Being a kid

Kids are copy cats. It is funny to watch my little daughter imitating her parents. We encourage her to do as much as she can. The first step for her is, watching us and tries to do exactly what we do. I love to watch her when she tries to make me to sleep, tell me a story, wear like me, and even be mad to me. It is the way that she uses to learn. The important thing is being a good model for our kids; they more likely to watch us than listen to us.

The influence of Toys on Children

It is known that how toys influence children and shape their personality and characters. Some researchers believe that nature of children affect their behavior and for some nurture is more important. They also agree with the idea that the type of toys children play with, influence their conversation. For example toys like grocery toys make, especially girls, talk more and for boys it is a little different because they like play with toys which they can take part and put them back together. One of researchers at the University of California believes that both girls and boys need task –oriented toys to improve their relationships and being social. It is parent’s responsibilities that choose right toys to help their children to develop their conversation. The variety of toys that parents buy for children is very important, because these toys make children to act differently in different situations.
Parents know how Kids like various toys, for instance, when they go shopping with their kids, in toy stores children are very excited and they want to play with all toys. We can help them and buy which they are more interested on it and match with their age. The one I bought for my son was Lego and it was very helpful because he played in different ways, so I did not buy a lot of toys. Legos are bought in different shapes, parts, and sizes. It depends on what your kids likes more. My son interested on plane and I bought one that have plane parts, airport and also pilot and passengers. He put the parts together and built an airport and with pilot and passengers he made a lot of stories and also helped him to improve his conversation. Because of influence of toys on kids, it is our responsibility to choose right one.

I did not have any idea about how it helps to lose weight, but when I search about pineapple I think may be it works. After tring crazy diets, it looks good idea. Pineapple contains an enzyme which called bromelain and it truns to anti-inflammatory ingrident and help the mucles and make skin more elastic.Also it helps with digestion in the intestine tract and it was believed that it burns up fat.As pineapple is available in every season ,it is easy to try this diet, because it is natural and include vit.C, B1 and magnesium. I will try it.
