5 Ways to Help Your Child Become More Confident

written by Joy

Confidence is crucial because it what allows us to step out of comfort zone, try new things, and feel comfortable in certain situations, like when meeting new people. Essentially, it’s what allows us to feel more prepared for life’s experiences, no matter how big or small. Children who are confident in their abilities are also usually more independent because they don’t feel the need to rely on others. With this in mind, it’s a good idea for parents to try and help their child become more confident using various tactics. I have teamed up with a sixth form in London to share some ideas of how you can help.

Encourage Them to Try New Things

A confident child is one who isn’t afraid to attempt things they have never done before, and this takes practise. With that said, don’t do everything on your child’s behalf, like introducing them to a new person or tying their shoelaces for them; let them give it a go on their own. Don’t try and rescue them every time something isn’t going to plan, because they will never develop problem solving skills or have the self-assurance to go it alone. As a result, they are more likely to panic when you’re not there to hold their hand through a new experience. Eventually, they will realise that nothing is as scary or as difficult as it first seems, and they won’t be afraid to try new things going forward, with or without you.

Give Them Chores

Asking your child to help you with the household chores will give them the opportunity to learn a variety of key skills that will help them with their independence and serve them well throughout life, such as cooking or hoovering, setting the table, or sorting laundry into coloured piles. As they become increasingly more proficient at these tasks, they will start to feel more confident in their abilities and feel more in control. What’s more, asking them to complete tasks that you would normally do shows them that you trust them, which will further boost their self-esteem and make them feel good about themselves.

Encourage Extra-Curricular Activities

Extra-curricular activities are great for a child’s confidence and general wellbeing. They are a chance for your child to meet new people and make new friends, so they will become better communicators, and feel comfortable in the knowledge that they have a strong support system. In addition, they will develop skills like teamwork, perseverance, and time management, to name but a few. Again, this will help them feel more self-assured and positive and they can use their newfound skills to help them in other areas of life.

Embrace Mistakes & Failings

Your child won’t get everything right every time. They will make mistakes and things won’t go to plan; they are only human after all. Try to help them see these mistakes and failings as a chance to learn. If they are worried about failing, they will feel insecure and will be afraid to try in the first place. So, don’t be too hard on them when things go wrong.

Be an Optimistic Role Model

Try and focus on a glass half full approach around your child by looking on the bright side and showing them that things aren’t always as bad as they first seem. For instance, if you have to cancel plans with their friends due to sickness, say something like “As long as your friend is ok, that’s all that matters, we can do something else exciting today instead”. You should also encourage them to set realistic goals that they can work towards, so that they can approach the future with a confident, positive mindset.

Top Tips for Choosing a School for Your Child

written by Joy

If the time has come to choose a school for your child, you might be feeling a little overwhelmed. It’s one of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make for them and will influence their progression, their friendship groups, and even their interests. Read on for some tips on how to choose and what to consider from a prep school in Elstree.

Understand the Different Options

There are lots of different types of schools in the UK, so it’s worth understand what each of them entail before you make a decision.

Think About Your Priorities

Start by thinking about your priorities as a family when it comes to your child’s school. Here are some examples:

Does it need to be within walking distance of your home or on a suitable bus route?
Would you prefer to send your child to a single-sex school?
Are you looking for public or private?
Do you need boarding provisions?
Does your child have any special educational needs that need to be catered to?

Think about the daily needs of your child and your family as a whole to help you determine your priorities. Once you have figured out what it is you actually want from a school, you can start your search.

Do Some Online Research

Most schools have a decent enough website for prospective parents to get some idea of what they have to offer. So, do some research and look into things like the curriculum, the after-school clubs, and anything else that interests you. Then you can start to narrow down your search and rule out some definite no’s.

Look at League Tables

It’s worth taking a look at the league tables to figure out how students typically perform in certain schools. This is important, but it’s worth noting that it doesn’t give you the full picture of what the school has to offer, such as their extra-curricular provisions.

Visit the Schools

Once you have ruled out your definite no’s, you should have a short list of potential options that you can go and visit. Most schools have open events for prospective parents to attend, but you should always take these with a pinch of salt as everyone will be on their best behaviour. It might be better to arrange a visit for a normal day so you can see if everything runs smoothly. Pay attention to the following things during your visit:

Do the students seem happy and well adjusted?
Are the facilities clean/modern/safe?
Are student projects showcased around the building?
Is there somewhere nice for your child to spend their break times?

Ask Questions

During your visits to the schools, be sure to ask lots of questions so that you can make the most of the experience. Try and chat with both teachers and students and pay attention to how friendly and approachable they seem. Here are some examples of questions you could ask:

What are the school’s aims and ethos?
What options are available to students in terms of extra-curricular activities?
How do your pastoral care team deal with any problems, such as poor academic performance or a bullying issue?
Does the head teacher get to know each child individually?
What is the staff turnover?

These are just a few ideas as you are sure to have you own set of questions.

Listen to Your Gut

You know your child better than anyone, so you shouldn’t be afraid to listen to your gut. When you visit the schools, you will get a good sense as to whether or not your child is likely to be happy there, and your parental instinct is usually a good judge.

Top Tips for Decorating Your Home This Spring

written by Joy

Spring cleaning is an age-old tradition to get rid of the soot and dirt that has built up over winter. Nowadays, lots of people like to take this tradition to the next level and redecorate to freshen the place up for the sunnier months. There are, of course, lots of things that can be done around the house to give it a new lease of life. Here are some top tips to get you started.

Clean Up the Garden

Hopefully, with summer just around the corner, you’ll be able to spend some additional time outdoors and potentially host some BBQs. With that said, it’s a good idea to clean up the garden. Check your fence panels for damage and be sure to repair or replace any that need it and do the same with your decking. Cut back any unruly hedges and trees and maybe even plant some new bulbs and seeds.

Bring the Outside In

A great way to decorate for spring is to bring the outside in. This could simply be a vase filled with daffodils, or floral soft furnishings. Another idea is to grow your own herbs in the kitchen. Plants and flowers have been proven to boost mood and they look great so it’s a win-win situation.

Renew the Flooring

Floors get scuffed and scratched, there’s nothing anyone can do about that, but you don’t necessarily have to install new flooring to fix the problem. You could potentially paint the floor or invest in a colourful rug for spring.

Add a Fresh Coat of Paint

Lighter coloured walls are great for making a space feel brighter and bigger, so a quick coat of paint might be all your home needs to spruce it up this spring. Start with the ceiling and architrave, then paint from the top down with your roller. You’ll also need all of the right materials, like brushes, tapes, fillers, and other tools, but it should be a fairly affordable way to update your home.

Replace Your Doors

Another way to freshen up your home is to replace your old doors with new ones. If your budget is a bit slim, you could just give your old doors a new coat of paint.

Lay a Stair Runner

If you have slippery, wooden stairs, laying a runner will solve that problem for you, while also adding a splash of colour and personality.

Build Shelving

You can never have enough storage, so why not build some extra shelving into any alcoves or awkward corners? This will allow you to make the most of your space and help you clear up the clutter.

Clean Your Windows

A simple mix of warm water and vinegar is an easy way to clean up your windows and wiping them with newspapers afterwards should prevent streaks. If necessary, you might even want to install new windows, especially if you don’t already have double glazing, as this can keep your home a more comfortable temperature year-round.

Upgrade Your Kitchen

If budget permits, you might want to upgrade your kitchen this spring, as this is the room in the house that receives the most wear and tear. Doing so should help increase your property value, which is ideal if you think you might want to sell the property in the coming months or years. You don’t necessarily have to replace everything; you could simply paint your cabinets a new colour to transform the space.

MANILA, APRIL 11, 2022 – The continued unrest of the Taal Volcano forced over 1,000 Filipino families to evacuate to nearby communities in Batangas last March. With Alert Level 3 still in place, these families continue to spend their days in evacuation centers across the region.

How Do My Lifestyle Choices Impact My Fertility?

written by Joy

If you’re hoping to have a baby one day, either soon or in the far-off future, there are various lifestyle factors you can alter to increase your chances of conceiving. This applies to both men and women, as reproductive health is important for both parties. Once you have decided that the time is right to start a family, you may hope to conceive virtually straight away, but it doesn’t always happen that way, especially if you are not making healthy lifestyle choices. I have teamed up with a London fertility centre to explore the impact of certain lifestyle choices on fertility in further detail.

Exercise

Statistics show that women who exercise moderately and regularly tend to fall pregnant quicker than those who don’t. Exercise can also boost a man’s fertility because it can improve sperm count and quality. It’s worth noting, however, that if you are already at a healthy weight, vigorous exercise might decrease your fertility by impacting your menstrual cycle. A short walk each day is a safe option, and you might also want to consider yoga to help prepare you for pregnancy and childbirth. Once pregnant, swimming is a great form of exercise because it will help carry the extra weight.

Diet

The foods you eat can also impact your chances of conceiving. It’s wise to increase your intake of foods rich in antioxidants, like folic acid and zinc. With this in mind, be sure to eat a balanced diet, with plenty of fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grains. As well as potentially helping you conceive, a healthy diet also makes for fewer risks to your child. The Mediterranean diet is a good one to follow as it is rich in antioxidants and other important nutrients.

Sex

Of course, the amount of sex you’re having, and the timing of your intercourse play an important role in whether or not you will conceive. It is recommended for couples trying to conceive to have regular sex during the ovulation period, which is usually between 10 and 14 days before the bleed. Every other night during ovulation would be considered a regular schedule.

Smoking

If you’re a smoker, you’re probably fed up with being told to quit. However, doing so may increase your chances of conceiving a healthy baby. Smoking damages the genetic material in both eggs and sperm, so it may take you longer to conceive and miscarriage is more likely, as well as birth-defects. Second hand smoke is also damaging, and it might take a woman longer to conceive if they are exposed to second hand smoke. Other toxins in the environment can also impact fertility, such as pesticides, which is another thing to be aware of.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol can affect fertility for both men and women, even moderately. Alcohol can lower testosterone levels and sperm quantity and quality in men and can even cause impotence. It also reduces libido. For women, alcohol can affect ovulation and ovarian reserve. If you’re trying to conceive and especially once pregnant, it would be wise to avoid alcohol altogether.

Stress

The hormones released when stressed can affect a persons’ fertility, so it’s important to try and reduce stress where possible. Doing so can increase the blood flow to the reproductive organs in both men and women, therefore increasing the nutrients supply to those areas. Unfortunately, stress is a prominent part of life in any society, whether it be psychological, social, or physical. With that said, you may want to consider stress busting activities, such as meditation, counselling, and general relaxation.

Wristwatch as a Fashion Statement

written by Joy

^Wristwatch as a Fashion Statement

For the fashion-conscious, clothes and jewelry have always been crucial to achieving the right look. Nowadays, however, watches are considered to be as much a part of fashion as either. Watchmakers and designers have recognized this trend and now produce watches intended to make a fashion statement as well as being functional timepieces.

The wristwatch comes in all types for all types of people.

Most obviously, watches are now designed to suit the different requirements of a variety of wearers and are made in a wide range of shapes and sizes and different colors and materials. There are watches to suit the elegant woman or for precocious teenagers and there are watches for the businessman or the rugged sporting type.

Watches vary in many ways.

The faces are commonly round or square but modern designers experiment with all shapes. And watchbands, too, add to the variation – metal, cloth, plastic, and leather are among the materials used to keep your watch on your wrist if that’s where you want to wear it. Depending on your mood or attire, you can change your watchbands too, thus investing in an important tool like a watchmaker screwdriver will pay off as it will be often used for adjusting and replacing your watchbands. After all, watches can be worn as pendants and rings and even the traditional pocket watch is making a comeback. Designers also embellish their watches to increase their appeal. Different colored materials and the addition of gemstones like diamonds add to the glamour and attraction.

Men’s Watch

For showing off your personality and making you look more glamorous, there is no better accessory than a designer watch. Men generally favor two types of watches – the multi-functional chronograph and the elegant luxury watch. The functional watches are favored for general wear and for those who like a sporty look. They are usually fairly large watches with a variety of dials and features. Luxury watches are favored for evening wear and special occasions as they are more sophisticated in appearance and show class.

Women’s Watch

Women’s watches, too, are made to suit the occasion. There are practical watches for daytime wear and work, as well as fun watches for party time and watches that ooze elegance and style for those occasions when a touch of glamour is required.

Smart Watch

The Smart watch is the trend, due to the need to get fit during this Covid-19 pandemic. Smartwatch and fitness band wearable technology that provide a local touchscreen interface for daily use became popular and worn by people of all ages. With the growing rate of urbanization, the demand for aesthetically pleasing advanced products that meet consumer needs, such as schedules and various device features, is driving the demand for smartwatches around the world. In addition, the large millennium population is adopting smartwatches due to increased spending on their regular monitoring of working hours and luxury standards.

With the variety of beautifully designed watches available, there is one for everyone for every occasion. They are the ideal fashion accessory for men and women and if you want to make a fashion statement nothing says more than a designer watch. Your watch will make you feel good and set you apart from the rest.

Functional and attractive, watches are essential additions to any jewelry box. With prices to suit every budget, the watch is a versatile accessory that you cannot be without.
