Homework in progress - 1

So, you have made sure your child digs into those books for certain hours every day. But how much of it is he/she learning? Here are some ways to make homework productive.

As much as it is a part and parcel of children's lives, homework is also a crucial part of the parents' routine. A For it is the parents, who are more worried about it being useful to the child's development.

It can however be viewed in two ways: either as a useful tool, or a waste of time. No matter how fantastic an idea homework is, the benefits will only be realized if information is properly digested by the child and the required knowledge and practice gained. While much has been written and spoken about how to alter your and your child's schedule to fit in with the homework, few parents realize how much the child is gaining through the daily activity.

There are several things you can do as a parent, to make homework useful (or at least preventing a waste of time). Here are many ways to make sure there is some growth in your child's grey matter through homework. Since you will never know how much attention he/she pays in class! Just read out all the important steps one-by-one in the next articles.

Diarrhoea in Children - 3

Some people develop Diarrhoea after stomach surgery or removal of the gallbladder. The reason may be a change in how quickly food moves through the digestive system after stomach surgery or an increase in bile in the colon after gallbladder surgery.

People who visit foreign countries are at risk for traveler's Diarrhoea, which is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Traveler's Diarrhoea can be a problem for people visiting developing countries.

In many cases, the cause of Diarrhoea cannot be found. As long as Diarrhoea goes away on its own, an extensive search for the cause is not usually necessary.

What are the symptoms of Diarrhoea?

Diarrhoea may be accompanied by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, or an urgent need to use the bathroom. Depending on the cause, a pheon may have a fever or bloody stools.

Diarrhoea in Children:

Children can have acute and chronic forms of Diarrhea. Causes include bacteria, viruses, parasites, medications, functional bowel disorders, and food sensitivities. Infection with the rotavirus is the most common cause of acute childhood Diarrhoea. Rotavirus Diarrhoea usually resolves in 3 to 9 days. Children who are 6 to 32 weeks old can be vaccinated against the virus with a vaccine called Rotateq. If your child has Diarrhoea, do not hesitate to call the doctor for advice. Diarrhoea is especially dangerous in newborns and infants, leading to dehydration in just a day or two. A child can die from dehydration within a few days. The main treatment for Diarrhoea in children is rehydration to replace lost fluid quickly. See Dehydration.

Take your child to the doctor if there is no improvement after 24 hours.

Kindergarchy : The Rules by Children

Children have gone from background to foreground figures in domestic life, with more and more attention centered on them, their upbringing, their small accomplishments, and their right relationship with parents and grandparents. We are current living in Kindergarchy, under rule by children!

Recently I was driving down a popular street and, as I sat at a red light, I noticed a little scene playing out on the sidewalk in front of a coffee shop. This tableau included a woman, a man and their son, who looked to be about 4 years old. I could not hear the dialogue, but the body language said it all.

The parents stood on either side of the child, tilting toward him in supplication. Arms were extended as pleas were made, but to no avail. They stroked the child’s silky hair, made exaggerated smiley-faces and hopped around with excitement as if to show the child just how wonderful it would be if only, he would consent to doing whatever it was they wanted him to do. The child, on the other hand, was unmoved in the extreme. So much so, in fact, that he vehemently crossed his arms stamped his feet and shook his head NO. The parents’ shoulders sagged in defeat as they exchanged expressions of resigned acceptance across the top of the child’s head.

Request denied. Better luck next time.

As the light changed and I drove away, it occurred to me that what I had just witnessed was less of a family outing and more of a hostage situation.

Just last week, while grocery shopping in our local market, I saw a mom engaged in desperate negotiations with her 5-year-old daughter who could be heard several aisles away lodging loud complaints that she was [gasp!] not having fun.

“Please”, the mom said, “I know you don’t want to be here but Mommy really needs to do the shopping, okay? Is that all right with you? It would be so nice if you would let Mommy finish getting the groceries, OK? Please?”

On second thought, that’s not negotiating. That’s just plain begging.

When did the children take over? Did they sneak into my purse while I was watching “All My Children” and lift the car keys? Did I unknowingly sign over my power of attorney thinking I was ordering a school T-Shirt?

I don’t think I am the only one who’s troubled by the mounting evidence that there’s been a power shift in our society from the grown-ups to the children. In fact, enough people have registered this shift that it now has its own pop-culture handle, as defined by WrodSpy:
Rule or domination by children; the belief that children’s needs and preferences take precedence over those of their parents or other adults.
As much comedic material as this trend generates, though, it also gives one pause.

In my opinion, two of the most important tasks of parenting are to keep one’s children safe and to prepare them to function (and, ideally, flourish) in society once they are ready to transition out of parental care. I think allowing children to adopt the tyrannical viewpoint that their wishes and preferences should dictate the reality of those around them (including parents and other adults) and then handling them the power to enforce that viewpoint by giving up parental boundaries and authority works directly against the successful completion of these two important tasks.

I did some research, hoping to come across a pithy quote that would illustrate this point. This is what I found:

“Don’t handicap your children by making their lives easy.”

I interpret this to mean it is a mistake as well as a disservice to try to smooth out or eliminate every single bump and discomfort life rather than help them learn the skills to navigate the bumps and overcome the discomforts they inevitably will encounter along the way.

Sometimes we don’t get to do what we want. Sometimes we have to be patient. Sometimes we are not the boss. Sometimes it’s not all about us. Sometimes we need to improve ourselves. Sometimes we don’t win. Sometimes we have to suck it up.

These are realities in the world of grown-ups.

If the goal is to raise children who will someday turn into grown-ups who are well-adjusted, resilient and with whom other people actually want to spend time, then we do children no favor when we allow them to slip through childhood without learning these invaluable skills.
