Some parents get too much protective and get their children deprive of common things, activities and fun that other children in the same society enjoy.

Whenever they want to tell you something even it is fool for you but listen them with full attention and show interest in their gossip. Make them feel that it is important what they talking or trying to tell. Appreciate their efforts to do anything, encourage their ideas and try to apply what they suggest you.

Folic Acid Deficiencies

 

Folic acid is one of the important ingredients that work for blood.  It is a well-known ingredient. The deficiency of folic acid causes anemia because folic acid helps the body to produce new cells. Especially for red blood cells, a suitable proportion of folic is required. If you or your child is suffering from high-level deficiency of folic acid then you need to overcome it by using particular supplements. While using folic acid supplements keep in your mind that must take the advice of an expert before getting started because an overdose can increase the risk of prostate and lung cancer. In the same way, an overdose of folic acid is also risky for heart patients and for those who don’t have stable blood pressure.

So, in short, move to the medication and folic supplements according to an expert’s advice as it can be risky and harmful for your health issues. So try your best to control your folic acid deficiency with foods that are rich in folic acid.

And if there is a minor deficiency of folic acid then you do not need medication or supplements in any way you can simply fulfill it with foods rich in folic acid. Especially, pregnant women badly need to use folic acid to save the babies from birth defects. Many babies die before their first birthday because of birth defects and 90% of those birth defects are caused by the deficiency of folic acid in mothers. Even many of these babies get expired in the first month of their life. So, if an expecting mother successfully maintains the level of folic acid during the first three months of her pregnancy then they can save their babies from the highly risked birth defects of the brain and spine.

Folic Acid Foods:

There are many types of foods available that can help to maintain the level of folic acid in your body. These foods not only help in improving the folic acid level in your body but these foods can help you to avoid the risk of folic acid deficiency.

·        Orange is a fruit that possesses a high amount of folate or folic acid. Just taking one orange a day can fulfill ten percent of the daily requirement. In the same way, a glass full of orange juice can contribute more.

·        Broccoli and Brussels sprouts are also very rich in folic acid and add a handsome amount of folic acid in your body.

·        Leafy green vegetables are also a good source of folic acid.

·        Beans, peas and lentils can supply a good amount of folic acid to your body.    

·        Chick pea and kidney beans have a good amount of folic acid.

·        Fortified foods like bread, cereals, and pasta also contain a good amount of folic acid.

These are the main foods that can provide an appropriate amount of folic acid to your body. As you can see, these are different types of food with a variety of tastes. You can make a diet chart in which you can choose what to take, when to take and how to take these folic acid-rich foods so that you can get the required amount with a combination of other useful ingredients.

For example, Orange and lemon are very rich in folic acid also contain other important nutrients that are also the need of your body. In the same way, leafy green vegetables are not only rich in folic acids but also have other vitamins as well. So, you can consume these folic acid foods according to your choice of taste.

Tips for the improvement of kid's writing skills

Writing is an essential skill. Writing does not mean putting the words on a blank sheet but it involves developing your child's creative skills as well as communication skills that play an important role in your child's life. Parents can develop their child's writing skills by indulging them in writing activities that are simple and fun. There are some tips and activities that can help the parents to promote the writing skills of children at home.

 Sending Message - you can write a note on the things he loves or use such as desk, tabs, pillows, favorite toy, etc. Of course, your child will write a note in return or will try to
write. A family notice-board can also prove a great tool to encourage your child to write. 

 Letters - Encourage your kids to write letters; even informal, to friends and family 

Family-Book - keep the record of your family history and life story. All family members can add their life stories to the Family-Book. State important events and memories of the year that is passing. At the start of the new year sit together and read your family-book with your children with joy and fun. And get ready for the next edition of the family book. 

 Cards Making: You can encourage your kids to create and design different types of cards for different occasions. For example, they can create wish cards, gift cards, postcards, invitation cards, apologies cards, etc. Encourage them to express their feelings in their own way. Card making helps them to develop their thinking skills and behavior skills as well. 

 Make a Menu - It's another interesting activity for your child. Ask your kids to design the menu for some special event or even for family dinner. In this way, they will not only improve their vocabulary but also learn to list and describe things.  

There are many ways to improve the writing skills of kids. Whenever you feel they will run short of vocabulary then write the difficult or new words for them on a  separate paper.

 Remember that the important thing for parents is to focus on the content instead of grammar and other details of the child’s writing. When a child begins to write, he/she runs the risk of receiving criticism. parents have the responsibility of encouraging their kids to continue.  Helping your kids to put thoughts into words gives them a great sense of accomplishment. 

How many hours of sleep do your kids need?

All living beings need rest and sleep. Sleep plays an important role in the growth and development of children of all ages. It is considered a primary activity of the brain during the early stages of development. Everyone has an asleep and awake cycle, so the kids also have an awake and sleep cycle. these cycles are followed by the lights and dark in the environment. These cycles work like rhythms. 

Newborn babies in their early stages (up to 3 months after their birth) of life have no sleeping and awakening cycles. After two months of birth, their brain starts to regulate the sleep cycle. The little babies spent most of their time in sleep. Sleep is very important for their mental as well as physical health. 

Another important factor that disturbs the baby's sleep in her early days, is her feeding requirements. younger babies have very fast digestive systems that's why they need to be fed in very short intervals; every two hours they need feed. Even during their sleep they seem to be restless and move their arms and legs etc. 

When a baby reaches six months, she does not require more feedings at night time and can sleep throughout the night without any break. As babies grow older their sleeping time decreases and they become more active with their growing age. Therefore, toddlers have 10-11 hours of sleep at night. Sometimes, toddlers resist getting asleep and sleep late o the schedule. In the same way, preschool children also need up to 11 hours of sound sleep but usually, they resist going to bed in time because of other activities like
watching TV, playing digital games, and using other media. But as a parent, you cannot ignore the need for sound sleep for growing kids because they can fall into anxiety and other mental disorders due to insufficient sleep. 

Parents should try their best to provide their kids all necessary things including their own time, to fulfill the requirements of their sleep. younger babies and kids are easy to handle. You can easily motivate them to fall asleep by putting them into comfortable beds, telling them stories and by keeping the room dark, etc.

Anemia A big Problem for Growing Children

It is a common disorder that is observed in kids. It reduces the number of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of the body. Therefore, the blood in an anemic body has less ability to carry the oxygen.

Short breath, weakness, laziness, and tiredness are the common symptoms of anemia. But when it becomes stronger the patient seems to be going to expire and pale like a person on last breath. The extensive thirst is also observed in anemic persons.

Types of Anemia:

There are three types of anemia;

• Caused by the decreased production of red blood cells.
• Caused due to blood loss.
• Caused by the extensive breakdown of red blood cells.

Each type has different reasons for disease. 

Lower production of red blood cells:

The basic reason for the lower production rate of red blood cells is the deficiency of iron that is observed in each 3rd child in 100. Other than this, the deficiency of Vitamin B12 also causes the lower production of red blood cells.

Blood Loss:

It can be caused due to trauma and gastrointestinal bleeding. These are the main causes of blood loss that lead to anemia.

Breakdown of red blood cells:

The breakdown of red blood cells can be caused by an infection in the blood. Therefore, it includes the size of red blood cells and the amount of oxygen in them.

Anemia is common among infants, pregnant women, and toddlers. Therefore, the parents should be careful about the diet of kids. They should use food containing iron and vitamin C. VitaminC increase the ability to absorption of iron. 

In short, whenever you feel your child is getting lazy and suffering from a lack of appetite then try to increase the amount of food based on iron and vitamin C.

Diapers and also education pants are usually fine with regard to nap occasion and also sleeping, although should you use them often you can undo-options one's bathroom education development, Fellom affirms.

"If you truly desire this kind of to work, the idea just functions naked, inches Fellom affirms. "There are usually hardly any pants in the house for your 1st 90 days. inches

That said, some mothers and fathers are not at ease with this kind of necessity and find strategies to function about the idea. Look at the comments area in the bottom of this post because of their tips.

Exactly what you will require for your bathroom education weekend

You'll need a standalone bathroom chair to utilize at your home (ideally one for any major region whereby you would spend occasion, furthermore just about any bathrooms), an abundance of drinking water or maybe diluted drink to help beverage, and also appetizers in which encourage peeing (either salty people that will make a person thirsty, like crackers, or maybe foods together with high drinking water information like watermelon and also Popsicles).

Then of course you'll want items with regard to cleaning incidents (such as rags, clean-up alternative, plus a plastic material bucket) and some pairs involving loose-fitting pants for your little one to help don whenever you are away from home.

Suggested: It really is useful to experience a streamlined, transportable vacation bathroom to carry and also concerning, even though you could utilize a smaller standalone bathroom lounge chair alternatively.

You might fit a smaller hand towel or maybe an absorbent mat around your car couch to protect against incidents. A few mothers and fathers work with solutions including the Piddle Sleeping pad, although Fellom recommends a smaller sheepskin which you may locate at low-cost pieces of furniture merchants. Reduce the actual sheepskin by 50 %, then slice the idea to fit around the car seat connectors and also buckle, and also you'll find a very absorbent, washable, reusable mat.

Lastly, whether or not it's wintry where you live, you may want to have got area heating units readily available, as well as knee socks or maybe leg warmers for your little one to help don and so he will continue to be comfy while he's bare-bottomed at your home.
