Yes, it’s real. The month before the summer holidays is actually quite stressful for parents, kids and teachers alike. Just getting through that one month is like covering a whole year of work!

Children and thank you notes
Thank you notes have always been a way for kids to communicate even when they are shy or don’t know how to express themselves. Thank you notes are not just words that say thank you, but are an expression of gratitude – a feeling that can easily be ignored.
What children expect from us
It’s not easy to take a step back from ‘parenting’ and think about what a child expects from you. Now, am not talking about how your son always wants to play video games or hang out online and you mostly have a ‘have you finished your HW? (or something else)’ up your sleeve. What does he really expect from you? Are you living up to his expectations? Should you live up to his expectations? Well, it’s a thin line.
Siblings and arguments
Little kids have loads of disagreements. Parents with more than one child, usually deal with at least 3 squabbles each day! It can be a case of both kids wanting the same train or a fight about who gets to play with it first. And there’s lots of yelling, kicking, crying, screaming, tantrums, and more, forcing you to step in.
Self-Esteem in Children
Building healthy self-esteem and confidence in your kids is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. A child that can confidently shake the hand of a new adult acquaintance, express a well-thought idea or opinion in a respectful way are empowering moments for a child, and lessons from which many adults could benefit!
Kids and the Flu season
Come spring, and allergy season is at its peak. And of course, new bugs are in the air, thanks to the blooming all around you. Well, this is also the season when most kids catch something and stay home ill with sneezy noses and watery eyes. So, what can we feed them to help them feel better soon?
Encouraging active and healthy kids
Today’s kids are easily attracted to screens and get sucked into texting, video games and sometimes just plain old watching cartoons. While, this does keep them out of mischief, they do end up with a sedentary lifestyle. As parents we can encourage kids to get more active by being active ourselves. And for those times when we are busy, here are some simple objects that nudge kids to be more active.
New year resolution for kids
Happy New Year! With partying done and the holidays nearly over, it’s time to pull our lives together to welcome the New Year. One of the important things I like doing, is making new year resolutions with my family – which includes my little son! New year resolutions with a child? Yes, its possible.
Czech Ski Resorts
Skiing is a very popular winter sport in the Czech Republic. CZ receives tourists from Austria and Italy with open arms. Although the Czech Ski routes are easier and the slopes, not quite as steep in comparison to the Alps, people come here with families because of the lower prices! The services of local ski centres are also better: for instance, you need not carry any equipment, everything is available for rent!
Get some Non-Electronic Toys for Christmas
When passing the toy department at any store, you’re assaulted by a mob of flashy toys with bright colours, loud music, and loads of buttons. It’s true – electronic toys requiring batteries or those that must be plugged in have dominated the toy industry since the 80s.
