Daily Schedule
1. Allow plenty of time for children to make choices in child-directed play. Child-directed play allow children to choose from a variety of activities including dress up, sand play, clay, art, etc.

2. Plan group time based on children’s ability to attend. Children should always feel involved and part of the group.

3. Provide ample time for transitions to minimize children’s frustrations.

4. Create routines that encourage children to be independent. Routines help children feel comfortable and secure. A consistent routine provides certain expectations and helps reduce any behavioral problems.

Environment and Activities

2. Provide supplies that reflect children’s identity and culture.

3. Enhance the dramatic play center with mirrors and dress up clothes to allow children to explore.

4. Label bins and toy shelves so children can participate in clean up.

5. Keep hand washing supplies and self help materials within children’s reach. Hand washing supplies help in preventing the spread of germs.

Romantic Getaway

I love to travel. I’m sure everyone loves to do the same:-) So I was just joking hubby about going away for a little vacation just the 2 of us! And saw thisromantic vacation riviera maya! Not sure about the place. But I’ve heard that they have beautiful white sandy beaches in there too plus with the package all inclusions, it sounds really interesting! Good food, beautiful view and a good night life to boot! I’m sure I will have a great time away with the hassle and bustle of the city. And of course away for days with being a Mommy…:) I will bug hubby if it’s possible. I’ve read that Karisma Hotels has collections of divinely favored properties on secluded white-sand beaches on the Mexican Riviera Maya. Now, that sounds pretty interesting! I’ll read more on this one and see if it’s possible for me to have a getaway!

Enhancing Your Child Self Esteem

Here are some very useful tips!

Interactions
1. It’s important to talk positively with children about identity and physical characteristics. Use positive words and offer praise to help children feel a sense of accomplishment. The more you encourage children, the more they gain confidence to do things on their own.

2. Make sure to give children individual attention during activities and routines. Take time to listen to what each child has to say and ask questions. The child should feel like his or her thoughts are important.
3. It’s helpful to call children by name and include their perspective in conversations. Make sure that every child knows that what he or she has to say is worthy of being heard.
4. React to teasing or rejecting among children by intervening to discuss similarities and differences.
5. You should speak with children at their eye level often throughout the day. Speaking at eye level increases communication effectiveness through eye contact.

Stocks

With the economic turn down, one must be wise with dealing money these days. Although one must also try and survive! So when the husband talks about stocks and trading, he would ask me when I’m going to try and learn the ups and downs. As if I have enough knowledge with this things. haha But he’s always been an optimistic person. He’s been doing this things over a decade ago! Not that he’s an expert but he knows things around and I’m glad everything seems to be smooth sailing. Of course, with the crisis going on we had to let go on others. But I just have to learn more, I guess! Good thing there are online sites where I can do the homework like this iron condor. Tools that enables you to work easy and fast in online trading and options!
