Many of the parents actually make life decisions without thinking how it would affect their children. One of the very first steps towards empowering the children is actually taking note of what decisions we are taking. Trying to pay attention towards how we live our lives, what our behaviour is towards our children etc. Our children tend to imitate whatever we do so it is important that we keep an eye on the general way of life.

Parenting Tips To Help Your Child Be Empowered
Positive Attitude: One of the important parenting tips you should keep in mind is the fact that your positive attitude will be taken in by your child. If you seem to be angry and sulking around your child will suck up some of that too. So being conscious of your own behaviour and your own mood is a very important criteria towards empowering your child.

Like the law of attraction which is quite popular (the amount of positivity you give to the universe, you will get back just that). Being able to have positive expectations towards your kid will help them be empowered. Show your child that you trust them and show them that you are patient and confident in them. This primary trust is a true sign of child empowerment

Passing on Beliefs That Work: An important parenting tip is to remember to pass on beliefs to your child that actually works. Instead of setting unnecessary high expectations, try to work with your child and make them understand what is good for them by being patient and understanding.

Responsibility: Being able to set a schedule for your child is important but you should also remember not to make your child strictly follow the routine or adhere to it. They should also not lag behind the schedule. They should to some extent be able to make their own decisions without you having to push them all the time. Once they get accustomed to it they will adhere to it in time.

Honesty: One of the very important parenting tips to remember is to teach them that being honest is very important. Kids tend to avoid the truth if they see that the conditions are unfavourable, but make them believe that they can trust you so that they can confide in you without lying about anything.
Positive Parenting involves an open network of unbridled conversation between you can your child along with the sharing of insight.
If you want to be fathers and mothers who are always there for their children, you can read about ways to achieve this.

• Be a Reliable Force that is Always Present: Whether you are parents to a two year old or a teen, you should know that your ward is in constant need of your acceptance and support. There exists no age when you can let your teen think he or she is not important to you. You must also know that kids understand your intent through your actions. So if you hope to be the reliable force that is always present, be there for your toddler by not missing out on feed and nap time.

Parents of kids who are between ages two and five can get involved with them in activities during play time. Be it building blocks, a toy tea party or setting up a house of cards, you can always get down and spend some quality time with your ward.
It is Crucial to have a Regular Talk about School
School is a time when your ward is away from you for the better part of the day. This is a space where your offspring can be bullied, coerced or simply left out of things by the other children.

Therefore, one of the most important positive parenting tips is to get a complete account of your ward’s day at school. Getting into a friendly conversation about this on a day to day basis can show you warning signs that let you know when your ward is in trouble.
Even though you may be tempted to know your kid’s progress, keep the conversation simple and friendly. You want your sons to be able to come to you about issues rather than hiding them or making silly decisions.

• Facilitate Emotional Maturity the Right Way:
Gaining maturity early on is a great way to help your little one make all the right decisions. Help your pre-teens develop emotional astuteness by categorizing feelings as constructive and destructive ones. This is a great exercise for little ones who do not understand the motive behind anger, jealousy and greed. If you can help them comprehend the fact that feelings like selfishness and pride are not so desirable, you succeed. At the same time, remember to propagate feelings of empathy, happiness and being selfless.

Doing something as simple as applauding your youngster for academic achievements or commending her for a considerate attitude toward a classmate can go a long way. Most children are eager to please parents and constantly look for ways to make their folks proud. You can give them a way to do this with these effective positive parenting tips.

Body Positivity and how i Struggle with my weight

Unfortunately, self-image and body image are inextricably entwined, making it difficult to find a balance between the two and feel good about ourselves. Many of us, no matter what shape or size we are, are fixated on the number on the scale or our reflection in the mirror, rather than paying attention to how we feel. But whatever your scale tells you, feeling comfortable in your own skin starts with you and what you tell yourself when you look in the mirror, no matter how hard it is in a society that worships unrealistic images of beauty.

It is not easy to turn your negative body image into a positive one, but there are ways to learn how to look at yourself in a healthy, appreciative way by changing the way you think about your body.

Scrutinise the media

Be critical of messages that the media sends out. Scrutinise images and slogans that reinforce a negative body image and ask yourself how realistic the images are and how few people actually come close to what the media defines as ‘beautiful’. Once you see this for what it is you will feel a lot better about yourself.

Celebrate your body

Celebrate all the things that your body is capable of; how it can make you dance, run, feel, breathe, dream, laugh, love…

Beauty is a state of mind

Try to remember that real beauty is a state of mind. Do things that make you feel good about yourself. This will give your self-esteem a boost, enabling you to carry yourself with confidence and self-acceptance which will make you beautiful, whether or not you look like a supermodel.

Surround yourself with positivity

Surrounding yourself with positivity, whether it is people, places or things, makes it easier to feel good about who you are. Being around others who are positive and supportive will show you that you are liked for the beautiful human being you are.

Banish negativity

Those voices in your mind that say negative things should be shut down and overpowered with positive thoughts. Try to find motivational affirmations that speak to you and, in turn, speak them to yourself!

Look at the big picture

When looking at your reflection in the mirror, try to see the whole person instead of fixating on your separate body parts and singling out those bits that you’re not happy with. We see others as a whole person, so why dissect ourselves?

List the good stuff

Make a list of things that you admire and love about yourself that are not related to your appearance. If you take your time and really think about this you’ll see how long this list can become. Remind yourself of all the good stuff as often as you can.

Show your body some love

Show your body some love by doing things that show your appreciation. This can be a massage, a candlelit bubble bath, 20-minutes of sunshine on your skin or wearing beautiful lingerie.

Thank your body for being the vehicle in which you can live your life and be active. Look at yourself with more appreciation and acceptance. Thank your body; you belong to each other and that makes you a beautiful

When your body positivity is on its high Weightloss is the next step

For many women, confidence in their appearance contributes to their self-esteem and their perception of themselves. Most women have a specific view on how they would like their body to look and today they are able to enhance their attractiveness through cosmetic surgery or lose weight with the Keto-diet.

My Infertility Struggles and what helped me to conceive.

Infertility is experienced by a lot of partners these days, because of which i have missing anticipation of ever being a mother.

My husband and i have been trying for 3 years to conceive. Being affected by the problem of infertility, then you can easily understand how traumatic and emosional the problem can get. My doctor told my husband and i, i suffer from hormonal imbalance and my body will take a long time to heal.

I’ve searched for some holistic and natural fertility remedies, because i had to take matters into my own hands and researched and found Lisa Olson’s book. I have soon found it to be a treasure that I could refer to repeatedly. The clear cut logical yet compassionate approach that tackles infertility from a totally different perspective had captivated me. I have followed the 5 step recommendations and after less than 4 months of trying, I finally succeeded in my long and painful battle.

What’s on my desk

I spend more and more time at my desk these days, doing everything from preparing the family taxes to working on this blog. Because of this, my workspace is constantly changing. Holding the clutter at bay is challenging, so I prefer to keep nearby only a few quality items that serve multiple purposes over a stockpile of things I might never need.

My daily planner

My planner is one of those simple ring binder journals you can pick up from any stationery supplies store. White paper. No ruled lines to cage my venturesome handwriting and doodling. I’m an obsessive note-taker and fill pages to the margins with to do lists, rough sketches, and ideas for blog posts. I usually go through one planner every month.

Staying Organized

Who me? Organized? My husband might tell you otherwise, but I do find it hard to keep track of our weekly schedule. You know: school, swimming, grocery shopping, tidying up, paying bills, remembering appointments and so on. Fortunately, in our house we all pitch in. No one person does everything. But we do have a little secret that helps our day run more smoothly.

Travel Tips

There are millions of tips out there on how to fly with kids, what to bring on camping vacations, which suitcase to buy, where to go and what to see in just about every corner on Earth. What I want to share today is something a little different – something that we discovered last summer during a family hike in the Appalachians.
