Jennie Wren Kids Books Excellent for Gifts, Family Bonding,  Fun Lessons (VIDEO Included)

Reading is an excellent way to bond with your kids. What better way than with a series that teaches fun lessons with cute characters everyone falls in love with? Jennie Wren's books for kids are a great way for families to bond in a lighthearted fun way. Because of this, they also make perfect kids gifts for holidays, birthdays, or anytime!

When our toddler, Nova Skye got the shipment of these wonderful books, it was such a fun family bonding experience to watch her tear into them. As you will see in the box opening video (below), her excitement couldn't be contained.
Since that day, we have enjoyed the colorful illustrations and lovable characters as a family many times over. From a parent's perspective, these books are a must have when it comes to teaching children character-building traits and values. The cute stories are very relatable for both kids and parents. This makes them fun to talk about during family bonding time. One thing we like to do is have a reading circle. The size of these books makes them perfect for passing around to everyone, if desired, or holding them up for everyone to see during a reading session.
Picture
The gentle lessons help kids think about similar situations they have been in or may be in at some point.

Some books for kids can often be pushy about very specific beliefs. We didn't find that to be the case with any of the Jennie Wren books.
If you're looking for family-friendly books that encourage bonding, critical thinking, and fun-filled laughter, you need to add these to your collection.

Because everyone can relate to the adventures and situations, families will find themselves bonding over them without even trying.

One of Nova's favorites is Cindy the Cow, since cows are one of her favorite animals. However, each of our kids who participated in reading these books has enjoyed all of them.
Age Recommendation: All ages (younger kids will need them read to them)
Holiday Recommendation: Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Everyday, and more!

Stay tuned for more about these books in the future!

Educational and Emotional Benefits of Playing Cards with Kids

Playing with 52 Obamas in my pajamas
Sure, card playing with kids is awesomely fun. But did you know that it also could be good for learning and emotional health? If you haven't played cards with your kids before, you may just change that routine soon.

According to ParentingScience.com, studies show cognitive benefits to play, which could include card playing. Kids who play often are proven to excel in academics. Frequent play also improves memory, problem-solving skills, math skills, and even language skills. This could be due to the fact that many types of play involve utilizing those skills.

Memory and Match-Up card games for kids are particularly beneficial. They can help improve concentration, train visual memory, improve vocabulary, increase hand-eye coordination, increase short-term memory, practice and increase attention to detail, help to classify objects, help to differentiate objects, and help to familiarize traits in specific objects.

The benefits are so strong that card playing is often used to help fight off memory and cognitive  conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.

Looking at card games in particular, see how many you can think of that involve using oral language skills, math, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and an emotional connection to other players.

Have you played cards with your kids lately? Which games are favorites?

5 Activities to Help Boost Your Teen's Self-Confidence  Now!

Does your teen need a boost of self-worth? Even if you answered no, it's always good to immerse teens in activities that help raise their self-confidence levels. The teenage years can be difficult to get through. But a healthy dose of self-esteem can play a vital role in helping them get through all the ups and downs of hormones and life itself. Self esteem isn't always  something that comes naturally for everyone and even when it does, it's still great to nurture it. By consistently taking advantage of naturally occurring events and activities, your teens' self-esteem can shine.

Teach your teen a new dance or let them show you. Learning and conquering a new skill is a great confidence booster. You may think your teen is embarrassed to dance with you. But the truth is, most teens look up to their parents and want to please them. Showing you the dance techniques can be  mastered is a simple and fun way for your teen to feel accomplished. Practice this often for  optimal results. Dancing isn't really my thing. But one of my teens loves it. So I frequently watch her  perform all the great new moves she learns and invents. Since I am not much of a dancer, I don't usually dance along. But she knows myself and the entire family love watching her  perform.

Let your teen help with a meaningful task. Trusting your teen with something that you normally do can be good for enhancing self worth. It's a great feeling knowing someone trusts  you with an important task. Think about how you would feel if your boss put you in charge of something normally done by a person in a higher position than you. That's exactly how your  teen will feel. It might be a little overwhelming at first. But imagine how great your teen will feel  when the task is accomplished.

Give your teen more responsibility and make trust obvious. Teens need preparation for when they become adults. This is the perfect age to give them more responsibility. Teach them about employment and how to apply for jobs. Summer and after-school positions are great for this stage. Even if your family does not need the extra money, this can be an important life lesson. Other responsibilities may include work around the house, grocery shopping, helping figure out the family budget, and other household responsibilities. Self worth often comes from  successfully performing both simple and complex tasks.

Compliment your teen when it's warranted. If you notice that your teen has a cute outfit on or a nice hairstyle, don't be afraid to say so. You may think it sounds cheesy. But truthful  compliments can help your teen feel good about self image. Pay attention to not only your teen's appearance but also any completed tasks. Whenever any of my kids does something  nice without me asking, I make sure I thank them and let them know how much it means to me. Be sure not to to overdo it or your compliments won't be taken seriously. Always be genuine and honest with your words.

Let your teen work or volunteer. Serving others is an excellent way to help your teen feel good inside. There is no other feeling like the one found inside when giving to others. Aside  from that, each goal or task your teen completes will help give a sense of accomplishment. My teen daughter is looking forward to the day when she can become an official volunteer at a local  shelter. Until then, we spend a great deal of our own time visiting the animals and giving them  affection. The kids feel so great knowing they have touched the lives of so many animals.

Best Family Karaoke Songs and Tips For Karaoke  Night  With  Kids

3/8/2011

Who doesn't love a good family karaoke session? But how do you know which songs to sing? My kids and I enjoy karaoke often. Here are some tips and some of the songs we feel are the best for a family karaoke night.

Choosing good family songs
Good songs for family karaoke night will run the gamut, as far as style and artist. Be sure to choose songs appropriate for the ages of all family members. It's also good to have a variety of different styles of music. This way no one is left out. Don't forget to account for both male and female vocals and remember that males can sing female solos and vice versa. Just let everyone choose whatever they like.

Family karaoke night activities

When kids are involved, it's good to mix things up and have different activities surrounding the karaoke. This keeps them interested for longer than a few minutes. One idea is “Musical Karaoke”. Play it just like “Musical Chairs” except instead of stopping and starting a radio, the person singing karaoke stops and starts at random.

Best songs for family karaoke night

“I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor

“A Whole New World” from Disney's Aladdin movie

“I'll Stand by You” by Carrie Underwood

“Flying Without Wings” by Ruben Studdard

“Part of Your World” from Disney's “The Little Mermaid” movie

“Wild, Wild West” by Will Smith

“I Hope You Dance” by LeeAnn Womack

“Wild Horses” by Natasha Bedingfield

“You are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson

“Just a Girl” by No Doubt

“The Climb” by Miley Cyrus

“Something More” by Sugarland

“Hakuna Matata" from Disney's “The Lion King”

Free Ways For Kids to Have Fun

2/26/2011

Are your kids bored out of their minds? Just need something free to pass the time? Maybe you're broke but still want to have fun. Either way, these five free ways to have fun with kids are sure to entertain.

Sing Silly Songs Together

Yeah, yeah I know this may sound old-fashioned. But try it. It's great for laughter and helps bring families closer together. This is especially good after a really long day. A family karaoke night is always fun as well.

Play Tag In the Rain

If it's raining outside, no need to stay inside unless there is severe weather. Play a free, fun game of tag in the rain with the kids. It adds a fun element and also teaches kids to appreciate the beauty of mother nature.

Explore the Neighborhood

Do you know what your neighborhood looks like? The full details - not from a car window. Take a stroll around and explore things with the kids. You might be surprised at the nature and landmarks you can discover without being contained by four doors.

Weed Out and Donate

This may seem an odd thing to put on a list of fun things to do. But kids really enjoy knowing their unused items can help others. Go through clothing, books, toys, etc and see what can be given to the less fortunate. Keeps the kids busy and it also helps someone out.

Family Talent Show

Everyone has something special they can do. One kid might be able to sing. Another may be an artist. Maybe another is into fashion. No matter everyone's interests, they can all be combined to create a fun family talent show. You can charge admission with play money for effect.
