Lately, I have been discovering so much attitude of my three year old daughter. Her habits, interactions with fellow kids and her wants in life. As day passed by, she has changed little by little and the things surround her also affects with her attitudes. Parents should know this because 80% of our attitude are came from environmental influences.

My toddler is “always” busy from morning to night. Turning up from one place to another, asking questions that you might confused sometimes and thinks of a correct answer.

As for me, i let my daughter see the things surrounds her. climbing tall heights and see her reactions when she gets there. On that case, she already knows her fears by herself. And the next time she plans, she herself will refused because of that incident. Sometimes, being so over protective would somehow lose their confident. There is some instances also that i wonder how she catch the chicks alone. As she shouted that “mama, i caught a yellow chick”, of course no other color than that ahihi…

Well, out of their curiosity, they just derived the things that push them to do despite of difficulties. Children learn by exploring environment. But parents or guardians should have an attach to them and knows that their toddler is in a safe place and in ways that help them learn. Because they are just starting to discover the world.

I’m sure almost every parent could echo your frustration, for it’s hard being a parent — very hard. It’s not just exhausting physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. In fact, parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world.

But it also can be one of the most satisfying, if we learn to look beyond the immediate problems and heartaches and begin to see it from God’s point of view. After all, God gave your children to you, and He did it because He knows they need the love and wisdom only you can give them. The Bible says, “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him” (Psalm 127:3).

In other words, God has given you one of the greatest privileges imaginable: the privilege of helping shape the future of another human being. Someday your children will no longer live with you — but what will their memories be? Will they only be of bickering or conflict — or will they also be of love and joy and happiness? Don’t let your frustrations or weariness crowd out your love.

Does this word “Homesick” affect to child feeling?  As what Encarta dictionary defines it, feeling sadness and longing to be at home with family and friends when away from them.

Yes, as what I have observed with my daughter. She seemingly experienced this Homesickness with regards to her previous life in Davao.  Nicole, has its very close cousin there named kimkim. Nicole really adore her cousin and I find her adopting kimkim character. But since we’re in Dubai now, she is always imagining the way she played with kimkim, yesterday, she is in the window shouting “kimkim, where are you?” ahahaha…but she smiled at me when she knew that I heard it. Hahaha actually, we are laughing that time.

Normally, when we are separated from home, we do feel that way too. Missing the things that you are usually do. Okay, below are the most effective ways of coping it. This is based from my experience also.

o    Keeping a positive attitude

o    Maintaining contact with home, through letters, e-mails, chat, or text activity.

o    Communication, talking with friends or nearby relatives.

o    Enjoying what’s different about the novel environment.

o    Bringing a “transitional object”, something special from home. Like book, stuff toy.

But for now, Nicole is fine here, she easily get along with our flatmate and do some naughty things again. Hahay…that is child is all about. We have to fully understand them because that is part of their growth.

“If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the spirit, we will have life and peace”.

Our desires fight against God, because they do not and cannot obey God’s laws.

If we follow our desired, we cannot please God.

My dear friends, we must not live to satisfy our desired. If you do, you will die. But you will live, if by the help of God’s spirit you say “No” to your desires.

Ahihii.. I can’t write anything…I don’t know how will I begin my blog. It is so noisy and crowded. Things are not the same as before. I guess guys life is a constant change. And it is better indeed to be versatile and flexible at all times. Well, thanks that I easily managed my life and despite of those hardships in life, I still have trust and confident that I can do all things with the guidance of God of course.

Last week, I am a bit sad due to my husbands news. He texted me that days are really tight and it has 35 days more to go, then things will bring back to our previous life. Complete life with husband and daughter on my side. But I expected him to go home last march this year. And that is the reason why I resigned despite of those boring days there at the office. So far, my life is on the smooth road. All the things that passed are just flaws. I know in God’s time things will bring back to its life that I wanted. Prayers are really important. I know! I need to believe that, and I must!

Believe and it will be given!

Through my life, I always believe that we are lived by means of our basic needs but within that we are experiencing different trials in order for us to live. Well, it has always been a part of our life to face and solve each trial that have been come along.

Our lives are full of events – things that happen around us may somehow connect to our future situation. Every minute has its different circumstances that may come to our life. Despite of being so considerate that we are lived in a world full of confusion and mess but this two won’t affect us personally, if we are eager to fight and accept the consequences. The fact is we cannot ever change the world but we can simply change our self. How we deal our life is what really matter most. We can easily survive the world as long as you have faith in God. Prayers must be a habit. We can pray anywhere, even on our mind. Students and other young people often think deeply whether they can survive their life or not. It is like taking an examination; if you are well prepared then you don’t have to worry at all. Because you know that the entire given question are also based on what you have reviewed and tackle in the classroom.

World is full of temptation. Most teens didn’t know how to handle because they are lack of family’s advices. Parent must mold them in a right path in order for them to stand on their own. Most teens now are facing dilemma in school and in their teenage life. Others are weak and they tend to let their life stop by taking on to suicidal move. The question is how parents rescue their weaknesses? The answer is in God. As long as you are God-fearing, and you have full of knowledge and kind wisdom that comes from the parents’ mouth, then it is easy to fight against horrific situation.

The first time our baby Nicole arrived at home, we were so excited to feed her and take good care of her, not thinking the basic and right thing to do. Both me and my hubby were innocent when it comes to baby. I didn’t know what to do when my baby cries, all I thought is she is hungry and needs to feed urgently. and gradually I observed that she cry because the diaper is so tight and needed to change. At first, I used petroleum jelly to ease the pain and feel comfortable also while sleeping. No one taught us or even guide us in taking care of her.

Here’s the tips on how to prevent and treating diaper rash.

• Check your baby’s diaper often and change it as soon as it’s wet or soiled
• Carefully clean your baby’s bottom between diaper changes. Use plain warm (not hot) water with or without a very mild soap.
• Allow your baby’s skin to dry completely before putting on another diaper.
• Avoid baby wipes that are scented or contain alcohol.
• Use products that contain zinc oxide ointment (such as Desitin Ointment) or petroleum (such as Vaseline) to protect your baby’s skin from moisture.
• Avoid using plastic pants or diapers with plastic edges.
• After bathing, pat your baby’s bottom dry with a towel rather than scrubbing it. Scrubbing can irritate your baby’s sensitive skin.
• If diaper rash persists, change the type of wipes, diapers or soap you’re using.

When you are looking at homes to buy there are so many different things you need to look into before you can ever decide if a particular home is right for you. First off you need to look at the home itself and make sure it has everything you want in a home. You also need to check out the property the house is setting on to make sure it is the right size and has the right accommodations for your needs. Second you need to look at the specific location of the house. For instance, is the house close to where you work, if you have children how far away the nearest school is, and how far is the nearest grocery store, etcetera. Third you should look into the crime rates for the particular area you want to buy a home. Among many other aspects you need to factor in when looking at buying a home.

If you have children you will want to look at the local schools in each location you are considering moving to. You should also factor in things like how long of a bus ride your children are going to have depending on where you move. You should also decide if you want your children to go to a public school or a private school.

When buying a home you also need to decide where exactly would be the right place for. Would you rather live in an urban type setting, in the country, in the suburbs, or in a gated community? All four types of settings have there pros and cons, but only you can decide which would be the best location for you and your family.

One particular aspect that comes with living in specific communities and neighborhoods are home owner’s associations. Home owner’s associations tend to be very strict on what they allow residents to do to their homes, yards, and landscaping, so if you do not want that hassle then you should make sure the homes you are looking at do not fit into this category.

My daughter’s milk is always included in my budget list. Despite how hard life was, I still bought nutritious milk for Nicole, I didn’t mind how it cost as long as she the taste is good and it has for brain booster. I have many things to consider before buying stuff but last week, it is holiday so no work, I had fun time window shopping but can’t resist the temptation. I saw my dream mobile phone and I bought it. Ahihi… Actually, I just swipe it using my credit card. It has all the features that I want, like dual Sim Card, touch screen and 2 mega-pixel. I bought it since my previous phone did not function well and my husband insisted me to buy a new one. Just this week, I received a message from Bloggerwave that offers me to blog and make money. I was so thankful since I had to pay my phone monthly which cost 41.5$. I believe that through my hard work, perseverance and patience I can pay all my debts without any delays in mean time. But first I have to thank God for giving me this wisdom and courage to face my every day trials. Mwahh…I feel so blessed!
