Alcohol-Free Bach Flower Remedy for Kids on What Children Do!®

Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower material developed by Edward Bach, an English bacteriologist, pathologist and homeopath, in the 1930s.^[1] Bach believed that dew found on flower petals retain healing properties of that plant.^[2] The remedies are intended primarily for emotional and spiritual conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, insomnia and stress.

The remedies contain a very small amount of flower material in a 50:50 solution of brandy and water. Because the remedies are extremely diluted they do not have a characteristic scent or taste of the plant. It is claimed that the remedies contain “energetic” or “vibrational” nature of the flower and that this can be transmitted to the user.^[3] Bach flower remedies are considered vibrational medicines, and rely on a concept of water memory. They are often labeled as homeopathic because they are extremely diluted in water, but are not true homeopathy as they do not follow other homeopathic precepts such as the law of similars or the belief that curative powers are enhanced by shaking and repeated diluting (“succussion”) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_flower_remedies).

Happy Mother’s Day from What Children Do!®

This Notice might just be to Your Mother! Happy Mother’s Day to you and yours!

Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring mothers and celebrating motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society.

 What is Black History Month?

Black History Month  is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada in February^[1][2] and the United Kingdom in October.^[3]

The remembrance began in 1926, with the announcement of “Negro History Week” by historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, a group of which he was co-founder. Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass.^{[1] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_History_Month)}

What Children Do!®: What About Attending Dance Class?

From: TMSC Consulting SVCS, LLC Developmental Division and Helium.com Where Knowledge Rules by Tres Mali Scott, M.Ed., M.S., Ph.D. (ABD), 2nd & 3rd Place Pulitzer Center Citizen Journalist Award.

Dance class? Sounds very simple. When I started Ballet and Tap class I was three years old. It was simple then. Saturday at the park I took ballet and then tap class. I became more serious about the “art of dancing”. The simple Saturday class at the park turned into one of the best dance schools in the nation back then and four to five classes a week. Some children will do very well in dance class and other activities offered.

Keep in mind, that it could become a future commitment and the cost will increase.For many young people, dancing can become a passion. Dance class includes recitals, costumes, friends, and other outings. Some recitals require tickets purchased.

It is also important to look at the type of school and what it is for. Once I attended a dance school that was like the “Russian Ballet”. The instructor was to serious for me. At the time I was attending dance class for enjoyment and recreation. My wonderful mother found another school that I attended. I did very well, meet a lot of friends, and enjoyed many, many recitals. Honest communication is important as well. Try not to live your life through your child’s experiences.

Yes, you should enroll your child in dance class, football players sometimes take dance classes to improve. Many young men are great tap dancers. There are dance classes for both sexes that are gender role appropriate.

For social development, dance class is a great way for parents to meet other parents and children to meet new friends. Children learn to follow directions, cooperate with peers, and learn how to interact age appropriately. Most classes are organized by age.

In conclusion, yes you should enroll your child in an age and sex appropriated dance class that will improve social interactions, and do not forget it can turn into a great profession or enduring hobby. Be prepared for the cost of costumes and recital tickets and look into the school and type of teacher your child will have for classes. Each child is different if you have more than one child enrolled at a time, they may respond differently to the same environment
