I read this as a background notes for parents at the end of a children's book entitled "Whn I'm Feeling Sad". This note was written by a Mebourne child psychologist. Thought it was very helpful notes. The greatest gift you can give your child is healthy self-esteem. Children who feel valuable, and who trust themselves have positive self-esteem. You can help your child feel valuable by spending quality time with him or her, playing games, reading books, or just listening. You can also help children feel valuable by helping them discover and become the person they want to be. Success follows people who genuinely like who they are. However, happiness is more than just being successful. Helping you child gain they self-trust needed to deal with failure, loss, shame, difficulty and defeat is as important-if not more so- than succeeding or being best. When children trust themselves to handle painful feelings- fear, anger and sadness- they gain an inner ...

This is a lovely poem about children and how we as adults can sometimes crush their creativity... No Way: The Hundred is there The child is made of one hundred. The child has a hundred languages a hundred hands a hundred thoughts a hundred ways of thinking of playing, of speaking. A hundred always a hundred ways of listening of marveling of loving a hundred joys for singing and understanding a hundred worlds to discover a hundred worlds to invent a hundred worlds to dream. The child has ahundred languages (and a hundred hundred hundred more) but they steal ninety-nine. The school and the culture separate the head from the body They tell the child: to think without hands to do without head to listen and not to speak to understand without joy to love and to marvel only at Easter and Christmas. They tell the child: to discover the ...

This is really simple and great tip that i found in a craft book for children. This cornflour paste is really useful and its cheap and easy to make. Mix about 2 tablespoons of cornflour with enough cold water to form a paste in a saucepan. Add in 1 cup of water and cook on the stove until it reaches custard consistency. Store in the refrigerator. Add to ordinary paint for fingerpainting; add in food colouring and use as an economical extender for apint; use as a paper glue or use in papier mache.

This is a lovely story about a little bear and his parents sharing and having fun through his daily activities. Its a simple book which your child can relate to as they are able to see themselves doing lots of these activities like bathing, going for a picnic etc. The pictures in the book are lovely and the book is made up of short sentences which rhymes. This makes the book really enjoyable to read. As an extension to the story, you may also like to point out to your children the different things that they see in the pictures, like the butterflies, and the food that is in the picnic basket. As an adult, i'm personally drawn to the book as well as it reminds me that love and joy can be found in the simple daily things, like tapping your toes, playing in a puddle of water or watching the rainbow after it rains. Sometimes, we may be too caught up in trying to buy our happiness through material wealth that we forget that true happiness and joy cannot be bought ...
