October 24, 2017 by Jackie Edwards Leave a Comment

Pot plants on a table help clean the air

We spend more than 90% of our time indoors, yet how often do we consider the air quality of our homes? Polluted air is often linked to traffic filled streets and coal burning factories, but pollutants released outside will disperse easily. Our homes lock in dirty air and contribute to the onset of asthma and even lung cancer. You can improve wellbeing by spending time in nature, but for when you are home, here are some steps you can take to clean up the air.

Remove Toxic Chemicals

The list of products that pollute the air in your home is endless: cookers, cleaning products, moisturisers and air fresheners all mean that the air indoors is dirtier than outdoors. Luckily, there are natural alternatives for most of these things.

No one learns without failing or making mistakes. Yet, we as parents often forget this universal truth as we raise our children. Instead of pushing them to take risks, experiment and uncover their true potential, we refuse to let them learn from their failures.

However, shielding our children from risks only cripples their ability to learn new skills and prevents them from discovering their innate abilities. It also hinders them from learning how to overcome failure and adapt to change- key attributes required for personal growth.

How to Stop Kids from Oversharing Online

October 5, 2017 by Gal Baras Leave a Comment

Perceptions of oversharing on social media

like any community, there are risks and dangers.

Yet many of them don’t know how oversharing personal information on social media can put them at risk. Cybersecurity experts have found that posting personal information can give hackers the tools they need to answer security questions and gain access to a victim’s profile.

Parents contribute in part to the “oversharing dilemma”. If a child has never been taught the risks of oversharing, they will just see it as normal. This is especially true when all of their friends do it. When adolescents see their friends tweeting their location and posting about their families on Facebook, they will likely behave the same way.

More than ever, parents need to monitor their children and what they are looking at online. Plus, there is the added challenge of talking to kids of all ages about gender roles and discipline in the home.

Eric Gati, the founder of CynicalParent.com, has published the results of a new study that touches on the above subjects. Gati says he “learned a lot in this study, like the fact that there are more than a handful of very common fears that parents have about their kids using smartphones and social media, either from too young of an age or for too many hours per day. We also learned that 98% of parents find it important to monitor this, we were amazed at how conscious parents are of the inherent risks of social media”.

7 Must-Read Tips on How To Beat Procrastination

April 11, 2017 by Nina Gaprioty 2 Comments

Procrastinate now and panic later

Most of us are familiar with the term “procrastination”. It is the habit of delaying tasks to a later date that is commonly seen among youngsters today. It is essential to beat procrastination if you want to achieve your goals and improve your efficiency. There are times when you might have a deadline hanging over your head, yet you continue postponing the task till the last minute. By being so, you are not only decreasing your competence by also curbing your productivity.
