W hile many school lessons pertain to coursework, kids pick up much more than book smarts from school.

In addition to a new curriculum, new teachers and new schedules, kids also make new friends once a school year begins. While some familiar faces carry through from grade to grade, chances are youngsters will meet new students who will soon become good friends. Some kids might need some assistance in making friends, some that might last a lifetime.

Children should be given the opportunity to explore friendships outside of the classroom. Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for a play date. Unstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great way to establish friendships. Invite new children over each time to see which friendships are the strongest, but make sure you are not pushing a friendship on your child.

One of the quickest ways to build friendships is through common interests. Encourage your child to join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kids with similar interests. Sometimes finding reasons to talk other children is the most difficult step to making new friends. Sharing a common interest removes this barrier.

Self Regulation - key to learning

Keep it fun and help them to enjoy learning!

Preschool years can be challenging. Your baby has grown up so much - they may talk non-stop, they are becoming independent, they may be strong willed, they are exploring a

range of feelings and emotions. So as parents, what should we do with them at this stage?

Be consciously intentional - everything you do is modeling a way of being to your child.

Children learn by doing - invite them to participate with you in doing daily chores.

Read stories with your child - children love repetition and learning stories by heart.

Take time to play - follow your child’s lead.

Keep screen time to a minimum - for both of you.

(New Friends continued from page 13)

Children who are polite, well-mannered and know how to follow direction are better equipped to attract friends. Children who misbehave may be shunned by other kids and their parents who do not want the hassle of an unruly youngster coming over to play. Respectful children who are honest, trustworthy and capable of sustaining eye contact and making small talk may find it easy to make friends.

As parents, you can improve your child’s chances of making friends by getting friendly with their classmates’ parents. You do not have to become bosom buddies with everyone, but making connections with fellow parents can reinforce the value of friendship to your children. Socializing as families also presents other opportunities to get together and solidify relationships.

As a parent you can talk to your children about their strengths and positive attributes. Emphasizing kids’ best traits will increase their self-esteem, and that sense of self-worth can make it easier for them to make friends. A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meeting new people, but a child who can proudly stand behind his or her accomplishments may attract friends easily.

School is about more than just hitting the books. It’s also a prime opportunity for kids to develop their personal skills and make new friends.

Couples expecting their first child need to make some important decisions about their finances. They know life is about to change, including their finances. Here are a few financial pointers.

Determine your necessary income. Now that a baby is on the way, determine how much income you need. Is it in the family’s best interest for both to keep working once your child is born?

Determine who is staying home. If you’ve decided to be a single-income household, decide who will continue working. Consider not only who is making the most money but the cost of healthcare offered by each of your employers and each of your opportunities for advancement at your current company and within your field.

Discuss your housing needs. Expecting couples often feel this is a great time to move to a larger home. But chances are you can live in your existing home for a few more years. Those extra years can give you the chance to save more money so you can afford a nicer home in a better neighbourhood that boasts better schools.

Purchase life insurance. Life insurance is perhaps the most important purchase expectant couples can make once they learn a baby is on the way. Life insurance ensures you can provide financial support even if something happens to both you and your spouse.

Childproof your homeChildproofing a home can be more difficult for first-time parents who don’t have the trained

eye for hazard spots. Here are some ways parents can make their homes safer for newborns and young children.

Turn down the water heater. Young children are susceptible to burns from hot water, even if that water temperature is fine for the rest of the family. Mayo Clinic recommends setting the temperature on the hot water heater to below 49C. Always test the water before your child gets into the tub.

Store potentially dangerous household items high up. Childproof locks on cupboards and drawers can be an effective deterrent but don’t underestimate how inquisitive youngsters can be.

Remove magnets from the refrigerator. Small magnets on a refrigerator can fall off which then become a choking hazard.

Secure flat-screen televisions. Today’s flat-screen televisions are lightweight but can be easily tipped over thanks to their often top-heavy structure. Such televisions should be mounted to the wall or kept high off the ground where kids can’t reach them.

Keep cribs away from the win-dow. Cords hanging from blinds could present a choking hazard. In addition, cribs located too close to a window can expose babies to the elements, poten-tially upsetting their rest and making them susceptible to sunburn.

Every parent wants their children healthy, happy, and successful. Here are some benefits of child chiropractic adjustments provided by Serenity Chiropractic:

• Maximize and increase brain and nerve development• Strengthen immunity and reduce the incidence of colds, ear-aches and general illness• Improve colic/irritable baby syndrome• Improve asthma, breathing difficulties and allergies• Alleviate bed wetting and digestive problems• Improve behavioural disorders and offer greater emotional wellbeing• Improve the ability to concentrate• Enhance overall wellbeing• Improve spinal posture• Improve sleep• Alleviate “Growing Pains”
