A Tribute To All Dads (poem)

"DAD"

Here's a poem written  as a tribute to all fathers of the world. The writer is unknown but I guess he's somebody who knows what it is to be a DAD.

It's So Nice To Have A Dad Around The House

Dads are special people
No home should be without
For every family will agree
They're "so NICE TO HAVE ABOUT"
They are a happy mixture
Of  a "SMALL BOY and a "MAN"
And they're very necessary
for every "FAMILY PLAN"
Sometimes they're most demanding
And stern, and firm, and tough
But underneath they're "soft as silk"
For this is just a "BLUFF"
But in any kind of trouble
Dad reaches out his hand
And you can always count on him
To help and understand
And while we do not praise Dad
As often as we should
WE love him and admire him
and while that's understood
It's only fair to emphasize
His importance and his worth
For if there were no loving DADS
This would be a "LOVELESS EARTH"

Hope all moms will agree to the message of the poem. I do 'cause I love the two
"DADS" in my life.

Three types Of Parent (Which One Are you?)

A dictator parent does not allow children to question,challenge or  disagree with his/her rules

What kind of parent are you? Here are the four types of parent and see where you fit in.

Autocratic type: The Dictator

This is when you have absolute control and powerful in dictating the lives of your children. You have domineering figure who rewards and punishes to impose your orders. You always tell your children what to do, how to do and when to do it. You never or give little room for questions, challenges or disagreements.Your children fear you rather than respect.

Permissive Type: The Doormat

You allow your children to have too much of their time and walk over you. You are totally against autocratic parenting but you're not doing anything to correct it. In your household, there's no respect for order and routine. You place few limits on your children's freedom and behave like a doormat, letting your children just to walk over you. You want to be firm but do not know what words or disciplining skills to use. You pretend to have control but do not know how to impose it.

Authoritative Type: The Active parent

You are on the middle ground between autocratic and doormat parenting. In your household, freedom is an ideal but so are the rights of others and the responsibilities that go with it. You are the family leader who encourages cooperation and stimulates learning. Your household has orders and routines and every one is treated as equally important members of the family.

If you have assessed yourself as one of these three types, there are always room for improvements and changes. The best part is you don't just admit it but do something to correct or magnify the type of parent you are. Bear in mind that what your children will become in the future is dependent on what type of parenting they received from you.

Ways to become best working Parents to your kids

In this time of financial instability, both parents, the mom and dad are forced to work outside the house to meet family's needs. It is sometimes hard to be working and at the same time being a parent. Tere are  times that you seem to neglet the other and feel guilty about it. If mom has to go out of the house and work, she can still be the Mom she should be to her kids as long as she knows the secret.

Share time. This means you share your time with them an not just spend. Sharing means doing things that both benefits you and the kids. Baking during Sunday or Saturday is great. Cleaning the house or  helping them out in their homeworks are just example of time both of you and the kids could share together.

Remember that "Little time is better tahn none". If you can't spend a half a day, an hour or two with the kids will be enough. Kids do understand and making them feel they're wanted and given attention even in small or limited time, they'll appreciate it. A lminutes to take a look at their finished art work is enough to make them know, you're trying as hard as you can to give them time.

Son't Make it Big. Sometimes as we feel guilty about giving our kids much time as we could, we tend  lessen the guilt by giving lavish rewards or gifts as if paying back what we have missed. Don't make your child feel you're paying back but do make them feel that you're trying hard to give them time and attention. A simple hug or  good night kiss is enough to make them feel you're there and not forgetting.

Parents are in control of the relationship in the family. You choose the kind of control you take in. Remember that all needs such as food, clothes, shelter are provided naturally but the love and attention is given out of choice. Kids will do even wanting with basic needs but they will not survuve without the love and attention of their parents. As the parents, you opt to gove them to your kids or else you are not entitle to be one.

Shopping for your kids this Holiday Season

Shopping for your kids this holiday season  is fun .

Have  you started shopping for your kids and family for the Holiday season? Here are some tips that could help you pick the best gifts and stuff  for your kids this  coming holiday.

When shopping for kids clothes, comfort and durability are two factors that must be considered. Kids are very active and moves around. Buy clothes that are made of durable materials and can stand the rugged activities of your kids. Buy clothes that fit and make them comfortable. Don't buy clothes just because you love the style of it but rather buy something that your kid is comfortable wearing it. If your kids have allergies, avoid clothing materials that can trigger the allergens. Always buy clothes that are free of synthetic materials that can cause allergies. Kids grow fast so it's better to shop for clothes one size bitter than to allow growing allowance for future wear.
Toys make kids eyes light up and bring smiles on their lips. Make sure that materials used are non-toxin and with warranty from health authorities. Always read the label and  manufacturers' warnings. Read age recommendations and stick by the rules. This is to avoid future incidents of choking for kids. Buy toys that are educational or something that will test their  ability such as blocks buildings, puzzles, flash cards, charts and coloring books. Always refrain from those cheap stuffs  mostly made of toxin materials.

Shopping  and buying something for our love ones this holiday season brings fun . What more for our darling and precocious kids.
