Health / Useful Skin Care Tips You Should Know by Danielsextra(m): 9:47am On Oct 16, 2018
• Sun Protection: Sun plays a major role to deteriorate your skin. You need to protect your skin from the sun in order to prevent the aging of your skin. The sun is largely responsible for wrinkles, dry skin, and blotchy pigmentation; thinning of skin, skin texture, skin dullness, thinning of the skin and some other sun-related diseases that can make your skin look older.

• Avoid Smoking: This tip is mostly for men as large population of the people into smoking are men. Smoking is directly responsible for yellow and wrinkled skin. Many scientists have suggested that nicotine present in the cigarette has the same influence on elastin as sunlight.

• Maintain your fitness: With age its quite possible that extra weight can accumulate under the skin, neck or cheeks giving the skin an older look. In order to improve the appearance of your skin, you need to have a balanced diet and exercise regularly. You need to have at least eight to ten glasses of water every day.

• A smile can do wonders: Your face tends to conform to the position or expression that you carry most of the time. If you often frown or get angry your skin is more likely to develop wrinkles between the eyes, lines at the corner of your mouth or other lines that add your frowning expression. In order to avoid such a phase all you have to do is just smile. A Smile can do wonders for your skin and help keep you looking younger.

• Skin Care: Taking care of your skin is very important. You need to wash your face immediately after you had an outing in the sun. Scrubbing your skin dry can help you get rid of the dead cells which could lead to rough skin.

• Sleeping positions: Sleeping on your face can cause sleep wrinkles. Also, avoid sleeping in one position for the major part of the night as this could crease your skin. You need to have at least 8 hours of sleep every day.

Health / Tips On How To Survive The First Month Of The Baby by Danielsextra(m): 3:18pm On Oct 15, 2018
When first-time parents receive so many contrary opinions that they end up totally lost When first-time parents receive so many contrary opinions that they end up totally lost.

Now I understand why many couples separate having children Now I understand why many couples separate having children.

Dear visitor, do not take the baby before his mother if they are separated after birth Dear visitor, do not take the baby before his mother if they are separated after birth.

1. The one who knows best what you need is your baby. First-time parents are a magnet for advice. Ask them or not, you receive them, and curiously it seems that everyone knows more about your baby than you do, so they will advise you from everywhere, and what is worse, they will give you contradictory advice.

That is why it is best to listen to them and leave them on standby if at any time you consider it appropriate to carry them out, knowing that the person who knows best what the baby needs is the baby: if he cries, things go wrong; If he does not cry, things go well.

2. Enjoy taking it as much as you want.
When you announce a pregnancy, people get excited because you are going to have a precious baby to give a lot of love, and to receive a lot of love too.

Everyone is very impatient and excited until the moment they are born. Then the problems begin: you no longer have to give him so much love, “you better not take it too much “, “it’s good to cry a little”, and a lot of similar phrases that do not make any sense.

Take it all you want, whether you are crying or not, because the children have to love you very much, very much, and enjoy them and them.

3. It is better to visit them.
Actually, it depends on the way of acting of family and friends. If you are one of those couples with a direct environment of “getting into the kitchen” and doing it even when you have not invited them (that of “we were at home and we said: let’s surprise them and we’ll eat, have a snack and dinner “), it may be better to offer yourselves to go to see them when you consider that it is time, to wait for them to come.

I say it because if you are going to visit, you can go whenever you want. But if you come to visit, it is more complicated to throw people out of the house (and if you do not get it, nights with the baby can be horrible: of continuous crying and waking, as a reflection of their days).

4. Always wash your hands before you take it.
Yes, I know that you are his father and you are completely healthy. It does not matter, every person who goes to take the baby has to wash their hands before doing it, especially if it comes from the street. In the hands, germs and pathogens travel from one place to another.

5. Have everything well prepared before doing anything.
This man in the photo is an expert already: on the floor and surrounded by toys. You will be like this soon, but not yet. In the first month, it is worth stopping to do a mental exploration of what will be the time, to have everything prepared in advance.

If you have it in a changing room, do not have to turn your back on it for a moment to catch something that you need (and if so, it is better to pick up the child and look for him with his arms); If you are going to bathe, you do not realize once you are in the water that something is missing, or when you take it out, that you have to dress it with some urgency so that it does not go cold.

6. Always put him to sleep in the supine position.
Or what is the same, face up with the head cocked. It is the safest way to sleep (the one that leads to a lower risk of sudden death).

7. Go out to the street for a while every day.
Although you have everything to do. Quiet, you are not the only ones: we have all gone through this and although it may seem a lie, breaking with the environment, the environment and the house, helps.

Go for a walk, give you the air, give the air to the baby, talk about things that are not the baby, or the baby, but talk; relate, look at people, appreciate the outside, let the rays of the sun caress your face … not even a few minutes.

8. It dries well in the folds of the skin
In the armpits, the groin and the neck above all. Do not forget to pass the sponge out there and dry those areas well, because if they do not remain wet and they begin to make injuries that then it is hard to cure.

9. Take advantage of the ‘cream moment’ to massage it. It is not that babies need a moisturizer (most do not need it), but it is a perfect time to give a little massage: soft, without strength, just moving a bit their limbs and putting the cream on the whole body. Now here, now I put you aside, now a moment on your stomach, now on the other side, I massage your head, arms, tummy, legs, feet …

There is nothing like knowing your baby visually, every corner of your body, and also with your hands, to fall in love a little more with him. In addition, it is communication, it is love, and the baby thanks him (usually thanks him … if yours is one of those who does not like massages, try at another time or in another way).

10. Make it clear when it is day and when it is a night. You could say that most babies are born with the changed dream, and that is that they tend to repeat outside the patterns that were still inside: for the day very calm, with the oscillation of mom’s movements, and at night ‘party’, taking advantage of being still.

Well, to change this, little by little, it is advised that during the day there is enough light and the usual noise , and at dusk to let the house darken as the sun goes down, using very dim lights and helping the baby to sleep when you make signs that you are sleepy (the first month is difficult to see this, but when it is older this advice will go well so you do not screw up and then it is much more difficult to sleep).

11. The house can wait. If picking up the house, making food, folding clothes, etc., is robbing you of hours of sleep and makes you accumulate even more fatigue, leave it a little aside.

You can ask the family to bring you food, buy it made and even eat with disposable plates and cutlery if you see yourself in a hurry. The first thing is you and the baby, and rest is important: that one thing is to sleep little and another to have hallucinations or to fall asleep in the toilet.

12. What you wear clothes and one more garment.
Be careful when putting clothes on it: do not overcook it. It is enough to dress it as you go and if you add one more garment because you walk and get warm, but he does not.

To know how the temperature is going, you have to touch the back: the hands will almost always be relatively cold.

13. Put yourself in place. If you cry a lot and ask for arms and contact very often, be very clear that it is not manipulating you in any way. It is simply letting you know that something is wrong and that you need you do not know how to fix it.

So as not to despair, if you have had a very demanding baby, it is worth trying to understand what he is living: he has just arrived in a strange world that he does not know and is trying to adapt. If there are adults who have not yet achieved it, how is a baby so small and totally dependent?

14. Hold it and congratulate yourself for surviving one more day. Equal in your case the verb survive seems to be exaggerated. But yes, there are couples who survive more than life. So when the night comes and you see that you have achieved, you can come very well a hug and a “we’re doing well, right?”.

It can give rise to reflection on how you are carrying it and where you could improve and will unite you as a couple and as parents.

15. Relax and enjoy. Well, it’s a way of speaking: there are not many parents who relax when they are parents, because there is hardly time for it and because everything seems extremely important. But it can be done mentally if you try to do less around and if you start to doubtless about your capacity as a parent.

Look at your baby: he is growing, he is learning, he is changing with you; you are adapting each other to the new situation, and you are making it possible for you: dad and mom.

So badly you will not be doing it if what you do, you carry it out from the heart, and listening to the baby at all times to know if you are going well or not.

Enjoy your baby, enjoy your fatherhood, be happy. Being happy, she will be happier, and your baby will be happier too.

Health / Four Steps To Change A Child’s Behavior by Danielsextra(m): 2:02pm On Oct 15, 2018
The bad behavior of children seems to be a common evil that adults end up getting used to, without knowing very well what to do, or what is worse, without being clear who really is responsible for remedying it.

In fact, it is increasingly common to find responding children, disobedient, rude, loud or impertinent with adults who put their hands to their heads showing a clear gesture of “what I’m going to do with you.” Because neither punishments, nor voices, nor restrictions are worth solving this (in fact, this way of reacting only complicates things).

Learning to behave well is possible

The behavior of children is not a matter of magic, but rather it is a skill and, as such, can be learned. To learn the ability to behave well you have to apply the same procedure as for any other type of skill, which is based on four steps:

Choose a behavior
Define the problem
Plan a goal
Create steps to work toward that goal.

Step 1 – Choose a behavior

There are many ways in which bad behavior manifests itself. To begin to modify the behavior of a child, it is necessary to focus on one specific aspect or, at best, two. Trying to modify all the facets of a child’s misbehavior is a titanic task, difficult to control and to plan.

By focusing on one or two aspects of misbehavior we will not feel overwhelmed as parents or overwhelm them. In addition, it will be much easier to mark the guidelines that must be followed and evaluate the progress, as well as to communicate to the other adults who are with the child the keys of the new forms of behavior and behavior guidelines.

Facing many problems at once makes it difficult to determine where to focus the most attention to start making progress. It is better to prioritize issues that pose a risk to health or safety or those that may cause the emergence of other problems or that may hinder the relationship with others, the use of time, school rhythm or affecting Family life with more intensity.

Step 2 – Define the problem[/b][b]

Once it has been decided where to focus the efforts, it is time to raise the issue in question to the child and discuss the way in which his behavior affects him and affects others. It is not about making him feel bad for what he does, but about revealing the impact that this has on his life.

Only if the child sees that his behavior is a real problem that affects him directly can he acquire the commitment to change it? You have to know that doing things differently will benefit you and how you will do it.

Step 3 – Plan the goal

Next step is to plan a goal, that is, determine what changes should happen and over what period of time. It is important to keep in mind that the objective is not a desire, but a commitment. To do this, children must be clear about what they want to do and define it with clear words. For example, “I will be more orderly” or “I will be more kind”.

In addition, this specific goal must be measurable. This implies committing to something concrete during a certain time. In this sense, we must define exactly what can be observed to assess whether the behavior with which the child has committed is occurring, what they mean concretely and how they are achieved.

Step 4 – Define the steps to be followed

The above is still too difficult, so you have to draw a route. Once the objective has been defined and what it consists of, it is necessary to determine the specific steps that will take place. These steps have to be realistic. The fact that a child understands why he should behave well and assume the commitment does not mean that the thing will change from one day to the next.

The child has a habit that will not change just because he is convinced that he should do it, so he will continue to do so as soon as he relaxes a bit. That’s why you have to go little by little. In addition, the child must realize the progress and ensure it.

A child who behaves badly is not a “bad boy”

Beware of labels. A child who behaves badly is not a bad child, much less is worse than someone who behaves well. The misbehavior of a child can be due to many reasons, such as a need for attention, a lack of solid models or negative influences of their environment, to name a few.

But if we persist in saying that they are bad because they misbehave and in comparing them with other children we will be creating even bigger problems in the child, problems that will be related to their self-esteem or their ability to relate, among others.
