How to wean a child from diapers

Teach your baby go without diapers is not so difficult. We, the parents would like to see it passed as calmly as possible, and faster. But it seems that kids want to decide for themselves when the time comes.

 "Your son is still walking around with diapers? But nowadays children ask for a pot already at nine months! "There will always be my aunt or grandmother who would not miss the opportunity to remind you that in two and a half years of your child's time to accustom himself to the pot. A good way to cause you irritation and insecurity in the mother's competence. Especially the children of some of your friends for a year go without diapers. Sometimes anxiety mom is so strong that a sensitive and suggestible child eventually learns to stay dry in order to reduce the prevailing tension around this subject. But at some point the baby may lose this skill, to make sure that such a simple way it can regulate your relationship with him. Small children can easily find our "pain points" - what we are most afraid of: lack of appetite, poor sleep or an inability to control his sphincters. Small sly way in urging us to various relief measures, new toys or sweets. However, in most cases to teach to the pot occurs without hindrance, subject to a few simple rules.
Of course, there are many benefits to early child learned to walk on the pot: the budget disappear spending on diapers, and associates do not get tired to admire the early maturity of the wonder-child, and educational talents of his mother. But there is no truly compelling reason to rush things. Many experts believe that the reason for the appearance of disorders such as enuresis, and chronic delay in the chair, may be too early to teach to the pot. In any case, the child will be ready to stay dry only to the age of about 18 months when he becomes able to control their sphincters. This age is considered to be most beneficial not only in terms of physiology, but also in terms of psychological readiness. It is important to remember that every child develops at their own pace, and, as a rule, boys need more time than girls. This is due to some physiological characteristics.
Starting to wean the child from diapers, be prepared for that at the beginning of his pants will be wet often. Do not scold, and most importantly, no shame for this kid. Shame in this situation is not very good assistant, the child feel guilty and helpless. Remind your child from time to time about the existence of the pot. It is important that the child perceives the pot as a subject, which he readily uses it, feeling themselves at the same time happy and proud of their achievements. And, of course, no stress and duress. At the age of one year to two children are in the anal phase of psychosexual development (as Freud), which, in particular, is associated with the desire for cleanliness and order. Also, this phase is characterized by a special relation to their babies bowel movements, they perceive them as a product of creativity, and pride in their creations. They are pretty hard to get used to the fact that their creations flushed down the toilet. By the way, psychologists analytical direction believe that attempts too early to potty train a child in the future result in reduced creativity and spontaneity. So please be patient and dry pants, a transitional period, of course, quite difficult, but it did not last long. In order for these days and you and the child feel comfortable, choose a time when you do not distract any major concerns.
Every mother finds its way to accustom the child to the pot. For example, wait until he had done in the pants, then join him to shift the "content" in a pot and then into the toilet. Or let the kid himself cope with cistern, most children, this procedure very much. In this area, not so many rules, most importantly - do not forget the words of welcome, addressed directly to the child, not what is in the pot. Then it is not too upset when it is necessary to send him "kaku" in the toilet. It is also better if the pot will take their place in the bathroom, not in the middle of the room. Of course, the first time, sitting the child on the pot - an act not without solemnity, there is, than to admire. But very soon it will cease to be so, so, even if the toilet for some reasons are not too comfortable, choose another private place.
The world is full of miracles, and have children who give up their diapers just for one day. But there are others, and there are many more who do it gradually. If this is your case, try to do so: as soon as your kid went to the potty, put on his pants without a diaper for one hour, then two, then the whole morning. While he was walking without a diaper, regularly ask him if he wanted to pot, especially if he is obsessed with the game. Children have a tendency to run to the toilet in the last minute. Wear your baby pants that can easily be removed. For the first time, if you want to relax, go for a long walk or quietly go shopping, do not hesitate to wear his diaper. All will benefit if you do not worry about the wet pants. As soon as the baby gets used all day to do without diapers, tell him that it was time to learn to stay dry all night. Do not worry if to teach a child to "dry nights" take several months, it is perfectly normal.

Niches in the interior: the proper use of

What is not good, perhaps, every studio apartment, so this lack of personal space. On the small but lovely bedroom has a dream. We can assume that the owners' sesquioxide "apartments were lucky: the niche may turn into a charming retreat for rest and sleep, which is separated from the rest of the room.

However, in order to maintain the appearance of additional space, it is not necessary to separate the niche walls. The most we can afford - is a ledge with one large or several small windows. Indeed, in this intimate part of the apartment must penetrate the sunlight! And in the room is important to maintain a sense of lightness and spaciousness.
Much more convenient to use a mobile version of the partition, such as collapsible screen. Or better - a "wall", folding like an accordion and leaving the pier.
When folded, it does not violate the integrity of the room and the room looks bigger. But should it expand - and before you a single room! One member of the family can relax in the bedroom, while another is working or watching TV. Of course, the issue of soundproofing a wall will not solve, but the lives of several people in one room will be much easier. By the way, another option (among other things, the most simple in execution) - heavy curtains, which absorb sound well and good to protect a rest from glare.
As the bed is better to choose a sofa. Cozy corner to sleep in seconds turn into a mini-living room. Successful addition to the sofa will be a coffee table on wheels (it can also act as a night stand). With this approach, laid out a bed can take all the niche, and it would not be a problem - at any moment can turn it into a zone for receiving guests.
Privacy and some isolation from the outside world needs a man not only during rest and during working hours. Therefore often placed in a niche computer desk and a small library in one or two bookcases. Divide the total area and "cabinet" can easily shelves that will not interfere with natural light.
By contrast the computer screen can put a small sofa that film fans can enjoy watching the new DVD in a cozy atmosphere. Recently, a computer (especially with a large LCD monitor) is increasingly replacing TV. Therefore, the "computer-related" space needed to equip not only for work but also for the pleasant moments of leisure. Bookcase better place along the farthest from the window wall. A computer desk positioned so that at any time of day shone not monitor, that is sideways to the window.
Separately, you should take care of the publicity. Chandelier over the whole area, the lamp at the computer and the wall above the sofa or chairs - this is the minimum program, which will turn a dark corner of a room suitable for work. In general, the lighting - it is a separate issue for the niche. As a rule, it is located in the farthest corner of the window. Accordingly, the semi-darkness, helps to relax and completely inappropriate in the workplace, may prevail in it even during the day. Therefore, those who work from home are not occasional, but always makes sense to organize the workplace more illuminated side of the room, removing the niche role of the living room or bedroom.
If you decide to make it an office, obstavte room so that it was bright and happy. Cheerfulness and optimism - best friends working! You can decorate the room with bright paintings on the walls or living flowering plants. Great vacation for the eyes, so necessary when working at the computer, ensure the aquarium. By the way, he can play the role of the partition separating the working and "common" area. In this case, both the walls should be left transparent, not pasting them picturesque, but hardly transmits light decorative film. If you are the owner of not only "sesquioxide" apartments, but also an interesting collection, better place than the niche-room, for it is not found.
What else can be placed in a niche? By and large, anything! For example, a dining room, if your house a small kitchen. Imagine that you - well-known designer who was asked to create the interior of a small restaurant, and boldly embody ideas in a small area of ​​his "room to room." And it would be: Japan and retro with cushions on wooden benches, solid leather sofas or frivolous rattan chair - you decide.
We recall only the guests: Make sure that at any moment could pristavit a couple of extra chairs for coming to the tea family and friends. Or maybe, and did put in a niche so popular today, the bar? Whatever was your choice, do not forget how to work on the design of the walls. This is the case, when the avant-garde and expression are welcome! And again, the lighting - it needs to consider no less carefully.
Apartment with a niche - the perfect material for a more radical redesign. For example, separating the niche of the total rooms, you can define it under a kitchenette with electric stove. Then the old kitchen is transformed into the second grade room. And in order to place on the newly made for cooking was not too crowded, one of the walls (between the recess and the corridor) can demolish or make it a wide arched doorway.
If "-half" apartment belongs to the young fashionistas, the niche can become a dressing room. Especially her decorate the mirror an entire wall: the hostess can see myself in all its glory, and the room becomes more visually.
Whatever role or playing a niche in your life, it necessarily will be the most comfortable place in the house. After all, it seems specifically designed to implement the boldest and most unexpected design ideas. And what is especially nice, all aimed at trying to make your life more colorful, beautiful and comfortable.

My daughter fell in love with an adult boyfriend

Children grow very quickly, and we do not have time to look around, as it turns out that they are already very adult. Or at least, by himself so it seems. That is why some mothers have to worry about the fact that my daughter fell in love with an adult boyfriend. How to act in such a situation to protect your child from bugs, but it does not spoil the relationship?

Of course, you must be very careful and sensible. Youthful maximalism and first love make children fractious and stubborn, so a ban here will not help in any case. If you simply get a girl to not communicate with her favorite, she will hate you. Of course, this feeling is temporary, and he grew up, your daughter will understand. But now, she will assume that you are taking away her happiness and love life. Even if you close it at home and make a total control, she could find a way to escape, and to spite you, do even more stupid than it could if you would do differently.
Therefore, try to become her friend. At that age, teens rely on their friends much more than their parents. She must understand that you will not condemn it, to prohibit and to teach. Also, do not tell all your friends and acquaintances that my daughter fell in love with an adult boyfriend. The girl must be offended at you to know that those feelings which at this age seem to be the clean and bright, became public.
The best way out of this situation will be constant communication with my daughter twosome. Just never put pressure on her and did not fish for information. Let her know that she can speak only what she wants and when he wants. Of course, the girl will not immediately trust you, especially if you have previously have been conflicts in such soil. But, if you choose a friendly behavior, in a short time the child will understand that you can all trust and she starts talking about their problems. This information will help decide how best to do next.
Of course, in most cases, these relationships do not lead to anything good, as an adult guy sooner or later, just bored child who is your daughter. But there are times when her lover turns out to be really smart and serious young man who loves a girl. To understand this, ask my daughter to invite him to visit. But in any case, do not insist and persuade. Behave as though you almost do not care. If the guy refuses the invitation, it fully confirms its lack of seriousness. Familiarity with mom girls, mostly just scares those who do not want him to make claims similar girl.
When he did agree, try to evaluate it, and its attitude. Of course, every mother wants the perfect pair for your child, but still worth thinking properly and efficiently.
In conversation with a young man try to be too intrusive, and in any case do not say that, in the opinion of your daughter, may offend or discredit it or the guy. Even if you at first sight realized chto this slippery type, continue to behave naturally and amicably. You do need to get the girl listened to you, so you need to maintain the status of her friends.
If young people really behave decently, then maybe it is better to give him a chance. Just try, whenever possible, to control the situation. It may well be that this young man will be able to make your child happy. So do not let yourself prejudice. Always be objective.
Well, how come when you realize that the young person absolutely not suitable for your daughter? In this case, you must convince her of that. But do not try to bring him to clean water, adjusting the compromising situation. It is unlikely that the girl will believe you. Most likely, she will tell you that you specifically are doing and find thousands of excuses to the guy, even what can not be justified in principle.
Conviction - that's the only way to influence the decision of her daughter. You need to constantly talk to her, to discuss a guy as she does with her girlfriends. In her speech will necessarily slip notes of dissatisfaction with some situations. But with this and need to start. Chance to ask questions about what she does not like, try to simulate the different versions as to why this is happening. But never leave the last word. Let your daughter will be able to comprehend everything, and not try to convince you. Tell her instructive stories about similar situations, but try to ensure that all did not look like sermons. The girl must feel that you communicate on an equal and will never make her give up her beloved. All its decisions must be independent. At least, she should think so. Be patient, behave with restraint and tact. Never show their true relationship to the guy. You're wiser than your daughter and her young man, who okruchivaet girl most primitive methods, several times. So enjoy their privileges. Always act in different situations. Your daughter should consciously think that you are her friend, but subconsciously you feel in the staunch authority. If you are able to achieve this, the words you are to her laws, even if the girl does not realize.
Of course, from unhealthy relationships need to get rid as quickly as possible, but in cases with teenagers, haste may still worsen. So please be patient and try to be aware of everything that is happening with your child. Tell yourself: "This is my daughter, for her sake I am ready to even wait to suffer - just to do no harm!". If you do not tear and does not go to extreme measures of education, in the end, all what you say will be a meaningful way, and a daughter, she will make the right choice. And then you will again be able to sleep soundly and not worry that someone might hurt your little girl and break her heart. Indeed, in the end, even if the baby (and your daughter will always be for you baby) fell in love with an adult boyfriend - it's not the end of the world!

Jewels in your cream

Драгоценности в твоем креме Who knows, maybe if your regular day cream to add an extract of orchids, the resulting mixture will be for you this magic wand, and the skin will be as gentle and beautiful as a flower?

Exotic creams, not all can afford, and need not each. But if you're delighted to feel about new products and is not accustomed to spare money for myself, then take note of some truly magnificent ideas. 
Symbol of a beautiful lifeIn Soviet times, was a famous cartoon - "bourgeois" eats caviar spoons. Could hardly find a better symbol of luxury. Times have changed. Let only on holidays, but this exquisite product became available in almost every one of us. Now, luxury is not a jar of caviar in the dining room table, a caviar extract in the cream on the shelf in the bathroom.
Include it in the cosmetic preparations began recently, and because of the few brands in the product line has similar tools. Creams containing caviar, very expensive (from a hundred dollars and above). But, if you believe cosmetologists, and all have tested the action of drugs on themselves, the result is worth it.
Caviar improves micro skin, stimulates the formation of collagen, reduces wrinkles, makes the epidermis elastic and velvety to the touch. The effect is achieved due to high content of protein, vitamins and mineral trace elements needed to supply the cells.
Receiving such a powerful set of nutrients, your skin is "recovering" from within, and natural protective mechanisms that prevent aging and corrosive environment, notably on the rise. Extra bonus - low allergenicity of the extract of caviar. Given the growing number of allergy sufferers, it is perhaps important.



Like many other "luxury" ingredients in cosmetics, black caviar is focused on mature women, after 35-40 years, preceded by acute problem of preserving youth and attractiveness. We have already mentioned that the creams and serums, the extract is quite cope with the task. However, in order to maximize and, most importantly, lasting results, you must take the full course - every day to put the drug on the skin for 30 - 40 days. You can then make a short break and return to your normal moisturizing and nourishing cosmetic. Then again, repeat the "Caviar therapy. This systematic approach will ensure you a lasting effect, but if at the same time you regularly visit a cosmetologist, it is unlikely you will be so upset age-related changes.That grew
Plant extracts in the composition of cosmetic products - for us, not news, but now on the market one after another medication with the most exotic ingredients. Thus, the brand Guerlain has released a line of face care with an extract of the orchid. Brand Tegor uses drugs to strengthen the body Centella Asiatic (centella asiatica) - grass, native to India and Southeast Asia. Indigenous healers have long treated her skin disease. Japan's Kanebo Cosmetics contains real silk, designed to transmit human skin its amazing properties.
However, all these devices are quite expensive, so before you buy them, thinking: they are really needed or you just want to put on a dressing table latest news? Do not forget that exotic ingredients in the creams do not add to "shikanut", and to solve any cosmetic problem.
Especially good for young girls to think is, in fact a complex composition cosmetics can "overload" the skin, reduce its natural protective capabilities. So that all the time. And as the prevention of wrinkles can do exercises every day for the person.



Speaking of unusual plant ingredients, it is impossible not to draw attention to their "national identity" - most of the plants came from Africa or South and Southeast Asia. While European scientists create synthetic chemicals in modern laboratories, and plastic surgeons hone their skills in the East continue to use centuries-old recipes of exposure. Two different cultures offer us two different types of self-care: a fast, high-tech western and leisurely, relaxing oriental. What to choose - it's you. However, to achieve maximum results can also try to combine the methods in both directions. Just remember: in a few days salon procedures experts categorically forbid the use of cosmetics with the original ingredients.Pearl da gold
Another unique component, which, however, is not the first decade of use in cosmetics - is a particle of this 24-karat gold to add to the anti-aging creams and serums.
Gold has a strong bactericidal effect: kills pathogens, without affecting the beneficial bacteria. This is an excellent anti-aging remedy, which day after day, smooths wrinkles. And finally, gold refreshes the skin and helps remove signs of fatigue, which is simply indispensable for modern girls, leading a dynamic life.
This component is used in decorative cosmetics - many reputable brands of creams, powders, eye shadow and lipstick, even with particles of gold. For a party or responsible bye best idea make up, perhaps, not be found.
In addition to the precious metal in the composition of cosmetic products often include pearls. Rather, the powder obtained from it. It gives skin a soft natural glow, tone and improve its appearance.



Often, this ingredient is combined with other "marine" products, such as plankton or algae. This combination allows you to effectively address a range of issues, ranging from prevention of wrinkles and ending with acne. By the way, creams containing powder of natural pearls, recommend young women with skin problems.
There is one "but": Pearl has a bleaching effect. So if you dream about a deep chocolate tan, better choose a different makeup. However, this applies the same rule as for any media with the unusual ingredients: if you want to achieve maximum results - do not buy the advertising and glossy pictures. Do not be lazy to learn about all the possible effects and contraindications. After all, even the most luxurious beauty begins to operate as it should, but in skilled hands.

On a transparent glass sheet is put a solid multi-layer coating, which gives future product color and texture. Drawing on glass is done using a lead broaches, fixed on both sides of the glass. The technology, which is produced by a stained glass window has several compelling advantages, which provide the increasing popularity of stained glass.

There's a section of track was interesting - 400 miles of desert roads and virtually deserted. No refills, no water, nothing. We rode this section of the day and met with just one truck. And in the middle of the way our car got. The engine overheated, because the electric fan was defective and started to pull the air in the wrong direction. If the father was not at hand the necessary tools, we would have died of thirst. Nowadays everything has changed.
Proper preparation of the car for the trip includes primarily literate account of the budget. Here we have smashed the window in the Czech Republic, five thousand miles from his home service center. Here's how to prepare such a surprise? I can not imagine. Glass, in any case with a carry? Of course, I have decided the issue on the spot, good service in the Czech Republic a lot. Just have to have some money in reserve. You know the state of his car and planning on the basis of this your budget. The budget for the possible failure - is a necessary part of preparation for autotravel "(Alexander Butorin).
First, about the money for autotravel. Obligatory costs in the road - fuel, accommodation, catering, parking. Model calculation of the budget looks like.
You should also consider the following expenses: registration of all documents and the car in front autotravel, parking, restaurants, discos, local attractions, toll roads (for example, during autotravel Europe), souvenirs, ferries, shopping and other entertainment. And yet it is necessary to lay the reserve - a kind of emergency supply of money. This expenditure part of the whole depends on the state purse and car safety is determined situationally. Theoretically it completely, but the reserve can be reduced to zero if is such a problem. As an emergency reserve money car safety usually lays about 10-15% of the budget autotravel. Reserve money is kept in cash, apart from the major money. They are easy to wear a special belt bags, dress up a shirt, or in special trouser belt with a cavity inside. Such bags are sold in most stores tourist equipment.A few more tips:

Otherwise, on the border of changing financial minimum required to live up to the meeting with other exchanger. For example, the local currency is preferred in Britain, the Czech Republic, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Slovakia, etc.
    
* Credit cards - a great way to carry money with you. Consult in advance with your bank whether your card is suitable for calculations in the route autotravel. For example, a Visa Electron card is not accepted in EU countries. Maps should take necessary, especially if you go in autotravel in Europe. The fact that some services (car rental, cheap flights, discount stores) can, in principle, pay in cash. Another plus of a credit card: if it is stolen, then you can block it efficiently, thereby saving money.
