The benafists of playing board games with your kids

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 02:00:00 -0800

There are a number of reasons why playing board games is important for your
children and their growth and development.
1. Reading: A fun way to teach your kid to read. 2. Counting: Counting the dice and then counting the moves is the perfect way
to teach kids to count. They have no idea they are learning. They are just
having fun.
3. Winning: Teaching your kid how to win greatly. 4. Losing: Teaching your child how to lose without being a sore loser. 5. Bonding: Playing board games takes time. By taking the time to play board
games tells your kid you want to spend time with them without them acting out.
6. Cheating: You will be the one to teach your kid to cheat or not to cheat.
Allowing your child to take more moves then they are exposed to allows them to
learn it's ok to cheat.
Our children learn from what we do and how we do it. Family game night tells
your kids "I plan to spend time with you now and in the feature." When the kids
get older it's harder to keep family game night but keep it
going as long as you can. Invite your kids' friends to play at least once a month or so.
Just because your kids are getting older and want to do other things instead of
hanging out with the family doesn't mean you should stop the family game night.
It just means open up to include other family and friends to game night. It just means
open up to include other family and friends to game night.

Teaching kids doing summer

Yes you do need to work with them. If you don't they can fall behind. They lose letters, numbers, and sounds. It is very hard on them. All you need to do is work with them for one hour a day. It is easy to do. Reading goes a long way in keeping their minds working.

You can do a lot in an hour. Read, do some math, and ask questions. Finding activity they will like can be easy and fun for them as well. Allow them the freedom choosing their activity books or reading books.

Thinking fast

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 20:56:00 -0700

Kids can say the oddest things when you tell them to do something. My kids tell me, "I don't have to." or "I'm just a kid. I'm not suppose to." or "I don't feel like it." What? Their father and I are no longer together so his girlfriend will tell my kids they don't have to do any of that. What? I really want to know that who told her she could tell my kids they don't have to listen to me.

I put my kids in their rooms. If they don't want to clean up after themselves they don't have to. They get to set in their rooms until they fell like cleaning up their mess. It takes about not even a minute. They don't like to have to set in their rooms.

The back talking stage and time outs

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Fri, 9 Apr 2010 18:52:00 -0700

           This is a very ruff time for both parent and child. Kids get a bit older and they decide they are big enough to tell you no when you tell them to clean their room. They tell you to stop acting childish because you tell them to stop fight with their sister or bother.

             How I am dealing worth this behavior is first telling them to stop, second giving them a warning, and third time out. My kids will come and ask me every five minutes, "Can I come out now." or "I just have to go to the bathroom." or "I'm hungry." or "Can I have something to drink." My reply is no to everything except the bathroom. But remember that they do not have to go to the bathroom every five minutes. My son will tell me he couldn't go. I tell him tough he needs to wait until he is out of time out.

                When you do time outs it's only one minute for each year of their age. A good method to use is getting an area rug like a bathmat size. They can sit, stand, and or lay down. But always pick one spot in the house for time outs. You can use a timer. Outside time outs can be anywhere. Always make it a point to keep track of how many times you have to repeat yourself.

Being a single parent with kids

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Mon, 5 Apr 2010 22:50:00 -0700

It's not easy to be a single parent. I have knowen weman all my life who were single moms. They didn't have problems like today. Recently I have realize that most single moms are scared to death of dating. I was nerves but not scared. Now I'm just not dating. I focus on my kids like I have been since My husbend and I separated. When they are with their grandparents I'm bored and just plain lost. I don't know what to do with myself. I truely love being a mom. But if you do date here are some tips for you:

1. I have learned never let your kids meet the new man or weman in their own home.

2. Take them out to eat or to the park. Have him or her meet you there.

3. Let your kids get to know him or her.

4. Talk to your children about him or her and make it clear they are free to speak.

Spending time with your kids

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:07:00 -0700

When your kids are little all you need to do is spend time with them. Stop what you are doing and read a book, play a game, or just find something your kid wants to do. Pay attention to them. I know people who say they have no idea what to do with their kids that will not cost a whole lot. Go to the park. Got for a walk.

Doing the summer my kids and I go for a walk around 8 o'clock. Then we get ready for bed and set and watch cartoons until bed time. My kids are getting older now so walking is turning into riding a bike. Better harry and find something to do before they start claiming the tree next door.

Playing with an infent

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:24:00 -0700

Ok I'm going to need help with this one moms. Ok playing with an infant. They will look at you like "Ya your nuts." While I was in the hospital after having my little girl. I learned you are expose to tell your baby everything your doing to them. "I'm putting your shirt over your head. I'm putting your right arm in to the right arm of your shirt." I'm not joking. Let me tell you. You feel really dumb. But if it helps the growth of your baby give it a try. My sister is so mad at me. She has a three month old. I got him to giggle while she was at work. Then when she got home he wouldn't do it. He did do it the next day with her write there. All I did was pinch his cheeks together lightly and made a funny sound. He just let out a small giggle.

Ok list the way your got your little one to giggle.

Want to protect your kids

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:09:00 -0700

All parents want to protect their children. Are you tired of taking them to the park and losing site of them? Do they hide from you in a public place.

Don't lose your kid again. As a mother I do not want anything bad to happen to my kids or any kid. These are small and can go in your kids back pack, purse, and anywhere else you think would be a good place to put it.

Testing and picking your battles

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:55:00 -0700

When a child test your patience. You have to stand your ground. Pick your battles and when you do. You better win. If you don't. Well, your kids are going to run over you. I know. I know. Easier said then done. For it was easier to set down and write a list of different things I was not willing let them get away with and how to handle it.

My mother-in-laws mother has told me taking away her sons sport would make him even less willing to study harder. I understand that. If the child gets an F on his report card. Try teaching him a different way. Maybe he just can't learn it the way the school is teaching him. I made up games for my son. My sons friend would come over and I'll start asking, "Who am I?" games and throw out facts. My son can learn better that way.

Pick up games

noreply@blogger.com (Baby Girl) — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 14:42:00 -0800

Yes you can teach your baby how to pick up and it's a great game to play with your baby. I started playing the pick up game with my little girl when she was almost a year old. I know so young rite. Well, it's not that hard. At that age you just look for ways to interact with your baby. Some people think it's easier and faster to pick up themselves.

Dinner was to be ready in 20 minutes. I sat on the floor beside her and put her bucket close to her. I said, "Pick up time, Sara bear." Sara looked at me like what. I said, "Pick up this one." She just looked at me. I took her hand and placed it on the block. She grabbed it and looked at me. I pointed to the bucket and moved her hand over the bucket. "Let it go." I told her. She dropped it in and we clapped and said, "Yeah." I helped her by moving her hand to where I wanted it to go. We did that the whole time. The next time we did that was the same day. It was bed time and I did the same thing. But this time I didn't take her hand. I just pointed at the block and she picked it up and put it in the bucket. She loved the game. A couple weeks later. She would dump out the blocks and pick them up and put them back in her bucket. She would clap and say, "Yeah."

If you haven't started and now their four or five years old. You can still teach them to pick up their rooms. You just have to change the way you are doing it. When their rooms are a big mess they cry and ask a million questions and have to go to the bathroom or their hungry. Anything and everything to get out of cleaning. We lived with my mother-in-law for awhile and one day she was trying to get my son to clean his room. He gave her a hard time over it. I told her I had a new way of doing it. He got so excited thinking I was going to do it for him. I told, "No. You are going to clean your room by yourself." He gave me a dirty look. I just smalled and asked my mother-in-law for an empty laundry basket. I gave it to him and told him to go and put all his dirty close in it and I was going to time him. After he came back with it. I told him to go and put all his books back on the shelf. After that I told him to go and put all his toys back in his toy box. He comes running in there saying, "Mom I'm almost done with my room." He didn't need me to say anything else.

Learning to talk to your toddler

Learning to talk to your toddler

When my little girl was a toddler no one know what she wanted. I was the main person to take care of her. I know her sounds and movements. My husband and our family never know what she wanted. I saw friends of mine talking to their toddlers. One of my old friends was a punk rocker type. To look at him you would never guess he would be willing to learn and teach his son to sign. He know if his son wanted more or if he wanted milk. He also taught his child manners.

As a mother of two the next time I have a baby I am going to get this book. Some people call people who sign freaks. But signing is a languish. Sign languish is another way to talk to people who can't hear and will open you up to understanding them better.
