Kids of quarelling parents 'prone to school problem'

Parents be-aware. Your tiny quarrels too may spoil your kid.

A new study revealed that children who worry a lot about conflicts between their parents are more likely to show symptoms of attention problems.

An international team from Rochester University, Notre Dame University and Syracuse University has based its findings on an analysis of a group of 216 six-year-old children, their parents and their teachers over a three-year period.

Researchers found that children who had concerns about how their parents got along had more attention problems a year after the concern was first identified, the latest edition of the Child Development journal reported.

Out of 2900 results that came in google, these are the websites that are worth spending time on.
Teletubbies program will be enjoyble for the kids of the age 2 to 5. They show good colors to recognize contain various charecters like trees, rabbits, sun, a green sorrounding and a dome again with colors apart from the teletubbies themselves.

These images like the dora pages are available in JEPG and BMP formats for download.
If you are interested in seeing what teletubbies look like go here
Here is the list:
This is the BBC's original site for Teletubbies where you find not just coloring pages, but also teletubbies games, actitities etc. They have both printables as well as online coloring.

This is another site where almost 22 coloring pages are available for teletubbies. All printables.
This is another original Teletubbies site. They don't have many coloring pages. But nevertheless they a bunch to work on. They also allow coloring online.

Active Video Games Helps Burn Calories in Kids

Are you worried that your kid just sitting and playing video games in front of a TV or computer. It's time to buy some Active Video Games for him/her.

A new study found out that Active Video Games help buring calories in children. Active Video Games are nothing but Physically Active Video Games.

So, in effect Active Video Games are those video games that allow children to perform some activities insted of just sitting infront of a computer or TV and get lost in the game.

A study conducted by Robin R. Mellecker and Alison M. McManus of the Institute for Human Performance at the University of Hong Kong, showed that children burn nearly four times as many calories playing physically active videos than playing "seated video games".

As the elctronic entertainment is here to stay forever (at least that's how it looks like) as a parent it is our responsibility to buy some active video games along with seated video games.

So, parents it's time to buy some good video games (physically active) for your kids and let them burn calories.

For this kind of games I think you need to have following:

1. A Gaming Console: Playstation, or XBox or Wii by Nintendo. These gaming consoles will come with remotes. These remotes will have sensors which can recognize the direction and movement, there by allowing physical activity.

See following video:



This video is using Wii by Nintendo. To review these products you can use Amazon.com.
I provided some links for Amazon the end of this page.


2. You need to choose the right game that contains the activity part like tennis, baseball or for that matten anything that will allow physical activity.

3. A good projector or bigger screen LCD/Plasma TV will surely add to the fun.



Here are a bunch of links I found in Amazon for the Physically Active Video Games:



Also this website youngcarers.net.au has some information on it. I could not research it now, which I will end-up doing soon. But I am giving this link so that you can go here and find out what it is.

First Aid Tips For Kids

Today i would like to highlight some safety tips for ur young ones during some injury or accident.

1.If by any chance the kid gets injured by running or falling and there is severe blood coming from a particular area then immediately place some turmeric powder in that area to stop the blood flow and once the blood stops you can clean the area with water and apply some ointment with cotton and cover with plaster.

Here the turmeric powder acts as a good antiseptic and prevents from any kind of bacteria.

2. During any kind of burns, immediately wash the effected area with cold water and depending on the severity visit the doctor. If normal burns or blisters apply anti septic ointment.

3. If the child complains any stomach ache or abdominal pain, check for hunger, indigestion and constipation. Also check the kid's eating habits.
A recurring pain may be a symptom of other problems like diarrhea, appendicitis.
More info here.
Also note that the kid may be asking for your attention or did not like what he is supposed to do.
Some time a glass of sweet water with sugar mixed in it can bring down the stomach ache.

You download these Dora coloring page files and print them. I have already spent some time screening these web-pages, and this should give enough collection to print.
