Thank you very much from my heart for your continue support!
During last three weeks, “Parenting Blog” was still focusing on Early Childhood Education and discussed the following topics. Here we would like to share with all of you.
“How Can Parents Help Your Young Child’s Language Development?”
Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to language and psychosocial and emotional development. Children who are poor communicators do not send clear messages and therefore may be difficult to read and respond to appropriately.
We suggest parents help your young child’s language development in the following ways.
“Is a Second Language Beneficial to Your Young Child?”
Many of my friends who have immigrants’ families just like me; some of them insist on their kids to be bilingual; while others think that bilingual speakers can not concentrate on one and turns out that kids can not excel at any one of the languages. With large immigrant populations on the increase in many countries, many parents are faced with raising a bilingual or trilingual child.

“Review on Bilingual Research for Parenting”
As children with multi language exposure, parents must get to know current research and recommendations regarding the language development of bilingual children and early language intervention. As parents, if we are familiar with the current research, we can better answer some questions such as, “How should we talk to our child? Should we use one language or two?” In addition, we can provide better early language intervention.

Regular exercise is extremely important and beneficial for our health, well-being and quality of life. It provides enormous health benefits including reducing many diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes etc. Regular fitness exercise is also highly beneficial for maintaining a healthy weight, and improving brain chemistry to reduce stress level and depression, which contributes to our mental health.

“Be Aware of Pesticides on Vegetables and Fruits”
Vegetables and Fruits are healthy foods we live on daily while please be aware of pesticides, those harmful chemicals. With the advance of science, nowadays, more and more vegetables and fruits we can get all year round while we could not in the old time. However it is also raising our consensus that small doses of pesticides and other chemicals can adversely affect our health, especially during vulnerable periods such as during fetal development and childhood, the impact can have long lasting effects. Because the lack of study on toxic effects of pesticides, it is wise to minimize exposure to pesticides whenever possible.

“Eat Healthy Food - Review on Low Carb Foods”
It is overeating, which makes our body intakes more than we need and lead to over weight. Eating moderate balanced meal is the key to stay healthy. In this article, we focus on Low Carbohydrates(carb) Foods, and want to learn what kind of foods belong to low carbs, in case when we eat enough carbs and need to avoid more carbs to take the balance and keep healthy weight, or when we overeat carbs or when we want to lose weight. Cutting carbs leads to weight loss by restricting food choice, and thereby cutting calories.
