25 phrases to encourage a child

If there is one thing we need to instill in children today is a sense of love and self-worth, for only when they learn to love themselves and treasure the unique little person that they are, can they love and appreciate others.

Much of what a child learns about himself comes from his parents and his child care provider. It is the place where children spend the most of their time that, like these lines of the poem of the unknown author says,

Children Learn What They Live
If a child lives with encouragement
He learns confidence
If a child lives with praise
He learns to appreciate
If a child lives with approval
He learns to like himself
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
He learns to find love in the world

Here are twenty five phrases parents and providers can use to encourage a child – to tell him or her what a wonderful little person they are.

1 You’re beautiful.
2. I’m proud of you.
3. I knew you could do it.
4. You’re so kind.
5. You’re beary special.
6. Aren’t you smart.
7. You’re outstanding.
8. You try so hard.
9. Good work!.
10.You are marvelous.
11. Way to go sunshine.
12. You’re wonderful.
13. Well look at you.
14. I love you.
15. You’ve done a great job.
16. You’re smile brightens my day.
17. Thank you for being my buddy.
18. I think you’re terrific.
19. What would a do without you.
20. You make me so happy.
21. What a nice thing you did.
22. You’re the love of my life.
23. You do the nicest things.
24. You make the world a special place.
25. I’m so happy you’re my son, daughter, friend.

Parents, tale the time to listen to what goes on at you child care facility. You could learn a lotabout the type of environment your child is in. Do the children sound happy? Are the teacher’s voices cheerful? Are they encouraging? Do you ever hear the provider praise your child or tell him or her how special they are? If you like what you hear, tell your provider how special she is, what a wonderful job she is doing, how she makes all your lives brighter. Your child learns by example. And, of course, your provider will certainly appreciate your kind words.

Last time we brought baby alex to the hospital due to her asthma… I can really see in her eyes that she is not in condition. she always cry….

What Is Asthma?
Asthma affects a person’s bronchial tubes, also known as airways. When a person breathes normally, air is taken in through the nose or mouth and then goes into the trachea (windpipe), passing through the bronchial tubes, into the lungs, and finally back out again. But people with asthma have airways that are inflamed. This means that they swell and produce lots of thick mucus. They are also overly sensitive, or hyperreactive, to certain things, like exercise, dust, or cigarette smoke. This hyperreactivity causes the smooth muscle that surrounds the airways to tighten up. The combination of airway inflammation and muscle tightening narrows the airways and makes it difficult for air to move through.

In most people with asthma, the difficulty breathing happens periodically. When it does happen, it is known as an asthma flare-up also known as an asthma attack, flare, episode, or exacerbation.

A person having an asthma flare-up may cough, wheeze (make a whistling sound while breathing), be short of breath, and feel an intense tightness in the chest. Many people with asthma compare a flare-up to the sensation of trying to breathe through a straw – it feels extremely hard to get air in and out of their lungs. An asthma flare-up can last for several hours or longer if a person doesn’t use asthma medication. When an asthma flare-up is over, the person usually feels better.

Between flare-ups, a person’s breathing can seem completely normal, or a person may continue to have some symptoms, such as coughing. Some people with asthma feel as if they are always short of breath. Other people with the condition may only cough at night or while exercising and they may never have a noticeable flare-up.

What Causes It?
No one knows exactly what causes asthma. It’s thought to be a combination of environmental and genetic (hereditary) factors. A teen with asthma may have a parent or other close relative who has asthma or had it as a child. Teens who are overweight may be more likely to have asthma, although a person doesn’t have to be overweight to have it.

Asthma isn’t contagious, so you can’t catch it from someone who has it.

Asthma symptoms can be brought on by dozens of different things, and what causes asthma flare-ups in one person might not bother another at all. The things that set off asthma symptoms are called triggers. The following are some of the common triggers:

Allergens.Some people with asthma find that allergens – certain substances that cause an allergic reaction in some people – can be a major trigger. Common allergens are dust mites (microscopic bugs that live in dust), molds, pollen, animal dander, and cockroaches.

Airborne irritants and pollutants. Certain substances in the air, such as chalk dust or smoke, can trigger asthma because they irritate the airways. Cigarette smoke is a major cause of asthma symptoms, and not just for smokers – secondhand smoke can trigger asthma symptoms in people who are around smokers. Scented products such as perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning solutions can trigger symptoms, as can strong odors from fresh paint or gasoline fumes. And some research studies have found that high levels of air pollutants such as ozone may irritate the sensitive tissues in the bronchial tubes and can possibly aggravate the symptoms of asthma in some people with the condition.

Exercise. Some people have what’s called exercise-induced asthma, which is triggered by physical activity. Although it can be especially frustrating, most cases of exercise-induced asthma can be treated so that people can still enjoy the sports they love.

Weather. Cold or dry air can sometimes trigger asthma symptoms in certain people, as can extreme heat or humidity.

Respiratory tract infections. Colds, flu, and other viral infections can trigger asthma in some people.

There are lots of other things that can trigger asthma symptoms in people with the condition. For example, a girl’s asthma can get worse just before her period. And even laughing, crying, and yelling can sometimes cause the airways to tighten in sensitive lungs, triggering an asthma flare-up.

Benefits of Breast feeding

Why breastfeeding is a great option for both baby and mom.

The health Boost.

Breastfed babies have lower rates of infant mortality, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), childhood cancers, allergies, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, diarrhea, asthma, Crohn’s disease, and other chronic and acute diseases. For the mother, breastfeeding reduces the risk of cancers of the reproductive system, including premenopausal breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Daughters who were nursed have much lower rates of both pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer. After weaning, mothers have improved bone remineralization, which lowers the risk of hip fractures as they age.

Weight loss made esier.

While you’re pregnant, your body plans to breastfeed, whether you plan to or not. In anticipation, it creates additional breast tissue and five to 15 pounds of fat stores to enrich your milk and fuel its production. For nursing mothers, this fat often melts away the first few months after birth. Ande Bloom, RD, tells us, “The human body provides free postpartum weight-loss help. It takes about 500 calories a day to build and maintain a milk supply. For overweight women and mothers who want to lose their pregnancy pounds, breastfeeding can be an effective aid to weight loss.”

Because your body needs to recuperate, health-care professionals caution against trying to lose weight until about two months after birth. At that point, nursing mothers can lose additional weight safely by eating a balanced diet, reducing fat and empty calories, and increasing activity levels. If you’re breastfeeding, avoid long-term fasting and diets that greatly restrict calories or food choices, which can sap energy and compromise your milk supply. A safe rate of weight loss for a nursing mother is one-half to one pound per week. However, some health-care professional don’t recommend any sort of dieting while breastfeeding. Check with your own doctor or midwife.

Miracle Mood lifter.

Perhaps the least reported but most pleasant benefits of breastfeeding are the calmness, self-esteem, and confidence it fosters. Adding a new baby to your household is stressful, even in the best of circumstances. The two hormones associated with nursing and milk production, oxytocin and prolactin, have a soothing effect on the mother. Nursing your baby can be a transcendent experience where body, mind, and soul unite. And for those of us with less than perfect bodies, breastfeeding is an act of self-acceptance and affirmation. Meeting your baby’s needs through breastfeeding boosts your confidence as a mother, which helps you make other parenting decisions.

All investments we make in our health and fitness come with challenges, and breastfeeding is no different. The rewards, however, are great. Healthier mothers, healthier children, and the wonderful sense of confidence, well-being, and satisfaction that accompany breastfeeding are worth the effort.

 

4 ways to breastfessding success

The key to surviving the first few months of breastfeeding is having support. Here’s how to get it.

1. Find a lactation consultant. A lactation consultant provides instruction for women preparing for breastfeeding or during breastfeeding. Among other things, she can help with technique, positioning, breast care, and nutrition counseling. Request to meet with one at your hospital, ask your obstetrician to refer you to a certified consultant, or find one through the International Lactation Consultant Association (ilca.org or 919-787-5181).

2. Join a support group. Other nursing mothers can be a great source of inspiration, information, and camaraderie. Ask your lactation consultant if she holds support groups.

3. Get your partner involved. Make sure your partner knows he is an essential part of making breastfeeding work. Tell him specifically what he can do to enable you to nurse more easily, such as preparing meals, grocery shopping, keeping the house tidy, and, especially, giving you emotional support.

4. Rally family and friends. When loved ones come to visit, ask them to bring groceries or prepared food or to do a load of laundry. Most people are searching for ways to be helpful and will be glad you asked.
