yes, it is EPHYRA!

Akhirnya dah jumpa collagen yg sesuai untuk saya and it is EPHYRA!
yey!

Susah okeh nak jumpa collagen yang sesuai dengan kulit kita, sesuai dgn budget and sesuai dengan tekak.

Saya tak mungkin nak minum something yg smelly. Air soya pun tak minum okeh. Tapi Ephyra ni sedap jugak. Yang penting boleh telan ye.

and since I've tried it, and I truly love it, maka di sini nak buat announcement yg saya kini ialah reseller sah untuk EPHYRA product together with my other babies; Tanamera, Amway, Shaklee & Nona Roguy :)

Memang la Shaklee ada collagen sendiri, but as I said before, bukan semua collagen sesuai dengan keperluan kita. Besides, this Ephyra is quite cheap.

Promo price kami cuma...
RM180 for 30 sachet + FREE DELIVERY!

As for Shaklee collagen, mungkin ramai yang sesuai dengannya but maybe not for me. Saya tak boleh telan Shaklee collagen and I think the price is quite expensive. RM298 for 15 sachet. hmm hmm.

 

And tak perlu risau sebab Ephyra ni sesuai utntuk ibu-ibu yang menyusu badan ye.

Seperti produk lain di CHARMS & COLORS, Ephyra dijamin halal dan dijamin 100% original.

choose your F.R.I.E.N.D.S wisely

yes, I totally agree with this.

you definitely have to choose your friends wisely.
sepanjang kehidupan yang hampir tigapuluhdua ini, benda yg paling banyak saya belajar ialah :
The one who is talking to you about me today is likely to talk to others about you tomorrow. So, choose your friends wisely.

seriously okeh.
I don't have many friends. Especially ketika zaman bekerja ini, sangat-sangat susah untuk mendapat kawan yang ada ketika susah dan senang. But I have some good colleagues around me. Not many though. Yang sibuk bercerita-mengutuk-mengata-bermulut-manis di belakang memang sangat ramai la kan. That's why, again, you have to choose your friends wisely.

I read lots of great articles lately and I couldn't resist not to share it with you here. sila la baca ya.

Pilih Kawan Anda dan Berkawan Dengan Orang Yang Betul

Sewaktu kita di sekolah, cikgu sering mengingatkan kita mengenai “pengaruh rakan sebaya”. Kata cikgu, inilah penyebab seseorang pelajar itu berjaya atau tidak. Kerana kawan adalah pengaruh yang paling kuat terhadap seseorang individu.

Apa saja penyebab seseorang pelajar itu berjaya – “pengaruh rakan sebaya”. Apa saja penyebab seseorang pelajar itu gagal – “pengaruh rakan sebaya”

Namun apabila umur kita semakin meningkat naik, kita tidak lagi memikirkan hal ini. Kita hanya berkawan dengan sesiapa yang kita rasa selesa dan seronok berkawan. Jadi cara kita menerima seseorang itu masuk dalam hidup kita adalah bergantung kepada apa perasaan kita terhadap orang itu.

Nasihat di Dinding sebuah sekolah di Adjumani, Uganda

Namun, perasaan seperti ini kekadang boleh memesongkan kita. Kita mungkin lebih suka berkawan dengan orang yang lebih miskin dari kita, lebih bodoh dari kita, lebih lembab dari kita. Dengan rakan-rakan seperti ini, anda akan merasa diri anda lebih baik dan dengan itu anda akan merasa selesa. Adakah anda akan berkembang maju dengan berkawan dengan rakan-rakan sebegini ?

Seperti yang saya tulis semalam mengenai awasi apa yang masuk dalam otak anda, begitu jugalah dengan ini. Anda seharusnya mengawasi dengan siapa anda berkawan. Ini adalah kerana, apabila 2 orang bertemu, mereka akan saling mempengaruhi sesama sendiri secara sedar atau tidak sedar. Walaupun mereka berdua ini tidak bercakap atau bertegur sapa, mereka tetap akan mempengaruhi sesama sendiri walaupun sedikit.

Jadi awasi dengan siapa anda bertemu, dan awasi sesiapa yang anda pilih menjadi rakan anda.

Sebagai usahawan, perkara paling penting adalah anda perlu berkawan dengan usahawan. Elakkan berkawan dengan orang makan gaji yang tidak mempunyai cita-cita menjadi usahawan. Orang seperti ini akan menjatuhkan anda sedikit demi sedikit. Setelah terperangkap dengan mereka anda tidak boleh keluar dari perangkap ini. Mereka sangat berpengalaman dengan ini.

Cuba anda kaji apa yang dibincangkan oleh usahawan sewaktu bertemu sesama sendiri dan apa pula yang dibincangkan oleh orang makan gaji sewaktu bertemu sesama sendiri.

Melalui kajian saya, orang makan gaji akan bercakap mengenai keburukan bos mereka, masalah rakan kerja di pejabat, masalah politik pejabat mereka. Mereka akan ceritakan kepada anda secara panjang lebar masalah ini. Dan mereka akan mengakhiri perbincangan ini tanpa sebagai penyelesaian.

Saya secara peribadi kurang selesa, apabila sesuatu masalah yang diceritakan diakhirkan tanpa sebarang penyelesaian. Sepatutnya, semua masalah yang dicakapkan perlu ada penyelesaian, paling tidak penyelesaian untuk mengurangkan masalah tersebut.

Manakala, apabila bertemu usahawan samada yang kecil atau besar, perbincangan mereka lebih terarah kerana menyelesaiakan sesuatu masalah. Mereka akan ceritakan sesuatu masalah dan sama-sama cari jalan selesai. Jika tidak dijumpai, itu lain cerita. Sekurang-kurangnya kita sudah berusaha untuk mencari jalan penyelesaian.

Jadi, dengan siapa kita berkawan akan menentukan dengan siapa kita berdiskusi. Dengan siapa kita berdiskusi akan menentukan ke arah mana otak kita berfikir, pemikiran kita pula akan menentukan tindakan kita sehari-hari, dan tidakan ini akan menentukan realiti kita.

Saya secara peribadi suka berkawan dengan orang-orang yang berjaya dalam bidang lain. Dengan ini saya akan menerima aura positif dari mereka. Selain itu, saya juga akan belajar perkara-perkara baru dalam bidang lain daripada orang yang berjaya.

Sebagai kesimpulan, untuk berjaya, pilih rakan-rakan yang positif, untuk berniaga, letakkan diri anda dikalangan peniaga. Anda tidak perlu rasa bersalah untuk tidak berkawan dengan seseorang yang negatif, suka merungut dan gagal.

terima kasih

overwhelmingly happy!

I love this blog design.
coz it feels like me inside out.
tapi macam kena tukar theme baru.
sebab macam dah terlalu lama dengan yang ini.

and it doesn't look quite professional either.
with me having CHARMS & COLORS and Cheezylicious Cakes di kiri dan kanan.

but who needs professional anyway?

I love this blog for what it is.
and blog ini bukan officially my business blog pun.
Ia blog personal yg bermula dengan cerita-cerita kami dari zaman bujang dulu sehingga beranak dua ineh.

macam sayang je kan kalau mahu jadikan ia nampak professional.
tanpa cerita-cerita mengarut macam zaman dulu-dulu.

oh by the way, bulan ini adalah bulan gembira.
I started fresh on everything.
enhancing the business, new way of handling the stock take, customer record, everything.
kan sebelum ni segalanya manual.
tapi bila sales mencecah puluhan ribu setiap bulan, manual adalah sangat tak efisyen.

lots of people been asking me, how did I start? why? when?
seriously I don't know what's the answer.
I'm not even a business minded person.
I don't study marketing, accounts.
mind me, I used to be an Accounts Executive but to tell you the truth, I've never really like accounts in my whole life.
sangat dibenci okeh.
hoho.

and I don't really like to sell things.
I'm just doing things that I love.

I love to talk about kids.
I love to shop branded and beautiful things.
I love to advise people what is the best product, the cheapest one, the best brand on earth, things that works well with me, and I love creative things, designing and all.

Sebab itu wujudnya CHARMS & COLORS, the love of my life other than encik Hubby, Danish & Aaira :)

and another new project coming soon within this month.
we did well last time and I pray it goes as well this time.
Insya allah :)

and kelmarin, baru mendapat berita untuk transfer ke Central.
oh my... this is what I've been praying for all this while. to get out and get over with this brain-damaging Offshore BU. alhamdulillah...

seriously I can write no more.
I'm sooo overwhelmingly happy!

tempat simpan mainan

we have this Giraffe Rack because of Danish and Aaira.
and it's truly convenient ok!
murah sangat2.
only RM160.00 (8 rack) and RM190.00 (12 rack) at CHARMS & COLORS

yes, walaupun saya adalah seorang yg sukakan rumah berkonsepkan modern contemporary dengan dim lighting, tetapi bila ada anak-anak kecil begini, jangan harap la dapat berdesign bagai. ada pasu bunga atas meja di ruang tamu pun dah cukup elok ok.

konsep rumah sekarang ialah moden + kindergarden berwarna-warni, dengan slide, trampoline, rocking horse, lego, motosikal, patung ultraman, spiderman yg besar gedabak semuaaaa di ruang tamu ye.

and ada wallpaper kanak-kanak comel penuhhh di bilik tidur.
so silalah pasrah.
cuma berharap rumah tak bersepah sangat.
haha T_T

takpe, omak tak berapa nak kesah pun.
yang penting sihat, sempurna, gembira semua, kan?

sebab tu kena ada Girrafe Rack yang boleh simpan semua clutter kecik2 dalam storage dia.
malam-malam sebelum masuk tidur, Danish kena kemas semua elok-elok, kalau tak nanti omak tak bagi naik atas. hihi.

and this is another good thing for you to read.
Motivating toddlers to pick up.

yes.
for me, and you.
...

"My 4 year old son has a room full of toys, and they are all over his floor. No matter what my husband and I try, he just doesn't seem to understand that each toy has a place and that when he's done playing with the toy, it should be returned to that place. What do we try next?"

"Believe it or not, it sounds like there are too many toys. We had the same problem with our son (almost 3) until I bagged up almost all of them and put them in the attic. How he has 6 to 7 major things to play with at a time and he seems to be better focused with less confusion. by doing this we can also rotate his toys when he's tired of the things he has in his room. He seems much happier with this arrangement, and we get more mileage out of all the toys."

"Sounds like too many toys. A 4 year old can't organize that many. Try having a shelf with six spaces - allow six toys to be on display at a time. Rotate the toys on display upon request. New toys can be added only when all the toys are put away."

"My boys, ages 5 and 3 1/2, have no conscience regarding a tidy house, so they, too, require much parental encouragement to put playthings away. Their style of play often involves combining different types of toys at one (Lego + actions figures + costumes + props), so the aftermath can be rather overwhelming. What works well for us is having separate containers for specific toys and shelf space identified for storing these containers as well as larger toys. We have `clean-up time' three times a day (before meals and bedtime) and Dad and Mom assist. Each child is given a specific item to search for and put away (i.e., #1 finds all the blocks, #2 finds all the cars). When the first task is complete, another task is given - they work faster and more successfully if given only one task at a time. Lots of praise and even game playing can make this process enjoyable for all. I wish my children would just clean up without any intervention, but given their ages, temperaments, preferences, and, at times, even the inconsistent modeling of their parents, they need a lot of guidance to be successfully tidy. This is the best training schedule we've come up with so far."

"No child I know will put toys back without parental guidance. When things look to messy I have the kids clean up before going on to any

new activity. I stay with them and give directions when they need it on what to put away next. It's more fun if all of the family is involved and work together. It goes faster too. Kids aren't neat and tidy naturally, but they do like to co-operate and work together when it is a family priority and activity. Remember Mary Poppins and `In Every Job That Must Be Done There Is An Element Of Fun'."

"This a tough one. The only thing that would work for us was explaining that she wouldn't get better without the medicine and that she would have to take it and we needed her co-operation. We'd often have a glass of water to chase it with to get rid of unpleasant aftertastes."

"Have you tried creating specified pickup times, say before lunch, dinner and bed? You will need to join in the fun of finding the `right' place for everything. Each toy is not a separate entity to your child as it is to you. Children need to be able to mix different toys to create their own fun."

"I have found success with keeping the toys visible on open shelves within the child's reach. Be very firm about letting the child know that he is welcome to play with any toy at any time but the rule is one at a time and before the next one comes out the current one must be picked up. The incentive is seeing the toys and wanting to play with them. This may be easier to enforce in the beginning with the shelves being out of reach so the parent has to hand out the toys. Keeping toys organized and pieces co-ordinated is more appealing to the child! They may need help to initiate this idea."

"It's great that you're teaching your son to put things away when he's done. We have a 3 year old who had the same problem. So I explained that I can't always pick up his toys. So we made a game of house work in general. When I do my cleaning, I allow him to help with the little things. (We bought him his own cleaning things.) When we're done, everything gets put away. We always work together. If a toy is out of place, we ask him where it goes, and why was it left out. He always has an answer, but it gets put away. Try working as a team, and play - `Where does this go?' We had much success."

"Does he have a toy box? You could try going to the store, letting him pick out the toy box, and see if he is willing to help then, or do it together each night, make a game out of it, or put away some toys to reduce the number that must be picked up. Also, as a method of discipline, offer choices appropriate for his age."

"Four year old's aren't interested in toys being put away. They are also not capable of cleaning up on their own. Decide when it's important to you that the toys be picked up and then you help also. And stick with those few times - eventually it will sink in even if that isn't until your child has children of their own."

"My son is nearly 3 now, but even at 2 years he learned the consequences of a littered room, as Mom and Dad experimented and found this solution. He has 2 shelves out of reach in his closet. If, after a few "2nd chances" he does not pick up, the toys are put away by us - up high, no longer at his disposal. When he sees them again, he may ask for it and we'll get it down. He may play with it as long as he picks it up properly enough when asked to, or we repeat it. Works well. Some things just stay there like books, puzzles, and games and some things like legos and blocks and lincoln logs come down for periods of time, then he seems to tire of them, can't make himself pick them up, so they get "set up" for awhile. Picking up once a day is plenty often. Sometimes now that isn't even necessary as he keeps most of it in pretty good order, and, after all, he is a small child and an "order" to him is completely different than what it is to adults. Also, sometimes we let things go while something else is more important, should they not occasionally have the same option. Baskets help for small, miscellaneous toys and picking up with our son often makes a task more enjoyable and he joins in with energy."

"We do a clean up time at the end of the day - doesn't matter how much of a mess my daughter makes (kids like to see their toys strewn around!) as long as we clean up together at the end. Following clean-up time there's lots of praise and a snack, & sometimes we put special music on or have `cleaning races.' Toy rotation is helpful too - only keep a few things within your four year old's easy reach at a time, changing them every couple of weeks. This will cut down on the mess."

"He's too young to remember on his own. Pick a few times each day and make pick-up part of your routine - `You pick up while I fix lunch' - and always before bedtime. You may need to help - and be specific in directions, `you pick up puzzle's now and put them on the shelf, and then the blocks'. If you say `pick up all your toys', it may seem like too big a job or too vague for his age."

"I've never been successful at getting children to play with just one toy at a time. But I have tried 2 things that reduce the mess somewhat. One is to keep toys with many pieces (Legos, puzzles, Discovery Pegs, blocks, etc.) in a closet or a place where they need to be asked for. Then make the child put away one kind to get another kind out of the closet. The second idea is that sometimes kids get so disorganized they don't know how or where to start with the cleanup task. So it helps to identify one thing for them to do, like: `put all the stuffed animals on the shelf' or `put all the blocks in the bucket'. Even when they know where things go, they just don't know which to tackle first."

"We've had the same problem with our children, now 5 and 6. We finally went through all their toys and pack away everything but a few of their favorites. We then had different sized storage boxes for their remaining toys, and put things like small building blocks up high where they couldn't get them unless they asked. The rule was that when they were finished playing with them they had to put the toys away or else we would pack them away like the others. Gradually we re-introduced some of the packed away toys, but most of them they didn't even miss. Also, we are now using a behavior chart where they get a star at the end of the day if they cleaned up all their messes. Then there is a reward depending on the number of stars they get at the end of the week."

"You could try explaining to your son that you will have to take all of the toys away, if he doesn't put them away. If that doesn't work, I would actually remove all of the toys. See how he reacts, and explain again what you did. As long as the toys are still physically in his room, you obviously won't get results from what you've tried. But something as drastic as taking them away, might just do the trick."

"I don't think you can expect a 4 year old to always put their toys away, even when asked. The following things have worked with my 4 year old: (1) Pitch in yourself and make it fun with a song, game or a race, (2) Place some toys on a high shelf, only to be retrieved when he picks up one or two other toys, (3) or leave the mess alone for a few days, it really doesn't matter."

"In a child's mind, picking up a toy when he's done playing with it is never as important as figuring out what to play with next! It's as necessary for your son to have his toys all over the floor as it is for you and I to have all the ingredients for a recipe in front of us before we begin mixing cookies. After play is finished, a gentle reminder and mom or dad saying, `Let's pick up together!', usually works. My six year old son is just now starting to understand organization, and how nice it is to be able to find things when he needs them. He is now able to clean up his messes by himself."

"What worked with my son was to explain that the person to put things away would be the one that could play with it. It took several times of my putting things away too high for him to get to. But now when I suggest that he do it himself or at least help me, he moves fast to make sure it gets put away so he can reach it and knows where it is for next time. Nothing is foolproof but this has saved a lot of arguments."

"It sounds like your young son has too many toys to appreciate them. Try taking away all but a few toys and store them somewhere else. Then work with the remaining toys as far as putting them away after play. He may have been overwhelmed at the sight of so many toys to put away! After her has learned to put away the toys he has, reward him by giving another toy, one at a time, that you stored away."

"We started teaching our now 26 month old to pick up after himself when he was one. we perceived that if he was capable of getting toys out he could probably put them away, too. We don't allow him to have more than two toys out at a time (or one if it's a large, messy one such as building blocks). If he refuses to clean up after himself (with our help and guidance) then the toys simply are taken away, until such time as he has proven he can care for his things. This could be one day or 3 weeks, however long it takes. Patience, not anger, is the key for us. If we let him know how upset he can make us, it loses it's effectiveness. However, if we remain calm and just take the toy away, generally he can redeem his self-discipline within a day. Of course, we have to `catch' him being good - Times when he picks up with out being asked or picks up after only one prompt. He is also not allowed to do anything else until the toys are put away. This works very well when he's motivated to change activities. Good luck."

"Kids may benefit from a limited amount of toys: (1) Try removing some (put away in storage for a period of time - when they re-appear it will seem like new toys!). (2) Lower level of expectations - it is difficult for a 4 year old to clean up a room full of toys. (3) Try to clean up at same time as child - by observing you, he may catch on. (4) Use baskets and make a game of throwing toy's into basket. (5) My 4 year old daughter suggests coming to his house to help him pick up!"

"When the toy has not been put away in the proper place - take that specific toy and he can not play with it for 1 hour, day, week, etc.....for however long you feel is just. Do this until he learns that everything even a toy has it's own proper place."

"My 4 year old daughter did the same thing until someone suggested "The Saturday Box" to us. Each night before she goes to bed we check to make sure everything is put away, anything that is out of place, i.e. on the floor, goes into the Saturday Box. On Saturday she is allowed to take 1 toy back from the box (we began with three). Now we rarely have trouble with scattered toys."

"Any kind of `work' or `chore' can be made fun by making it become a game. Give each toy whether a block, a car, or a teddy a name and/or personality. Throughout the day go into you son's room with him and make a comment like; `Oh, poor Mr. Block can't find his home. He'll be sad if he can't go where he belongs.' Have your son put it away then praise him like `Oh, now Mr. Block is happy! Are there any other sad toys that can't find their home?'. And be sure to praise him for the toys who did find their homes without your help. This method worked for me when I was a small child and I still use it when my own housework seems overwhelming or tedious."

"Try more supervision. Each time he goes to a new toy ask that the previous toy be returned and put up."

"Adults can be quite organized and children don't always appreciate that. Children have shorter attention spans and love to play with a variety of toys within a short period of time. Their imaginative minds take them from one toy to another. Rather than fighting a frustrating battle, have specific clean up times during the course of the day (before lunch, before dinner and before bed). A child may not be finished playing with a toy just because he currently isn't playing with it. You wouldn't want to stifle his imagination would you!"

"When playtime is over; i.e. time for lunch, time to go shopping, time for bed, time for whatever - set aside time for clean up. Everybody joins in the clean up - Make a game out of it. Make up a song. This way we have 1 or 2 big clean up's a day - rather than lots of little clean up's. We're using this with our younger sons. They seem to enjoy clean up almost as much as playing with their toys. Our 6 year old is still a little reluctant but better. Also, it is important to examine your attitude toward your clean up. Children often model our behavior."

"Take all the toys away. Each day give him one toy. If he puts it away give him another each day. Reverse it when he doesn't put the toy away."

"You could try a couple of approaches: Just leave the toys on the floor and designate a cleaning day where the whole family helps out. Then, after that do a fun activity that he'd like such as going for an ice cream cone, etc. Another thing to try (after a cleaning) would be to explain to your son that the toys he leaves laying about will be put away until a time when he will put them away (after a reasonable amount of time). Keep only a few toys out and maybe add a few toys at a time when he does clean up. This may be a phase too - so what ever you do, don't be too hard on him, just be firm, encouraging and reward all efforts."

"To remind our children of their responsibility we tell them what we expect and the consequences if they don't put the toys away. One consequence might be losing use of the toy for a period of time. (When I'm exasperated I threaten to throw the toys away but this is a childish approach I know. However, the children respond to this immediately and put everything away beautifully, so it does work and I have never thrown any toys away.) Our kids are most receptive when we approach it as a learning process, that we are teaching them how to take care of their things. We started to teach them when they were toddlers."

"Don't make all the toys accessible to him at one time. Keep some toys in a closet and rotate them every month. That way his toys seem new to him and there are fewer to pick up after playtime. I also assist in picking up - Sometimes preschoolers really don't `see' what is to be picked up. They need specific directions.

"One thing you could try is to make a reward chart. Buy some stickers-on stars and whenever you child does the assigned job (be very clear on what you want him to do exactly) and after a few day's, or however long it takes to reach the end of a row. Reward your child with an allowance or something good - I give my kids a dollar. Put the chart up out of reach but not out of sight and help your child put his own star on the chart. Let him pick out his own color each time. Start out small and don't make chores too big to handle."

"I think children at this age need structure and involvement from parents in order to succeed at cleaning up. One approach is to have a regular time each day when the whole family pitches in for 15 minutes to clean up - it really can be a fun time. Talk about how good it feels and looks to see it all neat again. Another strategy is to catch them before they launch into another activity and send them back to tidy up after their first mess before the proceed. Then praise! If our 4 year old doesn't want to help cleaning up, we usually remind her that next time she asks to play with that toy she'll want us to say `yes' again. Playing takes so much of their energy they're not usually too motivated to clean up at the end, are they? (Our play room is usually messy for a week at a time, sorry to say!)"

tentang Minyak Kelapa Dara (VCO)

yang ini satu lagi soalan yang selalu saya terima.

Tanamera or Qelapa VCO?

seriously dua-dua bagus ok.
kedua-duanya merupakan produk keluaran Tropical Herbs Sdn Bhd.
Tanamera suda berada di pasaran dari tahun 1993 manakala Qelapa baru berada di pasaran tahun 2013. and yang membezakan mereka adalah dari segi rupa bentuk dan harga.

RM60 untuk Qelapa VCO & RM34 untuk Tanamera VCO.

Tanamera VCO dalam bentuk cecair 100ml manakala Qelapa VCO dalam bentuk softgels (60 biji). Ada orang lebih suka dalam bentuk cecair sebab boleh digunakan sebagai losyen badan, pelembab muka, sapu pd perut untuk menghilangkan stretchmark, urut pd bahagian perineum dan diminum setiap hari.

Kebanyakan orang menggunakan Tanamera VCO ketika mengandung dan sewaktu berpantang. Selepas habis pantang, tak ramai yang sanggup makan cecair VCO begitu sahaja walaupun minyak kelapa dara sebenarnya mempunyai sangat banyakkk khasiat untuk tubuh kita. Dan disebabkan itu, ramai memilih Qelapa VCO kerana ia dlm bentuk softgels, lebih mudah dimakan, tanpa rasa dan bau, dan boleh digunakan untuk perkara-perkara yang saya sebutkan tadi; cucuk dgn jarum dan sapu sahaja.

Kebaikan dan fungsi Tanamera VCO adalah sama macam yang pernah saya tuliskan dalam entry sebelum ini. Dan di bawah saya telah listkan beberapa kebaikan Qelapa VCO untuk kegunaan semua.

Qelapa VCO :

1. Lauric Acid Tinggi - Lauric acid adalah kandungan utama yang memberikan faedah-feadah yang kami sebutkan di atas untuk badan. Jika Lauric Acid rendah maka minyak kelapa itu tidak akan memberikan kesan yang diingini. Qelapa hanya memilih minyak kelapa yang kandungan Lauric Acidnya berada pada tahap optimum iaitu antara 45-50%.

2. Kapsul Vegetarian - Qelapa menggunakan kapsul yang diperbuat daripada sayuran. Kami amat menitikberatkan sumber bahan kami dan kami ingin memastikan ianya 100% organic.

3. Minyak dalam Kapsul – Ramai pelanggan kami menyatakan mereka tak boleh makan minyak secara terus. Sebab itu kami letakkan minyak kelapa dara ini dalam bentuk kapsul. Anda tidak akan merasai rasa minyak. Sebaliknya ianya terus masuk ke dalam badan anda untuk diserap segala faedahnya.

4. 1300mg untuk satu kapsul - Untuk memastikan anda mendapat faedah kesihatan yang optimum, minyak kelapa dara perlu dimakan pada jumlah yang betul. 1300mg adalah jumlah yang tepat. Jangan tertipu dengan produk lain yang mungkin menawarkan harga yang murah tetapi kandungan minyak per kapsul adalah rendah.

5. 100% Halal & 100% Organik - Qelapa telah disahkan oleh JAKIM 100% halal. Dan bukan itu sahaja, kilang tempat Qelapa diproses juga halal. Ini bermaksud tempat pemprosesan dan produk itu sendiri menepati segala keperluan yang terbaik. Sebab itulah kami juga diiktiraf oleh GMP-Good Manufacturing Process

6. Pengiktirafan FDA - Qelapa telah membuktikan kepada semua yang produk ini adalah cukup istimewa dan selamat. Tahukah anda, untuk mendapat pengiktirafan FDA, kita perlu menghantar sampel kepada labaratori mereka untuk diuji. Dan hasil ujian mereka mengesahkan yang Qelapa memang satu produk yang berkualiti dan terbaik!

Loose pack for set bersalin?

Kerap juga para ibu bertanya, ‘Set bersalin mana yang paling bagus?’
‘Antara set bersalin XXX dan YYY, yang mana yang paling ok?’
dan macam-macam lagi soalan berkenaan set bersalin.

Maka di sini saya listkan satu lagi set bersalin pilihan ramai, bestseller di CHARMS & COLORS, gabungan loose pack NR (Nona Roguy), Tanamera, Shaklee & Amway dengan harga promosi cuma RM430 (normal RM544.50) + FREE DELIVERY + FREE GIFT

Yang ini memang betul-betul bestseller kami dan tahun ini sahaja ada seorang customer yg telah membeli 3 set bersalin CharmsExtavia untuk ketiga-tiga anaknya. haa bila dah cuba memang nak lagi :)

SET BERSALIN CharmsExtavia :

• Amway Baby Oil / Tanamera Kidz Spot Oil,
• Bengkung Tanamera (53cm) / Bengkung NR (50cm) / Bengkung Tali (46cm),
• NR Minyak Berubat Herba (120 ml),
• NR Minyak Herbanika (130 ml),
• NR Pil Phytonatal (90 biji),
• NR Serbuk Barut Herbanika 150g / Krim Barut 60g,
• NR Akar Herbanika (15 pek) / Shaklee Ostematrix,
• Shaklee Vitalea,
• Tanamera Brown Soap / Green Soap,
• Tanamera Herbal Bath / Feminine Herbal Wash / Barra Gel NR,
• Tanamera Minyak Kelapa Dara (VCO)

Ada juga yang bertanya, takpe ke guna campur-campur macam ni?

Actually campur-campur tiada masalah, sekiranya ia bukan dari jenis yang sama.

Jamu boleh dimakan dengan vitamin/supplement tetapi jamu tidak boleh dimakan sekali dengan jamu/herba dari brand lain. Vice versa. Sama juga, vitamin/supplement tidak boleh dimakan sekali dengan vitamin/supplement dari brand lain.

Contohnya, utk dalaman, jangan sesekali mkn Vitalea Shaklee serentak dengan multivitamin brand lain. Dan jangan makan Phytonatal dengan jamu brand lain. Ditakuti OVERDOSE.

Disebabkan itu, cara sebaik-baik utk consume item di dalam set ini ialah seperti berikut :

• Untuk 3 hari pertama, makan 1 biji Vitalea setiap pagi selepas makan. Makan Ostematrix max 3 biji sehari selepas makan malam.
• Jangan makan Vitalea & Ostematrix serentak kerana kalsium mengurangkan penyerapan iron yang terdapat di dalam Vitalea.
• Selepas 3 hari, boleh start mkn Phytonatal sebanyak 2-3 biji. Sekiranya baby tidak kuning, boleh continue makan Phytonatal setiap hari. Sekiranya baby kuning, stop dahulu. Tetapi Vitalea & Ostematrix (kalsium) boleh dimakan setiap hari walaupun baby mengalami masalah kuning kerana ia juga tidak memberi effect kpd baby. Ia juga sangat baik untuk menambah tenaga, mengelakkan kejang otot, mengelakkan sembelit dan meningkatkan pengeluaran susu ibu.

Sekiranya memilih Akar Herbanika instead of Ostematrix, juga sangat bagus untuk ibu kena air akar menyegarkan urat saraf, mengurangkan air yang berlebihan (water retention), membantu pengeluaran susu yang baik dan pekat, melawaskan pembuangan air kecil, membantu memecahkan lemak yang degil, mengatasi keletihan, membantu mengatasi masalah sendi seperti gout, reumatisme, arteritis, sakit-sakit sendi dan pelbagai khasiat lain.

Untuk kegunaan luaran juga tiada masalah utk mengambil pelbagai produk tapi secara berpada-padalah. Jangan pulak untuk krim barut, campur krim barut NR dan Amway dlm satu bekas untuk sapu pd perut, kan.

Dan kedua-dua Myk Berubat Herba dan Amway Baby Oil di dalam set ini boleh digunakan sebagai minyak bayi. Ada juga yang mahu lebih jimat, jadi cuma memilih salah satu antara keduanya. Myk Berubat Herba memang sangat banyak kegunaan lain. Selain untuk bayi, ia juga boleh digunakan oleh satu family. Lagipun minyak bayi tak rugi beli banyak-banyak sebab ia pasti digunakan. Boleh letakkan satu botol di babysitter dan satu lagi utk kegunaan di rumah.

Saya masukkan kedua-duanya di dalam set ini kerana kedua-duanya bestseller kami dan ramai membeli Myk Berubat Herba untuk mempercepatkan luka episiotomi ibu sembuh, mengurangkan ngilu di bhgn jahitan dan sebagai myk urut bayi dan kanak-kanak. Amway Baby Oil pula memang khusus untuk bayi, mengelakkan kembung, dengan bau lebih harum naturally dan digunakan sebagai myk urut bayi setiap hari. 

So dah tau kan apa jawapan saya jika ditanya yang mana satu set bersalin pilihan saya utk berpantang? sudah tentulah set bersalin CharmsExtavia! 11 produk gabungan antara NR (Nona Roguy), Tanamera, Shaklee & Amway dengan harga promosi cuma RM430 (normal RM544.50) + FREE DELIVERY + FREE GIFT.

Best dan berbaloi-baloi :)

Why I blog?

I have to update this blog regularly.
not just once a week but hopefully everyday. angan2 dulu oke.

no, really!
My little Aaira has turned 1 years old last month and I miss a story about her birthday. In fact I miss to blog almost everything about her T_T

yes, I've got a hectic schedule, but I'm so in love with it and of course I wouldn't have my life any other way. but then, di tengah2 sesuatu yg sibuk, mesti la peruntukkan sedikit masa untuk diri sendiri, kan. and in my case, it is this blog.

yes, blog will give impact to your life.
as per written below by Joshua Becker from http://www.becomingminimalist.com

1. You’ll become a better writer. At its core, writing is communication. It is about recording thoughts on paper and compelling others to agree with them. To that end, writing (just like every other form of communication that has ever existed) improves with practice. Blogging will not force you to become a better writer… it’ll just happen as you do it. And becoming a better writer holds important benefits for the rest of your life – whether you are creating a book, a presentation, a résumé, or an anniversary card for your spouse.

2. You’ll become a better thinker. Because the process of writing includes recording thoughts on paper, the blogging process encourages you to stop and think deeper. You will delve deeper into the matters of your life and the worldview that shapes them. Unfortunately, at this point, many will choose not to blog (or write at all) based on the faulty reasoning that they “have nothing to say.” But to that line of thinking I always respond the same way… maybe you just haven’t discovered yet what you have to say.

3. You’ll live a more intentional life. Once you start writing about your life and the thoughts that shape it, you’ll begin thinking more intentionally about who you are, who you are becoming, and whether you like what you see or not. And that just may be reason enough to get started.

4. You’ll develop an eye for meaningful things. By necessity, blogging requires a filter. It’s simply not possible to write about every event, every thought, and every happening in your life. Instead, blogging is a never-ending process of choosing to articulate the most meaningful events and the most important thoughts. This process of choice helps you develop an eye for meaningful things. And remember that sometimes the most meaningful things appear in the most mundane… but you’ll see what I mean once you get started.

5. It’ll lead to healthier life habits. Blogging requires time, devotion, commitment, and discipline. And just to be clear, those are all good things to embrace – they will help you get the most out of your days and life. Since beginning to blog, I have become an early riser, a runner, and can now properly identify my favorite drink at Starbuck’s (Caramel Macchiato). And even if those three habits don’t personally appeal to you, blogging will provide opportunity for new life habits to emerge in yours.

6. You’ll meet new people. Whether it be through comments, e-mails, or social media, you may be surprised at how quickly you meet people on-line. And by meet people, I mean legitimately form relationships that seek to serve one another. The blogging community is friendly, encouraging, and genuinely cheering for you to succeed… the only thing missing is you.

7. You’ll make some money. You don’t need to make money to enjoy blogging. In fact, sometimes making money from your blog can actually start to distract you from the joy that you found in the first place. That being said, whether you make $20/year or $20,000/year, it’s still pretty nice to have a hobby that actually pays you back.

8. You’ll inspire others. Blogging not only changes your life, it also changes the life of the reader. And because blogs are free for the audience and open to the public, on many levels, it is an act of giving. It is a selfless act of service to invest your time, energy, and worldview into a piece of writing and then offer it free to anybody who wants to read it. Others will find inspiration in your writing… and that’s a wonderful feeling.

9. You’ll become more well-rounded in your mindset. After all, blogging is an exercise in give-and-take. One of the greatest differences between blogging and traditional publishing is the opportunity for readers to offer input. As the blog’s writer, you introduce a topic that you feel is significant and meaningful. You take time to lay out a subject in the minds of your readers and offer your thoughts on the topic. Then, the readers get to respond. And often times, their responses in the comment section challenge us to take a new, fresh look at the very topic we thought was so important in the first place.

10. It’s free. Your blog can begin today without spending a single penny now (or ever). I use WordPress and highly recommend it. With an initial investment of $0, why not give it a shot? Or for just a few dollars/month, you can use your very own domain name. I use and recommend Bluehost.

11. You’ll become more comfortable being known. Blogging introduces yourself to the world. It causes you to articulate the life you live and the worldview behind the decisions that you make. Whether you have 1 reader or 10,000, the blogging process opens up your life to those on the outside. It is a good exercise in human-existence to be known by others. Over time, you’ll reveal more and more of yourself to the outside world… and you’ll be excited to find a world that relates to you and enjoys hearing your story.

12. It’ll serve as a personal journal. Blogging serves many of the same roles as a personal journey. It trains us to be observant and gives weight to the personal growth that we are experiencing. It trains our minds to track life and articulate the changes we are experiencing. Your blog becomes a digital record of your life that is saved “in the cloud.” As a result, it can never be lost, stolen, or destroyed in a fire.

13. You’ll become more confident. Blogging will help you discover more confidence in your life. You will quickly realize that you do live an important life with a unique view and have something to offer others.

14. You’ll find a platform to recommend. We all love to recommend something we have found enjoyable or beneficial – whether it be a nice restaurant, a good book, or a new outlook on life. The fullness of joy is not experienced until we have shared that joy with others. A blog provides an opportunity to do that very thing. It provides a platform to share the joy we have experienced and recommend good things we have discovered to others.

15. It’s quite a rush with every positive comment. There’s a certain little rush that accompanies the immediate positive feedback that you receive every time a reader posts a comment, shares your writing on Facebook, or tweets it out to their Twitter followers. While walking the fine line between finding encouragement in that feedback and obsessing over it may take some time to get used to, it’s far better to find that line than to never seek it out in the first place.

Remember, you don’t need to blog as a means to get rich or as a means to gather a huge following. You don’t even need to blog as a means to change the Internet… the change that a blog will cause in your life is reason enough.

Tempat print murahan

I think many people out there tengah mencari-cari tempat untuk print flyers, booklet or name card yang murah. And maybe you can try this one from e-print.my. Seriously murah oke. Saya dah order beberapa kali dengan company ini and they provide excellent service to me.

They have many branches in Malaysia and prefer kalau you order secara online. My beautiful business card cost about RM50 for 1000 pcs. Murah gila kot.

But they provide printing and cutting services je la. Design and all that you have to do it yourself or cari designer lain.

Saya tak dapat komisyen pun ok. Saya cuma suka barang murahan dgn kualiti terbaik, and fortunately saya memang suka share dengan semua :)

So, for more details you may contact them or go to their website :

looking back.

Tahun ini azam saya biasa-biasa sahaja.
Saya mahu hidup dikelilingi keluarga dan orang-orang tersayang, membuat perkara yg saya suka, sambil bershopping apa-apa pun yg saya mahu.

Saya mahu menjadi seorang yang kaya dan gembira ^_^
dan saya mahu menjadi seorang hamba yg lebih mentaati perintahNya.

Funny how life moves around us...
7 years back when I was still working in Melaka, I don't even have money to pay for my rent.

A few years later, which is now, I could actually afford to go to the showroom and buy a few real house straight away...
haha

It was a dream.. and dream becomes reality eventually if we work hard enough and if God allows it.. The point is, in life we should be optimistic. Always pray to God for the best outcome and always work hard for our future.

 

 

'sekiranya saya tidak melalui hidup yang itu dahulu, mungkin saya tidak akan dapat kehidupan saya yang hari ini, sekarang.

alhamdulillah ya Allah.

Promosi Pembukaan!

yes, this is our current obsession.

Always Ask The Child’s Mother First

Another good article yg patut korang baca.
Memang la kadang-kadang ada budak-budak yg we cannot resist nak bg diorg mkn coklat atau gula-gula. But please, please, please, ASK THE MOTHER first ya.

Aku memang cukup tak suka bila orang pandai-pandai bg anak kita makan gula-gula or whatsoever junk food without my permission. Memang la kesian budak nak makan tapi kalau tanya pd aku dulu, apa la salahnya. Aku boleh je distract balik my children and bg diorang makan benda lain.

Memang la orang ckp, ala nanti dah besar diorang makan jugak jajan2 semua tu. But as for me, selagi diorang masih di bawah jagaan aku, di bawah kawalan aku, I will try my best to control them. Bila dah di luar kawalan aku, itu lain cerita, nak buat mcm mana kan. Dah besar nanti pandai-pandai la jaga diri sendiri. At least time kecik-kecik ni takde la kena kencing manis ke hapa, mcm anak kwn aku tu. He's only 7 yrs old, and already been diagnosed with diabetes. and berpunca sbb minum air gas everyday. kesian oke.

So sila la baca ya.

Always Ask The Child’s Mother First

Before I had them, I was the doting aunt that didn’t mind being around kids.

There was once a baby shower where boyfriends, husbands and kids were invited.  A cute little boy (whose mom was then an acquaintance but has now become a good friend) came running up to me.  I was seated at the dessert table, and he pointed towards the goodies behind me.  I saw he was asking for a brownie, and I automatically reached over to get one for him.  He was too cute to resist!

Somewhere in the motions of me reaching for the brownie and him reaching up towards the said dessert, I caught his mom’s gaze from afar.  smiled and mouthed, “he’s asking for this“.  My hand hadn’t made it all the way down (and his fingers were inches away from the brownie) when she jumped up and ran to get him, saying, “No no no no…” to me.  She did it very pleasantly, but in the end the little boy realized he’d been spotted and that he wasn’t going to get his brownie treat.  He started to cry, but his (wise) mom was able to distract him quickly enough with something else.

I also caught my then-boyfriend-now husband looking at me and he reprimanded, “You should have asked first.”

What I couldn’t understand then is something I TOTALLY understand, practice and advocate now.

I find I’m constantly in that mom’s shoes:  pulling my kids away because well-meaning friends, family and relatives just hand my kids sweets, treats, and all these other things without checking with me first.  I understand everyone just wants to see them happy, but it doesn’t make my job as a parent any easier (and parenting is already hard to begin with!).  In fact every time I’m put in this position, I think of that mom friend and how irritated she must have felt towards me then.  I don’t blame her, because that’s how I feel now!  Even when the children are polite and ask nicely or wait patiently for their turn.  I have been told many times that my kids are hard to resist… but I cannot say it enough:  PLEASE ASK ME FIRST.

Moms are already the bad cop by default, and we don’t want anything else to reinforce that unless it’s absolutely necessary.  Often enough we’re the rule enforcer, the one that’s more strict, and the “un-fun” one (as my niece would say).  We have rules that you may not know about.  And we have rules that are different from your own, for reasons you may not understand.  I’m personally happy to share ours when asked though, and I would guess that other moms would too.

What if the child is allergic to something you offer, or it’s against the doctor’s orders?  Only a mother will know.  And it’s safe to assume that if the nanny also tells you so — then take heed (because in my case) she has been properly briefed.

Another thing is to ask mom IN PRIVATE.  If you dangle chocolates in front of a child’s face and say “Look what I have!  Oh but let’s ask your mom first,” it puts us moms in an awkward position.  And the poor child, it’s like such a big tease to see it and to not be able to get it!  It’s not fair to them and all the more it causes trouble.  But I’ve also found that if I’m consulted first in private, if it doesn’t go against some of our non-negotiables (like no sweets after 6pm), I will bend and compromise.  I’m happy to find a win-win-win solution, because I too like seeing my kids happy and being given special care and treatment.  But I need your cooperation too, as do most moms.

Why should we give every mother this courtesy?  Because all our parenting styles are different.  We all operate under different rules and circumstances.  This small effort is a subtle way to show mom, “I respect your style.”  Letting mom know can also help her plan a little better.  And give us moms the benefit of the doubt.  We don’t want to be mean or difficult, just because.  In the end, whatever happens to our children, be it a tummy ache, an allergic reaction or a tantrum — we have to deal with it.  We have to explain why and why not.  It’s all on us.

Something else needs to be said too.  When you ask — WAIT FOR A RESPONSE.  Some people know the “rule”, are great at asking — but they don’t bother waiting for mom to reply!  They just do what they want anyway.  Why ask then, out of posterity?!

How can you expect them NOT to want it? It’s a totally unfair test of E.Q.

Once I was asked if Sam could have chocolates (this was before lunch).  I said yes she can have a few but after she eats a proper meal (who doesn’t know that chocolates ruin a child’s good appetite anyway?!).  The chocolates were left in front of my poor daughter who just kept staring at them.  After a few minutes of Sam’s prodding (that I was so patiently trying to ward off), my instructions were ignored and Sam was told she could reach into the box and take a small bite.  That’s not exactly very helpful is it?!

This is for all the other moms and parents who go through the same things I do.  I am completely aware — no one purposely wants to cause trouble, or break the rules.  Everyone just wants to help or to please the child.  But I hope this helps us all realize that the best help you can give is to mom by asking first (and listening next of course).   Just respect that boundary, and things will go smoothly.  Everyone will get what they want, and we’ll all live happily ever after.

he just realized, marriage is not for him

yes he just realized, marriage is not for him.

Marriage Isn’t For You

Seth Adam Smith / November 2, 2013



Kim & I

 

Having been married only a year and a half, I’ve recently come to the conclusion that marriage isn’t for me.

Now before you start making assumptions, keep reading.
I met my wife in high school when we were 15 years old. We were friends for ten years until…until we decided no longer wanted to be just friends. :) I strongly recommend that best friends fall in love. Good times will be had by all.

Nevertheless, falling in love with my best friend did not prevent me from having certain fears and anxieties about getting married. The nearer Kim and I approached the decision to marry, the more I was filled with a paralyzing fear. Was I ready? Was I making the right choice? Was Kim the right person to marry? Would she make me happy?

Then, one fateful night, I shared these thoughts and concerns with my dad.

Perhaps each of us have moments in our lives when it feels like time slows down or the air becomes still and everything around us seems to draw in, marking that moment as one we will never forget.
My dad giving his response to my concerns was such a moment for me. With a knowing smile he said, “Seth, you’re being totally selfish. So I’m going to make this really simple: marriage isn’t for you. You don’t marry to make yourself happy, you marry to make someone else happy. More than that, your marriage isn’t for yourself, you’re marrying for a family. Not just for the in-laws and all of that nonsense, but for your future children. Who do you want to help you raise them? Who do you want to influence them? Marriage isn’t for you. It’s not about you. Marriage is about the person you married.”

It was in that very moment that I knew that Kim was the right person to marry. I realized that I wanted to make her happy; to see her smile every day, to make her laugh every day. I wanted to be a part of her family, and my family wanted her to be a part of ours. And thinking back on all the times I had seen her play with my nieces, I knew that she was the one with whom I wanted to build our own family.

My father’s advice was both shocking and revelatory. It went against the grain of today’s “Walmart philosophy”, which is if it doesn’t make you happy, you can take it back and get a new one.

No, a true marriage (and true love) is never about you. It’s about the person you love—their wants, their needs, their hopes, and their dreams. Selfishness demands, “What’s in it for me?”, while Love asks, “What can I give?”

Some time ago, my wife showed me what it means to love selflessly. For many months, my heart had been hardening with a mixture of fear and resentment. Then, after the pressure had built up to where neither of us could stand it, emotions erupted. I was callous. I was selfish.

But instead of matching my selfishness, Kim did something beyond wonderful—she showed an outpouring of love. Laying aside all of the pain and aguish I had caused her, she lovingly took me in her arms and soothed my soul.

I realized that I had forgotten my dad’s advice. While Kim’s side of the marriage had been to love me, my side of the marriage had become all about me. This awful realization brought me to tears, and I promised my wife that I would try to be better.

To all who are reading this article—married, almost married, single, or even the sworn bachelor or bachelorette—I want you to know that marriage isn’t for you. No true relationship of love is for you. Love is about the person you love.

And, paradoxically, the more you truly love that person, the more love you receive. And not just from your significant other, but from their friends and their family and thousands of others you never would have met had your love remained self-centered.

Truly, love and marriage isn’t for you.
It’s for others.

What a 4 years old should know?

aku selalu cakap kat hubby, nanti dah besar, biarlah Danish and Aaira pilih jalan masing2, tak perlu paksa utk belajar pandai2 sgt, jadi dokter or engineer, sebab aku lebih suka jika mereka lalui segala keseronokan dan kesusahan hidup yg aku dan hubby dah rasa.

and to be frank, I prefer them to be a teacher or run their own business, and have control of their own time.

Danish is almost 3 and I know he's a brilliant kid. I don't have to teach him abc or 123 or alif ba ta, and he already knows everything. I let him play whatever it is that he wants to play, tengok la kartun sampai la mama suruh tido, and I let him enjoy his life as a toddler for now.

kawan2 aku ramai yg dah plan nak hantar anak-anak ke kelas piano, art classes, kumon, nuri, etc2 tapi pd aku, entah ya.

the time will come.

as long as he's happy, healthy, menurut cakap ibu bapa, then all is well with me. aku lebih risau jika nanti dia terjebak dgn kawan2 yg tak berapa nak baik, and things likes drugs and all that, daripada nak risaukan dia tak dpt straight A's in UPSR.

bukan la maksud aku tak payah belajar pandai2, belajar tetap kena belajar, but there's more to life than being the top of the class. not necessarily to be number 1. number 3 or 4 is ok what?

and read this is hokey.
it is something good yg patut semua ibu bapa tahu.

Written by a Pre-School Teacher – It says it all!


I was on a parenting bulletin board recently and read a post by a mother who was worried that her 4 1/2 year old did not know enough. “What should a 4 year old know?” she asked.

Most of the answers left me not only saddened but pretty soundly annoyed. One mom posted a laundry list of all of the things her son knew. Counting to 100, planets, how to write his first and last name, and on and on. Others chimed in with how much more their children already knew, some who were only three. A few posted URL’s to lists of what each age should know. The fewest yet said that each child develops at his own pace and not to worry.

It bothered me greatly to see these mothers responding to a worried mom by adding to her concern, with lists of all the things their children could do that hers couldn’t. We are such a competitive culture that even our pre-schoolers have become trophies and bragging rights. Childhood shouldn’t be a race.

So here, I offer my list of what a 4 year old should know.

She should know that she is loved wholly and unconditionally, all of the time.

He should know that he is safe and he should know how to keep himself safe in public, with others, and in varied situations. He should know that he can trust his instincts about people and that he never has to do something that doesn’t feel right, no matter who is asking. He should know his personal rights and that his family will back them up.

She should know how to laugh, act silly, be goofy and use her imagination. She should know that it is always okay to paint the sky orange and give cats 6 legs.

He should know his own interests and be encouraged to follow them. If he could care less about learning his numbers, his parents should realize he’ll learn them accidentally soon enough and let him immerse himself instead in rocket ships, drawing, dinosaurs or playing in the mud.

She should know that the world is magical and that so is she. She should know that she’s wonderful, brilliant, creative, compassionate and marvellous. She should know that it’s just as worthy to spend the day outside making daisy chains, mud pies and fairy houses as it is to practice phonics. Scratch that– way more worthy.

But more important, here’s what parents need to know.

That every child learns to walk, talk, read and do algebra at his own pace and that it will have no bearing on how well he walks, talks, reads or does algebra.

That the single biggest predictor of high academic achievement and high ACT scores is reading to children. Not flash cards, not workbooks, not fancy preschools, not blinking toys or computers, but mom or dad taking the time every day or night (or both!) to sit and read them wonderful books.

That being the smartest or most accomplished kid in class has never had any bearing on being the happiest. We are so caught up in trying to give our children “advantages” that we’re giving them lives as multi-tasked and stressful as ours. One of the biggest advantages we can give our children is a simple, carefree childhood.

That our children deserve to be surrounded by books, nature, art supplies and the freedom to explore them.

Most of us could get rid of 90% of our children’s toys and they wouldn’t be missed, but some things are important– building toys like lego and blocks, creative toys like all types of art materials (good stuff), musical instruments (real ones and multicultural ones), dress up clothes and books, books, books. (Incidentally, much of this can be picked up quite cheaply at thrift shops.)

They need to have the freedom to explore with these things too– to play with scoops of dried beans in the high chair (supervised, of course), to knead bread and make messes, to use paint and play dough and glitter at the kitchen table while we make supper even though it gets everywhere, to have a spot in the yard where it’s absolutely fine to dig up all the grass and make a mud pit.

That our children need more of us. We have become so good at saying that we need to take care of ourselves that some of us have used it as an excuse to have the rest of the world take care of our kids. Yes, we all need undisturbed baths, time with friends, sanity breaks and an occasional life outside of parenthood. But we live in a time when parenting magazines recommend trying to commit to 10 minutes a day with each child and scheduling one Saturday a month as family day. That’s not okay!

Our children don’t need Nintendos, computers, after school activities, ballet lessons, play groups and soccer practice nearly as much as they need US. They need fathers who sit and listen to their days, mothers who join in and make crafts with them, parents who take the time to read them stories and act like idiots with them. They need us to take walks with them and not mind the .1 MPH pace of a toddler on a spring night. They deserve to help us make supper even though it takes twice as long and makes it twice as much work. They deserve to know that they’re a priority for us and that we truly love to be with them.

and yes, this is what a 4 year old should know.
