At the school, I met up with one of the boys from the camp. When one of the masters discovered that we had lived in Egypt, he got us to sit cross-legged in front of esch other at an assembly and conduct a conversation in Arabic. We sat there exchanging all those important Arabic phrases that we had picked up from the soldiers, plus, of course, the gestures that went with them. Everyone was impressesd and we were were warmly applauded. If only...more

Relaxation is a learned behavior, especially in today's hurried societies. Setting aside this time each week not to be engaged in an active, thinking activity helps baby learn to enjoy quiet play and learn that relaxation can include times other than naptime and bedtime.We know as adults that we encounter stress, but we may forget that baby also experiences stress and frustration as she learns and grows. Helping baby learn to intentionally relax will serve her well all her life as she encounters the stresses of the world.Baby's most rapid growth and development occur during the first two years of life, from reflexive infant to capable toddler with a well-developed sense of self. It is important for this incredible little learner to have quiet times to just be aware without actively being stimulated by you or his environment.Today's children are stripped of opportunities to let their mind 'wander' - to do nothing but let the mind's fantasy take flight. Experts have reaffirmed that day-dreaming is essential to a creative mind. Quiet time provides the opportunity.Unstructured quiet time teaches children to take a moment, watch and just listen rather than always being on the go. ...more

By now most have heard about Webkinz being a big favorite among kids. If haven't, probably will soon enough as they aren't going away any time soon. Webkinz definitely has a strange name to it, but lots of fun is attached to this interactive game/pet as it isn't just a stuffed animal. Those who watch kids and get involved know very well what these can do to a kid. And that is in a good way!Webkinz are stuffed toys, but really are so much more. These Webkinz were first released by a company called Ganz in April of 2005. Not many expected the excitement that has ensued since that initial release. What makes them stand out from normal stuffed animals is that they have a special code sealed in their tag that allows special recipients access to the very interactive virtual website. Thus having their own virtual Webkinz pet to raise without the mess etc. Of course this has many positives for those who can't get a real pet or the parents just don't want to deal with all of the hassles. Obviously not a perfect replacement to a real pet, but then again gets access to some very rare animals in the world to play with and learn about. That is the beauty of these Webkinz pets as...more
