Let me start with a quote I used to come across in my everyday life, "Kids are always Kids, and should remain kids". Very true, would you like to see a kid who is very serious about his life or would be rather happier looking at a kid who is joyfully playing with his toys and his video games. Research has proved that kids are at their perceiving best when they enjoy what they do.
Well, we have come across many parents who yell at their kids for not studying and just lazing around their time playing video games. But I would like to thank the developers who thought of an idea which helped in integrating video games to educate a kid. These are called educational games, and are designed specifically to teach a kid the in-depth concept of a certain subject. This is probably a revolution in the education sector in educating small kids. Moreover I feel, now even the parents are bothered to look for educational games for their dear little ones.
Educational games are known for stimulating the overall growth of a kid. It generally promotes the physical, social and emotional growth among the kids. Some of the benefits of educational games:
• It provides a medium that promotes an immediate and challenging visual feedback within a fun safe virtual environment.
• Research has proved that kids exposed to educational software games developed many skills like Logical Reasoning skills and decision making.
• Educational games also help the kids to interact with the other kids of their age to solve a particular puzzle or a problem.
There are different classes of educational games that help the kids to fine tune their skills. Let us have a sneak peek at what the parents go for to take off their kid's trouble facing in Maths? Well it is an edutainment software called the Manga High. This is a math game for higher elementary and lower middle school students, created by the top brains at Oxford University.
If you are ever wondering it is very difficult for you to shop educational software game to your dear little ones, there exists a solution for everything. Thanks to the internet. Yes, the internet also offers a variety of online games to play with for the kids of all age groups. All these online educational games are designed in such a way that they'll be enhancing the learning process continuously while the games are being played.
But it is the first and foremost responsibility of the parents or elders to try and find the right website for the kids. The site should be first analysed on how helpful it can be in enhancing the learning process of a kid and also needs to justify the ways it can make the kids enjoy a particular game. At present, there are a huge number of web portals offering educational games. And 'm very sure that these educational game performance will have a place in your kid's report card in the near future. Watch out!!!

5 Tips For Dating As A Single Parent
Going through a divorce is a traumatic experience for the kids. Small kids adapt pretty well, but older ones take it hard. Kids never want to see their parents divorce, but it happens to many thousands of families. When a new love comes into the parent's life, most kids are filled with resentment and jealousy.
It is up to the parent to make the kids understand that no other person will ever take their place. Usually after a divorce the single parent gets back on her feet and decides she wants to start dating. She thinks about her time clock and worries about spending her life alone. Now that you've decided to check out the dating sites, there are 5 tips for dating as a single parent that you should follow.
1. Dating profile- Research the dating sites and choose one that will help you with your profile. Be honest and as specific as possible without giving personal information. Let them know that you have kids and you are looking for someone who loves kids. Stay away from online dating.
2. Speed dating events- This is the best dating method as most singles are looking for a relationship. You get to meet several people all in one evening (like a min-date) for five to ten minutes. It gives you enough time to see if you like any of these people and to get to know them a little. That's what first date's are for. Since time is limited, you'll need to have ten questions of importance that you want to ask each date.
3. First date- This is when you need to feel your date out and tell him briefly about your kids. You should get a reaction, although he knew it was on your profile. If he seems interested and you like him, continue the conversation but ask him if he has kids. Then you can switch to hobbies and interests. If he doesn't seem interested in kids, or has the attitude that you're carrying a lot of baggage, make an excuse to leave. Never put anyone else's wants or feelings before your kids.
4. Introducing your kids to your date- Never introduce your kids to your date until you know it's turning into a relationship. Get to know him better and let him know the kids are part of the relationship too. If he appears to be thrilled, then you can introduce him.
5. How the kids will react- Your kids may feel resentment towards your new love and that's normal. They will blame him for you splitting up with their dad, and older kids will smart mouth him. Tell them he is a new friend in your life and he will never take their place. If he does nice things for the kids, they will like him. In time, they will accept him as part of your life. Involve him in your kids activities and go on picnics together.
It's never easy for a divorced parent to meet a new love and include him in their life when the kids are jealous. If he understands this, it will get better over time and your life with him and the kids will be a great one.
The 5 tips for dating as a single parent are from an experienced divorced mother who went through the trials of dating and kids.

Why Family Villas Are Perfect For A Family Holiday
While you try to keep your children quiet in a hotel, you can let
them enjoy their selves in high spirits while you relax, knowing that
your luxury villa has its own land and is private and enclosed meaning
you don’t have to worry about the Smith’s or Jones’ across the corridor
or in the next room complaining because your children are doing what
they are supposed to on holiday, enjoy their selves!
It can be a nightmare when taking the family on holiday, especially when you get frowned at in a hotel for the noise your excited children are making as you arrive, or eat your meals. Hotels are a good form of accommodation and although many are family friendly it is often not the most relaxed place for a parent to stay with excited kids. This problem can be easily fixed though, Luxury family villas are the perfect solution. In some ways more luxurious than a hotel, a luxury villa is a home from home which is what I’m sure most people would prefer.
Family villas have many benefits. Flexibility is a key one, you can eat when you like and cater to your own families tastes rather than be confined to a structured hotel menu. As a parent I am all too familiar with children not respecting a set schedule at times! One of my highlights of a holiday is actually something really simple, I love to barbecue. To many people, especially me summer is symbolised by the children playing in the pool or garden while you and your partner enjoy the sun, with the smell of barbecue filling the air. Sitting in the late afternoon sun with a cold beer and juicy burger while the kids eat having worked up an amazing appetite is one of the simplest things that I truly enjoy. I couldn’t do that in a hotel without raising a few eyebrows and fire alarms!
Holiday villas also make the perfect base for exploring the area or taking holiday day trips. Having a hub to base all your trips around can be a great way of making the most of your holiday location. The added benefit of having a base is that you don’t have to take everything with you. You can leave what you don’t need at your villa.
Many people see holidays as a lot of inconvenience to have a little fun, but a family can enjoy a much more relaxing holiday in a luxury villa with far less family disruption and much more fun.
