I am often telling people about the importance of goal setting.

 

It is a fundamental part of my relaxation, and positive page with audio, website, as well as a subject I regularly discuss on my Martin Cohn Personal Development Blog.

Hence, it is fitting, I should talk about it here, for kids as well.

 

I was fortunate to learn about the importance of positive mind development early on ( well, at least in those days, when I was 16 at school).  However, how about learning about it as a young child?

 

I could have achieved so much more, so much sooner.

 

I am not bitter at all, but want to encourage that our kids be taught goal setting from a young age. It is really so worth it.

 

The ability to set goals from a young age, will set a habit up for a lifetime, that will propell your kids further than many of their peers.

 

It has been found that the majority of the world’s most successful people, all have set and written goals.

 

It is like an action plan, and one I encourage whole heartedly.

 

I genuinely wish you all the best in teaching your kids goal setting, as it is a function of their future success.

 Goal Setting for Kids and Adults

 

I have been, and continue to be a believer, and active player in setting goals for myself, sometimes many for even a day, through to long range goals for several years ahead.

 

The idea here is to focus, and we can all be lead astray from time to time.

 

Having a list is critical.

 

Naturally, for Kids, however, you need to approach the situation from a different standpoint.

 

I don’t seriosuly expect a kid or young child to be writing to do liksts and goal sheets, per se, but they can certainly apply the concepts in their own, and fun way.

 

Again, this is imperative to succeed with goal setting.

 

As kids, in particlular, make it Fun.

 

This is what Goal setting for Kids is all about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Potty Training- An Introduction

 

Potty training your child is one of those accomplishments that just about all children will learn, but only in their own time, when they are ready.

 

I can understand the anguish that parents go through when they want their child to learn this skill (which they will), but also, all parents need to understand that each child develops this in their own time.

 

Some may be fully trained by the time they are two, and others may only start when they are two and a half, or even later.

 

However, there are ways to help, and encourage your child, once they are ready.

 

Some Ideas to Help You Along the Potty Training Route

 

In some cases, when toddlers see the toilet being flushed at home, that can be enough to encourage them to ‘find out more’ about it.

 

In other cases, some toddlers realise that thwy may have to switch from their nice ‘super hero’ underwear to a traditional white platic nappy, if they soil their underwear.

 

Notice how gentle encouragement is being iontroduced here, to help the situation.  Your child will typicaly lerarn, but it is important to follwo different ideas with them, and see what they are atrtracted to. Then, work with that in mind.

 

I Would Still Like More Help…

 

That is absolutely OK. I can point you in the direction of a course on potty training, to train you as parents in the best methods to train your child.

 

They have been written by parents and medical people with experience, and any help can be a heaven sent gift.

 

I understand it can be difficult at times, so help is on the way.

I know I have discussed the issues surrounding digestive issues before, but it has been a popular topic of late, and I felt it beneficial to bring it up (no pun intended), in this post, to remind you of the benefits of correct eating.

 

I am not talking about eating five fruits and veges per day, although that is always a good idea, but rather, concentrating on the fact that we need to look at the way we mix our foods, or what foods we eat with other foods, and the order we do so in.

 

Ok, that was a mouthful. Let me explain in more detail.

 

Imagine the stomach is a sack, full of all your mixed uo food.

 

Now, some of the food you eat is alkali, and other teypes are more acidic. An example of acidic foods are citrus fruits, like oranges and grape fruit.

 

If this food is mixed with very alkali foods as well, the effect can be a ‘bad’ chemical reaction in your stomach, and different foods fderment, or decompose at different rates.

 

The end result can be gas, bloating, general discomfort, and pain for people.

 

Some people are fine, and do not eact, or notice these issues, but for others, it can be a major nightmare.

 

The website on Great Taste, with No Pain, explains this well, and also will give you the ability to dowenload a great eBook at no charge.

Allergy Management.

 

Managing allergies is not always a staright forward task, but it can be helped along, by reducing the likelyhood of mites, and other allergens coming into our contact at home.

 

Again, I would like to stress it is not something that can be guaranteed to be totally eliminated, but we need to see if we can at least reduce the chances of having problems in this area.

 

For this entry, I wanted to specifically focus on Organic Bedding for Babies, as they can be very sensitive, and it is beneficial to reduce the likelyhood of problems here.

The information below explains the benefits of using organic bedding for your children, and babies, as well as explains some of the details surrounding fleece, and other contents in bedding.

Why Organic Bedding?

 

Organic bedding provides relief for people with sensitive skin, especially newborn baby skin. The residue of toxic chemicals found in many baby bedding products – crib mattresses, blankets, sheets, etc – can harm and irritate the skin — our largest organ – as well as the respiratory system.

 

Scientific research and documentation, has long since proven that organic cotton and wool help to alleviate many persistent symptoms and discomforts, without chemical intervention. Problems anywhere from allergies, MCS (multiple chemical sensitivities), eczema; and may reduce the risk of SIDS.

What is in Organic Bedding?

 

Organic cotton is grown without pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or any other chemicals, and that makes it hugely different. The certified organic cotton used in our products contains no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers and has no added chemicals or preservatives (such as formaldehyde) used in the processing. It’s pure and clean – soft and comfortable.

Organic wools natural fiber provides maximum air-flow around the body. Wool fibers trap air and have a natural elasticity, so that when you lie down your body will be cradled and supported without pressure to acupressure points. Wool naturally wicks moisture away from skin and helps your baby maintain a dry comfortable body temperature in hot and cold weather.

 

Natural latex rubber dynamically conforms to your every movement throughout the night providing for a comfortable nights rest. Naturally resistant to mold, dust mites, mildew and is hypoallergenic. We use natural latex rubber which completely conforms to a persons body to distribute weight evenly without becoming indented or packed down for a sound uninterrupted sleep. Unlike memory foam which is derived from plastics, it doesn’t off-gas toxic chemicals and will not will not create “craters” in the material as you move.

 

 

 

 

What is Earthing All about, and how does it apply to me?

 

There have been numerous scientific studies carried out, and there is evidence to suggest that the ‘Earthing’ Process helps keep our bodies healthy.

 

Essentially, our bodies are in need to be conncetde to the earth’s surface, as at some time or anothere, there is alwasys a thunderstorm somewhere in the world.

 

The earth’s electrical field is maintained by thunderstorms — 1,000 to 2,000 thunderstorms are continually active across the earth. Since the earth’s surface is highly conductive, this electrical charge is evenly and rapidly dispersed across the earth. Standing barefoot on the earth (or otherwise connecting to the the earth) connects the human body with the unlimited supply of free electrons resident in and on the surface of the earth. The whole circuit is referred to as the global electrical circuit. It is estimated that this current would disappear in less than an hour if all thunderstorm activity ceased. Standing barefoot on the earth also connects the human body with rhythmic cycles of the earth’s energy field. These are essential for synchronizing biological clocks, hormonal cycles and physiological rhythms.

 

It should also be noted that our bodies are made up of water, which conducts electricity, or lectrons.

 

Hence, we are able to absorb the currents from the earth and our bodies are used to being in this direct curernt ‘field’ of energy.

 

Finally, it is believed that the connection to the stable source of the current from the earth is able to help to reduce the free radicals or electrons in our bodies that are not constructive to us.
