Children & Hobbies: Here's How To Find A Great Hobby For Your Child
Monday, April 5, 2021
Children are little balls of energy from sun up to sun down and as parents, we exhaust ourselves trying to keep up with them. Smaller children often leave a trail of destruction behind them and older children are interested in everything and anything with a healthy dose of being fearless with it. One of the best ways to help you to get your children burning off this energy is with a hobby that'll help them to realize that they love something new, while giving them a shot at being excellent at something they love. Think back to the years you had a hobby when you were a kid, and the hours you spent at classes or getting busy with the newfound love of your life. Now think about whether these were directed by adults or hobbies you came up with on your own?
Most children are involved in hobbies that are directed by their parents or at least gently guided by them! Whether you had a hobby that was quiet and contemplative, like model making, or you had a hobby like karate or running long distance, all of the fun, joy and chances to socialize with people outside of school are there to be had. Hobbies can benefit all children in a range of ways, but the best one is that hobbies can really help to build your child's self-esteem. Hobbies allow your children to express the accomplishments that they are involved in outside of a school environment, and they enable them to discover who they are. They are educational tools to help children to discover their interests and learn where they can develop them further, too. By being involved in new hobbies, whether this is a karate course or a place in a Gymnastics Academy for future Olympic dreaming, children will set goals and be able to make decisions for themselves. Hobbies enable them to be independent individuals with hopes and dreams that they can develop for themselves.
Five Great Sports For Kids
Monday, July 27, 2020
At one time or another, most parents will consider starting their children in sports. Joining a local sports team or club is very common for kids, and it can be a great outlet for them. Nevertheless, it can be stressful for a parent to make this decision, and it can be difficult to decide what sport is best suited to their child.
It’s natural for a mother or father to be concerned, especially if it’s your firstborn. However, instinctive worry is part of parenthood and should not be the determining factor when making a decision about your child playing sports. Although injuries can happen, serious ones are quite rare, and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Sports of all kinds can have amazing benefits for children. On a physical note, it develops their fitness levels, improves balance, enhances coordination, and makes them stronger. For mental development, sports promote teamwork, sportsmanship, and can improve social skills.
There is no ideal age for a child to start playing sports, as they all develop at different stages. At five years old or younger, sports that focus on basic motor functions are most beneficial. Games or activities that involve running, jumping, throwing, and catching are perfect.
From the age of five and beyond, children are capable of engaging in more complex sports. This is where you may begin considering starting your kids in a sports team or club.
With this in mind, here are five great sports for your kids to play.

7 Fairly Simple Ways To Make Your Kids More Attentive And Focused
Wednesday, August 28, 2019
Kids aren’t supposed to be the whole package just yet. They’re always going to be growing and learning (heck, there are men and women well into their thirties, forties, and fifties that are still picking basic things up!) But it would be nice if they could take in a few skills early on so that they have a solid foundation to build on as they grow. Basic cognitive skills, manners, and domestic chores are a few examples of what we’re talking about here.
The ability to pay attention and stay focused on things is another – and it’s a pretty significant one. It’s quite a simple and doable thing, but many kids (and, infuriatingly, adults) don’t quite grasp the concept very well. A more focused and attentive child has a better chance of growing into a competent and confident grown-up. If you feel as though your child is somewhat away with the fairies at times, then let’s have a little look at some of the things you can do as a parent.

Football Cheerleading & Competition Season Fall 2018
Friday, November 16, 2018
So we did cheerleading this past fall. If you haven't been following along on Instagram, please make sure you do. I share so much more over there in my stories. But I thought I would share some of the highlights from this past season. We had amazing coaches who we are going to miss if they decide not to coach again. Everything was so well organized with them too. They are all teachers so they were naturally great with the kids.
We cheered for the Locust Grove Falcons. We had two competitions and they won for their age division plus the coaches won as well. We also had to make a banner for the football players to run through at homecoming and the cheerleaders got little tiaras and sashes. It was so cute.

Peanut's 1st Braves Game {Wordless Wednesday LINKY}
Wednesday, October 7, 2015
Friday my husband got some tickets through work so we took the kiddos to the Braves game. It was Peanut's first National League Baseball game. The weather was cold and a little rainy, but Hubby ended up catching a foul ball and then a Cardinals fan gave us one of the free bobble heads. Plus they had Friday Night Fireworks. AND the Braves won!
