How Can You Make Your Childs' Home Safe and Stable?

It should go without saying that every parent wants to provide a healthy, happy, safe and stable environment for their children. This will give them the chance to grow up well-adjusted and confident, but it can sometimes feel like you’re not doing as much as you can, or you might not be sure how to provide the stability and safety that’s essential for kids of all ages. If you want some clarity over how to achieve this stability, here are four ideas to consider. 


Promote A Routine 


The easiest way of providing stability is to promote a routine that your kids can follow. This means you should establish mealtimes, study times, and bedtimes that they stick to. 


Working with your kids to create a routine will bring some order to their day. It will help them manage their time better and not spend too much time rushing or stressing to get things done. A routine brings comfort and normality to their life, which gives them something to look forward to and arrange other activities, such as seeing friends or exercising, around the fundamental pieces. Schools work in routines and children thrive in these areas, promoting a good routine before and after school can help children be less stressed or even anxious of what's next in the day.


Encourage Education 


Many kids will groan when faced with going to school even if they love it deep down (although they might not show it). However, encouraging education will give your child plenty of options in life, which sets them up for something great. 


Parents can help encourage a love for education if they make learning fun. Some concepts can be dull and tricky to understand, so try conceptualising these subjects with things your kids know and recognise. 


Keep Them Healthy 


Keeping your kids healthy by modelling an exercise routine or eating healthy foods is a fantastic way of passing on good habits. The sooner your kids embrace the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, the better off they will be while growing up and in their adult life. 


You can help them find sports clubs or introduce them to activities that they like. Again, this combines with a routine, as it will help them keep busy on some evenings and weekends, and gives them something to look forward to. 


Give Them Support 


Home stability is not possible without parental support. You and your partner must be there for your children and help them overcome all the difficulties they face. 


However, not everyone has the privilege of a supposed ‘traditional’ family setup. This isn’t to say single parents are less capable of offering support. But having a spouse or partner who is there permanently, whether because they are citizens or through a spouse visa extension for couples from different countries, will ensure your child (and you) get the full spectrum of support to guarantee a stable and happy household. 


Safe and Stable 


A safe and stable home is crucial for a child’s development. They will learn how to deal with issues in their life and obtain crucial skills that can help them succeed at school, work, and in their personal lives. All of this comes from their home, so you should do all you can to provide as much stability as possible.

Caring For Your Health: Are Your Medications Causing Health Risks?

 


Photo by Polina Tankilevitch: https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-taking-pill-3873209/

Are you currently using medication for a health concern? If so, you need to be aware that certain medications can pose certain health risks. Although medication is there to help your health, you need to be careful about interactions they might cause.

Using this guide, you can understand what you need to be careful about while taking certain medications.

Be careful about driving

There are various medications and ingredients that can affect you while driving. For instance, you might choose to use medical cannabis to manage pain. 

Using cannabis and then driving is illegal. You can’t do this and should never do it. If you are using medical cannabis to treat insomnia or anxiety, be careful not to drive for a while after. 

It can be difficult to know exactly how long cannabis stays in your system after use. If you use it often, it will stay longer. It also stays much longer in your blood and urine than it does in your saliva. Your saliva is what they can detect if you are driving.

You will want to know how long cannabis in your system if you use it on the odd occasion. You might not realize that it will be detectable if you get pulled over while driving. It can stay in your system for anywhere between 12 hours and 3 days, so be careful if you use it for sleep and need to drive the following day. It is best to use other methods for sleeping if you know you need to drive. You don’t want to risk getting pulled over and fined.

Protect your hormones ladies

Certain medications can play a part in women’s hormones. Certain ingredients can boost hormones while others can suppress them. 

For example, using daily aspirin can affect a woman’s hormonal cycle. Hence, you might wish to speak with your doctor for an alternative so that you don’t impact your hormones and make sure you maintain regular periods. Regular periods might be better for your health than the medication you are using to manage an ailment. Hence, you can find alternatives to make sure you can protect your female health and stay calm.

Weight loss might not be what you’re looking for

Although certain medications and ingredients can be used for weight loss, you might not be aware that a medication you are using can cause weight loss. If this isn’t what you are looking for or need, it can be dangerous. 

For example, antidepressants can cause weight loss. Although you might need them to help your mental health, it can be good to find medications without certain ingredients so you can maintain good health and weight.

Although you can use many medications without harm, you need to look out for interactions so that you can protect your health. It might be worth speaking with a doctor before using medications so you can protect your current health. You need to only use ingredients that will benefit you.

Using this guide, you can find the best tips to make sure you are protecting your health wihle using medications.

Grief is weird

After the loss of a loved one the pain is unreal, me and my husband broke up in November of 2019 and I felt like my world had ended, he stayed with us til the January of 2020, we had Christmas together and new years but it wasn't right. We loved eachother but too much had happened between us that it just couldn't work.

April of 2020 just before lockdown I met someone..Damo, I was expecting a fling, or friends with benefits at the least and I got way more than I bargained for. Happy to say the least I wasn't in it 100% and shortly after it ended. In the June I moved into a new place, a fresh start for me and my kids but I never quite got over not being with my husband, we slept together often, even with him sleeping about too he was my invisible tether and I was drawn to him.

In the October of 2020 the guy I met was back on the scene, not that he ever left as we were friends but we were more romantically involved, we spent my birthday together then Christmas and New year but again shortly after it was over because I was drawn back to my husband.

2021 came and I asked my husband for another baby, he agreed and we started trying, soon after (May) I fell pregnant with my third child. There was a lot of controversy that year about who's baby it was, although I knew deep down it was my husband's and all the scans looked exactly like him. We had Christmas just me and the kids that year and boxing day with my husband and his other two children. The day after we all found out we had COVID and I was booked into hospital to be induced 4 days after I was due. On the 30th December Felicity was born and although I couldn't have my husband with me because we had COVID I had support from my mum.

2022 soon came and we had a weird year, lots of arguing and difficult times came but still lots of being drawn to each other, we spent Christmas together that year and had a beautiful family Christmas together. We had Felicity's first birthday and then new years eve. And although we still argued we told eachother how we felt and that was it.

January 2023 came with the shittiest entrance ever, Felicity was in hospital for an accident a few days later I was at A&E for a headphone bud stuck in my ear and then a few days later my husband got rushed in for a heart attack, I got a call that night to come to the hospital because he might not make it. My heart was in full panic mode. I arrived at 11.10 and they put me in a room with a few chairs, I knew that this was it, he wasn't coming back, then I was told he had died at 11.02. My whole world came crumbling down and thankfully I had my mum there with me cause I just broke.

I saw him on the ER table and although he still felt a bit warm I knew he had gone. The next few weeks/months were a big blur, I was hurting, I had to tell his family, my kids, his kids, plan a funeral and a wake and sort out his flat. Everything set me off and hurt like hell, I'd find myself talking to him because we spoke all the time before and it just killed me, I was so low and then someone came to save me.

Damo was always there in the background, he knew what had happened and obviously gave me time but also was there when I needed him, he didn't mind the crying or the silent cuddles and has always been so good with my babies. The pain was still there but he made it bearable and got me out of that hole I was getting myself into. Soon after we decided that we wanted to try again, it was soon but felt right. He didn't take advantage or expect anything more and the love he gives me is just beautiful and I'm so thankful for that.

Last night we watched a show on TV, one of the characters mum was dying in hospital and when she got there they were lead to a room with sofas and a box of tissues. The raw emotion I got from this scene was immense, it was dark and upsetting for me, reminding me that I lost him and he's gone. Reminding me of that moment I knew in my heart that he was taken from me and our babies. 

Thankfully in that moment I had my safety person, that just held me in that moment validated my emotion and knew that I just needed silence and to be held. And although it's probably weird as hell for him and abit shit, he knew deep down how I felt and accepted that it's just a part of me now.

Grief is shit, there's no other way of describing it, it's raw pain and emotion and happy memories and a reminder that they were here and a huge part of our lives. 

But I'm glad, I've found my person, someone who maybe doesn't get it but is present regardless. And for that I am thankful.

By knowing your body type will give you an idea on which areas to focus on when you put on your body shaper. This versatile foundation wear can be used to accentuate certain body parts like the breast or derriere or to hide problem areas like belly and thighs.

6 Sports To Help Improve Mental Well-being

Women's sports can be an invaluable way to enhance mental wellbeing. Not only can physical activity help fight stress and depression, but it can also give women a platform on which they can form supportive relationships that provide vital emotional support in times of trouble.

Here Are A Few Ideas For Using Women's Sports To Improve Mental Wellbeing:


1. Hiking:

For those in search of outdoor activities to improve both their physical and mental health, why not give hiking a try? Not only does this exciting pastime provide much-needed fresh air, but studies have also demonstrated its beneficial properties, such as decreasing symptoms of depression and anxiety while increasing positive emotions, such as joy and peace. So put on those hiking boots and explore nature!

2. Yoga:

One effective method to foster mental wellbeing is through yoga. As an ancient art combining physical poses and breathing exercises, yoga strengthens muscle flexibility, improves posture, increases blood flow throughout the body, and relaxes the mind for improved overall well-being. Aside from increasing mobility and flexibility benefits such as increased mobility and flexibility, practising yoga also can reduce stress levels, alleviate symptoms associated with depression or anxiety disorders, boost moods and confidence levels as well as decrease chronic pain levels.

3. Running:

Going for a run can be more than just exercise; it can also provide much-needed "me time" while improving both your physical and mental well-being! Not only can running improve cardiovascular health, stamina, and muscle strength, but it has been linked with reduced anxiety symptoms, decreased stress levels, enhanced problem-solving skills, and better concentration capabilities - not to mention improved energy levels!

4. Swimming:

Another excellent way to boost mental well being is through swimming. As it offers low-impact exercise, it can also help individuals to become fit without risking injury or burnout. Swimming has long been known to reduce stress, improve sleep patterns, and even combat depression - so for anyone wanting an easy yet active solution for improving mental well-being - swimming could be just what is needed!

5. Team Sports: 

Playing team sports can do more than improve physical health - it can also provide great mental well-being benefits! Joining a recreational sports team or league provides opportunities to meet new people and increase self-confidence levels in a safe environment while improving relationships and self-worth. Team sports offer the ideal blend of physical activity, competition, and support among teammates that leads to improved well-being overall. Furthermore, investing in a sport kit may reduce stress levels while offering an outlet for pent-up emotions.

6. Cycling:

No matter your skill level or cycling experience, jumping on a bicycle can help improve both physical and mental well-being! Not only can cycling provide physical advantages such as increased cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength gains; studies have also linked it with better moods, stress relief and enhanced problem-solving abilities - as well as helping combat feelings of loneliness or isolation; studies show that cyclists who incorporate cycling into their daily routine report feeling less socially isolated than on-cyclists.

Divorce Steps For Struggeling Individuals

Divorce can be both emotionally and financially draining. Additionally, its process involves many legal and financial considerations that must be carefully managed if you decide to part ways with your husband. When making this decision, it's essential that you take measures to safeguard your interests during this process and remain informed - here are some steps you should take immediately after announcing it:

Ensure You Make The Right Decision

Take the time to sit with yourself and ensure this decision is right for you, taking into account all aspects of your relationship, such as reconciliation potential or whether there are support systems in place.


Gather Information

Once you've decided on divorce, the next step should be gathering information and researching all available options. First, begin researching the divorce process and any applicable laws in your state to gain more insight into legal proceedings and financial responsibilities that lie ahead. You might also explore alternative forms of separation, such as mediation or collaborative divorce, which may be less expensive and time-consuming.


Seek Emotional Support

Divorce can be an emotional experience, so having someone there for support, such as family members, friends, or therapists, can help ease some of the challenging feelings associated with divorce and help guide sound decision-making.


Make A List

Before beginning the divorce process, it is vital to gather as much financial information as possible. This may include bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, and investment account statements from both partners; you should also create a comprehensive list of all of their assets and debts to facilitate the division of property and the determination of spousal support payments.


Research Divorce Lawyers

Before hiring a divorce attorney, it is crucial that you conduct some thorough research. Specialist Divorce lawyers for women with experience will help protect your rights and negotiate an equitable settlement agreement for you. 


Consider Your Options

There are multiple approaches to getting divorced: traditional court proceedings, mediation, or collaborative divorce are among your choices. Mediation allows parties to come to an agreement through working with a neutral third party. At the same time, collaborative divorce includes working with teams of professionals, including lawyers, therapists, and financial experts, in reaching an accord on terms for the divorce. Carefully consider which solution would work best in your particular circumstances.


Plan For Your Children

When divorcing with children, it's crucial that a plan be drawn up for their care and well-being during the divorce process. For example, think through what custody arrangements will look like, who will pay child support payments, and what visitation arrangements may work best; also, discuss these details with them so they understand exactly what's happening.


Don't Blast Your Spouse To Your Children

No matter how much you dislike your spouse, it is essential that no negative comments about them reach the children in any way. Doing so could cause more confusion and fear among children going through such an emotionally charged transition process. So instead, focus on positive aspects of divorce proceedings, such as both parents continuing to love and care for your child in the coming months and years.


Document All

Make sure that during the divorce process, everything is documented thoroughly - this means keeping track of legal documents, financial records, emails, text messages, phone conversations, and court proceedings. Having this documentation available could prove useful should any disputes arise during negotiations or court proceedings or when revisiting certain points after finalizing your divorce agreement.


Keep Good Credit

Divorce can have an enormously detrimental effect on your finances, so it is wise to take steps to safeguard them before going through with the divorce. This might involve opening separate bank accounts, canceling joint credit cards, and closing joint accounts as soon as possible. You should also ensure you have access to essential financial documents and are aware of all debts and assets associated with both partners.


Consider Your Living Situation

If you and your spouse are living together, plans must be made for separate living arrangements. This could involve finding new accommodation or negotiating who stays in the family home. When making these decisions, it is important to keep children's needs in mind as well as coming to an agreeable solution with one another.


Divorce can be an emotional journey, but taking the right steps will ensure that you remain protected and informed throughout. Seeking emotional support, gathering financial data, researching lawyers for divorce, reviewing options for your children's welfare, protecting yourself financially, and considering living arrangements are all vitally important first steps to take in order to move forward with life after separation and divorce. With guidance and support available to you from experienced divorce lawyers, you can move on and start building 

the next chapter of your life!

Ten Reasons Why It Is Vital To Let Your Kids Take Swimming Lessons

Swimming is an invaluable life skill that everyone should possess. Not only does it keep children safe in and around water, it can also provide them with physical activity and provide hours of entertainment!

Here Are Ten Reasons Why It Is In Your Children's Best Interests To Take Swimming Lessons As Soon As Possible:

1. Swimming lessons can bring years of joy and pleasure.

Swimming is one of the few activities that everyone can participate in throughout their lives, regardless of age or fitness level. Knowing how to swim opens up a world of oceans, lakes and rivers; developing this skill won't leave you regretting later in life!

2. Swimming lessons provide invaluable safety measures for children.

Drowning is the leading cause of injury-related deaths for children aged 1-4 years, so teaching your child how to swim equips them with essential skills necessary for staying safe around water should an accident occur.

3.Swimming lessons don't seem as intimidating for kids as other sports can be.

At any age, children can begin learning to swim. Swim classes offer children a safe yet engaging learning environment where new skills can be acquired without feeling intimidated by failure or overwhelmed.

4. Learning how to swim fosters physical activity and enhances coordination for kids.

Swimming helps children develop muscle strength and stamina while simultaneously developing coordination and agility. Swimming provides an engaging form of physical activity with low impact to the body - perfect for young swimmers!

5. Learning to swim early increases children's self-confidence and independence.

Young kids gain immense pride from knowing they have accomplished something difficult such as swimming. Additionally, this activity teaches them to feel at home in the water, making them more independent at an early age.

6. Swimming lessons don't require extensive equipment or setup costs to begin their lessons.

Swimming is unlike many other sports because all it requires to participate is a swimsuit, pool access and an experienced instructor - making it much more accessible than activities which could require substantial financial or energy investments.

7. Swimming can provide children with an effective means of socialisation with peers their age in a safe and fun environment.

Swimming classes provide children with an invaluable opportunity to develop important social skills while following instructions from teachers and cooperating in groups, helping children build important lifelong friendships along the way.

8. Swimming can help strengthen concentration and focus in children.

Swimming requires tremendous concentration to move through the water efficiently. Over time, repetition and practice can help develop cognitive skills that will prove helpful later in life.

9. It can be an enjoyable activity on hot days when the heat becomes overwhelming.

Swimming offers children an engaging way to cool off when it's too hot to be outside, often providing slides, diving boards, and other aquatic attractions that keep kids engaged with swimming.

10. Swimming can provide children with an ideal form of exercise.

Swimming lessons provide children with an ideal way to meet the recommended physical activity requirements without needing to visit a gym or take part in organised sports leagues. Swimming's low impact and safety are other appealing features of taking swimming lessons for your child that may carry into adulthood and beyond.
