Teachable Moment
Everyday Lessons
You probably do so many chores each day that you don't even give them a second thought, but they're actually a great way to help your child discover new things about the world around him. Children learn by show-and-tell. They watch you pay bills, do the dishes, and drive the car, but they probably don't understand how and why you're doing those things unless you tell them. Every place you take your child can easily be transformed into an instant classroom where you can teach him skills that will help make him a self-sufficient, well-rounded person. You just need to seize these teachable moments.
In the Car
You spend lots of time traveling with your kids. Grab their attention with a lesson about the rules of the road, and you might actually help delay the inevitable question, "Are we there yet?"
Little-kid lessons: Talk through each step: buckling your seat belt, using a key to start the car, and putting in gas so the car will go. Explain that it's the law to stop at red lights, slow down at yellow, and go at green so that cars coming from different directions will each have a turn and no one will get hit. Say, "We pull over for ambulances and fire trucks if their sirens are on because that means they need to get to an emergency quickly." Your kids will start to understand why you need to focus on the road when you're driving.
Big-kid concepts: Point out the speed-limit signs, explain why it's important to follow them, and show how to read the speedometer. Let your older child be your copilot (he can learn to read the map and follow driving directions). Teaching kids about streets and landmarks helps them develop a general awareness of their surroundings.
In the Laundry Room
Doing the wash is a great way to involve kids in housework. Teaching your child this chore will also ensure that your future college student won't be sending her dirty laundry home from the dorm.
Little-kid lessons: Help your child practice basic classification skills by sorting whites and colors. Tell her, "When clothes get wet in the washer, sometimes the dye that makes them different colors gets washed off. Since we don't want the dye to make our white clothes red or blue or purple, we keep colored clothes in a separate load." She can also start folding easy items like towels and pillowcases (teach her to match up the corners) and pairing up socks. She'll feel empowered, and she'll also begin to understand how families work together to get things done.
Big-kid concepts: Your older child can measure and pour the detergent, and fold and put away the laundry. You can even begin explaining the different washer and dryer settings so she can eventually complete this chore on her own.
At a Restaurant
A family dinner out is the perfect opportunity to teach table manners and proper public behavior.
Little-kid lessons: Model good restaurant etiquette for your child, and describe your behavior to help make it clear how you expect her to act and why. Tell her you speak softly and sit still so you don't disturb other people, that you chew with your mouth closed and use utensils properly to be polite, and that you say "please" and "thank you" to show your appreciation.
Big-kid concepts: Allow your child to order her own food, which lets her practice speaking to adults. You can also teach her about money by showing her the bill and giving her paper and a pencil to check to see that the total was added up correctly. (She can even do this on a napkin while you're waiting for your order at the pizzeria.)
Running Errands
At the Grocery Store
When you cook a meal, you have to think ahead, follow a plan, and make choices. Let your child help you at the supermarket so he can practice these skills.
Little-kid lessons: Have him draw a shopping list with pictures, or cut out magazine photos of items you usually get and paste them into a notebook he can take with him. Then have him look for them on the shelves as you go through the store. Whenever possible, give him a choice and let him make a decision. ("There are red and green apples. Which do you like better?")
Big-kid concepts: Have your older child write out his own grocery list with foods for his lunch box and snacks. Discuss together what will make your final cut and why. (A rule like "we can't buy anything with sugar as one of the first four ingredients" will get him reading nutrition labels and making healthy decisions.) Have him look through newspapers to clip coupons for items your family usually buys. You can even help him start to budget by letting him spend some of his allowance on a treat you wouldn't usually buy him.
At the Bank
Teach your child about budgeting by talking him through your trip to the ATM or your conversation with the bank teller.
Little-kid lessons: Explain the basics of keeping money in the bank: It's safe there because you know you won't lose it. (When you put -- or "deposit" -- money into a savings account, the bank pays you a little more money -- called "interest" -- for keeping it there. And when you need it, you can take it out -- or "withdraw" it.) Have your child count your bills for you; it will expose him to basic finance concepts.
Big-kid concepts: Narrate the process of writing out a check (show him what you write in each space and explain that the check lets the bank know it's okay to take money out of your account and pay it to the person you've written the check to), balancing a checkbook ("I subtract the amount of the check from my total balance, so I know how much money is left in my account"), filling out a deposit slip ("When someone writes a check to me, this is how I make sure the money gets into my account"), and going through the ATM instructions.
At the Post Office
Sending letters encourages reading and writing. Teaching your child to send thank-you notes for presents is an ideal way to introduce him to the mail system (and reinforce good manners).
Little-kid lessons: Explain that you have to pay money to send a letter, and have him help you pick out stamps, put them on the envelope in the right spot, and put the letter in the mailbox. Even just signing his name on a letter will help him practice handwriting and encourage communication and creativity. Explain that when you put letters in the mailbox, the postal worker takes them to the post office, where they're sorted. Then each one is delivered to the address you wrote on the envelope.
Big-kid concepts: Older children can write letters and address envelopes themselves. You might also use a map to mark where you're sending the letters and teach geography. A pen pal or Flat Stanley Project can inspire literacy and teach social-studies lessons.

Chocolate a day

Gifts of chocolate may warm your heart, but is chocolate also good for your heart's health? As this ScienCentral News video explains, researchers have uncovered why it may be.
Lessons from Chocolate Cheaters
It's hard to resist chocolate. So when volunteers for a recent Johns Hopkins University study were instructed not to eat it, some of them indulged anyway.
"Less than 10 percent couldn't quite stay away from taking some type of chocolate. And they admitted to taking some chocolate," says biologist Nauder Faraday, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Faraday and co-author Diane Becker were studying aspirin's power against blood clots in people at risk for heart disease in the Genetic Study of Aspirin Responsiveness
The researchers were focusing on aspirin's effect on the blood, so before the experiment began, they tried to ensure that volunteers had a similar diet. Previous studies found that large amounts of chocolate have been linked to benefits of the heart. So the "chocolate offenders" were disqualified from the aspirin study. But the amount of offenders gave the researchers a unique opportunity:
"There was very little information about the use of routine chocolate," he says.
So the researchers compared blood tests from the chocoholics with those who didn't eat chocolate. They found that chocolate had effects similar to aspirin. "What we saw in this case was that as blood is flowing through a tube, it stays fluid for a longer period of time. Because the platelets are not as able to clump together and block a hole," Faraday says.
Platelets serve to clot blood. If blood vessels are narrowed by coronary artery disease, platelets can jam up and possibly lead to a heart attack.
Faraday was surprised to see that even small amounts of chocolate led to a reduction in the "stickiness" of platelets for at least 24 hours. "If you take chocolate in your usual diet, it does have the ability to make your platelets less sticky. The effect that we saw with casual chocolate, routine chocolate [consumption] was very small, and maybe only a tenth, one tenth as great as aspirin," he says.
" I think that the interesting thing is that in your routine type of diet, just a casual amount of chocolate it could be candy bar, is enough to have a measurable effect on the platelet clumping," he says. Faraday says that this could open up future possibilities for research. "People's diet could lead to a benefit in their heart and their other blood vessel in certain people who at risk." He explains.
But he says people shouldn't think they can east chocolate for their health-- it's still high in sugar and fat. "We're still not recommending that you go out there and now take 25 servings of chocolate every day. That's not the point." He also stresses that his study looked at everyday consumption of chocolate in volunteers that had a family history of heart disease, but did not have heart problems such a heart attack.
The researchers suspect the compounds in chocolate that improve blood flow are so-called "flavonoids," which Faraday points out you can also get from grapes and certain teas. "Flavonoids are a group of compounds that are very complicated," he says. "But that group of compounds is what has been thought to have this type of effect. Additional studies will be needed just to find out just what type of flavonoid and if those flavonoids really have this effect on platelets to make them less sticky.
"
In the meantime, if chocolate holds a special place in your heart, Faraday suggests you enjoy it in moderation. "Chocolate tastes great, and if you want to have some, I think our study's in line with that. It's okay to have anything in moderation, and chocolate is certainly one of these things," he says.
Faraday and Becker presented their findings in the presentation "Casual Chocolate Consumption and Platelet Activity," at the American Heart Association's 2006 Scientific Sessions. Their research is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Johns Hopkins University. Additional video of platelets clumping and restricting blood flow was provided by Craig Morrell, Johns Hopkins University.

Quiet for sometimes..
Last Saturday was our General Election day, it was on 8th March. For the first time I put my vote and luckily that day not as busy as some people told me. I did not take a long time to vote even with my 2 kids. I think within 10 minutes I finished with my vote. Finally I've done my responsibility to my country.

For those who like to know about my knitting project, now I am doing Hakim's sweater. Will show you the result once I finished it. I hope I can finish it by end of this month cause I was also thinking to knit Aishah's Cardigan. I am also doing cross stitch and for my current project I have to stop it for a while, and give the knitting priority for now. So probably I will share my knitting result in my blog as well as my cross stitch.
Life is so complicated some time, you have to move on and just do what you want to do. That all for today, need to go home. Hope I have something to write tomorrow.
