When traveling with the family, it is fun. If you are traveling by air it gets to be pretty expensive. If you have smaller children most likely you will have an infant or child that has to be in your lap. To keep the baby under 2 on your lap, most airlines are charging ,about 10% of the ticket. It was also reported from a source that a fee for oxygen mask were being taken. Why would you charge for oxygen masks? It seems that the price that we already payed for airline tickets would cover this. While most babies fly free domestically, it is standard for international flights to maybe charge at least 10% according to Mike Fredrico of fare compare.com. Maybe this could be the next way the airlines are looking to make more money?

What To do If Your child Has Head Lice.

Parents, if you have a child between the ages of 3 to 11 years of age , the problem of head lice may pose a problem. That's the age span when most are often infected by those pesky parasitic insects. These insects are often transferred by someone who, has head lice and spreads them by sharing combs, hats etc. Head lice are a common problem . It is estimated that 12 million to 20 million people are infested each year in the United States alone. Wondering what are head lice ? Head lice are tiny insects with claws that grab at your hair shaft. Head lice are usually found near the scalp in children's hair as well as some adults. These insects, can dwell around the eyebrows and eyelashes . Head lice do bite and it causes an allergic reaction such as itching. The eggs of head lice , called nits, are found mostly at the hair shaft often mistaken as dandruff. As nits , grow into head lice the take on the size of a small grain mainly, a sesame seed. Did you know by feeding on human blood head lice can live up to a month on your head , especially a child. They tend to die off in about 2 days after falling off of a person. How are head lice spread? Head lice are passed from person to person , clothing. Children often share things and the infected child will pass it on. It's almost like catching a cold . You can prevent your child from catching head lice by educating your child not to share clothing,combs,or other objects such as towels,brushes,stuffed animals, pillows. Check your child each day for any unusual scratching near the head. Wash your child's hair every week if possible. Children love to play in the playground and there are all kinds of germs and pesky insects lurking about. So after your is finish playing outdoor that is the best time to check.

Helping your child believe in themselves!

Helping our children believe in themselves is a tough job. Most kids tend to follow others who don't display good manners. There are some who can and will display good behavior's . Children who watch a lot of television , often watch shows that are not good for them to watch. We have to spend time with our kids. Let's turn off the T.V. for once and grab a book. Encourage your child to read . Have them tell you what they just read and to explain it in detail. This stimulates the brain and your kid will be happy to share this info with you. Kids , love to be read to. A whole new world unfolds for them. I from the ole' school. We did not have all these gadgets that they have now. We would play jacks,hopscotch,double dutch. All those games that involved a group of our friends. Anybody, could play and join in on the fun. Dodge ball was another great game as well as hide and go seek. These days, kids are lazy . They don't know about these games. They know a lot about other things that are really not that important. Let's talk to our kids and show them how to be children again and not to grow up so fast. They can be anything they want to be. It will take some hard work and determination and self discipline. Most of all , our love and prayers !

Children usually mock what they see and hear what you do. Be careful, your little one may blurp out something that you dont want to hear. I have had this happen to me before. Very Embrassing I might say. Children like to take things out of your purse . So dont carry any pens or objects that you dont want your child to get . give your baby a shoe box and let him place some of his toys in them. Most 10 to 12 month babys love to play games and explore and pour things from one to another.You can use stackable measuring cups and a large container and have a wonderful play time. now that little manny is walking , you can teach him how to roll the ball or how to kick it. Try showing him and he will follow along and you'll be surprised at how he masters this skill. playing peek-a-boo is the all time favorite. Children love it when you hide your face and then surprise . They get a kick out of that. Bathing time.. If your baby loves to play in the water be careful , most babys if they can stand tend to stand ! They dont' want to sit that's for the birds. Older babies want to stand up and splash water all over the place , even grap your hair pat the shower curtain (never leave your baby unattended in the bath not even for a second). You want to have fun , not call 911 for heavens sake. Pile up some plastic bottles and toys and watch your baby have a fun filled bath.

The weather is starting to get really hot now and parents we need to be careful in leaving our children in hot vehicle's. 40 Children ,have died in heat related tragedies this year in South Carolina . Children are being left alone in cars in 90 degree weather. We don't know why would someone leave their child in the car by themselves. It just makes no sense. A baby ,or toddler can't watch themselves. You have to thinks about what you are doing. Always take your baby out of the car even if your gonna be gone for a split minute. The state of Tennessee said, they They are checking 500 daycare centers to keep from accidentally locking children in vans.They are looking into this matter. We have seen a few tragedies this year alone. If it is 90 degrees outside , it will take 20 minutes to reach 119degrees and in 30 minutes it will be 124 degrees and in 60 minutes it will become 133 degrees. Parents this is not right have some common sense. Here are some safety tips that can help. 1. Never never ever leave your child in a vehicle by themselves. 2. If you have to stop and pump for gas leave the door unlocked just in case you have to grab your child for safety reasons. 3.Always keep car serviced , make sure air conditioner is working. 4.Keep water and extra cloths for your trip. 5.Always have someone responsible with you if this is feasible.

How to Check For Playground Safety

Parents let's check our playgrounds for safety. Following some basic safety measures can help our children have lots of fun and play safe.When checking out your neighborhood playground, make sure that it has a soft surface under the play equipment. Most playgrounds have , sand, and rubber matting. Check playground equipment before you let your child play on them. If the weather is hot out, so will equipment be hot to touch . This can cause your child to get burned.# Older children should be closely supervised when playing on the equipment from the younger one. Older children tend to be rough and don't care to much about the smaller ones. Children love to swing, swings should be made from soft and flexible material. Look over and make sure that there is no holes in the material. They have different types of swings to accommodate your child. Your child should be able to sit in a swing that has holes to put their legs into. They can use this until they are ready to sit on a standard swing. Teach your child to hold on with both hands. Never have 2 or more on the same swing. Teach your child that he should never run in front of a swing when someone is using it. There have been many accidents that have happened while not watching your child. All children love the seesaw. It's fun going up and down, but sometimes you have that child, that will jump off and have your child fly cross the playground. This also is very dangerous and can put your child in harms way. Make sure that you child has similar weight as the next child .Children love to take their bike's to the park. Does you child know anything about bicycle safety ? Teach them not to ride in the sand , or around broken glass. make sure they have a safety helmet on that is fitted. Also make sure that your children don't wear any jewelry while at play. Their clothing should be fitted properly with any strings loose and attached, this can cause injury if this should get caught in the playground equipment. also make sure that your child has his shoes tied , this will keep him from tripping over himself.

Are You Ready For The New Baby ?

Well the time is drawing near and the baby is on it's way. Are you prepared? There is a lot of preparing to do before baby comes. Most of us are ready and can't wait to see the baby. That new beautiful baby that your carrying. Does he or she look like me, or will it look like my husband? so many thoughts race through your mind. If this is your first baby, you will want to make sure that you have done everything possible to have a healthy baby. Did you go to all your prenatal visits or reschedule any of them. Were you eating the right meals and taking your prenatal vitamins ? These are important steps to a healthy pregnancy. By having good prenatal visits your provider can catch problems early and prevent complications , this is why having good prenatal visits are best. Your provider will also help you decide on which birth control method you can use . also as a reminder always ask your doctor on what pain medication is available for you if you are in need. Childbirth is not pain free only if your on the drugs that your doctor just gave ya. there is some discomfort involved (that's why they have morphine and your mates hand ) But you will be okay your a trooper! I guess that you already had your surprise baby shower. You received a lot of gifts. Things that you really need. You won't be getting to many things for yourself so don't look for anything. It seems like people just forget about you after you have the baby . All gifts are for the baby. I remember when I had my baby shower and no it was not a surprise not with the friends I have. I had fun all the same though . I just got so many things like blankets, bibs, (you can't get enough bibs) diapers, bottles, clothes even shoes. None for me. I was just looking maybe for a pair of bed slippers or a gown to take to the hospital or something but nothing for me. I noticed that someone bought me a new stroller. A new car would be nice. All the same I did say to myself this stuff is for me I don't have to buy any of this stuff boy, was I happy . Did you know that most hospitals offer Lamaze classes. Lamaze is when you have training in the birthing process with breathing and focusing on your contractions. They also show you how to change a baby and feed a baby . These are good classes for you and your mate to go to. Many hospitals do offer tours of the maternity ward. It is best to have this tour and get familiar with the staff and see how things are done. By doing this you won't be alarmed by anything. Having a baby can be a little frightening at times. Make sure when going back for your prenatal visit ,to ask your doctor ,that you would like to know about c-section, how this is done and what is the healing time, and the do's and don'ts. Well are you ready now ? Are your bags packed yet ? Here is a list of things that you can pack for you and your little one or ones(you might be having multiples) I thought I would throw that one in for a laugh then again the jokes on me . Here's the list of items that you will need for your baby's first weeks REAR FACING CAR SEAT CLOTHING: 3-4 DOZEN DISPOSABLE DIAPERS AND DON'T FORGET THE WIPES 4-6 SHIRTS,SLEEPERS,AND GOWNS,HAT , MITTENS(THEY SCRATCH THEMSELVES AND THE LOOK LIKE THEY GOT INTO A CAT FIGHT GET IT ) AND WEATHER APPROPRIATE CLOTHING. BEDDING: CRIB OR BASSINET( LET ME TELL YA ABOUT THE BASSINET THEY ARE CUTE BUT YOUR LITTLE ONE GROW SO FAST THAT THEY MIGHT BE IN IT FOR A DAY OR TWO ) 4 OR 5 SOFT BLANKETS AND SHEETS BATHING 2-3 TOWELS 4 OR MORE WASH CLOTHS (20 OR MORE IF NOT USING WIPES) BABY SOAP COTTON SWABS OF BALLS AND OF COURSE RUBBING ALCOHOL FOR CORD CARE YOU CAN ALSO GET A FIRST AID KIT WITH ALL THE BABY MEDICATIONS IN IT .
