 Hello friends, Cleaning the house is challenging especially when you have small children at home. However, maintaining it is crucial because children have developing immune systems. If they are constantly exposed to dust, poor indoor air quality, gems and allergens, they can fall sick repeatedly and cause serious respiratory distress. Besides cleaning your house routinely, you must teach your kids the value of house cleaning. Start by involving them in small chores like collecting their toys, wiping spills, putting away laundry etc. If you have older children, get them to dust, vacuum, sweep or mop.

 Benefits of family meals Family life can be busy, and preparing and sharing family meals together takes time. But when you can manage it, regular family meals are worth the effort. Whether it’s nightly dinners or a special Sunday lunch, family meals are perfect times to catch up, connect and communicate with each other. This can be especially important for busy older children and teenagers. Your child can also learn a lot about food, eating and family traditions by watching what you do at mealtimes. For example, eating with the rest of the family helps younger children learn to eat the same healthy food as everyone else. It can encourage picky eaters to try new foods.

For example, ‘Can I play on my iPad?’ or ‘Can I bake a cake?’ Some requests are easy to handle. For example, ‘Yes, it’s OK to play on your iPad’. Other requests are more difficult. For example, if your child wants to bake, you might think about safety in the kitchen, ingredients or responsibility for cleaning up afterwards.

 About advertising and children Children experience advertising in many forms – on TV, YouTube, apps, radio, billboards, magazines, movies, the internet, online games, text messages, social media and more. And advertising works on children. For example, the more TV a child watches, the more toys that child is likely to want and ask for. This is why it’s important for children to learn that advertisements are trying to make you buy something. Advertisements are trying to influence the way you think or to change your mind about something. And advertisers always aim to make their products look better than they really are.
