Tips Aman Belanja Di Mall Bawa Anak

Mall ada dimana-mana dan berlomba-lomba lebih megah dan lebih lengkap. Sebagai orang tua tentu Mall adalah tempat yang sangat sering Anda kunjungi. Baik belanja atau sekedar mau nonton film terbaru TIGA DIMENSI.

Tetapi perhatikanlah hal satu ini yang mungkin jarang terpikirkan oleh Anda bahwa ternyata Lift yang biasa Anda lalui di Mall mengundang bahaya bagi anak Anda.




Sebagaimana yang dimuat oleh soloaja.com, Hampir 2 ribu anak terluka karena lift setiap tahun, umumnya ketika tangan atau kaki mereka terjepit di pintu.

“Kebanyakan pintu lift akan terbuka jika sensor mendeteksi sesuatu yang menghalangi, tapi tangan atau jari anak bisa tidak dikenali karena terlalu kecil,” kata Dr. Sheehan.

Strategi keamanan:

* Jangan coba menghentikan pintu lift yang akan menutup dengan tangan, kaki, tas, atau stroller. Meski kebanyakan lift dilengkapi fitur pengaman dan dijaga dengan baik, mata fotoelektrik di dalam lift bisa saja tidak berfungsi menyebabkan pintu tetap menutup walau sesuatu menghalanginya.

* Waspadai celah. Pastikan lift sejajar dengan lantai sebelum Anda keluar. Anak Anda bisa tergelincir atau kakinya tersangkut di celah.

* Jika memungkinkan, berdirilah di belakang. Jangan pernah membiarkan anak menyentuh atau bersandar pada pintu lift karena di sinilah paling sering terjadi kecelakaan.

Traveling With Kids: Travel Must-Haves

Family trips are not just about fun 100 percent of the time, especially when you are traveling with kids. You have to prepare for possible emergencies, dull moments, messes, and a bunch of other stuff. This is why it is important to know what to bring during travels with kids. Here are the travel must-haves that you need to make room for.

Daytime gear – put together a kind of day pack where you can put your money, lip balm, water bottle, snacks, sun block, hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, sweater and a bunch of other things you might need during the day. This a convenient way to have all the things you need with you while leaving your hands free. Prepare one for each member of the family and spread your stuff around so no one has to carry everything by him/herself.

Toiletries
Pack each family member’s shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste and other toiletries in water-proof pouches. Choose pouches that are big enough to contain these items yet small enough to pack easily. Tip: At present there are regulations for carry-on luggage: bottles must be 3 oz. or less in a transparent pouch.

Emergency Kit
A lot of things can happen during a trip so it is best to be prepared. Put together an emergency kit that contains a mini-sewing kit, a decent all-purpose foldable tool (e.g. Swiss army knife), a conversion plug for electrical devices you’re bringing with you (110/220) and small flashlights. As for medications, take everything in clearly marked original containers to avoid trouble at customs. Include antibiotics, aspirin, anti-itch, anti-fungal, band aids, thermometer, and a pair of tweezers and put these in a small pouch.

Instant cleaners
You will be spending a lot of time on road, and at some point your family will have to eat. Pack hand sanitizers so each member of the family, especially kids, can clean their hands before touching food. Food and drinks can easily spill in the car so it is important to bring antibacterial wipes for quick cleanups.

Pass times
Kids get bored so easily so it is wise to bring stuff that they can use to pass time. These include toys such as playing cards, books, Legos; gadgets like iPods and Mp3 players; or anything that your kids like that you can stow conveniently in your carry-on. You can also buy new, small and inexpensive toys that you can surprise your kids with. Being stuck in a seat can get really frustrating for kids, but with a new toy as a distraction, it would be a lot more bearable. You don’t have to buy something expensive. After all, they will only be used to entertain your kids.

Packing for infants and toddlers
When packing for infants and toddlers, think that you are going to a childless friend’s house for a long weekend – and then plan your diaper bag accordingly. Sure you can buy most, if not all the things you’ll need at local pharmacies or groceries, but you wouldn’t want to take a huge chunk of your vacation time doing just that.(Deborah Williams-my.articlepros.com)

How to Clean Your Baby’s Toys

One way to keep your baby safe and healthy is to make sure that all of his things are clean. This includes his crib, high chair, baby carriage, stroller, and of course, his toys. Cleaning your baby’s toys may seem like an arduous task since there are usually a lot of them; but it’s a task worth doing. Make sure that you clean your baby’s toys at least once a month and always, after he/she has been sick.

Here’s how to keep your baby’s toys as clean and germ-free as possible:

First, make sure there are 2 to 3 different sets of toys so you can alternate cleaning and sanitizing. Babies usually have a lot of toys to choose from so alternately taking them in and out to be cleaned and sanitized is not a problem.

Put the toys that you want to clean warm soapy water and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Use an effective cleanser that is safe for your baby. There are some cleaners out there that do not contain harsh chemicals but use plant based cleaning agents instead.

After soaking the toys, scrub them to remove dirt and grime. Germs can stick to the surface so it is necessary to scrub them. Make sure to scrub each toy thoroughly. After cleaning the toys, rinse them thoroughly to get rid of all soap residue.

Some would recommend sanitizing babies’ toys in a solution of ¼ cup of household bleach to a gallon of water since diluted bleach is considered safe for cleaning children’s toys because chlorine evaporates quickly. However, research has shown that cleaning with bleach and other chemicals releas poisons in the air we breathe at home. What’s more, harmful toxins may be ingested by your child (since kids put things in their mouths) however small the amount. Long term exposure could result in serious illnesses such as lung disease and tooth corrosion.

As thus, it is best to use baby-safe all purpose wipes that contain natural cleaning agents and no harmful chemicals.

You might also want to consider using hydrogen peroxide. It is a non-toxic, oxygenated bleach that is one of the most environmentally safe chemicals on the market today. It works by releasing oxygen to do the bleaching process and then converts them to water once the process is complete. It is also biodegradable. Use it to disinfect baby’s stuff especially after he/she has had a cold or the flu.

You can also disinfect toys by wiping them with a mixture of baking soda and warm water or white vinegar and warm water. Both baking soda and white vinegar are natural, mild disinfectants that are safe for your baby as well as environment friendly.

To clean stuffed toys that cannot be machine washed, put them in a plastic bag and sprinkle them with baking soda. Shake up the bag and let stand for about 15 minutes. Vacuum off the baking soda.

In the past, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) was related to particularly soft and fluffy baby beddings. This happened when the little one's bed mattress is way too fluffy and soft that his / her nasal area and mouth area gets covered and also the air he exhales would become the air he breathes. This is certainly hazardous for him because he would inhale co2 instead of oxygen and the consequences might lead to sleepiness, coma or even death.

There are plenty of styles in selecting the baby's bed. Knowing that, it employs that the baby bedding should be a great optimal match with the selected equipment. Various major choices are usually: a bassinet, a baby's crib or perhaps a cradle. What distinguishes one from the other sorts of bedding? A bassinet is usually an oblong-shaped holder which functions as a bed for a baby. However many times, rounded bassinets are also obtainable. A baby's crib is usually a bed that is flanked by using high side bars for an infant or small baby's safeness. Baby cribs are usually more cost-effective because the baby can make use of it from infancy to a couple of years. The third option i.e. cradle is a little low bed which the baby uses and has rockers on its stand. In all of these, the material which makes the bedding should certainly notify and alert the mom about how much safety measures are essential.

Bassinets are generally lacey and are fully composed of trimmings. The baby bedding should fit the bassinet in order that the baby's space is greater than the required for her or him to be able to roll from side to side. The baby's crib is normally rectangular, therefore, bedding can be fitted to the sizing of the crib. The baby bedding generally is a set of coverlet as well as skinny cushions. Hotdog cushions can also be placed. Nevertheless, the pillows and cushions must not be more than 2-3 else the baby can rise on them and may fall. The cradles are available in a variety of designs and sizing. A number of moms favor cradles with the intention that if in a situation the baby is cranky, he/she can be easily rocked to be calmed down. The baby bedding for a cradle must stick to the form of it. Not much can go within it because it is employed primarily to rock the newborn to sleep. Nevertheless, one needn't to possess all the three to maintain the baby safe, warm and secure. This would completely depend on the parent's preference. The most preferred is definitely the baby's crib because it can be utilized for a long period.

Once we've dealt with the basic equipment, how can we decorate and furnish it by using baby crib bedding? We've formerly discussed the fact that the baby bedding should certainly fit proper sleeping equipment to prevent accidents and various other untoward mishaps. The best option of the material to implement is pure cotton because it functions as an absorbent and is pretty mild n cool to the baby's skin. Various designs should be used in order to activate the baby's pattern and color recognition. Consequently, the baby bedding is really a critical element in keeping a baby joyful and healthy.

How to Care for Your Baby’s Hair

Caring for your baby’s hair is an important part of her regular grooming. However, it can sometimes be an arduous task since a lot of babies do not like having their hair washed, brushed and cut. Washing hair may be the most difficult of all since a baby tends to squirm, cry and move her head about when her head is washed.

Fortunately there’s a way for you to make the process a lot easier.

Washing your baby’s hair

For younger babies, ask your doctor about the right bath products to use. You may also ask him or birthing center personnel to show you how to properly wash the hair.
Use a wet washcloth with warm water to gently rub your baby.
For older babies, you can use a mild, tear-free shampoo. But first, untangle the hair using a wide tooth comb to prevent further tangling her hair during bath time.
If you are bathing in a big tub, cradle your baby’s head in one hand. Gently lather up with one hand while supporting her firmly with the other. If you are using a reclined baby tub, simply wet the hair and lather it up with tiny amount of shampoo. Rinse thoroughly until no lather appears when you rub your baby’s hair. Avoid drying your baby’s scalp by shampooing on two to three times a week.

Combing your baby’s hair
For younger babies use a soft bristled brush since they generally do not have much hair yet.
For older babies, you can use either a soft bristled brush or a small toothed comb, depending on the amount of hair your baby has. If she has fine, wispy hair, a brush will make her hair shiny. If she has long, thick hair, use the comb to remove tangles.
Gently comb from roots to ends.
If your baby has thick, curly or long hair, divide it into sections. Start with the part closest to the neck first then work your way in sections towards the top of your baby’s head.

Trimming your baby’s hair
When your baby is old enough to have her hair trimmed, choose a time when she is in her best mood.
Sit your baby on a high chair or booster seat. If you do not have a seat, ask your partner, relative or friend to hold your baby in his or her lap.
Drape a cape or towel over your baby’s shoulders.
Give her a toy or play movie to distract her during the process.
Gently wet your baby’s hair.
To trim her bangs, take section of hair between two fingers and run them down to the point where you would like to cut it. Your fingers are your guide in creating a straight cut across.
The same step goes for cutting hair at the back and sides.
Talk to your baby to gently encourage her during the hair cut.

Lastly, avoid pulling the hair into tight ponytails or braids as this can cause bald spots. Also never, use a hair dryer as this can damage your baby’s hair.

How to Make Personalized Baby Gift Baskets

A baby is one of the best gifts parents can receive. An expectant couple, especially the mother, celebrates baby showers along with their closest friends and families. When babies are born, many new parents also celebrate welcome parties for their child. On these occasions, many guests bring the usual presents of bottles, clothes, and toys for the baby.

To make your gift unique and more memorable, why not give the parents and the baby a personalized gift basket? Making a personalized gift basket is easy and affordable. All you need to prepare are wicker baskets, assorted baby products, various items for the parents, and decorative items such as ribbons.

First, gather as much information as you can about the baby. You can ask the parents or the couple’s close friends. Find out about the baby’s gender, his or her name, and his or her exact birth date. You can also do a little research on the meaning of the baby’s name. The information can come in handy when you create your baby gift basket.

Start making your personalized gift by choosing the wicker baskets. Choose a basket that can accommodate all the items you want to give the parents and the baby. You don’t want to have to overcrowd a wicker basket that’s too small, and you don’t want to use a basket that’s too big either.

After choosing the baskets, buy the baby items from a Calgary shop specializing in baby products. Fill your baby gift baskets with useful gifts. Smaller items like baby soap, shampoo, ointment, and extra bottle nipples are more ideal than diapers and blankets. Avoid traditional gifts; instead, think of unique yet useful products for the baby.

Don’t forget to pack your Calgary gift baskets with items for the parents, too. These items may include bags of herbal tea, parenting magazines, or scrapbooks. Gift certificates for products and services for the baby are also ideal for new parents. You can also attach a creative congratulatory card to the basket.

Once all items are properly packed, start decorating the gift basket. You can opt to tie colorful ribbons to the basket’s handle, or wrap the base of the basket in attractive wrapping paper. Gift baskets are best presented along with a bouquet of flowers from the best florists Calgary is home to.(my.articlepros.com-Carter Lenhart)

Slice And Bake Cookie Set Encourages Your Children to Learn While They Play

Melissa & Doug's Wooden Slice and Bake Cookie Set helps children aged three and up learn number concepts, practice fine motor skills, and more, by pretending to bake, decorate and serve cookies.

The cookies are held together with Velcro, so they stay together when slid out of the tube.

These pieces are brightly painted to represent different kinds of decoration - sprinkles, icing and candy pieces, so your child can get creative in producing different combination of toppings for the cookies.

Once the decorating is finished, your child will proudly remove the cookies from the tray, using the supplied toy wooden spatula, and serve them to friends and family.

Slice and Bake Cookie Set comes supplied with: toy cookie dough tube, 12 wood cookies, 12 decorative toppings, wooden spatula, wooden cookie tray, toy wooden knife and oven mitt.

Children have immense fun playing with this toy on their own, but it's also great for parent-child interaction.

Adults can play counting and matching games, place custom cookie orders, and any number of other activities to engage the child's imagination. (website-articles.net-Dixon George)

This process can be slow and intimidating; however by arming yourself with the best child custody strategies you improve your chances of a positive outcome. (website-articles.net-Alan Katz)

Advice For Parents With Gifted Children

Most couples will always think their offspring are unique or blessed. You might say, this is legitimate to some extent, as every child is indeed unique and extraordinary. There are numerous boys and girls however, which present capabilities seemingly way beyond what other youngsters their age are equipped for. In many instances, these kinds of children need exceptional guidance. Let us have a look at what constitutes sound advice for parents with gifted children.


Ascertaining Competence

Step one to assisting gifted boys and girls, is realizing their giftedness. A necessity, because children that enjoy outstanding skill-sets unrecognized, might be left enduring psychosocial handicaps. Some might have no desire for learning, due to the fact they're put in grades that are not adequate to their talents. Some may also be put off by children of a comparative age, as there may be no commonalities.

Parents are able to ascertain any gifts in their children, by way of normal observation. Their children might exhibit enthusiasm and great abilities for particular activities and pastimes. Some moms and dads might even discover their children’s skill-sets, from the local school, or by means of an assessment through educators and educational consultants in general.


Stimulate Social Interaction

Gifted children sometimes feel strange compared to others their own age. In order to circumvent any promotion of brooding and interpersonal remoteness, stimulating social interaction is essential. This can be achieved by setting up opportunities for your child to create companions, by signing up for special outings or meetings, setting up simple parties and enrolling in preschool.


Explore Connected Communities

One method to assist your child to equally, interact socially and expand his or her talents, is to locate appropriate social groups, or communities for your child to enrol with. All of these types of associations afford interpersonal means for your child to talk about and examine their specific attraction, via those with the same enthusiasms. This could very well become an achievement in social learning, given that it means that your child will feel that he or she really fits in somewhere.


Keep the Lines of Communication Open

Gifted children are no different from all the other boys and girls, in relation to the necessity of approval and understanding. It is vital that you take the time to talk over with your child, his or her interests, hobbies and anything else that concerns them. A close bond with parents is also another step towards ascertaining and fixing any problems, worries, or circumstances, that can torment talented children. Setting aside quality discussion time for children, is the best of any parenting advice.


Supplying Diverse Pursuits

A child who displays outstanding aptitude and attraction to a particular talent, skill or pursuit, might need professional guidance establishing their abilities. For this reason, signing up your child in courses pertaining to his or her natural ability, is something to consider. Emphasizing what a child excels at can be the cornerstone to a fulfilling occupation or line of work.

It is a good practice to provide a broad contact with other pastimes, as your child may miss out on other interesting pastimes, from centering exclusively on his or her skill-set or gift. Include your child in the deciding on other diverse pursuits, that she or he may choose to become interested in.

These has just been some simple advice for parents with gifted children. Remember, kids typically are all individuals, no two are the same. As the needs of your gifted boy or girl are going to be different to the needs of other children, the most pertinent advice is to be observant and gradually try out different things, monitoring the results. No one can appreciate your child better than yourself.(website-articles.net-datenice)

What To Look Out For When You Sense You Could Be The Parent Of A Troubled Teen

The term troubled teen is thrown around a lot these days, though the true definitions are not often discussed. Any mother of a teenager will tell you that they are a special brood of people. Teens tend to act very erratically due to fluctuating hormones and mood swings. So for most parents it can be difficult to determine when a kid crosses the line from being an angst-ridden adolescent to a troubled teen. Luckily, there are a few indicators we can look for to know when teen help is required.

In a lot of cases, depression is the number one culprit for a teenager's disruptive behavior, so the more you know about detecting depression the better. Despite the fact that teens are moody and often unpredictable, when they start to fall into certain behavior patterns more help is usually needed. These behaviors can sometimes just be a portion of a quick phase, but if it goes on for more than a couple of weeks then it is time to call in a professional.

If you notice your child becoming harder to deal with as far as using harsh words or violence then you should definitely be looking for any other troublesome signs that follow. If your teenager ditches their current social group and becomes a loner or attaches themselves to a different, often less favorable group then they are likely going through some hard times. When these things take place you need to question your child if possible and try to assess the situation. A teen will often ignore important things like education and friends and become very apathetic. Though it is common for youngsters to rebel, when they do so consistently it is time to seek assistance.

Teens who are suffering from depression, anxiety, and even ADHD that is left untreated often turn to forms of self medication. When your child begins to abuse these types of substances then it is definitely time to get them the help they need as quickly as possible. Though many parents claim that they were oblivious to their teen's drug problems there are almost always warning signs. Uncharacteristic sleeping patterns are some of the more obvious signs along with becoming socially withdrawn and spending a lot of time alone in their room or away from home. Drugs don't have to be of the illegal type to pose a problem, either. The drugs that most teens first experiment with come from inside their own home. It can be something as simple as beer or cough syrup, but if they can take enough of it to alter their state of mind they are abusing it.

Any adult who suspects their youngster might be a troubled teen is probably right. Most parents who start to seek help for their young one do so based solely on parental intuition. Teenagers rebel and will often reject your help at first, but later on in life they will thank you.(articlecity.com-Kathy Stearns)

Thomas the Tank Toy Trains - Bringing Joy to Children Everywhere!

In today's electronic driven society, it seems that the once popular toy train has become yet a thing of the past. Today’s children want iPods, video games, and even cell phones before they're even 10 years old. There is however a little toy train you may have heard about that continues to bring smiles and happiness to children all over the world, even in a time where toy trains seem to have been long forgotten.

Thomas the Tank Engine!

Thomas the Tank Engine was introduced in 1946 in the second book of a series called “Thomas the Tank Engine.” Thomas is a tank engine, painted blue with red lining, and displays the number one. All of the trains portrayed in The Railway Series were based on prototypical engines; Thomas has origins in the E2 Class designed by Lawson Billinton in 1913.

Thomas and Friends started as a children's show in 1984 and has since grown into a huge lucrative business of toys and merchandise for children. The shows main focus is on teaching young children to count, spell, and even learn some basic history lessons they wouldn't learn until entering school. Since Thomas is a train, children have a better ability to exercise their imaginations and gain appreciation for simpler activities that many adults once knew as children.

The little toy trains in Thomas were designed with young children in mind as a unique way of grabbing their attention. Today the wooden toy trains found in Thomas the Tank Engine resemble the same basic wooden trains played with by adults when they were young. The cars can be seen painted eye-catching shades of red, blue, green, and yellow, and often come with cute little wooden blocks to carry as "freight".

Thomas the Tank Engine makes a wide variety of other accessories to go along with the toy trains. Some of their more Deluxe Stations are very popular among children as they engage small minds with realistic sounds of whistles and movement helping children’s imaginations to run free.

The Deluxe Stations also come with several friends children love to play with such as Max and Monty. These two twin brother dump trucks teach children the importance of sharing. The brothers think they’re experts in construction and have a tendency of bossing around the smaller machines, but in the end they always learn to share their space.

My children have been fans of Thomas the Tank Engine. He is just one of the many great toys that will last a lifetime. Toys should be fun and educational experience for our youngsters. Children many times don’t realize it, but they learn a number of things-- colors, shapes, small motor skills, communication, real-life experiences, etc. while in play.

Thomas has been bringing joy to children for many generations. Maybe it’s the simple layout of the show and story books that captivate small minds or maybe it’s the simple character faces easily recognizable for small children. Nevertheless I think Thomas the Tank Engine may continue to win the hearts of many more generations of children to come!(articlecity.com-Ashley Gagne)
