During last three weeks, “Happy Parenting” was still focusing on Early Childhood Education and discussed the following topics. Here we would like to share with all of you.

“How to Help Your Child Get Ready for Kindergarten”

Kindergarten is the foundation for all future learning and where the love of learning begins. When parents choose to enroll your child in a kindergarten, be sure your child is developmentally appropriate. Parents should not only just assess your child in an academic emphasis but also emotional and social readiness.

“Is the Montessori Approach Right for Your Child?”

We as parents know that a right preschool for our children is crucial because preschoolers learn a lot and prepare for their future life. Parents want to help preschoolers to start on a lifetime journey of being in love with learning.

From the post of “Review of the Most Popular Preschools”, we know that the Montessori Approach is one of the most popular preschool systems in U.S. Since by now there are over 5,000 schools in the U.S, Montessori schools are also found in North and South American countries, throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. We would like to share more about it with parents who are interesting to find a right preschool for their child.

In “Healthy Life”, we are discussing on low fat diet trying to learn how to stay healthy.

“Low Fat Food Tips”

We have heard that too much fat in our diet can increase our risk of developing disease. But how much is too much?

“Common Low Fat Foods List for Your Everyday Healthy Eating”

Balance, variety and moderation form the basis for a healthy diet. We need a varied diet includes many different foods because no single food supplies all our needed nutrients. A balanced diet includes appropriate amounts of grains, vegetables, fruits, protein source, such as, milk-based foods, fish, meat and other alternatives, to supply the right amount of calories and nutrients for us. Calorie needs vary depending on our age and activity level. Moderation means carefully selecting foods to get the right amount of calories, fat and other nutrients we need.

Eating a healthy low fat diet is a great way to avoid excess fat intake and reduce the risk of heart disease and other illnesses while lowering caloric intake resulting in losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight. Here we list the common low fat foods for your everyday healthy eating.

“How Can Parents Help Your Young Child to Build Pre-Writing Skills”

Like reading, writing is another basic skill, which lays the foundation for children’s future success. In addition to help your child form a good reading habit, parents should observe your child’s learning stage and support your child to develop writing skills properly. Children usually learn to print first. However, they are not able to write well until they have developed good fine-motor skills, we call them pre-writing skills.
http://www.parents-and-kids.com/blog/en/2009/03/how-can-parents-help-your-young-child-to-build-pre-writing-skills/

“Fine Motor Development Milestones”

Use the following fine motor development milestones based on age groups as a general guideline to assess your child’s fine motor skills and help your child develop healthily in his or her early childhood.
We suggest parents to ask the following questions while you access your child’s fine motor skills.
http://www.parents-and-kids.com/blog/en/2009/04/fine-motor-development-milestones/

“How Can Parents Help Your Child Learn to Write”

Children usually learn to write print first and move on to handwriting at third or fourth grade and then they start to write essays. Each child is different, parents should not be rush and push your child too hard. Always remember, happy learners learn fast. Parents’ main aim should be to help your child be a happy learner.

In “Parents Place”, we are learning how to manage healthy cholesterol levels and fat.

“Exercises for Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol Levels”

There are many types of exercises we can do from low-impact exercises to high-impact exercises and all have shown some benefit in keeping our body fit and our cholesterol levels normal. Even if you already have imbalance cholesterol levels, exercise still can be very helpful in preventing your cholesterol levels from getting worse. There has been a lot of research shows that there is a positive relationship between cholesterol and exercise and certain types of exercises are more effective to control healthy cholesterol levels than others.

“Eating Eggs Considering Cholesterol”

The reason that a lot of people worry about eggs is that eggs contain high amounts of cholesterol. One large egg has 213mg cholesterol and 5g of fat including 2g saturated fat. Therefore, a lot of questions are raised on eating eggs. For example, does egg consumption lead to high cholesterol levels and thus increased risk of coronary hearth disease? How many eggs should a healthy person limit a week? How about a person who has heart problems?

“Eating a Healthy Diet: Managing Fat in Your Diet”

A balanced diet is crucial for our health. Fats grasp our attention because many of our favorite foods contain significant amounts of fat, which provides much of the great taste we enjoy in foods. Fats are a very important part of eating a healthy diet. On the other hand, because fat contains more calories than carbohydrates and protein, too much dietary fat may increase our risk of chronic disease. Eating too much fat may also play a role in becoming overweight because fats contain twice as many calories as protein and carbohydrates.
