How to Raise a Child Who Listens Well
I found this on BabyCenter.com and I liked it so much and found it so useful that had to share it with everyone! Enjoy!
Being a good listener is critical to your child's success at school. If he can't follow directions, whether on the playground ("Pick a partner and pass the ball back and forth across the field") or in the classroom ("Take out a piece of paper and a crayon") — he'll have a tough time learning. Children who are good listeners also have an advantage socially — they tend to be very good friends to others.
Here are seven ways you can help your child become a better listener:
Be a good listener yourself
Don't interrupt your child when he's telling you a story. Give him your undivided attention when he's talking — don't read the paper or carry on a conversation with someone else at the same time. Turn your attention to him when he wants to tell or show you something. If you want him to listen to you, he needs to see that you will listen to him too. Children return the respect they receive — and children who are listened to tend to become good listeners themselves.
Give clear, simple directions for everyday tasks
Get in the habit of giving your child simple instructions. Make eye contact with him, and say, "Please go into your room and make your bed. Then get your backpack and meet me downstairs." As he becomes a better listener, you can add another task or two. In this way, you're not only teaching your child to listen well, but also to be independent.
Praise good listening
Saying "Thanks for being such a good listener" will reinforce your child's desire to listen. Make a special point of praising him when he follows directions the first time.
Say what you mean
If you tell your child "You can have two more cookies," then give him two cookies — not three or four. Once your child figures out that you don't stick to your word, he'll tune you out.
Be consistent about consequences
If you tell your child that you will leave the grocery store if he continues to stand up in the cart, follow through without giving him another chance. Your child will be more inclined to do what is asked of him when he understands that his actions have clear, enforceable consequences.
Read aloud together
The time you spend reading together will help prepare your child for story time at school. He'll be expected to sit still for longer and longer periods so anything you can do at home to help him increase his tolerance for listening will help. But don't force your fidgety preschooler to listen to books he's not interested in — this will make him less rather than more interested in reading.

New Years Resolutions Worksheets
Wow the new year is almost here. Its time for making goals again. I found this article on the web and I thought I would share it with everyone.
It’s tough to keep resolutions, but this can help. The Resolution Worksheet is all about helping you set and keep your goals. Just download it, print one for as many resolutions as you have, and fill it out!
http://media.vocalpoint.com/email/2012_Resolution_Worksheet.pdf
Here’s a explanation of each section on the worksheet.
Goals / Time to accomplish: Write down your goal, and be as specific as possible! Don’t say “exercise more.” Say “be working out three time per week by June.” Don’t say “eat healthier.” Say “feature vegetables in every dinner by February.” Or whatever applies to your goal! Being specific helps you focus on what needs to be done and makes it more attainable. Setting a deadline helps you establish stages to reach your goal.
Monthly goals: Setting a goal each month (or each week, if your resolution will only take a few months) breaks your resolution into manageable steps you can tackle one at a time. Think about your resolution and how you can break it so that you’ll be excited to work toward it.
Strategy: What’s your strategy? Are you starting with small changes and gradually working up to bigger ones? Do you need classes or more prep before you can dive in? How are you prepared to beat any potential frustration? Write how you want to work up to each monthly goal here.
Supplies: What do you need? Better running shorts, more healthy recipes, a how-to book, a new computer program? Write it down, and give yourself a deadline.
Calls: Do you need to call anyone or anyplace to ask about rates, fees, ideas, times, dates, or advice? Write them down here, and give yourself a deadline by which to make the calls.
Resources: Have any great blogs, books, websites, or people who can help you on your journey to attaining your goal? Scour the web if you’re not sure, and write those resources here. Refer to this list often for support and ideas.
Encouragement buddies: There’s nothing like a friend who can encourage you to achieve your goal. Ask a friend if he or she would be willing to occasionally give you some encouragement or a verbal kick to get you in the right direction if you feel yourself entering a slump. Call them freely and ask for that push!
Rewards: If you stick to your monthly goals, you deserve a reward! Is it a new book, a night out, a new accessory? Keep an eye on this box to see what you’re working for (apart from the satisfaction of completing your resolution, that is!), and don’t reward yourself unless you’ve completed the goal.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! AND GOOD LUCK!!!

How to Teach a Child to Write
It take a lot of practice before a child can learn to write their alphabet. When teaching a child to write it is important to remember that quality is more important then quantity.
In order to teach my children to write, what I do is have them write just one latter for two days and she has to write two pages full in school and for homework, then we proceed to the next letter. You can have the child trace the letter or write on their own. Tracing works easier for my children. The reason I only have children write 0ne letter for only two days is because they will get board and become tired of the same letter. This is where I go for tracing pages :

Love Parenting
Being a good parent is not easy but if you do your best and learn to love parenting
you will have great benefits and joy. When your child act out don't see it as a problem but as a opportunity to teach them and always remember that children are not perfect and will make many mistakes. A child memory is so short that you have to tell them something many times before they will remember it. You will make mistakes and that OK because parents and children have to work together to learn about being a good to each other. The most important thing for parents to do with their children is communicate with them. If you can teach your child to communicate with you and to respect themselves and others that in itself is a great achievement. Parenting can be either hard or beautiful. Its up to you how you will perceive it!

Oral-B Stages and MommyParties Review
I was very excited to learn that I was selected for a Mommy Party. I had some of my mommy friends and their children over for some fun. My children helped set up our movie theater. We decorated our TV room with paper chains that we made.
In our Oral B stages party supplies we received:
Movie Theater
-Disney Winnie the Pooh Movie
-Oral-B Goodie Bags
-Oral-B Balloons
-Popcorn Boxes
-Oral-B Stages Toothpaste in 3 different Disney themes: Cars, Toy Story, and Princess. (so the boys & girls could have their own kind)
-Oral-B Stages Disney Winnie the Pooh Toothbrushes
-Winnie the Pooh Disney Naturals Hair and Body Wash
- and Oral-B fact sheets
-Oral-B Flash Cards
The children enjoyed answering the question from the Flash Cards and was so happy that they got the questions right. The children enjoyed the Winnie the Pooh Movie and said that they would watch it again. They loved having their own popcorn cartons!
Everyone enjoyed going home with a goodie bag of their own. The kids were very happy to get new toothbrushes and Winnie the Pooh Disney Naturals Hair and Body Wash. My daughters like to take bubble baths with the Winnie the Pooh body wash. I like how it makes their skin smell! The two year old children loved their new toothbrush because it was just the right size for their hands. All the moms were happy to receive the . My daughters like how the toothpaste taste like bubble gum.
Mom enjoying the movie!

Are You Feeling Frustrated ?
Have you been feeling lately?
There is a point when a lot of people will just say, “I Quit” and give up. Before you do though, here’s some steps you can take to get through frustration:
Ask Yourself, “What Is Working in This Situation?”
Even if feels like nothing is working, look closely and you will probably find at least something that is going right. So, that’s great. You’ve found something that’s working. Now, how do you improve it? By asking this question, you’ve taken yourself out of the negative mindset of “it’s hopeless” and you are back to focusing on the positive.
Keep an Accomplishments Log
Write down everything you accomplish in a log. If you do it in a monthly format you will be able to see all that you have accomplished in one month. You may be surprised by how much you have done. If you realize there’s not much on the list, it may open your eyes to the fact that you may be procrastinating more than working or that you are using too much of your energy doing too many things and that you need to focus more. Hopefully, you will have lots of items on your list then you can know that even though it may not feel like it, you are moving forwards. The log will also help show where you were the most effective and where you need to work harder.
Focus On What You Want to Happen
Go back to the big picture. What is the desired outcome? Sometimes, we get so wrapped up in one problem and trying to solve it that we forget what we were originally trying to accomplish. Try not to ask yourself, “Why did this happen?” Asking questions like that will keep you rooted in the past. It doesn’t offer a solution to the problem. The important thing is knowing the answer to the following two questions:
- What do you want to happen differently this time?”
- What do you need to do in order to get there?
Remove the “Noise” and Simplify
When you’re trying to solve a problem, you can get so wrapped up in trying to find a solution that you add unnecessary clutter, noise, and tasks to a project because you thought they “might” be a solution.
Determine what is really necessary and remove everything else. Anything that takes your too much time and effort that isn’t adding value, should be removedd.
Multiple Solutions
You always have options. You just need to brainstorm and figure them out. Tell yourself you need to come up with possible options to what you’re dealing with. Just knowing that you have lots of options will help to make you feel better. You won’t feel like you are trapped in one negative situation. From your list, figure out the best solution and do it.
Take Action
When you get into serious frustration with a problem, you tend not to want to work on it anymore. It’s hard, it’s frustrating, and you’re not getting anywhere. So, anything to avoid having to be in that situation may be far more attractive. Procrastination may start to set in. If you can keep taking steps forwards, you will probably make it past this temporary hump.
The other thing that can happen is that you start to spend a lot of time worrying. Worrying is a waste of energy and does not help you move in a forwards direction. Only taking action will. Once you start moving forwards again, you will most likely find that you worried for no reason at all.
Visualize a Positive Outcome to the Situation
A lot of times you can get stuck on focusing on what you don’t want to happen or fearing the absolute worst thing that could happen. There should be no roam for failure in your mind. This is what you need to focus on as well. See yourself achieving your desired goal. What will it feel like? How will you feel? Take the time to visualize it and really feel it. It will help you to keep moving forwards.
Stay Positive
Things are usually not as bad as they appear. Sometimes, things seem much worse simply because we’re tired or mentally drained. Taking a break and remembering to keep your sense of humor can also help. This type of frustration will pass. A positive mind is far more open to solutions and answers than a negative one that thinks that everything is “hopeless” and “useless”. A closed mind will not be able to see the possible solutions when they come along. Stay positive.
As with any problem, the solution is to figure out what your options are, decide on a plan, focus, and then take action. By using the above steps, you should find that you’re running into fewer problems and feeling less frustration.

The Importants of Communication
It is very important to communicate with your children. I believe that the reason so many parents have so many problems with their child is because they don't understand the value of talking with their children. Many parents believe that they should do things to their children with out explaining why they are doing what they are doing. They think that because they are the adult they don't have to explain themselves to their children. "Don't ask my why my parents used to say to me. "Just do as you are told"
So many parents tell their children to do thing without telling them why they should or shouldn't do things,so as a result children grow up not understanding their religion and themselves. If a parent tells a child not to tease people but don't explain why, the child will do it again because they don't see any harm in it.
So parents if you want to have a more happy life with your children,communicate with them so that they will understand the how and why of life.You will understand them and they will understand you, themselves, and other people. They will know that they don't have to cry, yell or hit in order to get what they want in life.
