Help Your Baby Develop CharacterWritten by Fidel Viana
Continued from page 1
How we conduct our everyday activities can show our children that we always try to do our best to serve our families, communities and country. The way that we view money and material goods also can mold our children's character. If we see our self-worth and worth of others in terms of cars, homes, furniture, nice clothes and other possessions,our children are likely to develop these attitudes as well. Of course, it is important to meet our children's needs, but it is also important to help them understand difference between their needs and their wants. The expensive jacket that your child has to have may be OK--if you can afford it. Finally, we need to be consistent in upholding values we want our children to respect and not present them with conflicting values. We may tell our children that cheating is wrong, for example, yet brag to a neighbor about avoiding paying taxes. We may say that rudeness to others is unacceptable, yet laugh when we see that behavior on a favorite TV show.

Try basic exercise below each day for next week and feel benefits. 1.Stand (or sit) comfortably. 2.Inhale into your belly (not your chest) and feel it expand. 3.Once full with air, being your exhale, and squeeze your abdominals at same time. 4.Do not rush this exhalation. It should be smooth with no impediments. A good way to perform this exhale is through pursed lips. 5.Repeat at least ten times. Note – Do not squeeze and try to force air out while holding breath. Breathing exercises such as this may be dangerous. Ideally, perform where fresh air is circulating. Having experienced this you should be feeling great! Your abdominals will have been exercised, you will have breathed deeply, and energised yourself in as little as ten breaths! It is worth saying that you should not utilise one hundred percent muscular contraction in your first attempts at working your midsection this way. It may lead to injury. Instead, focus on incrementally adding tension as you become more proficient at it. There are many other methods for working midsection that one can do without machine based, or standard movements, but as a start above exercise should provide you with food for thought on how one can get a great core workout in without having to wait in line at gym for abdominal cradles to be free! Have at it! © Tim Webb 2005
