Não espere do seu filho o que ele não pode fazer.

Einstein saying We all know that parents want the very best for their children.
They spare no effort and sacrifices to provide quality of life for them, such as good education, sports, music, health, travel, toys, etc.
Sometimes, in their eagerness to see them winners, parents demand from children the same dose of commitment and achievement.
However, it is important to consider that each individual is unique and has its strengths and weaknesses.
We can not expect a child who has little skill in a particular area to be able to demonstrate competence in it.

On the other hand, with training, specific exercises, patience and routine, we can achieve good results in the medium term.
What matters is to create them with love, attention and dedication.

One fell off and bumped his head

And Mr. Crocodile is as fat as he can be! “

 

 Little frogsFive little speckled frogs

“ Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious grubs – yum, yum
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs – glub, glub.
Four little speckled frogs ………….. Three……….Two………
One little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious grubs – yum, yum
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are no green speckled frogs – glub, glub.”

“ Five little ducks went out to play

Over the hills and far away

Mama duck called quack, quack, quack quack

Mama duck called quack, quack, quack quack

And all her five little ducks came back! “

Bees Here is the beehive where are the Bee’s?

Here is the beehive
But where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Look and you’ll see them
Come out of the hive,
One, Two, Three, Four, Five.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Leia esse diálogo entre 3 amigos em um bar e aprenda algumas da slangs (gírias) usadas em conversas entre homens.

Tom: Dude! I haven’t seen you for ages! How are you doing?

Andy: I’m doing great. It’s good to see you again. What have you been up to lately?

Tom: Nothing much. You know, the job, the wife, the kids, the dog, lots of responsibility. Still, it’s a good life I lead. Nothing to complain about.

Andy: I’m glad to hear it. Have you seen Peter lately?

Tom: Speak of the devil! Here he comes now!

Andy: No, you’re kidding … You’re right. There he is! Well, this is my lucky day. First I see my roommate from college, and then here comes our favorite drinking buddy.

Tom: Yeah, Peter’s quite the party animal. Seems like the gods are trying to tell us something. I think we need to hang five together.

Peter: Hey dudes! What’s up? Long time no see!

Andy: You can say that again. What have you been doing lately?

Peter: Oh you know, twiddling my thumbs. I haven’t really done much of anything for the last few weeks.

Tom: That can’t be true. You were always a kick in the pants. I can’t imagine you’ve been domesticated.

Peter: No, no, I’m still single. I’m just mellowing out in my old age.

Andy: Ha! That doesn’t sound like you. Hey, let’s go to a bar.

Peter, Tom: Sounds like a good idea…

(three hours later somewhere in a bar)

Tom: Dudes, I have to get going. I need to conk out. Tomorrow’s another day.

Andy: Why would you want to leave now?! We’re feeling no pain!

Tom: Right, but tomorrow I’ll be feeling plenty of pain right between the eyes!

Andy: (lets out a belly laugh) Come on, just hang around and shoot the breeze.

Peter: Yeah, at least one more for the road.

Tom: OK, OK, you’ve convinced me.

Andy: Name your poison.

Tom: I’ll have a whisky sour.

Peter: Make that two, bartender.

Tom: So Peter, what about your presentation tomorrow?

Peter: Oh that, yeah. I guess I’ll have to wing it. I’m not going to get any work done tonight.

Tom: That’s our party animal.

Andy: Party on, dudes!

 

4 Formas de entreter seus baixinhos enquanto vc cozinha

Toddlers in the Kitchen

How do they move so fast?

 

With a curious, busy 18 month old , the idea of actually preparing a meal without suffering serious property damage or charring the meal in the process can be daunting.

But by taking advantage of your toddler’s curiosity, desire for sensory stimulation, growing motor skills, and budding imagination, you can keep your child entertained, engaged, and right by your side while you work in the kitchen.  Here are four simple ideas to get you started:

 

washing

1.  Do the Dishes:

Set your child up with a safe chair or step stool at the kitchen sink.  Add a little soap and water to the basin and give your child a few utensils to play with in the water.  Turn the faucet on to a slow drip to create more interest.  Once you’re done cooking, your sink will be ready for your dishes!  (Tips: Make sure there’s nothing near the sink that shouldn’t end up in it.  We are talking about toddlers here!  Also, I’ve learned by sad, soggy experience that anything that can hold water will be filled and likely dumped out onto the floor.  Measuring spoons, whisks, and spatulas work best here!)

2.  Get Cookin’:

Let your little one play along.  A small saucepan with a wooden spoon along with a plastic measuring cup for pouring will do the trick.  Sometimes an empty pot will do, other times you may need a little play food, water, dry pasta, or craft pompoms for pouring and stirring.  My little guy has also enjoyed having canned food around to pretend to pour in, or simply to place in the pot whole!

3.  Pull Out the Pans:

Your kitchen cupboards are full of fascinating containers!  Muffin tins and measuring cups are often toddlers’ favorites!  Add those with loose parts to manipulate and move from one container to the next.  (Note that this, as well as the other activities, assume that you are supervising closely as you work side by side in the kitchen.)  Items that work well for this activity include unifix cubes (above), craft pom poms, small crackers, cereal, or dry pasta.  You could also add in some tongs for another level of fun experimentation.

4. Fill Up a Bin:

Keep a flat storage bin and a drop cloth handy for some sensory play in your kitchen.  Using media like colored rice, dry pasta, craft pompoms,  or shredded paper, along with a few scoops, plastic figures, and/or toy cars will keep your child engaged and entertained so long you might start making gourmet meals!  Teach your child boundaries for sensory play by using these tips.  When  you’re done, hopefully the bulk of the mess will be on the drop cloth, and you can simply fold it all together and shake it back into the bin.

What do you do to keep toddlers entertained while you cook?
