2010 World Cup football in South Africa and the school holidays
Any other people out there who don’t really enjoy football – or soccer, as many of us here in South Africa call it, and who aren’t too concerned with watching the 2010 world cup in the various cities in South Africa when it all gets under way? Are there other people, especially parents of kids still in our South African schools, out there who would rather have had their school children enjoy their usual six week school holidays than watch the 2010 world cup? Why shorten the school holidays over the festive season of December and January just so that the usual middle of the year winter holiday of three weeks can be extended to five weeks? Why? Because of the world cup. Hm! So, are all our South African school kids and … Read entire article »

Play 10 FREE games online and use 2 to test typing speed
PLAYING FREE GAMES ONLINE I think it’s wonderful that the Internet has some websites that have free games for children to play online. I’ve just finished the coding for a new page on my website about free online games entitled Play FREE games online where I discuss some ideas regarding these games being used as gifts or part of gifts to save parents a little money. I also link to ten free online games that parents can let their children play online. I have written a brief description of each free game and have played the free games myself too. I found it fun, as a parent, testing the games myself to make sure I think they’re okay for my children to play. I advise that parents always check computer games that their children are … Read entire article »

How to help your child cope with doing a school project on his own
Don’t you get tired of helping your child get his written project completed in time, and not just completed in time, but making sure that the project is actually good too? School projects can be a pain, and what all parents dread, but it doesn’t have to be so stressful. You may have to help your child through his first few school projects, but there is no reason to keep on helping him if you use a plan that can be applied to all written projects, no matter what the topic is. A good plan will reduce stress for the parent and free up time for the parent, will help the child learn how to cope with doing a project with no help from his mother or father at all, and will … Read entire article »

School homework is stressful for parents and children
Homework time can be a dreadful time for everybody in a family. As a parent, do you sometimes find yourself breathing a sigh of relief when school homework for the night is done, and the kids are tucked up for a good night’s rest – that could have been a longer rest had they finished their school work earlier? As you relax, you suddenly realise how tense your shoulders and neck were during the session of homework your child was doing, and how sore your body still feels. You are exhausted. You are not alone. Children should not be getting stressed over homework, but they are. There’s so much that they have to hand in on certain dates, and it often feels that they are never given enough notice, but that … Read entire article »

Children at school are getting so much homework!
Even primary school children are getting plenty of homework. I can only expect the amount of homework that school children receive to increase even more in high school. My sons are aged 10 and 11 and go to a public school in East London, South Africa. The amount of homework they are receiving in this fourth school term is unbelievable. It has also been quite a lot in the second term, but generally the first and third terms are a little easier on the parents and children, and I suspect on the teachers too. I wish the amount of projects and orals that are expected to be handed in or delivered over a year could be spread out a little more, but understanding that teachers follow a certain curriculum, and cannot hand … Read entire article »

A mother always worries about her child
A mother always worries about her child Well, I do anyway. Parenting is a serious business, but worrying makes parents serious! You know how you feel when you’re sure something is wrong with your child and you’re not getting the answers you want from your doctor? People may call you a worry-wart and say that you’re over-reacting or worrying for nothing, but kids are our precious precious gifts and we want them safe and sound at all times, fit and healthy. It’s sometimes scary loving them so much. Worrying can drive a mommy mad, and it’s best to eliminate all possible causes before we can be at ease and just concentrate on parenting and enjoying time with our children. It’s awful when doctors say “all kids have this right now” etc, and you … Read entire article »

Swine Flu in East London South Africa causes many children to miss school
The local newspaper in East London, the Daily Dispatch, has a blog and I’ve left a comment on an excellent post there, regarding my own children’s experience with swine flu, at this link: Read the Daily Dispatch blog post about Swine Flu and how it is affecting the schools and children in East London. There are many comments from troubled parents in East London as well as their views on swine flu and on the anti viral drug treatment tamiflu. It seems most people are steering clear of tamiflu, and opting for familiar flu and bronchitis antibiotics instead. Some people are convinced swine flu is a scam of some sort, but whether it is or not, it’s still concerning that so many people have flu symptoms in East London – and all … Read entire article »

Sibling Rivalry Isn’t Fair
It’s not fair to parents! You pull your own hair out, while watching your two children rolling around on the grass, pulling each other’s hair out? Your head is aching and your ears are ringing with: “You sat in the front of the car yesterday! You can’t sit there again today!” “I can, I’m the eldest!” “It’s not fair! What about me?” “You did homework with mom first, three nights in a row! THAT’S not fair!” “It IS fair; I’m younger … Read entire article »

Teach Your Child
STOP! Stop doing what you are doing. Stop chatting with your friend. Stop preparing a meal. Stop reading that book. Stop watching telelvision. Stop saying “Later……..” When your child shows interest in something in his or her environment, or in something you are doing or saying, STOP! And teach. Young minds are capable of taking in so much information, why would you let it all go to waste? You don’t have to go out and buy all the latest … Read entire article »

Is your friend a ‘Good Guy’?
We all have memories of our childhood, some great memories of fun and play, some good memories that are a little vague, but have nevertheless stayed with us, and then we have those not so cool memories. These include getting into trouble at home or school, for any of a variety of reasons. Surely, somewhere along the line we all had a friend our parents did not approve of, yet we would persist in hanging out with them. The sad part is that often our parents were right about the friend, and we would go to school to hear that so-and-so had been caught driving drunk, selling drugs, or caught shop-lifting. Sometimes, our parents had the person all wrong, and years down the line, when looking at the progress their children … Read entire article »
