Nowadays, children are very aggressive and I’m scared how will the world be when they become adults. I wonder if we stand a change in their world, where every conflict is resolved with threats, cursing, uppercuts. It’s not my intention to create an apocalyptic vision cause it already exists. Look kinder gardens, schools and highschools. Aren’t you scared of what your kids tell you? Oh, ofcourse, you don’t have time to talk to them..sorry. You are too busy thinking at your own future, but what will happen with the one who will create tomorrow - the kid?! It is known every kid is aggresive sometimes. It’s known for a fact that those under age of four are the most aggresive creatures on the planet - bite, punch, kick, push, throw with objects- because they are frustrated of their lack of ability to control the environment and their own actions, they don’t have the power or the ability to say loud and clear what they want. But, just because this is considered normal for this age, doesn’t mean you have to just let it like that! Even from this age, we have to help our kids to learn how to control their emotions different from animals. But what do we do? We have fun and answer in the same way (verbal/physical aggresivity) and then we are amazed we have aggresive kids, who always get complains from their garden or school.

When the children is malfunctioning and kick, push, curse, hurt the others, take care to:

• act immediatly - tell him on a severe tone - ‘no biting/kicking/etc’ abd under no circumstance, don’t hit him, don’t react in the same way, because you will only make his behavior to get worse
• take a break - on a chair or in his room (not behind closed doors, tough), to make him think what he did wrong. Eventually, you take away a right from him - his favourite tv show for example

When it comes to smoke, babies are the most sensitive. Disease caused by ciggs’ smoke are severe, even from his intrauterine life. Gave up smoking*!

Unfortunately, and these are real numbers, every year half of the babies inhale smoke and every 8 seconds, a pasiv smoker dies. I challenge you to remember how many times you left your kid close to a chamber full of smoke or even a smoker; how many times, even you as a smoker parent, got close to your baby after smoking a ‘well deserved’ cigar!

Pasive smoking represents involuntary inhalation of smoke. Chances to develop a lung disease or respiration diseas increase with every cigar you smoke close to non smokers. If adults have enough freedom to choose the environment they want to leave in, kids have to follow parents’ decisions. In this case, you - as a parent - are the only one that has control over your baby’s health. You need to make sure that your home is smoke-free and proper ventilated. In case you have guests that are smokers, try and explain them smoking harms the baby, even if they are in the same room with you or not. If smoking can not be avoided, better schedule the meeting at a restaurant without the kids.

Risks
Babies are, by far, the most sensitive because their body is in full development process. Repeated inhalation of smoke can lead to asthma, breathing difficulties, otitides as well as irritation of nose, neck, chest and eyes, headaches, nausea or concentration problem.
What happens with the pregnant mothers that don’t have enough care of their own body, neither the fetus’?
These need to know that passive smoking increase chances of premature birth or imminent abortion. To these add a few other problems like birth malformations, small weight at birth, even death of the baby before birth.

Sudden death Syndrom
Many of the effects smoking has to the babies turn into causes of sudden death syndrom that appears, in most cases, at babies younger than 6 months. In most cases, babies die during sleeping without any warning whatsoever. Studies made to this syndrom show that one of the 4000 substances cygar has can damage baby’s brain, stopping it from working correct!
You need to figure out as a (future) parent you have responsabilities and one of them is providing your baby a healthy environment.

Some wacko British scientists think they can get rich by selling some useless plastic. They told they would get out a hair test that can detect breast cancer in a ‘few months’. Basically, the test shows everyone they’re positive , which is effective afterall cause they will go to a doctor.

Trials on 800 women have shown it is about 80 per cent accurate. But British experts questioned the accuracy of the test which shows a high number of false positive results.
It could miss cancer in people with the disease but give a false positive in healthy women, Dr Alison Ross, of Cancer Research UK, said!

Briliant!

Aquarius Children

Small aquarius are calm and cautios childrens. Altough rarely exuberant and extrovert, they are still very attached to

their family and friends. Instinctively, they get around fights

and dispute risking to be considered disinterested. It is nothing near that, which is the reason they are very hard to be understood, they are misterious and eccentric and often isolate themselves from relatives and friends, instead of fighting for their ideas and feelings.

So they need to be raised with extra care, because even if they don’t show they need

communication and patience, it’s exactly the oposite. More of because they are young, they’re convinced the people surounding them don’t understand or take them seriously they keep their problems secret. As a parent, you need to understand the little aquarious considers you different and he keeps the distance because they do not want to have a dispute with you. He is attracted to brain games, nature and animals, sometimes football or ball-games or even bicycle. It’s important for those to steer curiosity. He dreams to become an explorer, arheologist, to uncover new territories or things.
