Teaching manners is not
an easy job. It is very difficult job and it is very important because
it will be a life long lesson. It can be done in a step by step manner. Let us begin with two or three small words like “thank you”, “sorry”. While teaching these types of words, we can also use signs along
with this so that children can remember in an easy manner. One thing to
remember that once you introduce manners, just continue to practice it
while you introduce other words and manners. It will be a difficult task
and it takes time, but the young ones are smart enough to catch it. An
important thing to remember is that parents and the elder ones are the
mirror for children. Be a role model good listening by showing that you
are listening your child by imitating and reflecting what your child
says. They will imitate whatever they saw. So always remember to behave
properly in front of little ones. Must have very patience while teaching
a toddler. It is very nice that instead of ordering, try to make choice
for them. Always limit the use of directions and questions. Use
positive terms that tell your child what to do. Use games and playful
language to teach your child to listen. A child resistant behavior
cannot be change in an easy manner. Responding harshly or with criticism
only make their behavior worse. The only thing we can do is be calm and
try to understand in that way they can understand. Remember All kids are Precious! To be considered for Mother Of The Week please send an email to allkidsareprecious@yahoo.com with subject line "Mother of the Week" and a mother will be randomly picked. Good Luck!

Teaching Patience
Patience is a virtue
that can be instilled in children. Patience teaches children the value
of delaying gratification, a skill necessary for maturity. Patience can
help develop the ability to think through and resolve problems; it can
counteract impulsively and acting out behaviors. The value of patience
lies in its ability to lead to inner calm and emotional strength of
character. Teaching patience by example helps children learn resilience,
self-containment, and the ability to self-soothe. These are qualities
needed for emotional maturity. General Tips for Parents on Teaching Patience to Children: Teach by modeling.Refrain from snapping impatiently at your children. Use "no-shaming" techniques to help your child understand that she or he
may need to wait or take some time before a need is addressed or
request is fulfilled. Take time to look at the child and listen carefully when she is talking
to you. Giving your attention even when you are distracted or busy shows
the quality of patience more clearly than words can explain it. And remember All kids are Precious!

Working from home...
Working from home and the limitless flexibility it provides is perfect for me and my daughter.
If I was not working from home I would have to miss all my daughters' milestones. I chose to be a WAHM (work at home mom), so that I would be able to watch her grow, and teach her.
I know that in a school she would not have learned nearly as much as I've taught her in just these 3 years. Why because when I considered school for her, I contacted them and they all said they would put her with the 2-3 year olds. But for me this was unacceptable, because she's already on a Kindergarten-early 1st grade level and they want to put her with the little children that learn through play.
There is nothing wrong with learning through play but I have already been down that road with her, I mean she is reading and writing, knows basic addition and is fluent in 3 different languages. (English, Spanish, and American Sign Language)
Point is, if I had a traditional 9-5 I would not have been able to stay hands on with my daughter when it came to her studies.
So back in 2011 I decided to start my own business on the web, and here are some of the reasons why I decided to go with this special company to help build it:
* It's free to get started.
* Free training and free Website.
* Their parent company has been around since 1985.
* They're in over 190 countries worldwide.
* You can do everything from home on your computer, tablet or smartphone.
* 24-hour support.
* They're growing rapidly and there's lots of money to be made.
*Leveraged Residual Income opportunities.
The list can go on but 2 years in and I am still excelling in my business while still being a great teacher to my beautiful daughter.
And because I love sharing helpful resources with my readers I will also help any of my readers personally start their business. Just click the link below.
Start My Business
Remember All kids are Precious! Until next time...

To lie or not to lie...
So Christmas is coming up and I have been battling with if I should tell my daughter the kid version of Santa Clause, that he was a friendly man that gave gifts to needy etc.
After Christmas is Easter so will I tell her about this Easter Bunny.
Well lets be honest I have already told her that Santa Clause was a very giving man but in no way shape or form is he coming to our house to bring gifts. I tell her that people really close to her that loves her bought her a bunch of gifts. Simple and no need to lie!
And the Easter Bunny I will get to that soon.
But my whole thing is why teach our children not to lie and remain honest, when we are doing all of the lying to them?
We lie about Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, and so much other things, I will not lie to my child.
In my years I have seen many children heart-broken when they find out none of these characters are real. They cry, they have nightmares and it's sad that we as parents allow things like this to hurt our children.
So stay honest and remember All Kids Are Precious!

A proud Mommy!
So my biggest thing with my daughter is spelling, words, sentences etc. Anything that has to do with letters of the alphabet I work on with her everyday.
I usually give my daughter work in every area every day but today I tried a different approach.
I made her do a little writing, and word practice, and set up a spelling test for her to take.
Please keep in mind that my daughter, M'kylee (pronounced mah-ky-lee) is 3 years of age.
The proof is in the pudding...
That being said check out a pic of her spelling test and results below!
She got 27 out of 30 words right!
I am definitely a proud mommy, she amaze me in a different way every day. Stay smart baby!
Knowledge is Power.

Kids never cease to amaze me!
I have been surfing the web and came across this story about a little 9 year old boy that becomes Nigeria’s youngest Microsoft certified professional.
What?
This gives me so much hope for what my daughter may be capable of doing in a few years.
This little boy is definitely a good example for other young children because even at a young age he did not give up. He failed the first attempt and did what he had to do to pass the second time around!
Let's give a round of applause to Jomiloju Tunde-Oladipo !
Great job!

What is this new thing?
So my daughter is entering this scream and cry stage.
If she does something and I send her to time out, she sits there and scream "NO!"
Arrgh, what is this new thing?
I do not like it at all, and it's freaking me out every time because she does it differently.
What actually makes this worse is that she is starting to do this in front of visitors, and it is kind of embarrassing.
But a thinking mommy always come up with a good idea.
What have I started doing, since shes' started this screaming and "NO!" thing.
Well, I now sit her in a quiet room with a book and tell her to read. She loves looking for words she knows, so she actually enjoys her reading time spurts. Now instead of time-out, with no progress I get her to calm down and to read at one time. After she read, I ask her to acknowledge her behavior and apologize and I tell her why/how what she did was no good.
Amazing thinking on my behalf to switch it up a bit, but I'm sure there's much more to come.
So at least I'm thinking of new ways of discipline. Yay smart momma!
Remember that even though they misbehave that "All Kids are Precious."
