Ok, I always knew that, but now I could confirm that.
A study conducted in Norway with 250.000 men says that first child has about 2.3 points higher IQ.
The reasons could be many, but seems to be a social not a biological situation:
"Older siblings might have a higher IQ because they act as surrogate parents from time to time, tutoring their younger siblings in certain situations."
"Another possible explanation is that parents have more time and resources to invest in their firstborn child. As a result of this, the eldest child usually has the most one-on-one time with its parents, and receives greater exposure to their sophisticated vocabulary."
So, tell me? Are you the first one? Are you smartest?
Por razoes obvias, os videos sao restritos apenas a amigos e familiares. O ideal seria que voces criassem uma conta no Youtube e me adicionassem como amiga, para que eu posso dar permissao para voces verem todos os videos.
This tip is for parents and teachers. Ok, maybe you could like it too. I do.
I found a huge list of Freeware Software for children.
Would you like to create your own Camelot? Or maybe Origami Dragons? Teach fire safety? Learn Sign Language with Billy Bear? Learn Geometry? Save frogs solving Algebra Equations? And so many other things...
You can keep your children busy for a long time... And you too...
I always want to print
my pictures as posters or canvas. Wallhogs brought to me this
opportunity with more features than I was expecting.
I can print my pictures
and paintings using reusable vinyl. They can be applied to a wall and
if don't like the result, you can move it. You can remove it and
store it to place it elsewhere in the future. And don't worry, it
will not damage the wall surface when removed.
Also, they offer the
opportunity to earn some money with my pictures. They have
partnership with photographers: you can upload your pictures to
Wallhogs Catalog and when your work gets sold, you get paid. Well,
I'll love to know that a photo I've taken is on someone's walls.
And, of course, I'll
start with my own house. My living room has no life, no colours... What
do you think about this picture for a canvas?
They also do special
handling and cutting with the picture. For example, I can ask them to
cut out the flower from the sky background.
Well, use your
imagination, you can decorating your kids rooms, offices, personalize
your business , anywhere there is a wall, with your own art.
Oh... you don't have
your own photos or graphics? This is not a problem. They have a
catalogue with pictures for your to choose.
Print big - Your idea
printed in the size of your imagination.
When Andre was a little baby and I was returning to work, I had a hard time with breastfeed, milk collection, and storage.
I did it for 2 months and gave up because I couldn't find a comfortable pump that met my needs.
Now I found this website, with several types of pumps. I speccially like Ameda Breast Pump, small, lightweight pump designed to meet the needs of breastfeeding mothers that return to work. I hope it could help you.
Recently, I was talking
about Tracking Our
Teen Drivers, pros and cons, and a how hard is for parents
find a balance when the subject is child safety.
And here is another
example:
SnoopStick is a USB
flash drive type device that allows you to monitor what your kids is
doing while on the Internet. And, you can monitor them live, in real
time, from anywhere in the world.
Simply plug the SnoopStick into the
computer you want to monitor. Then run the setup program to install
the SnoopStick monitoring components on the computer. The whole
process takes less than 60 seconds.
Any time you want to
see what web sites your kids are visiting, who they are
chatting with, and what they are chatting about, simply plug in your
SnoopStick to any Windows based computer with an Internet connection
and a USB port.
You can monitor both
sides of IM conversations in real time or tell SnoopStick to display
recent activity.
You can check the sender and recipient of every
email sent or received.
So, why do we need to
educate and teach our children if we can control them?
Lots of parents want
to know where their teenagers are at any given time. Now they can.
New gadgets can let parents know every time their children drive too
fast or go somewhere they shouldn't.
Parents can receive immediate input to counsel
their teens on safe driving habits and hopefully avoid tragic
accidents. Or, maybe, they will be able to locate missing children
without time delays.
But, parents need to consider some points first.
Yes, teenage drivers are at a higher risk for being in a car crash.
Here are some the main reasons:
Lack of driving experience
A tendency to
take risks while driving
Feeling of invincibility
These 3
things combined are a deadly combination.
How a GPS tracking
system could help parents:
Know where your teens are at all times.
Keep an eye on your teens driving habits.
Peace of mind for you.
Most importantly, the safety of your child.
We have to admit that sometimes
teen
tracking
is the only solution.
But, keeping track of
what teenagers are up to without being too intrusive can be a
challenge for parents.
Showing love and
concern and giving teenagers choices rather than controlling what
they do and knowing every detail of their movements is most
important. The right way for a parent to be aware of what their teen
is doing is to start taking an interest in their social lives before
they’re old enough to drive. In my opinion, technology is no
replacement for good communication.
And you? What do you
think? Should we use tracking devices?
There can be many
rewards from running your own business but there can also be many
problems. One of the key ways of minimising risk is to do some
planning before you commit yourself to self-employment and find what
do you want to do.
St. Johns County, located just south of
Jacksonville in Northeast Florida, is one of the highest-income
counties in the United States. With beautiful beaches, lush nature
preserves, historical attractions, and large estate homes, fantastic
public school
system, St. Johns County real estate is hotter than ever.
Developers are building some of the most popular neighborhoods in
North East Florida like Palencia and Nocatee. Homes for sale in St
Johns County are bringing in buyers from all across the country.
So,
that's the tip for those who live in Florida: search for Jacksonville
townhouses near A schools in St Johns County. To help you,
you could go to the page map
and choose a County to view the locations of the schools on a Google
Map. You can see the schools grade by color code.
One of the main reason why St Johns County homes
are so popular is the public school system. With one of the best
public school systems in the state, its easy to understand why
parents are buying homes in St Johns County for the schools. Also in
St Johns County is a wonderful college, Flagler College, one of
“America’s Best College Buys” and one of the Princeton Review’s
“Best 357 Colleges,” it is located in St. Augustine, adding an
academic feel to the city.
At first glance, the R.C. Color Bug seems like a great idea and a fun product for young kids. Plug a marker into the top of the remote-controlled bug, set it on a big sheet of paper and they can doodle away without having to stop bouncing off the walls long enough to sit down.
But then it dawns on you that "art surfaces" can and probably will quickly grow to encompass your new white carpet, your leather sofa, and pretty much any other flat surface in your house.
Luckily, it's not launching until September, giving you eight months to gird your loins and coat your entire house in vinyl. Also, given that they are likely to receive a patent on the entire concept "radio-controlled art," expect there to be many more of these things in the works.
"An article at the Radar lists the ten most dangerous toys of all time, those treasured playthings that drew blood, chewed digits, took out eyes, and, in one case, actually irradiated. To keep things interesting, the editors excluded BB guns, slingshots, throwing stars, and anything else actually intended to inflict harm." My favorite: 'Feed Me!' begged the packaging for 1996's Cabbage Patch Snacktime Kid. And much like the carnivorous Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, the adorable lineup of Cabbage Patch snack-dolls appeared at first to be harmless. They merely wanted a nibble--a carrot perhaps, or maybe some yummy pudding. They would stop chewing when snack time was done -- they promised. Then they chomped your child's finger off."
It was half term and would be really hard for me deal with
this two boys here, all day long, while doing my interviews by phone. Yes, I’m
looking for a job: A flexible job, maybe part time, in a company with nursery.
Am I asking too much? Not really. Here they really think
about working mums. Almost all companies have nurseries and some kind of
flexible work for mums.
I just did interviews by phone until now, and it was a big
challenge for me, I still can’t understand what British people say with their strong
accent. Next week, starts my “live” interviews.
Andre really liked this kid’s camp. It was in a big gym
in a walking distance from our home.
This week he went for an After School Club. Of course, if I
go back to work I have to find a place for him. They left Infant School at 3:30, and “walkers” take the children to the
after school club (in fact, this after school club is in another school, JuniorSchool, just behind my fence). It is really funny; these lady walkers use ropes to keep the
children together. I will try to take a picture next week to show you.
Today we went to a pub for dinner, and as a Geek Father,
Renato said: “Every time I go to a pub I feel like Arthur Dent”. For those who
don’t know Arthur Dent, he is a character in the Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers
Guide to the Galaxy. Yep… he is geekier than me…and proud of it.
And, as a Geek Kid, Andre will use glasses. Yes,
confirmed. He has myopia in his right eye… I just can’t wait to see him with
glasses… Of course I will put pictures here. ( False Alarm, he probably will use glasses, but not now. Although, he is in the limit)
Filipe loves mash banana. When I offer him other meals, he
always rejects, he just wants mash banana… just like his mum, who loves banana…
And, as a Geek Baby, he likes to talk to everyone using instant messages. Ok,
probably he doesn’t know what he is typing, but, he loves to type, and he loves
computers. In fact, I guess he knows all my passwords, he pay too much
attention when I am typing it.
And me, as a Geek Mum, here I am, at 1:30a.m., breastfeeding and blogging…
The Classic Life Magazine has been online since Jan 2003. It was created to provide a place for families to come and get information, as well as make new friends. Blog Objectives: provide tips and insight into living the life of a classic modern family.
Have children is
extremely educational. I realized that
my understanding of the world after have kids have been full of new
discovers.
When you have kids, you start to see the world completely
different.
For example, when you go shopping or out for dinner. First you
looked to see clothes, shoes,
nice restaurants and bars, now you
are looking for disabled ramps, baby facilities, and kid’s
menu.
When you drive, you don’t like high speed anymore. In fact, you
drive slowly, so that way, your baby‘ll fell sleep.
Do you think people who make
children’s programmes on TV like Telettubies and Barney don’t know what they
are doing? Wrong. They really know what they are doing. You can try to put your
baby in front a television to watch one of those shows. He’ll eat anything you
put near his mouth.
Are you thinking about give a gift to some kid? Maybe you could
give a robot, or a remote control car, or the new Barbie doll. Wrong. The best
toy they’ve ever had could be a TV’s cardboard box or a plastic spoon.
Ok, maybe you are wondering: So, how can parents
have some fun with a 5-years-old and a 5-month-old? With anything. Have small
children is the best excuse ever to do everything you wanted to do and couldn’t
since you are a grown one:
- play with remote controlled
trains
- pretend you
are a Jedi
- free your
internal child
-
- visit
Legoland
- make funny
faces
- visit the Zoo
- collect
leaves
- bounce for a
while
- enjoy a book
club
- laugh of
yourself
- play kid's
games
- sing
songs
- get a
ride
-
cook something
- act a
play
- un dust your
telescope
-
go out for a walk
- talk to the
animals
- make funny
noises
- enjoy
cartoon movies,
- take your time in a toyshop,
- visit a fire station,
- plan a treasure hunt,
- do magic tricks,
- build a fort with sofa’s cushion,
- throw pennies into the fountain and make a
wish.
Ok, I know Andre is the cutest boy ever, I know Filipe is the cutest baby ever… but that’s
my opinion.
Now, I found this website: Rate My Baby
Pics, where everybody can vote in my baby Lipe pictures.
Also, the website has forums to discuss mum’s tips and
advices, free message boards and your baby can win prizes in the free monthly
contests.
Whether you’re looking for information on pregnancy and parenting or
modeling and pageantry, the website offers a diverse and interesting source
of information for parents.
