Responsibility

As I was doing my laundry, my nephew aged 7 years walks to the sink with his muddy slippers and takes a hand brush and soap then he begins to clean them. Naturaly he would have dump them on the sink and attend to his business, and wait for the house help to clean them. He began cleaning them with keenest to ensure they shined. This got me thinking, what is responsibility? According to web defination, responsibility as a duty is; the social force that binds you to the courses of action demanded by that force.

I was to give a commendation later on but s...

Why I am Scout

The Benefits of Cub Scouting As a worldwide brotherhood, Scouting is unique. It is based on the principles of loving and serving God, of human dignity and the rights of individuals, and of recognizing the obligation of members to develop and use their potential. It is a movement dedicated to bringing out the best in people. Cub Scouting doesn't emphasize winning as an end result, but rather the far more demanding task of doing one's best. When Scouting can help nurture courage and kindness and allow boys to play, to laugh, to develop their imaginations, and to express their feelings, then we will have helped them grow. We want boys to become useful and stable individuals who are aware of their own potential. Helping a boy to learn the value of his own worth is the greatest gift we can give him. Cub Scouting Is Fun Boys join Cub Scouting because they want to have fun. For boys, however, fun means a lot more than just having a good time. "Fun" is a boy's code word f...

Tantrums

How to Deal With Your Child's Temper Tantrums by Brenna E. Lorenz Some children throw tantrums and some never do. Children throw tantrums as a way of expressing anger and frustration. If the behavior is dealt with incorrectly, the child may learn to use tantrums to manipulate people and to gain attention. In dealing with tantrums, the ultimate goal is to teach the child acceptable ways of expressing anger. Surviving the tantrum The most important things to remember when your child is in the throes of a tantrum are: a) Don't punish the child. b) Don't reward the child. c) Stay calm and ignore the behavior to the extent possible. d) Keep the child safe. e) Isolate the child if possible. f) Don't let the disapproval of other people affect your response to the tantrum. When your child throws a tantrum, she is essentially out of control. You must make sure that you stay firmly in control. Punishing the child for throwing a tantrum, by yelling or spanking ...
When you find someone Special M any days-Life seem so soo lonely, A ll we can do is pretend and put on an act. U ncovering the darkness of our hearts, R eading from a different script all the time, E ven to the point of hiding our true self. E nduring the pains, hurts and sorrows, N early to the point of breaking! But a new moon suddenly appears! T ruly an angel comes at the right time, I nstilling bright lights in our dark hearts, F inding dawn at last from lost nights, F ear has ruined my joy and happiness, A nger deepening and sinking further in me, N ow that I have found joy with you, Y ou shall forever be my “Shining Star” And I will never get tired to shout “Maureen my sunshine”
