Rants and Raves of a Bum: April 2017

Kids Fair 2017: “Bright! Right From The Start” kicks off last April 21 - 23, 2017 (Friday to Sunday) from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at Megatrade Hall 1, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.

The first ever KIDS FAIR 2017: “Bright! Right From The Start” is an event that sets an environment of learning, discovery, and fun for kids with various activities that could help them improve their creative and thinking skills. From the moment they set foot in the fair, the fun begins – filled with delightful servings of games that stimulate creativity, sportsmanship, and problem-solving skills.

Kids played and won prizes at our game booths; listened to book reading sessions or discovered new books to take home; tried an art craft session and bring out the artist within them; join several exciting workshops that enhances skills and imagination; and explored a bounty of booths from toys, books and sports – to fashion and candies. But wait – this chock-full of a fun fair is not just for kids.

Moms, dads, grandparents, and guardians were definitely in the mix – it’s a family affair. KIDS FAIR actively involves the whole family by helping them learn to provide the proper learning path so kids get the necessary motivation and guidance, a solid foundation that propels them to a better future with careers that give them purpose and a lifestyle of holistic well-being.

Also, celebrities and influencers like “Baeby Baste” of GMA 7; Mommy Vlogger, Ms. Isha Borromeo and other special guests joined this fun-filled event.

A healthy mind needs a healthy body, so the Doctors were in at the KID’S FAIR too. Parents and their kids tried the “Left-brain, Right-brain Dominance Assessment” and find out if their child is either analytical or creative – or maybe even both – an expert in child psychology was there to guide them.

KID’S FAIR aims to promote proper childhood development that fosters joy and harmony at home and in school. We believe that happy, optimistic children are the product of happy, optimistic homes.

ARTISTE SPACE produced and organized KID’S FAIR 2017: “Bright! Right From The Start” to provide a cheerful event for kids and their families while forwarding knowledge on effective childcare and development. Earnestly working to deliver an exceptional KID’S FAIR that exceeds visitor expectations and become a must-attend event for the whole family every year.

Whether you are shipping a care package to a friend overseas who is in the military or moving to a new home, packaging large items can be a challenge and one that should not be taken lightly. This article will provide helpful tips on how to package large items so that they can endure bumps and jostles without causing breakage as well as ideas on how to pack oddly shaped items.

Assess your item. This step is critical as this is where you will decide what is the best way to get your item to where it needs to go. Weight, the cost of the item, regulations, and fragility are all crucial components to consider. The weight of the item will play a significant role in deciding how to package the item as well as what to send it in. The cost of the item needs to be considered as it may be a good idea to purchase insurance in case it becomes lost, missing, or even broken during shipment. Pay close attention to regulations as the item could be prohibited to enter some areas of the world. Many states and countries have policies in place that prohibit items to enter their border due to safety precautions or health related issues.

Choose your packaging. After you have determined the weight, cost, regulations, and fragility of the item, you will need to choose the appropriate packaging. Take into account the material of the box you are using to ship with. Boxes should be made of sturdy corrugated materials for parcels, double or triple wall construction boxes are recommended for fragile and other breakable items. If you are moving a large carton, sometimes it is even necessary to shrink wrap it with plastic or straps for added stabilization.

Pack the item. When packing your item, be sure that you do not have excess empty space around the item. Fill the empty space with plastic air-filled bags or styrofoam peanuts. Always put items in the middle of the box and leave at least 6 centimeters of space between the item and the walls of the box. If you are sending a fragile item, you may want to consider packaging the item alone or use dividers to avoid breakage. Corrugated cardboard dividers work well in this instance.

Seal and label your package. Use tape that is made of cardboard. Avoid tape that is made for crafting. When taping your package, use the H method. Simply tape one strip along the center seam of the box and then tape on either side, creating an H. It is best practice to apply more than one strip of tape on the sides of the box to eliminate the chance of the box opening during shipment.

By using these tips when preparing your next package for shipment, you will not have to worry about your item reaching its destination in the same condition as you sent it. No matter what your shipping needs are, www.packline.com.au can offer solutions that take the stress out of ensuring your items get to where they need to go in a safe manner.

The modern parenting is usually dictated by fear and there are always a few risks that seem to lie around every corner. Most of the common things parents watch out for in their kids include bullying kids, joining a bad crowd, antibiotic-resistant germs, unfair teachers or lurking pedophiles. Sometimes you think of taking them to school by yourself because they came home last evening with bruises, cuts or emotionally hurt. You tend to be overprotective of the kind of friends they should walk with, talk to or play with. There are many reasons why you should give your kids some space to decide other things on their own.

Most parents who are loving towards their children will always find it fairly easy to cope with their strengths and weaknesses whether they share them or not. Your kid could probably crumble in tears when they feel completely overwhelmed by their homework or can't face having a filling at the dentist. All they would want to do is to curl up and sob in a heap. It is important to allow them to do things their own way. As they go through life, they will be in a good position to give up on tough challenges quite happily. It is possible for adults to make themselves miserable by striving for something that they might never achieve in life.

If you have ever met any kind of challenge head on, it is most likely that your child is going through the same. It makes it easy to expect it from them without asking too much about the situation. However, you can always prevent them from going astray by giving examples of what is likely to happen if they take that path. As our kids grow, they tend to have a desire for many things you are seen putting on or perhaps the celebrities. For example, you have gone shopping in a mall and your kid becomes interested in some boots on display. Other parents would want to avoid unnecessary expenses by lying that they are meant for adults. A good parent would know that there are boots for skinny legs that can also fit their children.

Allowing freedom to some degree allows them to grow up maturely. Over time, they will adapt to the current trends and learn to take care of themselves. Kids can also make their own decisions based on what they know it is right for them.

Things your kid should decide for themselves

Play

It is important to allow them to discover their own imaginations as it is a super viral journey for any kid. This means that they should always be encouraged to play as much as possible when they are still young. Refrain from too many instructions on where, when and what they play.

Food

Most kids tend to lack the appetite for at least half of what parents put on their plate. It is a good option that you want to provide your child with healthy meals. However, it is necessary to make them understand that nutritious food can also be delicious. If your kid doesn't love a certain meal, try giving them what they like.

Friends

We are often quick to judge others as adults the fact that we hardly know nothing about them. Kids are somehow different and they are excited to know a person before they can decide anything about them. It is not advisable to choose for them the friends they can play or socialize with. However, it is important to teach them characters of bad friends.
