Healthy teeth for our kids

Here are some work to do to keep our child's teeth healthy...

1. Clean your baby's gum, even before he gets his first baby tooth.
2. Brush your child's teeth twice a day with a soft toothbrush, especially at bedtime -- all sides of each tooth, including the backsides, and the gumline.
3. use non-fluoride toothpaste, until he is two years old. Switch to a fluoride toothpaste once your child is two years old.
4. See a dentist for regular checkups six months after your child's first tooth comes in.

Knowing how to care for your kids teeth properly now will help ensure they continue to have healthy teeth and gums as they grow into adults.

Alhamdulillah till now, Daffa has a healthy teeth without any cavity at all ....

Letter to my Mom....

Dear ma...

I have been waiting to tell you this for a while, but somehow I could not do it as I knew that I would be in tears and probably you would too and I would make no sense! So I have sat down to put my thoughts into words to express myself better, and no one will care if I cry while doing this.


I know that we don't get to chose who are parents will be but, I know that Allah knows what He is doing. I was blessed with the best mother in the world and couldn't ask for more.

I just want you to know how very much I love you, you helped me become the person that I am, you have always been there when I needed you. You have always been so unselfish, putting your own needs and wants aside to help others, including me. I am so grateful for everything you have ever done for me - I could not have a better mom than you:) You have been the best mom in the world and for this I am so grateful.

But most of all, you have taught me what love is. You have taught me the true meaning of love. You have taught me that "love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. You have tought me to love others ... and the best thing ... You have tough me to love Allah....

Mom.... I Love you ... and I hope you always in blessing of Allah....

Lets swim Dear.....

Most children start taking swimming lessons from around 3 years of age. Here are a few tips for making this whole process of learning swimming a pleasant one:

1. Choose a Good swim school, the place must have a good facility and safety enough for our kids.
2. Choose the best swimming coach, be sides they teach a right technique ... make it sure they also caring and friendly
3. Make a good preparation for the swim class, such as buy a water proof swimming bag, swimming costume, swim cap, goggles, towel, etc.
4. Make it sure your child ready enough for the lesson, give her/him a light meal at least 2 hours before the lesson...Your child should not have any food for at least 1 to 2 hours before her/his swimming lesson. Rub Vaseline on your child’s leg and other exposed parts of the body. This will reduce the shivering.
5. During The Swimming Lessons: Don’t put too much pressure on your child. Every child learns swimming in their own time.
6. After The Swimming Lesson: Give your child a shower after every lesson (however clean the pool is). The kids can get very hungry after a swimming lesson. I normally take a snack with me so that I can give it to them after tidying up.

Have fun with your children......

Physical Activity is Good for Kids

Daffa is an active kids, he only lay up when he is sleeping or concentrate on the movie show. Yea he also can calm down when he occupied in his art work or his meal... yea that my son... Daffa.

For kids such as Daffa exercise and participation in sports can help theirself to socialize each other, introducing them to new kids and providing many opportunities for involved play. Often, children form their closest friendships with either the kids at school or those who share the same outside interests.

I ever read that physical activity provides your child with many lasting health benefits, such as:

• strong bones and muscles
• healthy heart, lungs and arteries
• improved coordination, balance, posture and flexibility
• a reduced risk of becoming overweight or obese and other complication such as diabetic.
  

Active kids are also more likely to:

• be confident and have enhanced self-esteem
• be happy and relaxed
• sleep well
• concentrate at school
• make friends easily
• share, take turns and cooperate

Active children typically become active adults. By encouraging your child to be physically active, you’re helping to establish a healthy lifelong habit. so never be bellyache about your kids...if your kid is an active children...

How to start your bussines with a franchise

If you don't have any bussines experiences and any bussines skills, buying a franchise is a simplest way to get your own bussines. A franchise is one way to avoid many of the risk and trouble associated with starting a new businesss.

When you buy a franchise, make it sure:

1. You are buying the right to use the franchisor's name, product, and management approach
2. That franchise already has its standard infrastructure in place
3. That franchise has well promotional strategy
4. The most important thing is make sure the company you are considering fits your personal interest and needs

When you find a franchise you like, contact the franchisor to request information. Generally, you will be asked to provide some basic information, including personal financial data. If this initial paperwork is satisfactory, you should be invited to visit the home office where you will usually receive a tour, sales presentation, and a Uniform Offering Circular (UFOC) with information about the company. This information should help in your decision to negotiate a franchise purchase.

Study the UFOC carefully. And Good Luck with your Bussines....

why IGCSE?

IGCSE is abbreviation of International General Certificate of Secondary Education. This is an internationally recognised qualification for school students, typically at the 14 up to 16 stage, Like UAN in Indonesia.

This kind of qualification prepares students for further academic work. When students having IGCSE certificate they can continue their academic to the higher grade such as AS Level, A Level, Cambridge Pre-U, or the IB Diploma Programme in all over the world.

In Indonesia 5 years ago this qualification only adopted by International school such as The British international School, or Singapore International School, but now some of public school such as SMU 8 international class, SMU 70 international class and many other schools also adopted this method. It did not mean that UAN qualification worse than IGCSE. It just gives line to some students especially to students that will continue their study in other country.

IGCSE exam is not as hard as we think.... I am an IGCSE tutor especially in math, chemistry and physics... I guarantee if a students practice the worksheet regularly, pay attention to the teacher at school, and make a note for each unit ... definitely, they can do the test well

So... to all my students.... keep burn the midnight oil together with your IGCSE book... he he he ... if you having trouble with your hand out just email me at. kulinerlover@yahoo.com

Love you all,,

I LOVE YOU DEAR...

Just smile...

I always thought life would be easy but nothing has ever been easy. Life is how you make not how you let it be. This a very simple truth that anyone will try it and they might see it that way. when you smile, your life will smile for you and when you cry, it will definitely cry about you.

Could you think,think & think million times about that and tell me do you really think that it's worth it to worry yourself about anything in life but to make sure you have a good look at what you life will be if you are sad and miserable.

Also think about your life if you are Happy and how will you be without your smile. Whatever you do in life , just keep up your smile because life isn't as bad as it looks.

Just smile smile smile and don't waste your time in worrying about stuff that could end your life but it's not worth because your life is much more important than anything else in the world and trust me when I say more than anything in the world I mean it because when you are not happy and wasting your life in sadness then I could say you wasting your happiness and your time is precious in life and nobody ever gets young.

For moeslem like me... a smile is an almsgiving ... when you do that smile devoutly...
