Importance of God

Today is a Sunday.Every working person longs for Sundays to get a break from their Routine work.But we Moms never get rest even on SUndays, as our kids have them as Holidays . One releif is that we can get up late as we don't need to send our kids to school. Sundays are family days. Most of us go out out to take a break with our children. A day to think over the past week and prepare for the coming week.

I feel Sunday's also a day of prayer ( for Christians Mostly). Our children need to know the Importance of God and that God is able to do miracles and is much much powerful than man. They need to know that they can depend on God incase theres' nobody around. They need to know that God watches over them all the time and that they r never alone.I like this Verse from the Bible very much. I just go thru this verse when i feel my child is getting out of control.

It is from Isaiah 54:13,14

All your Children shall be taught by the Lord,And great shall be the peace of your children.

ScrapBook

ScrapBook or Sticker Books can be fun for Kids. You can always buy even a blank notebook and ur child can fill them with Stickers that u give them as a reward, for being good or whenever u feel like pleasing them. They can even cut out their favourite pictures or cartoons from magazines and fill it with them. Its fun to watch kids do such Creative activities. You will also get to learn ur child's interests and tastes.

When I was small I used to keep a file and fill it with the latest News articles that wud interest me. I still am interested in Reading News papers and Current Events.

Children not only become more Creative but they will learn to take care of their stuff and improve their observation power .

No Junk Food

Like many moms, I too worry bout my kids getting addicted to Junk Food. Kids are so fond of Lays,Burgers,Pizza,Bicuits, Fries etc. HAving them once in a while isn't harmful, but having them regularly over a period of time, make them addicted to such stuff. It is the responsibilty of us parents, to keep our these habits from invading our kids. Initially I would pack my kids snacks with all these ready-to-eat food but these days we try our best to avoid such snacks, as we found that our kids keep asking for such snacks all the time. With many lifestyle diseases prevalent, its better that we teach our kids from childhood the importance of including fruits and vegetables into our daily diet to remain healthy. Thankfully my kids' school has a snack chart and they have strictly DISallowed Junk Food from class 1 onwards, during snak time and lunch time. Their weekly chart is as follows:

Monday-fruits

Tuesday-sprouts

wednesday-vegetables(grated carrot)

Thursday -dry fruits

Friday-Fruit salad

This method help parents too .

One Snack which my kids have begun to like is this simple Easy-to- make Veg Sandwich.

It needs the following:

2 slices of Brown Bread

Butter to be spread on one side

Very thins slices of cucumber and tomato just enuff to fill in the 2 slices

A little salt and a little pepper.
