Cars is a 2006 American animated children's film produced by Pixar and directed by both John Lasseter and Joe Ranft. It is the seventh Disney/Pixar feature film, and the final film by Pixar before it was bought by Disney. Set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic cars and other vehicles, it features voices by Owen Wilson, Paul Newman (in his final non-documentary feature), Bonnie Hunt, Cheech Marin, Jenifer Lewis, Tony Shalhoub, John Ratzenberger, George Carlin, Daniel Lawrence Whitney and Michael Keaton as well as voice cameos by several celebrities including Jeremy Piven, Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Bob Costas, Darrell Waltrip, Jay Leno, Michael Schumacher, Tom & Ray Magliozzi from NPR's Car Talk and Mario Andretti. The film is also the second Pixar film to have an entirely non-human cast after A Bug's Life.

Cars premiered on May 26, 2006 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, and was released on June 9, 2006, to generally favorable reviews. It was nominated for two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature, and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film. It was released on DVD in late 2006 and on Blu-ray Disc in late 2007. Related merchandise, including scale models of several of the cars, broke records for retail sales of merchandise based on a Disney·Pixar film, with an estimated $5 billion in sales.[2]

A sequel, Cars 2, is in pre-production and set for release during the summer season in 2011.

Ten Tips : How to Overcome Child's Tantrums

2010-05-07T12:50:00.002+07:00

More Books : Kids Behavior

Whenever my son doesn't get his way, he screams, kicks, hits, and cries incessantly. I was so frustrated but it never makes the situation better. In fact, it has made it getting worse because when I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, I started to shout at him. But then I realised that I had to find out, what could be done to help him overcome this behavior. And then I started to search and found this tips :

1. What are kids getting out of this behavior?
First make sure that you are not rewarding this type of behavior, positively or negatively because both will help keep it alive. If you eventually give in to this behavior by changing your initial decision (for example not letting your kids go out to play), Kids have learned that tantrums work. Hence, when they want their way they may think, " a good tantrum just may get me that candy bar, it got me out of bedtime last night." Negative attention (yelling, threatening, ridicule, spanking) seldom changes the behavior. Getting you upset may be just as rewarding as giving in to their demands. So again, make sure you are not unintentionally rewarding your kids for this behavior

<p>&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;</p>
2. Be proactive

Think of the situations that invite kids to get meltdown and head them off before they happen. Do questions that require a yes or no answer provoke a tantrum? Instead of "Do you want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or macaroni and cheese for lunch Kiki?" try "It is time for lunch Kiki. Would you like macaroni and cheese?" Advance notice may help as well. "We will be leaving Grandma's in ten minutes. Get everything you want to take care of completed before we go." Then you may want to provide an opportunity for him to take a nap

3. Consequence
Be sure to tie the consequence back to the misbehavior. "Kiki, remember the last time we went to the store and you never stopped crying because I wouldn't let you have that Ben 10 toy? Remember how you kept putting it in the cart and screaming that you wanted it? Well I am going shopping but you won't be going with me. I just don't feel like dealing with that kind of behavior today. Grandmother is here to watch you until I get back. Try to make the best of it. Love ya, bye."

4. Move them to a different location.
The key is for you to model taking care of yourself. Your ears hurt when you hear one of your kids is screaming. You may not be able to control whether or not they have a tantrum, but you can control where he does it. "Tantrums are for the bedroom. Let's go." You may want to give them a choice. "Where do you want to be until you can get that under control, the bathroom or the laundry room?" If they can't decide quickly, you decide for him. "Come on out when there is no more crying and screaming."

5. Notice the exceptions.
Point out the times when kids may have thrown a tantrum but did not. "I really appreciate how you came in the house when I asked without throwing a "fit". You should feel good about being able to do that."

6. Give the behavior a name.
This will help externalize the problem, which is to say, it separates the person from the problem. It helps kids and the family view the behavior as the problem and not him (the problem is the problem). For example, you could call their tantrums the "uglies". This can help put your kid and you on the same side in the battle against the "uglies". Questions like "can you think of a time when you have beat the "uglies" Kiki? How did you do it? or how do you know when the "uglies" are coming? What can you do to stop them?" Kids may enjoy the imagery of conquering the "uglies" and this can give kids a sense of control over the behavior.

7. Acknowledge their feelings.
This aligns you with your kid and sets the stage for them to begin to work through his own problems.

Kiki : "Mom, can I get this Ben 10 toy?"
Mom : "No Kiki, Mom is not buying toys today."
Kiki : Eyebrows coming closer together and lip starting to pucker. "But it is the last one I need and I will have them all."
Mom : "Not today Kiki."
Kiki : Screaming and crying. "You never get me anything I ask for. You don't love me."
Mom : Acknowledging Kiki's feelings. "You must feel really sad about not being able to get this Ben 10 toy. I know I sometimes feel bad when I can't get what I want."
Kiki : Sniffling. "Yea, I really want it."
Mom : "Tell you what. (Taking pen and paper out of planner) I will write this down as "things Kiki wants".
Kiki : "Okay Mom."
You can later use this list for surprises or gifts for special occasions.

8. Tell your kid what you are going to do.
"Kiki, I'll come back down stairs when you get that under control" or "I will be happy to talk to you when you are not crying and you voice is soft like mine."

9. Ignore the tantrum.
If your have the will power to outright ignore the behavior you must remember that it may get worse before it gets better. That is, when kid's behavior doesn't produce the desired results, he may turn it up a notch to see if a higher intensity level gets a response. Be careful. If you give in and respond to the higher level or longer duration, kid learns that is how intense or how long he needs to tantrum from now on in order to receive attention.

10. Direct kid toward a different way of expressing how he feels.
"Kiki, here is some paper and crayons. How about drawing how you are feeling right now." This is a positive, less annoying way of communicating how he feels.

2010-04-26T11:38:00.007+07:00

Just like other kids, my son likes Barney Show for its cute appearance, the songs and of course the dance. And here, I share a bit about Barney and Friends that I found in Wikipedia. And also I share some of Barney coloring pages I found.

Barney Coloring Page

Click on image to enlarge

Barney and Friends is a children's tv show produced in the United States, aimed at very young children ages 1–8. The series, which first aired in 1992, features the title character Barney, a purple anthropomorphic Tyrannosaurus rex who conveys learning through songs and small dance routines with a friendly, optimistic attitude.

Barney the Dinosaur
It is a purple and green Tyrannosaurus Rex who comes to life through a child's imagination. His theme song is "Barney Is a Dinosaur," which is sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle". Episodes frequently end with the song "I Love You", sung to the tune of "This Old Man," which happens to be Barney's favorite song of all time. Despite being a carnivorous type dinosaur, Barney likes many different foods such as fruits and vegetables, but his main favorite is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk.

Baby Bop
A three-year-old green triceratops, Baby Bop has been on the show since the 1991 video "Barney in Concert". She carries a yellow blanket, and sings the song "My Yellow Blankey" to show how much it means to her. She refers to herself as 3 years old. She likes to eat macaroni and cheese and pizza. She wears a pink bow and pink ballet slippers. She is B.J.'s little sister.

B.J.
A seven-year-old yellow protoceratops, B.J. has been on the show since September 27, 1993. His theme song is "B.J.'s Song". He wears a red baseball cap and red sneakers (as heard in the lyrics of his theme). He has lost his hat in the episode Hats Off to B.J.! and sometimes says stuff to hide fears (like in the episode Barney's Halloween Party, he was shocked by the paper spiders and after learning they were fake, he said "I knew that, sort of."). Pickles are his favorite food and because of that, he actually has had them in different ways like pickles (also with pepperoni, peppers, pineapple and peanut butter) on a pizza (in the episode Barney's Adventure Bus). He is Baby Bop's older brother.

Riff
Referred as Cousin Riff by Baby Bop, he is an orange six-year-old hadrosaur, who is Baby Bop and B.J.'s cousin. He has been on the show since September 18, 2006. He wears green sneakers. His theme music is "I Hear Music Everywhere." Riff loves music and it's in almost everything he does. In the episode Barney – Let's Go to the Firehouse, it was revealed that Riff also likes to invent things; he created a four-sound smoke detector (the first three were different alarm sounds and the final one his own voice). He even likes marching bands and parades as much as Barney does.

Origami Crane

2010-04-17T23:35:00.001+07:00

The cranes' beauty and their spectacular mating dances have made them highly symbolic birds in many cultures with records dating back to ancient times. Crane mythology is widely spread and can be found in areas such as the Aegean, South Arabia, China, Korea, Japan and in the Native American cultures of North America. In northern Hokkaidō, the women of the Ainu people performed a crane dance that was captured in 1908 in a photograph by Arnold Genthe. In Korea, a crane dance has been performed in the courtyard of the Tongdosa Temple since the Silla Dynasty (646 CE).
