This poem is published in 1744,  for first time. And in nineteenth century it composed as a song for kids.
It is also said that it is satire on the export tax on cotton industry  that was implemented by the King Edward in the early thirteenth century.

Another view about its historical concept suggests that it refers to the tenure to of Edward II who encouraged the Flemish weavers and dyers to improve the quality of their production, because the best cotton in Europe was produced in London at that time.

"Ring a Ring a Roses" is a kid's gaming song that they sing during a game in which they make a ring by keeping hands.

But it is also said that it may have a connection to the historical plague in London in 1665. A rosy  red round  rash was a symptom of that fatal disease. And traditionally people kept their pockets full of posies and herbs, for, they think its reason was bad smell.

The use of "Ashes Ashes" make a guess to the great fire in which all disease carrier rat were burned.
In latest version of this poem "A tissue A tissue" is used in the Place of "Ashes Ashes." A tissue A tissue is gesture towards the sneezing that was another symptom for this disease.

Kids in Third World

image belongs to http://sxc.hu/

I love kids. That is why, I have created this blog, to help parents and guardians of innocent kids take proper care of their kids. I have written many posts about common problems among kids, about their dressing and maintenance, about their growth and development, and so on.

But last week I have to visit my native village, for my Grandfather's sickness. There I saw a woman having some cheap snacks in a basket to sell. She had two kids in her company. When I saw those kids, dressed up in rough and torn warm sweaters, with their stuffy nose and dry lips, bare feet, innocence in eyes,  in that cold early morning, I got trembled. They had a dark brown rash on their faces and no caps at all. The elderly girl had another basket of snacks to sell. But she was only 9 or 10 years old and it seemed to be hard for her to carry that basket because she was putting it on her head and after few minutes on the floor. And I have not seen that scene for the first time. These types of scenes are common in third-world countries.

 Any one of you can imagine the life of a common kid in third world countries, where most of the kids are deprived of their primary needs, such as food, clothing, and a proper bed or place to sleep. Many kids have to spend their nights without any shelter; on footpaths, grounds, and plain plots. 40-45% of kids have food only one time a day. 30% of kids have no food even a single time of day. Many of them have to survive on a limited amount of food, a day.

Here I would like to share the incident. I had a meeting by chance, with one of the maids of my friend. My friend asked her to throw out the extra rice and chicken qorma (a local Pakistani dish) that were left after dinner a day before. But in spite of throwing that all stuff into the bin, she gave it to her 8 years old daughter to eat. I was surprised and inquired her why was she fetching her daughter on that food, which may be got spoiled then. She answered that something is better than nothing. Many kids are fetched on the food that is wasted. I have seen many children, who collect objects from garbage piles, eating rotten fruits and other eatables that they find from the garbage while doing their duty of collecting objects. 

In short, I want to draw the attention of the world to the painful and terrible life of a common third-world child, who has to face the cruel face of the world.            

Pets for kids

-->  In this hurry and worry world, we are suffering from lack of time and have not much time for each other and our families. It is said that man is a social animal. It is the nature of mankind to have a company. In the same way the kids also need to have a nice and entertaining company. The best company for a kid is a beautiful and cute pet.

A pet can be a best playing mate for your kid, either its ball catching or little hurdle race kids always enjoy the company of their pet. This company is not only beneficial as a friend for free time but it also make your kid more responsible as children like to take care of their pet. They try to provide them food on time, look for their shelter place and specially take interest in cute look of little animals.

But along all these positive aspects just be careful in choosing right pet for your kid. Kids have very sensitive and innocent nature usually they don't know about their good and bad, so it depends on elders to choose best for them.

If your kid has breathing problem or allergic to pet's fur, then cat is not suitable pet for him, like the same if your kid has sensitive skin then spare him from furry animals and buy some colourful sparrows or parrots for him.Birds as a pet are easy to manage and colourful company. As well as kids birds can also be good fellows for elders, you just need a cage in corner of your lawn and enjoy their sweet chirping with supper.

Some pets like sheep, goat or hen and other cattle can provide healthy diet for whole family. If you have enough space in your backyard, you can manage a farm on small scale with your kitchen garden. This would be an activity for elderly members, company for young members and benefit for whole family.

If you feel you are so busy and not enough time to take care of your kid's pet, especially in case when your kid is so young, you can just arrange some colourful fish in a beautiful crystalline case or crystal jar. The fish will prove a colourful and amazing, neat and clean, easy and attractive pet for your young ones.

Is Your Baby's Eye Sight Normal !

Eyes are the great gift of God. Because of eyes, the world is colorful. If eyes are not working well, it means the world is dark and colorless. The parents should make sure the world is colorful for their kids. For this purpose, a child should be observed keenly by parents. 

Now the question is how to know about weak eyesight among kids, particularly, the kids under 1 year. It is not so difficult. It needs only a keen observation of parents. For example, when parents observe, that kid is insisted to watch TV standing or sitting quite in front of the TV, poking his face to the screen, and when you try to get him away or enforce him to sit or stand away from the TV, he gets irritated. Then there is a doubt, that the kid may have some eyesight problem. At this stage, the parents should be more careful about their kid, because, sometimes it causes a great loss for the child.

Here I wish to tell you about my own nephew who always insists to watch TV poking his face into the TV screen. He did never accept to go away from it. We did not notice, why he is doing so? We perceive it as only a bad habit. Anyway, the time passes and he becomes 7 years old and a regular school-going kid.  About a few months ago, we changed his school. At the first parent-teacher meeting, his parents were told about his eyesight problem. Because his teacher felt, that when he works from board sitting at his seat there are a lot of mistakes and when he works standing near the board there are no mistakes. She told his parents he may have weak eyesight. Anyhow, they got embarrassed, and rush to an Eye specialist. The Doctor told them that they are too late because his eyesight was below 3.5 at the age of seven and it was going down in plus. That means no recovery yet. 

I wish other parents should save their children from such a situation. If your child is doing something out of the way, you should find the reason for it.

Tom and Jerry

http://browse.deviantart.com/resources/?q=tom+and+jerry#/d2vsrze

 Who doesn't know about Tom and Jerry, which is the most popular animated cartoon series? It is ever liked by kids and elders, both. These marvelous characters are created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
"Hanna and Barbera ultimately wrote and directed 114 Tom and Jerry shorts at MGM Cartoon studio in Holly wood, between 1940 and 1957, when the animated unit as closed."(Wikipedia)

It has a spontaneous overflow. When you sit to watch a Tom and Jerry short, you can't help laughing either you or your kid is in any mood. It is basically a battle between a cat (Tom) and a mouse (Jerry) who want to defeat each other, for this victory their acts cause a comic situation. And everyone enjoys it.
Basically, Tom is a house cat and Jerry is a clever little mouse. Tom always tries to catch Jerry, but, he rarely succeeded in catching Jerry. Because Jerry is cunning and clever. His cunning abilities and luck always help him to defeat Jerry. Jerry is not only cunning he is also kind-hearted because he is seen to help others, such as duckling, a circus lion, etc. But sometimes seems to be a bit selfish.
They are sometimes allies against a common enemy. If the enemy is great and is dangerous for both Tom and Jerry, they fight as allies against it. The common enemies for both are usually, Spike and Tyke, Butch, or any other force like this. The Spike is seen as a common enemy in very rare cases, usually, it helps Jerry against Tom.  Jerry very cleverly uses Spike against Tom.

  Other Characters:

Among other characters, other than, Tom And Jerry, are Spike, Tyke, Butch, Tuffy, And Toodles.

Spike is an aggressive bull Dog and Tyke is his little son. The usual reason among Tom and Spike is little Tyke.

Butch is a vulgar street cat who is always in a struggle to tease Tom. The Toodles is a cute cat, that appeals the Tom and is a reason for hate among Tom and Butch.

Tuffy is another little mouse in Gray color who accompanies Jerry. And sometimes a student of Jerry. He also clever but innocent. 

Baby Freedom

When a newborn opens his eyes to this world, everything is new and surprising for him. As the baby grows older, he takes interest in his surroundings. He wants to explore everything. A sense of curiosity arouses in his mind and behavior. Sometimes he wants to approach the things that are harmful to him, but, he is not aware of the harms.

At this stage, parents sometimes, get embarrassed, about, what to do to comfort their baby's curiosity. Because a baby needs freedom, and when he is forced to stop to do something, what he wants to do, the baby becomes irritated and aggressive. And experts say that the use of force to stop a baby to do something is, harmful for the development of healthy behavior among kids. The kids try to do those things secretly, which sometimes cause a great loss, in some cases, to kids as well as parents.

Hence, parents should be careful about their behavior and attitude toward kids. They need to make their kids confident and efficient. and need to adopt friendly behavior towards their kids. If something is broken accidentally, by a kid, the kid should not be scolded or snapped but needs to be pampered. And it is sure he would be careful for next time. If, a baby or kid wants to do something, let him do it. If you think it would be harmful to your baby or kid, indulge him in some other relevant activity. Suppose, he wants to lit a fire on the stove, it is dangerous anyway, you can play a video clip or some cartoon strip, in which his favorite character is going to lit fire to the stove and got burned. In this way, you can convey your message to your kid in a friendly way. The punishment is not the right solution for innocent kids, because kid's minds are like a plain sheet, they display the thing, that is acquired through the environment or they make to learn. Whenever it happens, that a kid is an abode by something by force, he gets overaggressive. In this situation, he is not ready to learn or follow the rules. Now, you should think, what is he learning, is not obedience but a violation. In short, a baby needs freedom to a very extent, and as a parent, you need to guide him in such a way, through which he gets something positive and fruitful for his personality and future

Your babies and kids need freedom. So, do not interrupt their liberty and freedom, if you want to make them confident and successful.  

Train your Baby to Sleep in Time.

When a person got a baby, he may be deprived of proper sleep. Particularly those parents who have their first kid. And those parents who have night babies; night baby means, the baby who sleep in the day and more active at night.

But, it is a matter that can be handled easily. The parents can train their baby according to a particular schedule. Be aware, do not impose a routine schedule on your newborn. When your infant becomes up to 7 weeks, you can gradually try to develop a routine for your baby. You can do this by following the proper schedule. Suppose, You give a warm bath to your baby at night, at a specific time, feed him, and let him sleep. In the morning change his nap at a specific time, give him a morning bath and play with him. Follow this routine daily and do all tasks at the same time of the day, daily. At the start, he may sleep for 3 to 4 hours and then awakes for feed. But, gradually he will extend his sleeping hours. Especially, when he starts to feed on solid food, at the age of 4-6 months. When a baby is fed solid food, he can sleep from 8to 12 hours long at night. But you need to make sure before your baby is going to sleep, that his tummy should be full.

It is necessary for your baby's peaceful sleep and your own sleep too.

In the beginning, if you feel that your baby is not comfortable with his new routine, then you should not force him to follow it, in any way. You need to wait a few weeks more, and then try your schedule again. And you need to make sure another thing also, that is about your baby's health. Sometimes kids are sick and they can't sleep peacefully and awake after short intervals. 

In short, sound sleep is very important for your baby. Take care of your baby's sleep and health.
