Things You Can Do To Help Your Child With Their Educational Future

Leave a comment

School and education in general are a necessary part of growing up for our children. You may be considering homeschooling or checking out all the different options of schooling and education available to your child, and often those early years can seem quite daunting. There is a level of expectation that you can and will do all you can to ensure that your child gets the very best out of the hours spent in a school environment. We hope that they can learn as much as they can and then as they get older, they can feel confident in their choices to move on to further education. 

Education isn’t just about the school setting. There are so many ways you can incorporate learning into everyday life and teach things that they just can’t get in a classroom. Life lessons and education that will help them thrive as an adult is just as important as well. As a parent, you will want to do what you can to help them with their educational future. With that in mind, here are some of the things you could consider.

Is Doing Your Best Enough To Be A Parent?

2 Comments

One of the things that you often hear people say when things don’t go their way is that they did their best. We’re told from a young age that all you can do is your best and that nobody can expect anything more from you, but is that true when you are a parent? Your kids need you to be your best for them as often as you can so that they have a good example growing up, but it’s true when people say that the most important thing is doing the best that you can. Let’s look at how you can do this.

  • Always Show Up

Best Tips For Healing After a C-Section

3 Comments

Six years ago today, I delivered my third child thru a C-Section. She is now 6 years old growing healthy and cheerful.

Whether your c-section is planned or unplanned, it’s likely that you already know that recovery time is important. What you do during your recovery could be the difference between a slow recovery and a quick one. C-section recovery often takes a lot longer than recovery from a natural birth because it involves major surgery.

If you want to get back on your feet as quickly as possible, here are some of the best tips.

Physical Activity

Although you’ll need to rest completely for at least twenty-four hours after surgery, it can help to start moving around as soon as possible.

You’ll find that laughing and coughing may cause some pulling or discomfort near your incision. It can help ease pain if you hold a cushion to your incision when you need to cough or laugh.
