Bringing up children is not only a matter of love and being a nice parent. Extreme love and patience can actually be harmful for the child, especially if the child is aggressive, attention-seeking and rowdy. There is a need to discipline children after a certain age and sometimes a stern attitude may be required.

Children decode verbal and non-verbal signals in various ways. They also express their feelings in different ways. Children with a passive temperament are likely to withdraw, behave indifferently or indulge in self destructive activities if they are hurt. On the other hand, active and impulsive children are more prone to indulge in aggressive and sensation seeking activities.

While active children are more susceptible to aggressive behavior, absence of proper of nurturing is likely to bring forth the characteristic more strongly. There are certain things that you have to learn to avoid while nurturing children, especially active children.

Today’s tips are from The Ladies’ Union Cook Book, published in 1903. These are from the section called “Serviceable Suggestions”.

A spoonful of vinegar put into the water in which meats or fowls are boiled makes them tender.

In boiling custard or anything containing milk, do not salt till removing from the fire, and the milk will not curdle.

When butter is too hard to cream easily, heat the bowl slightly; never warm the butter.

More tips from later in the book:

Salt and vinegar will remove stains from discolored cups, etc. and will clean copper and brass.

Salt thrown on soot or fresh ink on a carpet will help to prevent stain.

A damp cloth dipped in salt will remove eggstains from silver or tea stains from china dishes.

There are great reasons to line-dry clothes. The sun can kill dust mites, the sun can whiten and deodorize, there is no electricity used, and more. But the convenience of the dryer is something most of us rely on with gratitude.

Not only does it take no more time than it takes to move the laundry from the washing machine to the dryer, but you can easily dry clothes at any time of day or night. Fortunately, a few simple steps can help lessen the energy load your dryer may be costing you.

What to do with your coffee grounds? You can use them straight up as mulch on plants that love an acid soil (azaleas or blueberries anyone?), in potting soil and more. Here are five ideas for using coffee grounds and more:

Coffee grounds have long been a favorite addition to compost piles. But did you know that they are also an excellent amendment to potting soil? They’re lightweight, porous, high in organic matter and attractively dark. Plus, if your soil is alkaline, their natural acidity helps balance the pH. A good source of used grounds is your local coffee shop, where they’re usually happy to give them away.

You’ll be surprised at all the other uses you can find for them.

Grounds make a dark, attractive mulch around acid-loving plants, such as azaleas, hydrangeas, hollies, and blueberries.

How to mediate bullying behaviors associated with the disorder

A new Swedish study says that children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are nearly four times as likely to become bullies. Conversely, the February issue of the journal of Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology states that children who now exhibit ADHD symptoms had a ten-fold chance of having been a prior target of bullying.

The study’s co-author Dr. Anders Hjern, professor in pediatric epidemiology at the University of Uppsala in Stockholm, says the results show the importance of paying attention to the interactions between children with ADHD versus healthy children. It might explain whether it is the ADHD children who are causing difficulties, or rather if they are acting out as a result of the bullying.
