Ways to Incorporate Exercise in Children's Daily Routines

Did you ever stop to watch people who are fit and healthy? They move around a lot because it is a habit. The same thing applies to those who are relatively sedentary. They don't move around much because it is a habit formed at some point in their past. Thus, a parent can make fitness and good health a lifelong habit for their kids, and the best way to do this is to find ways of incorporating exercise into their daily routines.

Understanding Ages

Children under the age of six will need different tactics than kids over that age, and teens may need to be fooled into getting up and moving if it has not yet become a daily habit. This means you want to understand the best approaches to use during the different developmental stages.

We break them down into some very obvious age groups:

·         Five and under

·         Six to eight

·         Nine to eleven

·         Twelve to fourteen

·         Fifteen and up

Before we look at the individual groupings, however, let's consider some sound advice from pediatric experts. For instance, most say that kids should not use sports as their only form of exercise. Instead such activities should be seen as supplemental. Why? It has to do with the psychology of the matter. When kids associate exercise with competition it can create a negative feeling about activities of many kinds. Rather than running such a risk, it is best to encourage kids to enjoy free play time and to engage in sporting events in addition to their regular exercise.

Thus, you as a parent have to get out and play with your kids! Make sure you spend thirty minutes per day doing something physical with the family, and make it a habit not a chore or a "must do". Suggestions include yard work, house chores, taking a walk, running the dogs, etc. Just make sure it is fun and rewarding for all and you have laid the foundation for a lifetime of fitness.

Under Five

Kids under the age of five need to play. They must never be pushed into competitive sports at such an early stage. This is why you can encourage them to do things such as soccer, football, and baseball, but only to have fun with others. Rather than focusing on sports oriented skills it is always better to help them with developmental matters.

Swimming, as an example, really helps kids with breath control and motor coordination. You can also do such things as early movement and dance, or simply have your toddlers help you in the yard with raking, gardening, or kicking around a ball!

Six to Eight

This is a remarkable age and you will watch in wonder as your six year-old seems to master many bodily movements seemingly overnight. This is a period of time in which you can safely introduce sports and competition.  Do stick with the advice about sports as a supplemental activity though because there are many examples of long term injuries sustained in the form of stress fractures due to sporting injuries.

Kids are really in a developmental period here so give them a chance to use all kinds of muscles. Dancing, swimming, soccer, baseball, hiking, and even stretching and floor exercises are just fine. The wider the variety, the better the results.

Nine to Eleven

By this time you will know if your child is a "natural" in terms of a particular sport. This is the period in which future soccer champs emerge and when runners show their first interests. This is also an age when it is safe to encourage the child's competitive edge because it will no longer contradict their need for skill development.

Twelve to Fourteen

This is a period similar to the previous one. Kids have to be mindful of "overdoing it". If they have gone through puberty they can follow the "Fifteen and Older" guidelines. If not, they should remain at the "Nine to Eleven" standards.

Fifteen and Older

If puberty has already hit, this child can do the same sorts of exercise as an adult. The only thing to monitor is nutritional intake. They are still growing and need to keep up calories and nutrients.

Daily exercise is ideal when partnered with sports, but be mindful of how it is done. Following these steps and tips will ensure that fitness is a habit your child keeps throughout life.

Top 8 Golden Tips for Creating Professionally Designed E Cards for Your Boss

The festive season is coming and it’s time to start thinking cards. If you’re planning on sending Ecards from Katies Cards to your boss, there are a few things you need to think about. Here are the top 8 golden tips for getting it right.

1: Pick a professionally designed eCard, one that really looks good. After all, if you’re trying to impress the boss then putting your best foot forward is hardly going to hurt! Take your time, browse what’s available and try to pick something really slick.

2: If you’re looking for eCards from Katies Cards, you can search by category, so use the category search to make things easier. You may even find a special section for cards for your boss, or for Boss’s Day – a relatively new festival designed to make management feel good about themselves!

3: Be sure you know something about your boss’s personality. If you don’t, try to find out – or pick a card that has neutral connotation. Also try to understand how the different types of card may affect your boss – if you’re unsure, don’t send.

4: Take some time to consider the message you will send with the card. When you send ecards from Katies Cards you get the option to personalise them with text of your own. The written word, even when it’s taken in conjunction with images and music, can be easy to misconstrue. So take the time to get it right.

5: Don’t send your boss the same card you sent to everyone else. Send your boss a card on its own, and send it at a different time to the round robin ecard you do for your other colleagues.

6: Be aware that your boss is a busy person, with important things to do. If he or she doesn’t thank you immediately don’t think you have been forgotten. Under no circumstances should you approach the boss to ask her or him if he or she has received your card.

7: Pick ecards from Katies Cards that are appropriate to the season. Festive cards for the festive season, or ones appropriate to the station of the manager.

8: Think about how much noise your ecard may make. Ecards come with music, which plays automatically we they are opened. It is a good idea either to find an ecard with a mute option, or to be careful about the time you send yours. The last thing you want is to interrupt an important meeting with a singing cat.

When you pick ecards from Katies Cards you get a wealth of choice. There are cards appropriate for most occasions and for most relationships.

Picking a card to send to your boss is fraught with a number of pitfalls – including the fact that your professional relationship usually precludes any real personal knowledge about what he or she might like. When you look at Ecards from Katies Cards be sure to try and understand what the most appropriate ones for your boss might be.

Silver Men for a Cause

During the traffic jam on a main street in Bandung city (West Java, Indonesia), I saw several silver men at a few spots. They all brought cardboard boxes mentioned only “Care for the Orphan” and came nearing many drivers to collect fund.  

 I didn’t know who they were and if it’s a fund raising program, I didn’t know what the exact purpose was. At least their appearances attracted many people on the street :)

This pic has no blue touch, but I want to share his funny face expression :)

A Long-Nosed Monkey

We call this kind of monkey Bekantan; also known as proboscis monkey. I captured a female bekantan alone in her cage (Ragunan Zoo, Jakarta, Indonesia). I couldn’t make a clear shot as I took a picture through a thick blurry glass.

 The male bekantan’s nose can reach 7 inches in length. The female ones also have big noses –compared to other kind of monkey- but not as large as the males. One of the biggest populations can be found in the Danau Sentarum National Park, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. Amazing species that should be protected from being extinction!
