A healthy mind and a fit body contribute greatly in shaping the golden future of a child. Unless the child is made to practice mental exercises in addition to physical exercises as he grows up, he would eventually experience problems such as mental numbness, forgetfulness, loss of concentration, or a whole lot of serious mental disorders like Alzheimer’s, or dementia as he grows old. Board games such as Chess, Scrabble, or Chinese Checker greatly aid in developing the muscles of the brain because they involve different areas of the brain and engaging in these board games directly contributes towards the sharpening of the brain.

For long, chess has been considered as a game played only by intellectuals and individuals with critical thinking abilities. However, the fact is that chess can be played by people of all age groups and mind sets. Chess is extremely helpful in brain development, particularly when it is played regularly from a very early age. Mentioned below are some of the most important benefits that children can avail by practicing chess on a regular basis –

^Playing the game of Chess on a regular basis right from the childhood improves the learning, thinking, analytical power, and decision-making ability of the child.

^Chess makes the child learn how to strategize aspects of the game and life. In addition, a child can also learn the importance of foresight, and planning.

^Playing the game of Chess on a regular basis right from the childhood teaches the importance of being disciplined in life.
Practicing Chess regularly also aids in improving the self-confidence of the child, which is extremely essential for the child’s growth.

^In the game of chess, a child learns to do a thorough analysis, research, and assessment of the situation before making any decision. Such an exercise provides mental clarity to the child. Mental clarity and mental dexterity is required for solving problems, analyze consequences, and formulate future tactics.

^Children playing chess from an early age exhibit extraordinary memory skills.

^Chess also helps in improving concentration and academic performance of the child.

On a whole, playing the game of chess is essential for transforming a child into a responsible, disciplined, and wise human being.

Five Things To Ask Before Choosing A Babysitter

With so many more mothers in the workforce, the juggling act between children and career has never been so difficult. We want to be there for our children but we have to be able to provide for them as well. Trying to assuage our own guilt for having to do what’s necessary especially in these stressful times, we want to find the very best caregiver for our child. We want some one who will take care of them in our absence in the same way that we would so that we can do what we have to without feeling that our children are missing out on the affection and attention they need.

In days gone by, the sweet faced girl next door who you watched grow up would be only too glad to baby-sit your child and for next to nothing. It seems though, with all the horror stories in the news that those days may be long gone now. Accidental deaths, abusive behaviour and stories of neglect by babysitters are common place in the media now.

It certainly doesn’t help the guilt most mothers already feel when they hear so many worst case scenarios.

Baby cams, a small hidden video device parents use to record a babysitter’s activities while they are caring for their child, are unfortunately a booming business thanks to these horror stories but are there other ways parents can protect their children from babysitters who are not only under qualified but could pose a serious danger to a child they have trusted this person to take care of?

The first thing parents need to remember is that while there certain are babysitters out there who have no business looking after children, there are babysitters out there who they can trust with the care of their child, who love children and would love the opportunity to babysit a child. Perhaps they are working towards a career in education or to prepare them for when they have kids of their own someday. The fact is, these people are out there. So how do parents go about finding them?

The following are some points designed to help parents on their search for the right babysitter for their child. The things you need to know may vary depending on where you find your babysitter.

References
This one is necessary across the board. Sometimes you will find a sweet faced girl next door who is looking for an opportunity to make some money through babysitting. Chances are if she’s in your neighbourhood she may have babysat for other families you may know. Ask them how they find her babysitting skills and if they would recommend her.

Keep It In The Family
For your own peace of mind, your safest bet is probably to look in your own family for any appropriately aged (at least twelve years old though you may find this a problem because of school) nieces or even nephews if they’re interested in babysitting duty. Check with other family members this child might have sat for and ask if they felt she did a good job. Ask the kids she sat for if they had fun with her, if she paid them enough attention or did she just gave them some toys to play with while she watched tv all day?

Older May Be Better
The main disadvantage of a school age babysitter is just that, school. You could find ways to work around the scheduling conflict but you may find it easier to simply go with someone who’s already completed their schooling or whose school hours fit in with your work hours like in the case of flexible college classes. You can check with hospitals or seniors homes where you’ll find personal support workers who are well versed in working with individuals who cannot look after themselves. They often work few hours and are eager to pick up more employment. On the bulletin boards you’ll probably find many ads from personal support workers offering babysitting services. Ask the doctors, nurses or other institutional staff if they can recommend someone. If you find someone who’s interested ask them if they think they could handle the added work load as chasing after a child is quite different from seeing to the needs of an elderly person.

Daycare
Yes, the point is to find a babysitter to work ideally in your home with your child on a one on one basis but if you visit a daycare you may just find that one of the staff might be looking for some extra work. Ask the people they work with if they think this person works well with kids one on one so that you can feel that your child will get the focused attention he deserves.

Temp Agencies
The key to getting a babysitter from a Temporary Placement Agency is references. You want to talk to other families who this person has worked for to get a feel for if they were happy with the babysitter or if there were any incidents that you need to be warned about. Ask the sitter why they choose to work through a temp agency and if they would be willing to take on a more permanent arrangement. The important thing is stability for your child.

No matter which method you choose; try and start a dialogue with your potential babysitter about why they are interested in babysitting and what they hope to get out of it and what they think they can offer your child in terms of attention and care. Ask them about the kinds of activities they have planned and if they have any cooking ability. If you can, give your child sometime with this babysitter while you’re present to gauge how they respond to each other and if you think they are a good fit. It’s important to remember that you’re doing this for your child and that if he’s happy, the less likely he’ll feel resentful of you because he’ll know even though you’re not there; by picking the best person to look after him, you’re looking out for him

Kids and Electronics: How Much is too Much?

When it comes to kids and electronic entertainment, parents have been asking the same question ever since the television was invented: How much is too much? Numerous groups have come up with a solid answer on daily limits based on research. Unfortunately, a majority of kids in almost all age groups are over their daily recommended limit.

Recommended Screen Time:
No more than two hours of entertainment time per day for school-age kids, and no more than one hour per day before school-age. This encompasses basically any electronic device that has a screen on it, including TVs, computers, video games, iPhones, iPads or any other yet-to-be-invented entertainment device. It's also recommended that children under two years of age not be exposed to any screen time, because it can interfere with imaginative play and cognitive development.

Actual Screen Time:
In spite of these recommendations, the actual amount of electronic entertainment time that most kids are getting is over their daily limit. Consider these statistics:

Sixty-six percent of infants and toddlers average two hours per day watching electronic entertainment
American kids under school-age (five and under) average two hours per day, mainly watching television
School-age kids average four hours of television per day, plus an additional two hours of computer time - over and above any computer time used for homework
Potential Consequences
While these scenarios may not apply to every child, research indicates that too much TV time (or other electronic entertainment) is not healthy for your kids. Here are some reasons why:

Violence
Children who watch TV will witness an average of about 200,000 violent acts by the time they're ready to go off to college. This can desensitize them to violence. The heroes on TV shows often resort to violence to solve their problems, which sends a mixed moral message as you're trying to teach your kids to solve problems without hitting.

Alcohol and Smoking
A recent study revealed that the amount of alcohol advertisements viewed by kids increased by 30 percent from 2001 to 2006. Smoking ads have been banned on TV, but kids are still exposed to smoking on many programs. Studies show that children who watch five or more hours of TV per day are much more likely to try ci******es and alcohol.

Health Problems
Watching too much television and other forms of electronic entertainment has been directly linked to obesity in many children. Kids tend to be inactive when they're sitting in front of a screen, and they're bombarded by ads that promote unhealthy snack foods at the same time.

Tips for Healthy Screen Time
That's the bad news. Now, here's the good news. It's usually pretty easy to get kids to limit their electronic entertainment time. It just takes a little more involvement from you as a parent. Here are some suggested tips:

Turn the television off during dinnertime.
Set a good example for children. Read together, play board games, do arts and crafts, or find other non-electronic activities to do together.
Don't put televisions or computers in bedrooms.
Let children earn and appreciate electronic entertainment time. For example, set a rule for no TV or video games until the weekend, and only after homework, chores and school activities for the week have been completed.
