Special Toys for Blind Children
Just like sighted children, blind children learn much about their world through the use of toys. By selecting toys with a child’s visual impairment in mind, parents can ensure that the special toy they give the child is more than just a temporary amusement. It will also be an educational and developmentally enriching tool.
Activities That Teach Kids
Almost any activity you do with your child can be an opportunity for him to learn something. Taking your child shopping can help him learn to add amounts or to select healthy food. Cooking with your child can teach him basic chemistry as well as how to be safe when handling sharp or hot items. Look for teaching moments in everyday activities you do with your children as well as planning special activities.
How to Plan Healthy Meals on a Budget
Eating healthy is increasingly important for families, as they combat diseases such as childhood obesity, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Paired with proper exercise and sufficient sleep, eating healthy meals can keep families energized and out of the doctor’s office. By eliminating junk food such as sugary sodas, chips and cookies, families can begin to adopt healthy eating habits. Planning healthy meals doesn’t have to break a family’s bank; in fact, with planning and preparation, families can plan healthy meals on a budget.
How to Manage Ringworm Outbreak
It’s the last thing you expect to see: Your child has an itchy red circle on her skin, and the school nurse says it is ringworm. You’ll be relieved to learn that ringworm is not caused by worms at all–it’s an infection caused by a fungus. Properly named tinea, it is called ringworm when it appears on the skin or scalp, jock itch in the pubic area and athlete’s foot on the feet. Ringworm is easily treated with over-the-counter topical products and is typically gone within two weeks of beginning treatment. The tricky part is preventing recurrence or spread of the outbreak to other family members. Standard procedures can be used to combat an outbreak of ringworm.
Fun Games for School Kids
Play games with school-aged kids to help them release energy after a long day of sitting and studying. Games are also a great way to keep the kids occupied during a long bus ride to a field trip or at a school party. You can play more elaborate games with school-aged children than you can with younger ones. Some games may even keep you entertained.
