Do We Need Multivitamins?

Image
The food that we take in today’s time, hardly has any vitamins and other essentials left in it. Because of the way the crops are grown using chemicals, storage, and the way we cook them all these things hardly make the food we take nutritious. Not only this, it is also difficult to get Fresh fruits and vegetables, so those people who are health conscious, want to substitute this lack, with supplements and multivitamins. In the beginning people used to think that if we take a daily dose of vitamins or minerals apart from the food we take, it will help in protecting one’s health. But later on studies have shown that, multivitamins cannot protect the major functioning organs of the body such as, brain or heart, though they have been to some extent useful in reducing cataracts and cancer. Some researchers believe that it is useless to use multivitamins, while others believe it is good to do so. In such a situation, naturally we have a question in our mind, why d...

Disciplining Kids

Image
Perhaps this is the toughest job of parenting. Disciplining kids is a tough task, because, they will not be in an age, where in you can make them sit, talk to them, and make them understand. Nor, can you punish them, and correct their behavior, because of their tender mind and body. We often associate the word discipline, with punishment, or control, but the real meaning of discipline is, to impart knowledge and skill. Discipline should help the child, to cope up with the real world, in an effective way. It should help him build confidence and should make him, competent. Effective and positive discipline, is guiding, and teaching children, not to just force them, to obey us. Parents should correct any misbehavior, but in a way that it has a positive effect, on the child. Even though, you correct them and discipline them, kids should always have confidence that you are there to love them, and take care of them. This is the kind of confidence, you need...

Some years back, a family was a family, and a home was a home, not just a house surrounded by four walls. The scenario has now, completely changed; today hardly you find any homes, and mostly all that you end up finding, are houses. Family has degraded itself, to merely four people living under a roof, and nothing more than that. Every one leading their own personal lives, in the name of privacy, and personal space. And kids ? Parents feel that, their personal relationship problems, are their own, and between the two. But the fact that they don’t understand is that, their misunderstandings, and behavior problems, effect, and influence the kids, in a great way. When kids see their parents quarreling, and blaming each other, they feel insecure. They grow up, developing, the feelings of, hate and insecurity. As parents, it is our fundamental responsibility, to see, that we give a proper positive environment, for our kids, to grow. If there are any mutual d...

Psychological Effects of Cartoons on Kids

Today in every house we find kids watching cartoons. Just to keep them occupied we make them watch cartoons, later on they become so addicted to them. That they hardly allow other to see any other program on television and start crying if we don’t allow them to see. Such is the effect of cartoons on kids. Kids now a day’s no more are interested in playing and outdoor activities, they are more interested to spend their time in front of the idiot box. Most of the time parents are busy in their own work and have no time to see what they are watching and what effect it has on them. If children spend time in playing and physical activities, their body and mind will become healthy. When they associate themselves with the friends of their age group they learn how to mingle with others and learn communication. Now a days we find hardly anyone doing this, if there is anything that is of interest to kids it is just watching cartoons. Today we find so many kids who are obese ...
