Finger Puppets

Most kids love to play, watch TV or magic shows, educational shows or anything that can stimulate their creative minds.

One of the shows my 4-year old son got interested was the Finger Puppets Wrestling show on TV.  There was a little bit of apprehension in me allowing him to watch the show. You know, most moms doesn't want their kids get influenced with the idea of fighting, though maybe for most Dads, they prefer it the other way around , especially if their child is a boy. "Be always strong, brave, and never be a chicken in a fight"--- is what some dads would say to those little boys. However, out of apprehension, suddenly an appreciation of the show replaced my previous emotions upon seeing the influence of the show to my little boy. I saw him suddenly creating some face drawings on his fingers and then when he's done,  showed it to me and told me what those finger puppets were. Amazing! He even showed the different emotions through those cute creations. Wow! Lovely finger puppets!

Our kids are really creative. Let's let them be.

Snacks For Your Kids, Who Rules?

It has always been a challenge to most moms what to give for their kids as a snack in school, especially the toddlers. Much to every mom's effort of providing kids the healthiest snack, the challenge comes when the child would choose what he wants to eat.Most of the time, the child wants what we consider to be junk foods---less of nutrients, full of preservatives, with added artificial flavorings, and can even ruin a child's appetite for the next meal. If they don't get that, they don't eat, some would have tantrums, and the loving mom would give what the child wants. Difficult, huh?

In this new age where global warming is a threat, when technology is faster that instead of eating fresh foods you can be tempted to go for a fast food, One question popped into my mind: who rules in deciding for your kid's snack? What could be the best snacks for your kids?

Whatever responses would there be...here's a good tip: There's always a better choice, start to choose healthier, even not the healthiest., and always provide your child a fresh, clean water to drink.

Water is nourishing, at the same time cleansing.
