			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Children are the face of god. Their innocent smiles win our hearts and this innocence<br />
should be nurtured and not wasted away in the harshness of life. But to think of reality, million of children in India are deprived of a normal childhood, they are forced to set out on the footpaths, streets begging for a rupee or two. A number of these underprivileged children are thrown into early labor and the bitter ways of earning. <span id="more-255"></span>They do not need our sympathetic looks but a simple encouraging help. You can help those children, the victims of harsh destiny by donating to charity homes or institution spread across the country.</p>
<p>A single rupee from your pockets can bring a vital change in their lives. The funds donated can be utilized in <strong>child development education</strong>. A number of NGOs and charity  homes have mushroomed across the cities and towns and these work hand in hand to promote child welfare and weed out the social evils which have clutched the future of India, the children of India. There are many good charities out there, the need is to do a little research to find them and stretch out a helping hand as your helping hands will guide these children to a bright future. One need not go hunting for the charities, the information is available online and even easier, one can donate online too.</p>
<p>The internet has grown tremendously over the years and it is today, the most powerful tool one can use to help donating to charity and thus, aid in the education and welfare of impoverished children. However, the donors should also be vigil enough to search amongst the many, many charities which are out there and ready to exploit the good will of people. You can take the help of many websites and thus, keep yourself from being fooled by the scammers. A list of guidelines will help you decide the charity you would want to give a donation to. And yes, while donating for charity always make sure that you donate it only to the charities you are familiar with. A number of known and popular charities like Plan India and many others are available online with all their information and guidelines. In case of other charities not so familiar to you, always check their details at your state or local government offices.</p>
<p>Do not give out your information to anyone asking for donations through e-mails; especially if you have not asked for any solicitation as a good chance lies for it to be fraudulent. Always explore well before making donation for children and check the<br />
financial records of the charity that asks you to donate. Concentrating on child welfare India has also taken crucial steps wherein the donations from the public are directed to child development education. National charities and the reputed charities let the donors know, where their donated money really goes. Therefore, research well and then bless the impoverished children towards a developed future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting children to learn has long been a dilemma faced by today&#8217;s teachers and parents. How do you make something like the industrial revolution interesting to an eight year old? It&#8217;s hard, but have always been intrepid folks out there who try their hardest to make the act of learning fun and entertaining for children. Educational board games are one of the most effective ways of doing so, and there have been a lot of really g<span id="more-263"></span>ood additions to the market over the years &#8211; board games, memory games, and puzzle games that challenge a child&#8217;s brain and give them a fun reason to learn.</p>
<p>These board games come in all shapes and sizes. For those looking to get a game for their child that will trigger some intellectual stimulation, it&#8217;s only a matter of choosing a topic or field to work with. School age board games are not only tailored for the skill level of your child, but the interests they might have.</p>
<p>For as young as children aged 1 and up, there are games that challenge them to recognize and remember different shapes, colors, and objects. By enhancing their cognitive ability through a fun memory game, you are giving them a head start on learning when they get older.</p>
<p>For the older children out there, the options immediately diversify. There are exciting puzzle games like Dinosaurs and Things that won&#8217;t even seem like learning to a child intrigued by the giant lizards of eons past. History has a habit of being dry and boring when taught from a text book, but a board game in which the information might sneak up on a child and be exciting is the perfect way to make them want to learn.</p>
<p>For the math crowd, there are many options. Fraction, multiplication, and division playing card decks are available as well as various memory games. The educational board games on the market are so varied that no matter how your child learns, whether it is visually, audibly, or hands on, there&#8217;s a game out there to help them.</p>
<p>Sitting down and playing a board game with your children is one of those activities that families have been doing for years, often on a set night, in a big group. It&#8217;s a great way to spend some time with your loved ones after a long, stressful week and unwind. At the same time, you can help your children develop stronger logic and problem solving skills and have fun while doing it.</p>
<p>There are school age board games for children of all ages, in topics ranging from history and math to geography and literature. Whether they know it or not, an educational board game is the best way for you to sneak up on your child with a good dose of mind expanding fun.</p>

<p>There is no doubt that raising children requires a lot of the life aspects that Feng Shui advocates and encourages.  You need wisdom, prosperity, and definitely serenity to successfully get the little tikes to adulthood.  Of course, Feng Shui and children go hand in hand as the little ones need encouragement in all of the life elements as well.  It is a tremendous benefit to young minds and hearts to start out life with a healt<span id="more-265"></span>hy dose of harmony.  Parents have found success with Feng Shui in aiding their children with sleeping issues, health concerns, and educational obstacles.  Arranging their homes and bedrooms to reflect the ancient philosophy is a good start to a peaceful, prosperous road.</p>
<p>The Chinese culture places a huge emphasis on the importance of education.  The way your child’s study area is laid out will make an enormous impact on how well they perform in school and types of grades they make.  The child’s desk should sit facing the doorway of the room.  If a child’s back is to the door, the positive energy will have a harder time reaching the little one.  A good way to activate positive chi in a study environment is to place a crystal sphere in the main window of the room.  While the crystal in the window is excellent, you don’t want to place the child’s seat in front of the window.  This is very distracting and their schoolwork will suffer for it.  Keep any sharp objects or even pictures of sharp objects out of the study area.  They symbolize negative chi and your child certainly doesn’t need that while trying to learn.  Implementing these Feng Shui and children educational practices can make a big difference in the wisdom life element.</p>
<p>Next to a child’s study space, their bedrooms are where kids spend most of their time.  It is important for this area to be arranged in the Feng Shui tradition as well.  Your first step should be to eliminate any clutter in the room.  It’s not funny.  Seriously, work with your child to arrange their things in their room without the presence of treasures and trash all over the place.  The balance created in their room will improve the overall relationships within the family.  Make sure you don’t overlook that handy space under the beds.  If there is a lot of stuff crammed in there the positive energy can become stuck and unable to assist the child.</p>
<p>Where the little one’s bed is placed is important as well.  The head of the bed should be placed on a solid wall.  There shouldn’t be a doorway or window on the same wall.  This is to stop chi from flowing out the window or door.  Another useful hint is to place the bed so that a person has room to walk on either side of it.  It shouldn’t be placed with the side to help with the balance of the child’s life.  Once again, it is vital for good energy to have the room to effectively flow throughout the room.  As far as other potential bedroom décor goes, you will want to keep mirrors out of the room.  If the child needs to see his or herself, they can always look in the bathroom.</p>
<p>There are other aspects of a child’s bedroom that need to be addressed as well.  In our Information Age, it is common practice for electronic devices to be all over the house.  In a child’s bedroom, these devices need to be used carefully.  The electromagnetic frequencies put off by electronics are harmful to sleep patterns and can increase moodiness and aggression.  To limit these effects make sure any computer monitor, alarm clock, and lamp is placed three to five feet away from the child.  Feng Shui and children are both natural things.  These electronic inferences should be avoided whenever possible.</p>
<p>Other décor comes into play in the Feng Shui and children combination.  Parents should help their kids choose the wall color in their bedrooms carefully.  Bold, loud colors aren’t good for a restful environment.  It may be necessary to compromise and use a muted, relaxed version of their favorite color.  Younger children will benefit from images that are non violent and non-threatening.  Cute animals and favorite cartoon characters are good choices.  Older children should be instructed to limit the number of posters they have on their walls that depict negative images of any kind.  A child of any age will feel a part of the family when they are alone with the addition of a family photo placed near their beds.  </p>
<p>Using Feng Shui and children’s natural inclination towards relaxation and serenity is a wonderful way to give your kids a solid, balanced start in life.  Remember that the use of color, furniture placement, and décor choices are important factors that need to be considered when arranging a child’s living space.</p>

<p>Most children love being in the bath, discovering the delights of splashing and the physical properties of water. But bath time can accomplish more than just a chore for mom and fun for kids. It’s a great time to expand the learning possibilities by providing childrens educational toys. This article provides ideas for getting the most from your bath toys.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to keep a variety of bath toys on hand, since <span id="more-253"></span>children will want choice and each type supports learning in different areas. Make sure toys are well-made, safe, and washable. Avoid those with limited possibilities, as they will be cast aside quickly. Instead, choose bath toys that can be used many ways. It’s not all about the toys &#8211; babies and young children need interaction too. Try peek-a-boo games, incorporating a favorite item. </p>
<p>Pouring water is universally popular and fun for kids of all ages from babies to older children. Recycled containers are a good starting point, and plenty of children’s educational toys expand on this idea. Some bath toys have appealing features like funny shapes and faces. Others are like families with individuals that represent adults and children. These sets will have long-lasting appeal even after the thrill of pouring wears off, as they can be used in imaginative play.</p>
<p>Look for sets with different colors to help children recognize and name colors. Many sets stack, offering the chance to combine pouring and building activities, as well as demonstrating graduated sizes. Recognizing similarities and differences is an important cognitive skill. Look for sets that differ in unusual ways, such as the number of pouring holes in the bottom of each cup.</p>
<p>Water can do more than pour. Some childrens educational toys demonstrate the mechanical principles of propulsion. Either wind-up or with a pull-string, they move objects through the water. Kids love to watch them zoom around, especially with obstacles to bump. Depending on the method of propulsion, moving bath toys can be noisy &#8211; which might affect their appeal to you and your child. Some children love the sound.</p>
<p>Bubble-making is another fascinating activity. Not just about getting clean, bubbles introduce basic concepts of chemistry and physics. Plain water doesn’t bubble while adding special ingredients creates bubbles. Bubbles are made with air and eventually pop. There are plenty of interesting abstract concepts in a simple bubble bath.</p>
<p>Many different types of childrens educational toys support imaginative play in the bath tub. From animal families to boats, kids will find something to hold their imaginations. Other types include musical toys and art toys. Whether it’s soap crayons or paint, bells or whistles, learning combines with bathtub play. For quiet time in the bath, try reading a waterproof bath book with a baby or toddler.</p>
<p>All childrens educational toys need to be checked regularly for broken pieces. Clean them regularly to prevent the soap scum or mildew buildup, particularly for babies and toddlers who chew on toys.<br />Good bath toys might also save you from that other game &#8211; “soak my parent and see a funny face”. For kids reluctant to take a bath, special toys might even help achieve the primary objective of getting them clean.</p>
