How To Stop Tantrum's Child At Public Area


 Children who have stopped raging at home also need to be told if tantrums in public will be the same rewarded. That consequences  may be difficult to the parents.When your little angels precious act in public is staring at you, scathing comments and chatter that is so cornered, you feel as a parent who has failed miserably. 

You are a precious little angel began raging in public, you have to give response.Tell him that you will not tolerate his behavior, but always start with a time-out, in a place where the child can try to soothe themself.


Just try this step : 
1. Tell the child that if he does not calm down, he will enter time out.Then count to five as a warning.
2. Then take your child to a quiet place for one minute for each year of age.
3.
Ask whether the child is ready to discuss the problem calmly.
4. Listen to the child, and thank him because he have talked.Take him  back to shop, eat, or whatever activity you are doing.
5. Back to your previous activity. 


Only when the child could not calm himself, then you say to him if you are with your child away from that place, and then really go with the kids following you.
We've left a lot of shop. We never left so much stuff in the shop.We've often said to the children if they do not calm down, they will sit in the security office until lunch over.We ever come out of the restaurant before the meal is presented, with six childs following, when one of them behaving outrageous (and then return to eat when the child has been quiet). 


Remember, the earlier you prepare your children about what will happen when you leave the house, the less likely they will behave strangely. (Nanny 911)

Buying and Selling Used Homeschool Curriculum



If the idea of using used homeschool curriculum for your kids seems tacky, then you need to re-think the matter. Used curriculum is often in excellent quality, the information is the same as in new books, and it can save you an enormous amount of money.

As you begin your homeschool, you'll quickly find that the biggest expense will be the curriculum. This is true for every homeschool family. Thus, each year, every parent finds themselves asking the same question: How can we make the curriculum fit in with our budgets. The good news is that this does not have to break you, thanks to affordable curriculum alternatives.

The best option: Find some place that sells used curriculum materials in good condition. By doing so, you can save more than half of your brand-new curriculum costs. What's more, at the end of the school year, you can round up all of that year's materials and re-sell them, thus recovering even more of the money you spent. If you choose to go the used routes, here are some suggestions that might help you in your quest to buy and sell used homeschool curriculum:

1) Keep an eye on auction websites. The bigger ones have an enormous amount of almost everything, and this includes homeschool material. You can often score quite the bargain here--as well as sell your old stuff at a decent price.

2) Likewise, the big-named booksellers have textbook and workbook materials for your homeschool. And the biggest names let you buy either new or used.

3) Don't forget to visit your local library. Most are chock full of school texts and workbooks, which you can use at no charge whatsoever!

4) Here's our suggested process when you get ready to buy and sell curriculum materials. First, look through the catalog from which you normally order your curriculum. Find all of the items you'll need for the next term for all classes. Then examine last year's curriculum, nothing everything that you can get rid of. Now make a list of all of the things that you don't need that you think others might want to buy. Then make a price list, giving a price to everything on your list of items. Finally, go to the major auction and classified-ad sites to sell your used items.

There is one other option that many people forget when discussing buying and selling curriculum. Most homeschool families know other homeschool families. Why not create an exchange that includes all of the homeschool families you know? This way, everyone in the exchange can make use of curriculum materials that other members no longer need. You can include other supplies in the exchange, too: chalkboards, erasers, pencils, markers, swab boards and swab, plus many other items.

The benefit of buying used homeschool curriculum is the advantage of spending little money on what are perfectly fine school materials. Keep in mind that the important thing in a textbook is the information it contains. And information stays just as beneficial and valuable, no matter how used the pages are. Buying used is smart, not tacky.

How to Involve Children in Leadership Roles


Involving children in leadership roles is a great way to encourage their ability to lead a team and take responsibility for it at such a young age. This type of skill takes a bit of time and practice to develop. You can help your child perform a better job as a leader by exposing them to an environment wherein they can take the lead.
Assign Them Tasks
Before one can become a leader, they must learn how to follow first. You must therefore assign your child tasks that require them to do something. You can start out with a simple task first and evaluate how well they have performed in it. Focus on tasks that promote a variety of skills. If you have a major task for them to do, break that down into smaller tasks that are easier to achieve.
Focus on enabling them to adapt a variety of skills through the task, such as team work, communication, and working on relationships. All of these are vital to turning one into a leader.
Get Them To Lead an Activity
Once they have learned what it takes to be a follower, you can assign them the opportunity to take on a leadership role. Make sure to start with small such as letting them plan a game or fun activity with other kids. You can also focus on specific tasks that are easier for them to handle, such as teaching younger siblings on a specific subject, or planning a fun activity. Focus on allowing them to share their skills and knowledge by breaking down steps to a larger goal.
Get Them Involved in Event Planning
If you are not too confident about allowing your child to take over planning or leading of an activity, why not get them involved in yours? Practical application is indeed the best teacher. A good idea is to assign them smaller tasks in an event planning, which also benefits you as you can get an extra pair of hands. One example would be to help them in planning the party for their birthday celebration. If you can get them involved, they would appreciate the celebration even more knowing that they took part in putting it together.
Identify What Leadership Roles Fit For Them
Being a leader does not mean that you can take on literally any task that you are assigned with. You need to think about this when training your children in leadership roles. It can stretch their abilities and could put on too much pressure on them. Learn how to identify specific skills that they have and look at how you can utilize that in leadership roles to nourish their ability to lead others. If their leadership role requires a skill that they already have, leading others will naturally follow.
Encourage Participation in School Clubs or Groups
The best training ground for children to become a leader is at school by joining groups and clubs. Allow your child to choose a group to join depending on their particular area of interest. Then, encourage them to showcase their skills and knowledge to be awarded with leadership position. Children in leadership roles at school are more likely to succeed soon after they leave school because of their unique ability to utilize the skills they have to benefit a group.
Sport and recreational activities can be a great way to teach your child leadership skills. If they enjoy leadership, sporting activities and games can provide roles and positions they can inspire to, work towards and/or be elected into. These positions may include team captain, team manager, coach or assistant coach.(Janelle Farley)
