Measles Attack in Punjab

All of us know about the epidemics and their fatal affects. The more known epidemics  are chicken pox, measles, plague etc. The chicken pox and Measles are mostly seen in kids that's why in many countries kids are injected vaccines against such type of dangerous diseases. In Pakistan, the vaccines are available for all infants and kids at national level, but, one of Pakistani province Punjab is now victim of measles. The innocent kids are dying with measles on daily bases. Today, two kids are died with measles in Punjab. The parents are really embarrassed about the measles.It is a horrible situation for parents having little kids. Not only kids but, elders are also hit by this dangerous disease. My own sister in law suffered from measles a month ago. The elders can survive but the kids are weak creature therefore they are dying.
The Punjab Health minister Salima Hashmi has announced that a campaign against measles would be launched next month. It would cover 30.3 millions kids aged between nine months to ten years.
    Now, what's up in next months. Many parents are injecting additional vaccines on their own behalf. But many many kids are deprived of vaccines. The measles is preventable by vaccines, but, it can break and spread more speedily, if the entire population is not vaccinated. Now the matter is why whole population is not vaccinated. There  can be shortage of vaccines or ignorance of people who hide their kids at the time of vaccine because they think the vaccine are dangerous for their kids. I observe some people are afraid of fever after vaccines. All of these thoughts are because of lack of awareness and ignorance. Therefore the programs about the awareness of vaccines are also necessary besides the vaccines.These programs must be held in low educated and backward areas.

My Kids Have Their Pets

This summer When I visited my Mom's home. There was something new for me that my kids want to show me. My nephew said to me "phupo" I have a surprise for you. He was so excited. So, in the afternoon, he took me to his favorite place. There was really an amazing thing. 

Sindey with her little chicks

A dark brown hen was hatching eggs and there were very cute innocent and soft chicks. Most of the chicks were out of their eggs but a few were in their eggs.

Now, these chicks are roundabout of a month and play on the lawn all day long. My nephew Ali Abbas is crazy for his "Sindey"; he calls that hen "Sindey", and her chicks. In the morning, I see, he takes his breakfast to those chicks and his mother has a hand on her head, "oh, what to do of that boy who crazy for his chicks."Now he is thinking about sweet names for his chicks. But they are too little to be identified.

 For two days Abbas is so disturbed and upset because he finds two of his chicks sick about two days ago. and now one of them is gone. he is so sad and is eating nothing. Now we are giving them treatment. And I hope others will be fine. And we will see the smile on his face again.

Top 10 Android Apps for kids

 If you have an Android device and have kids too, then, you have a blessing. Because it is a common fact you have to go out of your home with your kids for many things, such as, for recreation, for the Doctor visit, for shopping, for school etc. And usually happens you caught in traffic, or you have to wait for the Doctor or you have to wait for anything else, at that time that android device becomes a blessing for you, because you can use it to entertain your child. Your child will be happy to play a game there.

There are so many apps available for kids that are not only entertaining  but useful also for learning purpose.

The android apps that I like for son, niece and nephews are

• Talking Friends
• Fruit Ninja.
• Toddler Taping Zoo
• Kids Alphabets
• Kids finger paint
• Kids numbers and math
• Colors
• Spelling bee
• Real Piano
• Monkey Preschool Lunch Box

I think these are the best Android Apps. Some of these are useful for kid's education and learning also.

My own son, who is of one and half years, loves to play with talking friends and Real Piano. Talking Tom is his best friend. I feel he is getting improvement in his sounds and vocabulary while playing with talking Tom. Other than this he likes to play Piano or Guitar on his uncle’s cell phone. Particularly, in the load shedding hours (my country is now suffering from bad energy crises, we have to face 16-18 hours load shedding), these games becomes a blessing for me.  

You can try these Apps for your kids also. 

Note: What is your kid’s best App? please do share in the comments.

Work online for Moms at Home

 As in the previous post, I tried to tell that How and Why some Moms have to leave the job and try to do something at home. Some women start some small businesses like stitching and sewing, Baby sitter, or something else like this. But, today most of them prefer to do some work online according to their ability.

Now the question is " What to do?" and "From where to start?"  Because many sites that offer work online are scams.

You need some trustworthy place to work. If you are looking for some type of online job then freelance sites are the best source. but be aware all freelance sites are not trustworthy. If you want to be a freelancer, the best sites are:

Upwork

Scriptlance and

Freelancer.com

These are the best sites for you if you want to work as a freelancer. You can work here according to your own schedule.  It takes some time to fetch the first job on these sites but when fetch your first job and done it successfully. Then you might be awarded some positive feedback and then it will start your success on these sites.

Other than freelancing, there are more options for at-home moms, such as surveys. If you are living in some developed country, e.g U.S, U.K, you can join a network which offers online surveys. A survey usually takes 20-30 minutes to respond and you awarded $2-$15 for each survey.

Other than this there are more options such as captcha filling and PTC sites. But, I am not in favor of this type of work as it is basically illegal. And courtly we should follow the rules.

According to my opinion, your own site or blog is the best plate form for you.

Working Moms

Everyone wants to be independent. Today most of the young and energetic women are doing some job or business. But when they got married and have babies, it becomes quite difficult for women to continue their with their little kids. Therefore, many have say goodbye to their jobs and some of them continue their jobs and business as usual.

many of working moms face problems regarding their kids and jobs, because kids are really a full time job. Therefore it becomes so hard to balance the family needs and jobs. I salute those mothers who do such hard work. And the mothers who are not doing jobs or have left their jobs, I also solute them, because they sacrifice their carriers for sake of their little kids. Now, there are two types of mothers, 1st, are the mothers who have no one at home to take care their kids or are deprived of day care centers facility and 2nd, are the mothers who want to grow up their kids in their own supervision, because of their deep attachment to the kids.

 In our rural areas I have seen many mothers who were working in the fields, having their babies at their backs. They also perform all domestic tasks by themselves and have to serve their male companions ( husband, brothers, fathers, sons) too, as, our society is a pure male dominating society. So the working mothers that belong to my society have to suffer twice than that mother who are spending their lives in a developed and groom,ed society. 

In short, we should solute all working moms who have to perform double duty as compare to an ordinary at home mom.

Eating Problems

-->

Today I am writing this post because of an incident that happened a few moments ago. I was working on my P.C, and my little son was playing with my husband. He thought the child is might be hungry. So, he took some pieces of hickory nuts and started to give to Ashhal(my son). Ashhal will be of two years in May 2013. Anyway, when Ashhal started eating those nuts, the next moment was horrible for him. Because he was trying his best to swallow the nuts but he could not and what was next? You can imagine, the, next thing was bad vomiting, that was coming out not only from mouth but nose also, even he was unable to breathe properly. He was too much terrified. And denied to take anything like water or milk.
I became so embarrassed in this situation. Now, he is sleeping and looking so cute and innocent. I want to save you from such type of situation. Do not feed your little kids on hard stuff  or big bites. Always feed the kids on soft food and take them food in very small pieces or small bites that would be easy to injest for them.  -->

Online Games for kids.

Kids always love to play games. There are thousands of games are available on different websites. Some sites offer to play online and some are downloadable. Now it is up to the gamer, how he wants to play?  and what he wants to play? Because, there are many types of games, such as games for fun, learning games, games having campaigns and adventures etc.

I have seen many kids who become addicted to these games. Now when you are going to allow your kid to play the game in your spare time, you must have to make a schedule for your child. Because access to everything is bad. The excessive use of online games is harmful to the eyes and physical growth of your child. And kids do not take much interest in other tasks. Therefore, I would suggest that there should be a proper schedule in which you decide how many hours a child should spend playing games and what type of games he should play. Suppose, one hour for funny games, one for learning games, one for intellectual activity, etc. It would be fruitful for your kids and you too.
