Quest for quietness

Quest for quietness

By RUTH LIEW

In our busyness, we forget to be still and take stock of what is going on in our lives. Day in and day out, we keep ourselves occupied with all kinds of activities. We live in a society that believes that keeping busy is a sign of success. Our daily lives are packed with activities and all kinds of noise.

Many people are stressed out in their daily lives. They are unable to gain composure. Anxiety rises when they try to be tranquil. They get worried when there is silence. They need to be in a room that is filled with sounds from all directions. They chatter away without thinking much about what they are saying.

Most adults get anxious when it gets too quiet. Joggers wear headphones and listen to music as they exercise in the mornings. Some restaurants have television sets mounted in every corner. We carry our mobile phones wherever we go.

The average Malaysian child lives in a noisy home environment, with sounds blaring from the television, radio, computer, telephone, mobile phone, washing machine, blender, battery-operated toys and traffic. They rush through the day with a hectic schedule. There is hardly time for stillness and quietness.

Young children like a quiet hideaway place. Sometimes this place is in a discarded box or a space under the stairs or a wardrobe. Some children crawl under the bed or the dining table and imagine they are in another, faraway place.

When they were much younger, my girls used to make a tent with their bed sheets draped over four chairs. These days, they just hang a small sign outside their bedroom doors that says “Keep out”. Children just want to have some time alone so that they can be themselves.

Children need time to take a breather from the demands that are placed upon them. These time-outs can help children get a perspective of how things work.

In early childhood, there are many things that can confuse children. Yet, they are forced to keep up with the pace adults have set for them. They are expected to do what adults say, whether they are ready or not.

We tend to think children only need large spaces to run and play in. We assume that there is hardly any quiet moment with energetic children. Just because they are always up and about does not mean that they do not like stillness and tranquillity. Even the noisiest child will stop and be quiet when he spots a baby sleeping soundly. It is important that children learn to enjoy creating silence on their own.

Most parents tend to force their children to be quiet and punish them for disobedience. This is not the kind of silence suggested here. Being silent means exercising self-control and cooperating with others to create peace.

When a child is unruly and loud, sending him for a time-out will help him to stop behaving in such a manner. Being in a quiet place alone is positive for both child and parent. The child is not forcibly sent to stay alone in a corner of the room. The child goes to the quiet place for some solitary moments willingly and happily.

Doing nothing is a vital component in helping to build children’s imagination and to feed their creativity. Children are often caught in stressful learning situations. They are shuttled to one class or another. They are never free to do their “own thing”. Many achievements children succeed on their own go unnoticed by adults.

When children are given free time, they tend to achieve more because they are not stressed by demands. I remember watching a precocious three-year-old who seemed a little “lost” in her nursery school. While the other children were in their respective classrooms, she would lie down on a large cushion and perform her own soliloquies.

She would say, “I don’t know why I don’t have any friends. I like them but they don’t like me. What shall I do?” After uttering those words, she got up and went to meet her peers in the next room. She had worked it all out by herself.

Children discover their inner selves when they retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We are so bent on making them smart in all aspects but neglect their spiritual development. Some parents feel that religious lessons suffice in helping children to become spiritually aware. The child cannot learn spirituality just by listening to stories and singing songs of praise. He needs to experience inner peace to reach his spiritual self.

According to E.M. Standing, “Silence predisposes the soul for certain inner experiences.” If the child is given the opportunity to experience the peace of stillness, he will know that silence and keeping still do not come about easily. He has to work at it and learn to appreciate it. With much practice, children eventually learn how to treasure having some quiet time. They will grow up to be peaceful and secure adults who can co-exist with others without threats and ill-feelings.

The whole family must support one another in this quest for the peace of stillness. Parents should allow their children time to spend in their quiet corner.

Find somewhere in your home where it is safe. Create this place where your child can feel completely in control and at peace. You may want to allocate certain times of the day as TV-free or radio-free moments. Mobile phones and house phones should be switched off so that the whole family can be quiet together for a short moment.

When parents fight

When parents fight

By DR TEOH HSIEN-JIN

Mimmie was not a happy girl at school. She was easily distracted, never completed her homework, and was always fidgeting. Lately, she sometimes bursts into tears for no apparent reason. Worried, her teacher asked for her parents to come to school. The teacher soon learnt that Mimmie’s parents were on the verge of separating.

Research indicates that the most common reasons for separation include extramarital affairs, financial problems, child disciplining issues and sexual incompatibility.

Disagreements and conflicts soon erupt, followed by separation and divorce. But it doesn’t end there. There are custody issues and never-ending legal battles over money and property. Meanwhile, children are the silent victims of the conflict.

Some of these children are traumatised by their parents’ behaviours and become depressed, anxious, and have low self-esteem. Others react to the conflict in an aggressive manner by throwing tantrums, fighting with other children, and engaging in delinquent behaviour.

Marital conflict is a common family problem which no child should have to be exposed to. Yet it occurs because parents refuse to work together to create a happy, healthy family. Here are some suggestions to protect the child when conflicts arise.

Sort out your problems in private

The most traumatic forms of conflict occur when children witness the violence that their parents inflict on one another. Sort out disagreements behind closed doors. Get help from a marriage counsellor, if necessary.

Do not include children in the argument

When children are physically involved in the conflict, someone is bound to get hurt. Very often it is the children. Children are physically weaker than their parents and emotionally more fragile. You can protect them by telling them to keep away from the fight. It is best for parents to sort out their disagreements elsewhere, away from the house.

Do not use the children as shields

Some parents try to protect themselves by using their children as a shield between themselves and their spouses. This may put the child at risk of being hurt as the other party may become more angry. If you are afraid of your partner, then go to somewhere safer with your children.

Tell the child you are having problems, but are trying to sort them out

Children are quite aware when something is wrong. There is no use pretending that there is nothing going on between you and your spouse. Tell the children that you are having problems with the other parent, and that you are trying your best to sort things out.

Assure the child that you love him

When parents fight and argue, children are afraid that both their parents may get angry and leave them. Children can feel very vulnerable in these circumstances, and it is important to be calm and assure them that you still love them and will not abandon them.

Do not talk negatively about the other parent

It does not help to spread tales and talk negatively about the other parent. The child is being forced to choose between the two parents. Be mature and make no comments about the other parent’s behaviour.

Maintain a structured routine for the child

One of the things that creates emotional upheaval in the child’s life is a change in lifestyle and disciplining habits. Try your best to keep a structured daily time-table that includes meals, academic work and play time. The more structured the child’s day is, the more predictable it will be, thus calming the child down. Maintain discipline as the child needs to know what is acceptable behaviour. Where possible, try to spend some time with each child on a daily basis.

Listen

This poem is about not just hearing your friend, but actually taking the time to listen and understand them.

by Becky
Thank you for always being there,
To listen and understand me.
I appreciate all you did for me,
And all you still do.

Thank you for making me feel whole again,
For putting my pieces back together.
I appreciate you putting my life back together,
You saved my life.

You may not understand,
Why I do what I do.
But you never criticized,
You just helped my through.

I knew I could come to you when I was down,
'cause I knew you'd always be there
to pick me back up
and say everything will be ok.

The Dummy

This poem gives new meaning to the phrase "making friends," and exposes an important Truth about Life.

Everyone needs someone. Someone who will accept them, listen to them and let them know they are not alone. What of those who have no one?

They may wind up taking drastic measures.

by Michael Mack
In that forgotten part of town
Where wasted hopes and dreams abound,
A wrinkled man with life near end,
In hopes to have at least one friend,
Fashioned bits of wood and things
And made a dummy run by strings.

He sat alone for hours on end,
Conversing with his only friend
And found delight within the fact
That he controlled it's every act.
He told it how he never had
A chance, since all his luck was bad
Although he'd tried so to succeed -
The dummy nodded and agreed.

And how his journeys in romance
Had never given him a chance,
And wasn't it a crying shame
That he was always held to blame
When everyone knew, oh so well,
That life is but a living Hell,
Controlled by lust and power and greed?
The dummy nodded and agreed.

With patience that would rival saints,
That dummy sat through all complaints
And, with each little expert tug,
He'd droop his head or bow or shrug
And give some comfort to the man
Who held his lifelines in his hand
And helped to fill a lonely need
When he just nodded and agreed.

Senility increased with time
As did the old man's phantomime,
And feverish fingers pulled with glee
The dummy's dance of misery.
They never left each other's side
Until the day both stopped and died.
We found them lying, hand in hand,
The dummy - and his wooden friend.

The Anticipation

by Scott Marchand

The man sits at a small cafe
Breathing heavy, heart beating strong
Thinking of just what he should say
Wondering what exactly could go wrong

He loves this woman, he knows that well
Whether she feels the same for him,
or if these words will serve to repel,
is the reason he's gone on this limb

She'll walk in, and the heads will turn
She'll give him a kiss, and take her seat
His stomach is making an audible churn
Life without her is incomplete

He tells her, things won't be the same
Their lives have just been set aflame

Drive Thru

Im in da mood fer sum hillarious poems!

by Nancy Ness

I rose this morn with much to do -
Hopped in the car and off I flew.

No time for breakfast, that I knew -
Glad "Dunkin DoNuts" has Drive Thru.

In need of dollars, quite a few -
Went to the bank teller's Drive Thru.

Then filled all my prescriptions too -
At "Pharmacy's" brand new Drive Thru.

Some bills to mail in box of blue -
Off to the "Post Office" Drive Thru.

Picked up the laundry cleaned anew -
Just stopped at "Suds & Duds" Drive Thru.

With lunchtime near, my tummy's queue -
Got a "Big Mac" from the Drive Thru.

The car by then was low on fuel -
Full serve at "Shell", just Drive on Thru.

And when they fill the tank for you -
Your car's washed free - in their Drive Thru.

Library books were overdue -
The curbside slot is a Drive Thru.

Then videos must go back too -
"Blockbuster" has their own Drive Thru.

In need of milk and bread, I knew -
I stopped at "Dairymaid's" Drive Thru.

The family asked "Please, can we do -
The "Drive In" show when dinner's thru???"

Attract Women

Attracting women should be easy for you to do. Whether you are trying to bump into females or approach them, the power to attract women is very beneficial. This won?t just make your meetings go smoothly, but even dates will be at ease. But how can you attract women without making an effort? Simple, aside from making a conscious effort while meeting them you need to put in some work to attract women.

Expecting more than satisfactory is always a plus by the women. Now it?s not a must for every man to keep a body building body to attract women but exercising every once in a while and keeping fit is extremely attractive and is a plus when trying to attract women. Try not to go overboard though because not all females are attracted to the body building types.

Apart from being fit, looking fair also involves picking the just amicable of goods to wear. Try to fashion some effort to put entire a gear before the date. If you just appear for the date in whatever you tossed together that does not match it will give the woman an impression that you not really interested in her or the date and she will of course find the whole thing, whole meeting unattractive. The bottom line here is look in style to attract women.

When it comes to smelling good there are several things you can do to attract women. Firstly you can get a plunge and come out smelling brand new and clean. Apart from that, the proper use of cologne is also encouraged. Don?t go overboard and splash the whole body just enough to make her ask what cologne are you wearing? Experiment with different kinds of colognes. Some can be very attractive to women.

The ability to be a flirt is not something that all men are born with, but there are ways to improve. Just pick up some great tips on flirting and you will be attracting women in a very short time. Did you know that the best way to attract women is to flirt with as many of them as possible? Learn to flirt well and you will be on your way to attracting women.

Being a gentleman is also a good way of attracting women. This is because there is a huge superstition that chivalry is dead. You don?t have to go overboard but little things like holding the door open or offering to pull back her chair can be attractive to women.

There are many ways to attract women and some of it includes just being you. A complement on what she is wearing, how she looks, tell her that the perfume she is wearing smells great, though in a quick joke to lighten up the moment. Use some of what you just read and in no time you will be on your way to attracting women.

God is Hope

Here is a poem by a very talented young lady, Niki. This is a great poem that reveals a struggle within and the victory over it through God.

God is Hope

02-11-01

Day after day,
I hold myself.
Closer and tighter,
Crying to the sound of silence.
"I want to be better. I want to be better!"
Looking around and seeing not even a
Single soul surrounding me.
It tears my heart to go through this,
With your presence not known to me.
It is of an existence,
But not of feeling.
Night after night,
I?d fold my hands, close my eyes,
And pray that I?d die happy,
And knowing you were crying tears,
So that I wouldn't have to feel an inch of sadness!
Instead,
I walk away,
Not knowing?
And not realizing that I am at fault,
Not you!
Week after week,
I?d hold out my arms, stand before you,
And cry to the emptiness that tears me to shreds.
I would do anything to once again,
Feel your love wipe away my tears.
I long to feel your Holy Spirit live inside my heart.
But all I feel is my pain torturing my mind.
I might not be dead in the flesh,
But I feel dead to you.
I've done everything in my power to try and get an old me,
But you refreshed me back.
My mind stops in confusion.
What am I doing wrong?
I've submitted my body to you,
In hopes of a recovery!
Why do I still feel alone?
I might have been stumped,
But I haven't yet given up hope!
You'd never give up on me?
So I shall not dare,
Give up on you!
Then,
When I woke up,
I felt happier!
My heart smiled and I could feel your presence!
Through this whole situation,
It felt as if you were hiding.
Come to find out,
It was I!
I still don't know exactly what I went through,
Or how!
But I do know this much.
You were always there,
Feeling my pain.
And reaching out your hand,
For me to hold it tight?
Feeling your love and Holiness run through me!
I will never forget this,
Nor will I ever give up hope!
Because hope never gave up on me!

.niki.

Understanding the gifted child

By DR TEOH HSIEN-JIN

NATHANIEL is an eight-year-old boy who is constantly getting into trouble at school. He is fidgety, does not really pay attention, and constantly irritates his classmates.

On one occasion, he was caught sneaking into a Year 5 classroom. He does not have many friends amongst his classmates, and prefers to hang around with the older school children. His parents have tried to discipline him but have been unsuccessful. He was put in detention in the library, and seemed to enjoy it.

As a last resort, he was taken to a clinical psychologist to see if he was suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The diagnosis was negative; there was nothing wrong with him. Later, Nathaniel’s parents were even more shocked to find out that he was an extremely intelligent and gifted child. They were happy and excited yet confused about what to do with him.

Giftedness is a situation where a child’s development is much faster compared to other children their age. Their mental ability is far more developed; they are able to quickly absorb and assimilate information and are more imaginative than normal.

Some gifted children also develop faster, physically, leading to premature puberty. Given these problems, some gifted children may encounter information that their minds are not emotionally prepared for.

When it comes to deciding whether or not a child is gifted, there is often a lack of consensus amongst the teachers. This is because the child’s abilities may differ according to subjects and interests. Whilst the child’s intellectual abilities are generally ahead of his peers, his abilities vary from subject to subject.

So, an eight-year-old boy may be able to read Form 1 textbooks, yet the amount that he can understand may be more like that of a 10-year-old. In mathematics, the child may be able to do multiplication and division but he still counts with his fingers. His hobbies may include astronomy, classical music and chess yet he still wets his bed at night and sucks his thumb to sleep.

There are some indicators that a child may be gifted. These include needing less sleep, being able to concentrate on complex information, having the ability to remember many things, possessing a high activity level, moving quickly through the developmental stages, able to speak quite early, having a fascination with books, abstract reasoning and problem-solving skills and a vivid imagination.

Gifted children are usually formally classified as gifted after they have undergone systematic psychological testing of their mental, social and developmental abilities; usually this is carried out by a clinical, developmental or educational psychologist who works with children, and who understands the area of giftedness.

Children who score above the 1% level of the intellectual abilities range for their age group are more than likely to have some mental abilities that are more developed than those of their peers.

Whilst gifted children have the same basic needs as other children, they can be very different in their way of thinking, actions and behaviours. Gifted children view the world in a very detailed manner, absorbing every detail like a sponge, and analysing situations like a master chess player does. Often, they see situations in ways that others do not obviously see and this often frustrates those who interact with them.

Gifted children have two main needs. First, they need to accept themselves for what they are and feel comfortable about it. Secondly, they need to be given the chance to develop their special abilities.

At a very early age, the gifted child is keen to develop his potential, but if he is constantly held back by the education system, and is reprimanded for wanting to learn more, he gets demoralised. What was once a special ability becomes lost forever.

Emotionally, many gifted children are aware that they are different. They notice that they do not think, talk and act like their peers. Some find that their peers cannot keep up with them and, subsequently, they find their peers boring. Their peers, in turn, give up on them. As a result, they have difficulty maintaining friendships. When questioned, they often say that part of them is like their classmates, but unfortunately their classmates do not understand them at all.

Raising a gifted child is a challenging experience for his or her parents. However, several things can be done to make life more meaningful for the child. Below are some suggestions:


Avoid encouraging your child to “perform” in public. The more casually you accept unusual early accomplishments, the more your child will be able to see those accomplishments as normal. Keep in mind that your child is already different.

Respond to your child at the level in which he is communicating. Acknowledge that the child’s abilities are much more developed; allow him to develop his ideas at that level. Trying to repress his abilities will only be more upsetting for both of you.

Talk to the teachers in school about giving the child more challenging academic work. Gifted children learn faster and differently compared with others. Their minds can absorb lots of information quickly and deal with complex problems. Giving these children simple bits of information frustrates them. When forced to work with the methods and pace of a typical school, gifted children deteriorate.

Offer to help the teacher with designing challenging weekly homework assignments for your gifted child. When it comes to teaching your child, your knowledge, information and instincts are useful and important, and they should be recognised in designing a school program.

Communicate with the school in a non-threatening manner. Offer suggestions instead of trying to impose your ideas on the teachers. Remember many teachers may have never encountered a gifted child, much less know how to deal with one. The teacher may be more receptive if you offer to assist with your child’s education instead of trying to get the teacher to change the system for your child’s sake.

Where possible, try to place the child in a more advanced class. Placing a child with older children who share similar interests may be socially and intellectually beneficial and result in a more appropriate curriculum.

Try to help your child find a circle of friends with similar interests. In Nathaniel’s case, it might be more rewarding to enrol him in a chess club or drama class rather than keep him at home or take him to the playground to play on the swings with other eight-year-olds.
Looking after, and living with, a gifted child can be costly as well as physically, emotionally and intellectually demanding for the parents.

Help and guidance from understanding education and mental health professionals is often needed.

Unfortunately, society is not very good at accepting those who are different. To be considered a genius is often based on whether or not society wants to accept one’s special abilities, and very rarely based on whether one really has superior abilities or not. It is all about the way society deals with its insecurities.

FAMILY HEALTH with Dr. MUSA MOHD NORDIN and Dr. POH BEE KOON

MAY I know why salt should not be added to babies’ food, and at what age baby can be fed food with added salt? I’m asking because many of my friends with children feel it’s a must to include salt in their children’s daily menu. Does salt stunt babies’ growth, and are there other adverse effects?

Babies’ and young children’s kidneys are too immature to process excess salt from their food. If your child eats too much salt, in the long term, his kidneys might become irreparably damaged. Although salt is an important nutrient that is needed by the human body, it is found in sufficient quantities in breast milk, rice and most, if not all, of the foods commonly fed to babies.

So don’t add salt or artificial seasoning to baby’s food. The need to add salt to food depends on an individual’s personal preference. For children above the age of one, salt can be added to food, but only in very small quantities. Try to reduce the amount of salt in your children’s (and the rest of the family’s) food gradually, and after about a week you’ll find that most foods are tasty enough without added salt. If you find the food bland, use natural flavouring such as lemon juice, herbs and spices to vary the tastes of the foods you prepare.

Finally, remember never to add salt to your baby’s food as this will endanger his health.

I don’t have much trouble feeding my baby, except that he prefers to feed from my left breast. When I try to put him on my right breast, he cries as if he’s uncomfortable. As a result, my right breast is smaller than the left. Please help.

In most cases, babies can feed from both breasts. There are some babies who selectively feed from only one breast. In your case, this may be due to baby’s discomfort when he feeds from your right breast. When you first breastfed him, he may have experienced some pain due to vacuum-assisted birth or an injury to the right side of his head. Rest assured that the milk from one breast can be enough for his growth. Check that his weight increases normally, as seen in the growth chart. You should express the milk from your right breast to prevent decreased milk flow, and the expressed milk can be given to baby via cup-feeding.

A lactation expert can help you to ensure that baby is positioned comfortably on both sides and help you to achieve proper positioning and attachment. If you are still in doubt, please visit a paediatrician or lactation consultant for further explanation.

I have a daughter, aged 2 years and 10 months, and I feed her powdered milk. She often gets stomachaches, not necessarily followed by bowel movements. Her stool is dark-coloured and a little hard. Sometimes it is so hard that she cries when moving her bowels. She also takes up to an hour to go to the bathroom.

Does this mean the milk doesn’t agree with her? How else can I replace the milk, seeing that she doesn’t like regular flavoured powdered milk? Is it all right if I give her sweetened condensed milk, mixed with a chocolate malt drink? What is the correct measurement?

Based on what you’ve described, your child seems to be constipated. If this is indeed her problem, the cause may not be the type of milk your daughter drinks, but the fact that she isn’t eating enough fruits and vegetables. Feed her a variety of fruits and vegetables at meal times and for snacks. Make them appealing and easy to eat by cutting them into small, creatively-shaped pieces, then arranging them attractively.

From the age of one onwards, children can be given regular (full cream) cow’s milk. Milk doesn’t have to be taken on its own. You can use a blender to mix it with frozen fruits such as grapes, bananas and mangoes, to make delicious smoothies. Plain milk can also be mixed with chocolate malt drinks.

Sweetened condensed milk is not recommended for daily consumption because of its high sugar content. It’s best that your daughter isn’t allowed to develop a “sweet tooth” from eating foods with added sugar. She can get all the nutrients and energy she needs by eating natural foods with no added sugar.

I just delivered my son last November. I have never breastfed my child; I’ve only given him formula. My son is now past three months old. Should my child be fed the water from boiling rice porridge? And should I wake him up to feed in the middle of the night, even though he’s sleeping well and not crying?

Babies under six months old should be breastfed exclusively. If you can’t breastfeed for any reason, make sure your son is fed only infant formula that is appropriate for his age. The milk must be mixed with cool boiled water, and following the instructions on the package exactly. Before the child is six months old, avoid giving him anything else to drink, except if instructed by his doctor.

Your baby doesn’t need to be woken for night-time feeds as long as he feeds enough at other times, and his body weight and length are normal for his age.

I have a seven-month-old who has been on formula since two months, due to my lack of breast milk. I’ve begun giving him cereal on top of his powdered formula. Even then, his weight is rather low for his age, at 6.5kg. Please advise.

Babies double their birth weight at the age of five to six months. If your baby was 2.5kg when he was born, 6.5kg would be normal for his growth rate at seven months. Remember, every child grows at a different pace, and if your child seems small, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not healthy. Get the advice of a paediatrician about his growth rate.

From the age of six months, a baby should begin to be fed foods other than breast milk or formula. Begin with baby rice cereal and fruit or vegetable purées on their own.


Adding salt to your baby’s food will endanger his health as his kidneys are incapable of processing the excess salt.

At the age of seven months, a baby can be fed rice porridge cooked together with finely-chopped vegetables such as carrots or spinach. At eight months, shredded, cooked boneless fish may be added. Visit a nutritionist, dietician or paediatrician for more in-depth advice.

Keeping kids occupied

Specailly fer moms out ther!

by RUTH LIEW

WHEN can we go home?” “How long before we get to see the doctor?” or “I’m hungry. I want to leave now.” These are pleas by young children commonly heard at the bank, the clinic, during long car trips or just about any place that children cannot be themselves or move about.

Children are natural explorers. They like to move and look for things that they can manipulate and create. It is unnatural for them to sit still and wait for a long time. Once they can walk, run and talk, they want to experience everything that is out there. They need space to run, jump, climb, roll and engage in “mischief” of one kind or another.

Today, many of our children are confined indoors without much space to move about and explore. Busy parents are unable to take them out for extended, supervised play. The lack of time and space can cause many children to become irritable and restless. They may even start to become destructive and throw things around the house.

Children need time to wander. My nephew, who is almost four years old, is full of energy. He is interested in everything that moves. With a keen eye for finding insects, coupled with an inquisitive mind, he likes roaming the outdoors at all times of the day.

One morning, I spotted him in the garden doing one of his “experiments”. After dousing himself using the garden hose, he rolled down the small mound in the garden. He had rolled down the mound countless times before. This time, though, it was different. He was finding out the difference between dry and wet. This multi-sensory experience will help him feel more competent and secure.

Later, I shared this with his mother, saying: “He only gets to learn things this way at his age. Adults are always telling children that they should not do what they can do. It is no surprise that children get confused and retaliate against our wishes at times. As long as his experiment is deemed ‘safe’ for him to try out, forget about what the neighbours will say when they see your four-year-old playing in the garden.”

When you cannot give your children large spaces to play in, give them time. Involve your children in planning activities that you can do together. The younger they are, the more time they will need to decide what activity to do. If you are playing with your children, give them time to respond. You cannot expect your five-year-old to give you another word that rhymes with “cat” quickly if it is his first time playing this language game.

Children also need time to finish their activities. They find it hard to obey instantly when you tell them to stop an activity; they need to be given some prior notice. If they refuse to stop playing and pack up, you can say to them, “I know you are having great fun playing. My guests are coming shortly and I need to tidy up. I can help you set it up again after they leave and you can help me prepare for our guests.”

Children like to feel that they are needed. At times, you will run out of ideas. Instead of handing them a few toys to play with, you can get them to do things for you around the house. Try saying this to your child, “I am so glad you can help me around the house. I have tons of things to do, like folding the clothes and putting them away, wiping the dishes and sorting the bookshelves. You can choose one thing you can help me do.” Even a three-year-old can help you with stacking magazines on the coffee table.

Children like creating and making things. Young children in their early years do not usually start off with an idea. They make it up along the way, changing and adding to what they started off with.

If you want children to enjoy their creative work, try not to fuss too much about keeping neat and tidy. Creative activities will usually result in a mess. Three little girls and I decided to make Valentine hearts out of Chinese New Year greeting cards. The result? Many unusual-looking heart-shaped pieces and a whole pile of odds and ends on the floor.

Keep an open mind about what children like to do. Most parents regard their children’s fun as a waste of time. They feel that their children will learn more by doing worksheets or working on their readers.

Children learn by doing. The more hands-on experiences they get, the better they become in their thinking skills. Try to marvel at their creative work even when you have very little idea about what they have made or what they are doing.

Children enjoy doing things that get attention from adults. Even when you cannot spend much time with your child doing collage or role-playing, you can spend a few moments listening to what he has done or responding to his questions about certain things. All you have to say to your child is, “Tell me about your work.” Your child will enthusiastically express herself, sharing her thoughts and feelings with you.

Children like making things out of scraps. Collect assorted strings, rubber bands, paper scraps, cardboard tubes, textured paper, wood scraps and empty containers of various sizes. Sort them out and mix and match them to be kept in individual packages. Give one pack at a time to your child to work with. Keep a box of glue, staplers, paper clips, a pair of child-safe scissors and coloured markers handy in the house.

If you do a lot of travelling with your children in the car, you may want to keep a small box of these things in the car, too.

So, the next time you find yourself waiting for your number to be called in a busy office somewhere, take out your prepared fun-to-do pack for your child and say to him, “Let’s see what we can make today.”

Three Little Words

Article 3
Three Little Words by Amy Krause

I'm the proud mother of two redheaded boys, Tyler and Sam. I constantly joke with my husband that both boys earn their red hair! Our house is constant commotion. There are always extra boys around. We live by their activity schedules. There's never enough food in the house and dirty laundry piles grow to the size of a mountain.
Mornings are particularly stressful. More times than I can count I hear, "I'm not done yet" in the morning. None of us like getting up and dressed to leave by 7:00 a.m. weekday mornings. By the time we leave, I sometimes feel I've worked a full day.
One morning was no exception. Tyler and Sam were very difficult to manage. No one had slept the night before Sam was sick. I couldn't wait to escape to work. My husband volunteered to stay home to take Sam to the doctor. As Tyler and I rushed out, late as usual, Sam followed us to the doorway.
Waving good-bye he said, "I love you Mommy. Have a good day at school." His voice was so sweet I looked back. The sight of my little two-year-old, standing there in his pajamas waving that cute little chubby hand broke my heart. I ran back, gave him a big hug and told him Mommy loved him too.
I'm a special education director. I spend days meeting with parents, testing students with disabilities and deciding what's best for them educationally. This day I was at the State School for the Severely Handicapped. The meeting was about a lengthy list of skills that the parents of a handicapped child in our district needed the state school to address with their child.
As the meeting progressed, the teacher from the state school asked the parents, "If there was only one thing that we could teach your child this year, what is the most important thing you want your child to learn?"
The dad, "Alex", spoke up, "We hope many things can be addressed. But if we could only pick one thing, we want our child to learn to sign 'I love you'. We have had six years of struggles and setbacks and have never had our child tell us 'I love you'. Right now that's the most important thing to us."
I sat there in amazement. These parents had never heard those three simple words. Words I take for granted every day. I sat thinking back to that very morning, when Sam stood waving at me, telling me he loved me like I was the greatest person in the world.
Suddenly, my hectic mornings, sleepless nights and boisterous boys were a real blessing. The answer both shocked and humbled me on what I have to be thankful for with my two redheads. Alex, we'll strive to teach your child to sign so you can hear "I love you". In the meantime, you've taught me a lesson I'll treasure always.

The Power of Love

Article 2

The Power of Love by Dr. John-Roger

I don't know any situation that will not turn out better if there is loving. It takes a tremendous reserve of love to live on this planet. While we have often been led to believe that intellectual prowess, physical beauty or cleverness will do the trick, it's loving that provides the most fulfillment and contentment, and loving that has the most lasting effect on you and on others.

Most of us are unaccustomed to responding with loving, because we've been taught to try to control others and our environment. We've forgotten that the natural way to be is loving and caring. When we have a disagreement with someone, we think we have to change them to our way of thinking. If we can get the other person to agree with us, we feel comfortable, and then when we feel comfortable we think that is loving.

However, loving can mean disagreeing with someone and, at the same time, allowing them the space to express their point of view. There's really no right or wrong way; your way is the way that's going to work the best for you. Many years ago I had a job that was several miles from where I lived, and I had quite a bit of traffic to contend with. Every day I tried a new way to beat the traffic. I experimented with many side streets, and through the process of trial and error I finally found the best way to go to work. Granted, along the way, I ran into dead ends, or more congested streets, but I kept at it until I found the way that worked the best for me. Once I found it, it worked for me for a long time. It was worth the effort to find the best way.

Life is also like that. There are a lot of dead ends and ways that don't work. There may even be times when it looks as if someone is standing in your way. Let them be your guide and help you get out of your dilemma and find a better way.

Situations and experiences are given to people to allow them to grow, and things that are taken away from people will also allow them to grow. Loving will neutralize the emotions at either end of the scale.

Do lovingly and willingly whatever is demanded of you. Once you put yourself in a position of handling your responsibilities, these things can dissolve right in front of you.

Any situation will turn out better when there is loving. Where there is loving, there is cooperation, creativity, spontaneity, joy and a sense of fulfillment. We all have an intuitive sense of when we're in our loving and when we're not. Use your good senses to get yourself back to the loving. Do whatever it takes. Make it a priority in your life.

Each day provides a practice ground for strengthening and expanding your capacity to love. Challenge your capacity to love. Love, when not used, will grow as stagnant as the brackish water of the Dead Sea. Be courageous enough to be the first one to step forward with your loving.

You can't lose love. As you give it, it comes back. Give only of the heart, do not give of possessive emotions, because that is what causes the hurt.

Be patient and loving with yourself. Through loving yourself, you can learn to love others. Through being patient with yourself, you can learn to be patient with others. When you give, give in love. Take care of yourself first. Make sure that you're in good health, your bills are paid, your environment is comfortable and you have the things you need.

Your divine heritage is to experience your life as loving. Not anyone else's loving -your own. Love is not a lofty ideal to strive for; it's as natural as breathing in and breathing out. It's unconditional in its simplicity. Keep in mind that we are in training to be loving to the highest degree, and keep looking for ways to let your loving heart shine.

Every Day Matters!

Am posting sum stories i got frm da net not long ago....

Article 1
Every Day Matters! by Caroline Hofstede

It is like I keep repeating the same words over and over again. Why do I keep looking back and why is looking forward so frightening? I have been part of this world for over 41 years and thought I had not found my purpose in life. For months I have been focussing on my partner and realise that however wonderful my words and writing might be I continue looking back. It was a great time and I enjoyed every minute of it still thinking that I did not want to lose that feeling and hold on to it forever.
What are the reasons for dwelling on the past, could it be fear of the future? I continuously think of what I don't have that I become blind to what I do have. A relationship can open something inside us that is hidden away through the reflection of the partners love. Deep inside I am afraid and also too stupid to admit it, after all I am perfect and in control (so I thought!).
Someone said to me recently "You are very lucky in relationships". My heart started to cry at that moment so hard that it almost exploded. Lucky yes I am! False protection and pretending not to love someone so it won't hurt so much when it ends seemed like a good idea but ignoring the truth is not! What have I been looking for in life?
Growing up I had a person in my life that I adored and I wanted him to adore me just as much. He was my best friend and everything he did and said was wonderful. He was gentle, intelligent, creative, strong, weak and Mister Perfect. My purpose in life was showing him how wonderful he was and I did everything in my power to let him know. I had no success and sometimes became jealous of others around him and the attention he gave to them. I gave up and spent a lot of time on my own thinking how I could improve and become a better person so he and others would like me. I was scared, alone and could not talk about my fear and pain because I wanted people to believe I was perfect. I felt weak and started to hate myself.
I ran away and created my own world where I was special and people respected and loved the imperfect me. No one but Mister Perfect was allowed to enter this world.
I started my journey of life searching for Mister Perfect, someone I could love and would give me lots of approval and attention. I found someone who needed me to be strong and responsible and I wanted to make this work. His respect for me made me stronger but I could not feel perfect and I started to feel empty, incomplete and unhappy. He did not know because I didn't tell him that I closed my heart. He was not Mister Perfect for me.
Then I met someone that I loved and adored. He gave me so much back and I named him my Mister Perfect. This was what I was looking for, true love. He made me feel so special and told me every day a thousand times he loved me. He just accepted me for ME and I began to understand the real meaning of love. It is not about being perfect but about giving and receiving, sharing with love and respect and being you. I allowed him to enter my world and just when I started to open up and learned to receive and live, he disappeared. I trusted him, I let him into my heart and he just disappeared. I hated life and found myself standing in the dark feeling lost and alone again. "Have I been here before"? It scared me so much that I ran away. Running away not wanting to face the truth, running away from life, love and most of all myself.
Did I learn anything from this? Sharing and not only giving to get approval, love yourself first and share this with the other person. Why can I not love myself?
I am going back in time trying to understand and I remember my first Mister Perfect. Did he not approve of me? Maybe I forgot to tell him how important he was to me because I was so busy showing to him the perfect me. I was not the only one in his life and maybe I was not open to receive, after all I was not perfect enough. I wanted his approval so much and to show him the real me. Did I ever listen to him telling me that whatever I would choose or do in life would be all right? I could never tell him the truth, how much I needed his approval, how insecure, lonely and frightened I was. If only I could tell him now.
I close my eyes and see him in front of me. Now or never!
"Dad I love you and I think you are the most wonderful person".
"I am so sorry I could not be there for you when you needed me"
I need to talk and tell the most important person in my life that I do love him and admit that I am not perfect. I just want to tell him all my secrets, trust him, respect him, laugh with him, cry with him, trying to make him understand who I am, being there for him, let him into my heart, showing him my weakness and fear, sharing the rest of my life with him in the real world.
I do not want to be perfect and I am not looking for Mister Perfect. I am learning to love myself, approve and accept myself. I want to give love as much as I want to be able to receive it. I want to live without fear, laugh about my mistakes and enjoy life again.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and this person is giving me love, unconditionally. He whispers in my ear "Open your eyes and most of all your heart".
I wake up and find myself in the present. The clock is ticking and I do not want to lose more precious time because every day matters. I just want to live again and I have to start today! I am looking at my wall and see a note, in the centre is written: Be Happy! I have been blind and deaf and I need to tell him today!!!!

Im back folks!
