Christmas For Sale


CHRISTMAS FOR SALE
Christmas, Christmas will visit again. Oh no? What can I do this coming Christmas? I have no idea what is Christmas?. Christmas is the time of giving and sacrificing but how? I’m only a future teacher, what is my role? I know my role is to guide, to create a lesson plan, to facilitate and to teach young children, because of Christmas I will change it.

Christmas is an important part of childhood experiences, because there are some happy moments that the child is experiencing. The child has opportunity to enjoy and to experience Christmas day.

As a teacher I will be know on how to explain what is Christmas for a young children. Why we need to celebrate Christmas? Who is Santa Claus and what is the purpose of Christmas in every people?  These are the common question of the young children that we should be know on how to elucidate for young children. The word Christmas is familiar for young children, because they expected that they can receive beautiful gifts from their ‘ninongs and ninangs and they feel excitement.

The role of a teacher is to explain and to guide the young children to know the purpose of Christmas. Christmas is another way of giving special something to your someone who loves you and also for someone who hates you.
  
 If we explained the Christmas concept correctly the child could create a concept about Christmas in a positive way. They can share the love of Christmas so that other people can feel the essence of Christmas.

The essence of Christmas is to spread the love and joy to another people. So that you will feel the good breeze of Christmas and you will smell the fragrance of Christmas.
The Christmas will visit again and I will feel again. From now on I will start the day with enjoyment, excitement, new hope and love again to sell my Christmas to other person.

Common problems in Preschool- Eced 13

Common Preschool Problems
Here is a guide to common problems in preschool children. See the Infection's Guide for information on common childhood infections.

appendicitis
asthma
bedtime problems
bedwetting
bowed legs
constipation
crossed eyes
flat feet
intoeing/outtoeing
knock knees
labial adhesions
nosebleeds
rashes
sibling rivalry
sleep problems
stuffy nose/sneezing
stuttering
toilet training resistance
upper respiratory infections

 Common Preschool Problems

  • Constipation: a very common and frustrating problem in children. It is usually defined as the passage of hard and painful stools or going four or more days without a bowel movement. Constiption is most commonly caused by a diet that is low in fiber, but can also be caused by drinking too much milk (more than 16 to 24oz/d), not drinking enough water or waiting too long to go to the bathroom. Initial treatment is increasing the amount of fluids he drinks and increasing the amount of fiber and bran in his diet. It is usually also helpful to decrease the amount of constipating foods in his diet, including cow's milk, yogurt, cheese, cooked carrots, and bananas. Stool softeners may be necessary if these steps don't work.
  • Upper Respiratory Infections: these are very common and include symptoms of a clear or green runny nose and cough and are usually caused by cold viruses. The best treatment is to use salt water nasal drops and a bulb suctioner to keep their nose clear. Call your Pediatrician if your child has high fever, difficulty breathing or is not improving in 7-10 days
  • Vomiting: usually accompanies diarrhea as part of a viral infection. If your child starts vomiting, it is best to give them a break from eating and drinking for an hour or so and then start to give small amounts of Pedialyte (1 teaspoon) every five or ten minutes. Once your child is able to tolerate drinking these small amounts you can increase the Pedialyte to about a tablespoon every five or ten minutes and then larger amounts as tolerated and then change back to his regular formula. Avoid giving just Pedialyte for more than 12 hours. Call your Pediatrician if the vomit has blood in it, if it is dark green, or if your child is showing signs of dehydration (which includes not urinating in 6-8 hours, having a dry mouth and weight loss).
  • Diarrhea: a common problem and is often caused by a viral infection. Call your Pediatrician if the diarrhea has blood or pus in it, if it is not getting better in 1-2 weeks or if you see signs of dehydration (which includes not urinating in 6-8 hours, having a dry mouth and weight loss). You should continue with their regular diet, but may give 1-2 ounces of Pedialyte each time that he has large diarrhea stool to prevent dehydration.
