10 ideas for family time with toddlers

Salam and hi mommies! Weekends are surely the happiest for mommies for they get to spend the days with hubster and kids. Kan? kan? kan? Most of the time, tukang buat plan nye for weekend activities haruslah mommies. Kan? kan? kan? Whenever tanya daddies 'so minggu ni kita nak ke mana?' and surely mereka akan reply 'ikut mommy la. daddy ok je. nak gi mana cakap je, daddy bawak'. Pernah tak? Kannnn...Memang dah ditakdirkan kita ni jadik planner since wedding lagi. Right? Tapi kahwin tu plan untuk sekali tu je event nye. Family activities ni kita plan tiap-tiap minggu and sometimes tiap-tiap hari (for housewifey). Sampai satu tahap dah kering idea. Pernah tak?

So, hopefully article boleh membantu sikit. Taken from HERE.

  1. Go for a Walk - I will admit, this is our default. Hubby and I love to walk, so when we’re sitting around bored at home, it just makes sense for us to go on a family walk. It’s a fun way to exercise together, it wears the toddler our and we get in some good conversation along the way as well. Definitely a favorite activity! 
  2. Bake Cookies - There’s nothing like sweets to make a boring day better! You could make the dough and then get every one involved decorating sugar cookies or make a simpler recipe like oatmeal raisin/chocolate chip and let the kids take turns adding ingredients and mixing. It will be a messy day, but a fun memory ! 
  3. The Playground - Not necessarily the most innovative of locations, but going as a family can make it exciting! Bring a kite to fly together or bring beach toys & dig in the dirt. It doesn’t have to be an extravagant or expensive outing for the kid to have an amazing time playing with mommy & daddy. 
  4. Zoo Day - Consider investing in a membership to the local zoo or children’s museums. Most offer a yearly family membership that more than pays for itself after a visit or two. Using a membership also eliminates the stress of trying to get your “money’s worth” out of each zoo trip. We have been able to go to our zoo for just 2 hours or so and enjoy walking around as a family, without feeling like we wasted a lot of $ on tickets because we didn’t stay the whole day. 
  5. Pjs, Popcorn & a Movie - Another tried & true idea. Movie nights are always a fun tradition and there are a lot of new kids movies that aren’t much of a sacrifice for parents to watch. Lately we’ve enjoyed the Lorax, Brave and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Each movie is hilarious (both for kids and adults) as well as brightly colored to hold the attention of little ones. 
  6. Start a Family Garden - It doesn’t have to be large an elaborate (though it could be!). You could do something small like keeping a few potted plants to keep on the porch. We have 3 pots on the balcony of our apartment, but our son loves watering them every day and watching them grow. A simple activity, but one that can be done together & it teaches responsibility too! 
  7. Family Craft - Thanks to Pinterest there are so many family craft ideas out there right now, branch out and try something new like this great family handprint craft or this Simple Bird Feeder Tutorial or do some finger print art! Have fun getting creative (and scouring pinterest) together and creating some art to display in your home. 
  8. Go on a Scavenger Hunt - Split up into teams and search for special objects on a list. You could make your own list to share or challenge each other by making lists for the opposite “team”. Meat up at the end to compare “treasures”. 
  9. Go for Ice Cream - Many places offer 99 cent ice cream cones (burger king, wendys & sonic all have them), take advantage of the deal and make it a family outing. This one is sure to be a favorite for the kiddos! 
  10. Host a Sing-a-Long - There’s no denying that children love to sing. Take 30 minutes or so to sing silly songs together like “the wheels on the bus” or “head & shoulders”. Be ready to giggle together as you create your own melodies or words. You may not be the best singer, but to your kids, you are awesome.

Article untuk parents: Otak Kanan Anak

Assalammualaikum lovelies. Few days ago I stumbled upon this interesting article. Some of us may already have read or knew about this. Anyhow, I'm sharing with you this article taken from her status in FB.

Artikel untuk parent and parent to be..

Subject: Otak Kanan - Teknik Jepun Shichida Methods...

Beberapa minggu lepas boss aku ada cakap kat aku yg dia antaq anak die 2
thn pergi Sichida kelas...yakni kelas yg di uruskan oleh jepun melatih
anak-anak befikir menggunakan otak sebelah kanan. Otak sebelah kanan ni lebih
efektif sebenarmya dari otak sebelah kiri tetapi kena practise sikitlah
penggunaannya. Kelas ni mahal,kalau kelas tadika juanna yg aku nak masukkan tahun depan tu cost nye lebih tinggi dari cost kite satu semester kat ITM, tapi boss aku ni atas kesedaran bahawa ramai sgt cine yang pergi kelas tu utk ajar anak2 depa dan melayu cuma setengah kerat aje...dia pun bersetuju ngan niat ikhlasnye untuk ajar aku dan staff melayu yg lain.

Aku pun nak korang practisekan bende ni kat anak korang, sebab baru
seminggu aku buat kat anak aku...dah nampak keberkesanannya.

1. Sewaktu anak nak tidur atau tidur-tidur ayam, cakap kat die sepenuh
hati dan sejujurnya yang kita sayang kat dia, dia budak baik, dia anak
soleh, dia budak kuat, tak sakit, dia budak pandai dsb. Sbb during tidur-tidur ayam ni otak kanan sedang bekerja, otak kiri dah tidur dah, tapi kena buat seikhlas
hati...kalau tengah marah ..tak jadi. kalau anak korang tu dah tidur,
ramas-ramas jari atau tangan dia, macam picitlah supaya dia kembali berada
dalam tidur2 ayam punya situation. Aku buat kat anak aku sebab die bangun
pagi lambat pas tu siap melalak-lalak lagi, aku cakap hari-hari kat dia,
dia budak baik, dia suka pergi sekolah, dia budak sihat, dia nak bangun
awal....sekarang 6.30 dah bukak mata termasuk sabtu n Ahad.

2. Start guna cards untuk ajar anak. Aku ajar ABC-Z guna card seminggu
je,sekarang dah kenal semua huruf dah siap boleh eja perkataan
pendek-pendek..buat card banyak-banyak dan tunjuk kat dia orang
cepat-cepat..macam..a..b..c..d..e, insya Allah cepat die dapat sebab bila
kita tunjuk kad laju-laju atau cepat-cepat otak kanan die bekerja keras untuk tangkap apa benda yang kite tunjuk tu...kita boleh buat card 1,2,3, gambar-gambar...potonglah gambar kat mana-mana dsb.

3. Gerak kerja tangan adalah hasil dari otak kanan, so ajar anak korang
main tanah liat, main water colour, melukis, gunting kertas, origami dsb.
memang le kite yang kene mengemas tapi takpe....satu lagi cuba korang lukis gambar, contohnye rama2, tapi sebelah sahaja dan suruh die orang sambung lukis
ikut apa yg korang lukis tu kat sebelah lagi...ini pun dapat mengaktifkan penggunaan otak kanan....Korang tau kenapa cine, ngan jepun pandai-pandai....sebab depa makan guna chopstik...chopstik tu mengaktifkan kerja tangan and as well gerakkan otak kanan.

4. Jgn marah-marah atau tengking anak........sebab depa boleh simpan
semuanya dalam otak kiri....kalau termarah depa, pi balik kat cara no 1
tadi, and mintak maaf kat die.....

5. Satu lagi develop they all punya imagination by start bercerita kat die
orang dan suruh depa sambung cerite tu, walaupun cerita tu memang lah
merapu takpa.....kita pun bukan tak biasa merapu....

6. Main teka-teki ngan they all, taruk satu barang dalam kotak tissue and
suruh depa teka apa benda tu. First few times boleh bagi option
macam....bagi tau colour, bunyi, lama-lama depa boleh develop six sence by concentrating depa boleh teka apa benda dlm kotak tissue tu........ni semua utk aktifkan otak sebelah kanan. Tapi ingat.....semua game yg hangpa nak buat ngan dia tu cuma boleh buat setengah jam sehari....tak payah lama-lama.

Sebelum buat exercise ni, kena tarik nafas dalam-dalam and relaks...tak
boleh buat time tengah nak masak ka, basuh kain ka tengok tv ka, tak
jadi....Buat kena ikhlas, and merendah diri sikitlah bila dah terror ini semua satu cara yng Tuhan lagi Maha Mengetahui kalau Dia izin anak kite nak pandai
Alhamdulillah tapi kita kena berusaha, dan bersyukur kalau dah berhasil sebab bila2 Dia boleh tarik balik..betui dak......Aku pun tengah try lagi ni...

Lagi satu untuk berkongsi sesama pembaca....

Kaunselor UTM pun ada cakap benda yang sama dan dia
ada ckp ttg perkataan jangan kat anak-anak. kalau kita banyak sangat guna
perkataan jangan kat anak-anak.....itu lah yang anak akan buat.....so lepas nie kena ganti perkataan jangan tu kepada perkataan lain plak...contohnya....Tolong
senyap Abang,,,berbanding Jangan bising bang..

Dlm Islam sendiripun menggalakkan kita ibubapa bercakap2/berdoa dgn anak2
ketika mrk dlm proses nak tidur sbb pada ketika itulah di antara waktu2 doa dimakbulkan.
