Some children are reluctant to bring a lunch box to school. For this problem, you as the parents should pay attention to these things below in persuading them.

1. Total understanding from parents or teachers. Children now are very critical, often they will ask “why” they should stop the habit or must be different from their friends. Parents and teachers must have a total understanding of when to ask the child to do something.

2. Skills to persuade a child with certain creativity. For examples are how to talk, how to take care of children, and also a healthy way of preparing food and good for children.

3. Parents should be smart in identifying what will make the child would follow the request of the parents. Try to be more creative in asking for the child to do something you want. Do not always “bribe” the kids with money.

4. Consistent. Children will also get the wrong impression and the wrong message if you are not consistent with your words. One day you say they should not be eating snacks in schools, on the other day, when you do not have time to bring prepare their lunch, you even gave them money to buy it.

Children lie is not the same with adults lie. What are the reasons children lie, here’s why:

1. Fear of blame
Children tell lies because he had a bad experience of facing an error. If the child ever cornered and feel “punished” as guilty, the child will choose the option to lie to avoid punishment, responsibility, or fear of blame.

2. Appear More Powerful
The other reason when the child was lying, he wanted to look more powerful than the truth and this occurs in children who are often compared with other children. Feeling less confident makes the child react to image himself more than he has now. Especially when she is in a peer environment (social group) is superb.

3. Feeling No Have Options
In the control group child care are too strong or authoritarian parents, kids always think the error is something that is unforgivable. When making a mistake, the child was always shadowed by fears of an advanced risk of errors.

4. Do not want parents to be upset
When parents always instilled high expectations, the child could be lying when reacting to a problem simply because her parents did not want to be disappointed.

5. Unappreciated
The principle of parents who only care about the results and do not consider this process to make the child was lying when he felt he did not get enough reward.

When we do travel with a toddler out of town or even out of the country, children are sometimes shocked by the differences that exist at home. One of them is a striking difference of time. Here’s how to cope

Time changes. Traveling to another city or country that has a striking difference in time, could affect the infant. Difference of one hour, the effect is not large. But if more than three hours clearly affects the child’s biological clock, so the routine of sleeping, waking, and eating will be shifted.

Travel across the equator makes children experience jetlag. The symptoms are: drowsiness, lethargy, nausea, confusion, headache, insomnia or irregular sleep patterns, dehydration, loss of appetite, and sensitive.

If this is you let it, can upset a child’s sleep pattern which if continued will affect on her health. Here’s how to overcome them;

1. Make sure children get enough sleep the night before departure.

2. Enough to drink on the plane to avoid dehydration.

3. Take him move the body with a gym or a walk around the cabin so that his feet are not swollen due to sitting too long.

4. on arrival at destination, immediately adjust the biological clock (as you do), such as eating and sleeping hours, local time. This helps the body adapt to the changing times.

5. Sunbathing. Exposure to sunlight stimulates the body’s cells to adapt to new environments.

6. Resting before the move. The time delay causes the body to quickly adapt.

7. Encourage the child to move to stimulate active immunity, in order not to hurt.

8. Provide food, and without recourse, try eating schedule. When a child is refusing to eat, do not be forced. Give small portions but frequently. At first your child may be sleepy because it is still subject to impact of jet lag.

Here are tips on how to make kids love vegetables

1. When breast-fed infants.
This is first and foremost factor. Breast-fed baby is already familiar with various kinds of breast milk taste that is always changing based on the foods consumed by mother.
Breastfed babies have indirectly introduced with vegetables flavor, while bottle-feeding babies do not get this benefit.

2. Eating with family.
Get used to have babies with us when we are having vegetables meals. By doing that, they will see us eat, look at what we eat, look at us enjoying the vegetables. When your baby can sit up in the high chair she would sit and watch us eat. The scenery of enjoyment eating vegetables will be planted in her subconscious.
