Is communication necessary?

  Why is communication important? First off, what is communication? Communication can be the words you choose or the tone of your voice, but it can also be nonverbal, like body language. The words you decide to use and the tone of your voice that you use with those words can help you verbally express how you feel. However, your body language speaks volumes more than words can. The way you stand or how you rest your arms, but the biggest factor is your facial expressions. For many people, they don’t always realize that they are giving themselves away with the face that they make. The way we use our communication will also help or destroy our relationships. In my experience, there are people who don’t speak up until it's too late. What I mean by that is that people don’t express their feelings, and they just let it build up until it blows up in someone’s face. Emotional build up can lead to an outburst and then fighting. If we don’t regularly express our emotions with our partner, th...

Does having fun do good?

  Who doesn't like having fun? Actually, roughhousing is a perfect thing for kids. It helps them use up some energy, which can calm them, and it is good for their development. I can see just how true this is. Having contact, eye contact too, with their parents is crucial. Having eye contact with parents and other adults helps them to gain confidence to talk to people and sometimes helps them with shyness. Contact with parents is needed too. Little kids are very huggy and lovey with their parents and for good reason. It actually helps their central nervous system develop.  So pretty much what I am saying is you can never give kids too many hugs and kisses. Even just holding hands with kids is good for them. It’s weird to think that this is true, but I know it is.  When I was a child, I got a few hugs every now and again. I knew my parents loved me, that was out of the question, but I always felt something was missing. When I moved and met a couple of other families in my n...

What's wrong with being a stay-at-home mom?

  Imagine this, you worked tirelessly on your model of the Solar system, perfecting every little detail. You stayed up all night before it was due, making sure you had everything ready for your presentation. Oh, no! Your alarm didn’t go off, you're going to miss the bus. Oh, good you barely made it. You get to school, and all settled in your seat when the teacher calls for everyone to bring up their science projects. Realization hits, you forgot your science project at home. You start to panic, but then you remember something important, your mom is home. You calm down and ask the teacher if you can call her, and in no less than 15 minutes she hand-delivers your beautiful solar system. I wish I could have gotten this. My mom had to work, so I never got to have this luxury. If I forgot something at home, I would just have to do without it. Many of my teachers would ask if I wanted to call, but it wasn’t any use since no one was home. To say the least, I had to take a few late grades....
