What are the Top 5 things you can teach/share with a 6 year old?
I am interested in what other fathers/mother do with their kids to help them become kind, caring and humble human beings.
Vicki Hernandez
Nov 17 2011: I have three children, ages 16, 10 and 6. We have been writing in and keeping a gratitude journal(s) as a family since 2004. Every night, sometime after 8:30 pm, we sit down togethe, quietly, and take turns saying what we are thankful for that particular day. I write everything down in their exact words and once everyone has had a turn we "Thank God for the day" and then say prayers for our friends, family and animals as well as talk to God as a family about anything specific that may be going on at the time. When one of the kids has a friend spend the nighht, the friend is included as well and asked what they are thankful for that day. We have had MANY "guests' gratitude lists recorded over the last seven years. Today, my six year old was thankful that her teacher brought a wasp's nest into class and that she played "nerf war" at her friends house and that she passed her "white-sash" test in Kid-Fu, and.....and...and...and.. she generally has a long list and I am happy to record everything she says. I have found this daily practice has created a sense peace, belonging, connection, grounding and has really provided my children with an opportunity to develop a relationship with a loving God and to understand, a thankful heart is a happy heart

2800 days..... celebrate when you reach three thousand
:-)Nov 23 2011: me too :) fantastic. thanks so much vickiNov 17 2011: I agree. This is a fabulous idea. I would add that it makes just as much sense in a Buddhist or other non-Christian context as well.

My Top 5 things to share with a 6 yr old: (in no particular order)
1) The golden rule (Show examples every chance you get!)
2) A sense of wonder about the world (It's important for them to know you don't know everything; learn together!)
3) The importance of doing your best. (Even if it isn't good enough for someone else, they know they gave it their all and can feel pride. A gentle reminder that NOBODY is perfect comes in handy here.)
4) Each others' interests. (A well rounded parent fosters a well rounded child.)
5) All the ways you love them!
Nov 16 2011: great thoughts, Sharon... I completely agree with each of them and commend you on the positive nature of your suggestions. some of the other postings focus on mistrust and being 'better' than others while your's is truly encouraging the younger generation to be strong and commit to bettering themselves
Nov 16 2011: Thank you for your kind words Geoff. I appreciate that you noticed what my underlying philosophy is; optimism. It doesn't always come easily to me, but where my children are concerned, I try to make it work! My husband just reminded me of another important concept to share, and even though they only asked for 5 things, I think I'd add #6) Apologizing is not a sign of weakness. (If you're wrong, admit it, make it right and move on, but mean it when you say 'I'm sorry'.)
Nov 16 2011: Thanks Sharon too :)Nov 16 2011: What's the golden rule?

Nov 17 2011: Thanks. Didn't know it was called that.Nov 16 2011: Wow! We have just about the exact same house rules!
1. #1 House Rule: Treat everyone the way you want to be treated. (Eliminates sibling rivalry and enhances the ability to self assess when I respond to contentious situations with a consistant simple question - Are you treating eachother the way you want to be treated?)
2. Learning IS fun! When we have time to fill, we do experiments and projects, we go on family ecology trips, and belong to an ecology education group called Earth's Classroom. We try to figure out why kites fly, why birds sing in the morning, and what happens when we mix paint colors with our toes.
3. We (insert last name)s are hard workers. We (insert last name)s aren't liars ... etc. Also, I may ask for an explanation on why a test comes home with a few wrong answers, but an A test that comes home with a blank answer is definitely met with major disappointment. We (insert last name)s ALWAYS try our best!
4. We're checking off a major To Do list of everything from learning yo-yo tricks to how to do things even I don't know yet. ...And we READ about everything.
5. Our favorite game is: "I love you more than a (fill in the blank)! Usually something like, garbage truck, septic tank, 1,000 snakes. Wow, can 6 year old boys come up with some doozies!
....Makes for an amazingly wonderful life! : )
Nov 17 2011: Melinda, it sounds like you have a heck of a lot of fun! I know we're always laughing at our house...I especially like your #5. I can only imagine how my 7 and 9 yr old boys would finish that sentence! I appreciate that you took a moment to reply to my post. I really enjoy hearing that we've got a similar child rearing philosophy.
Cheers!Nov 16 2011: The golden rule.
Some of the things that I'd want done on to me, are not things others want done onto them. And vice versa. i never liked the golden rule for that reason. It makes people think that everyone else is like them. People are unique.
Nov 16 2011: Ah, but I want others to recognize the uniqueness in me, try to see my needs and fulfill them as best they can ... so that is how I try to treat others. : ) ....Once the six-year-old starts maturing into a 16 year old and then a 26 year old, there are so many more nuances that come along with it.Nov 17 2011: James, I see what you're saying, but as Melinda mentioned, that is a bit too abstract for a 6 yr old. Personally, I would like to think that the other things I'm teaching my boys will help them realize that everyone is different and unique in their own way, but that what we have in common outweighs what separates us. Thank you for chiming in. I'm really enjoying this discussion!Dec 4 2011: I think the gyst of the golden rule is to treat others kindly. So if you're a masochist and the golden rule shouldn't apply, then just go with "Treat others Kindly."

Nov 12 2011: I must refer you to The Parents Tao Te Ching, A New Interpretation by by William Martin. The wisdom in this book will help you as it helps me. I was the eldest of 9 children over 20 years. Sometimes children act out when they cannot get your attention and feel your love. Media and material toys isolate their little hearts. Take a walk, talk, talk, talk. When children act out often it is because they are hungry, tired, overstimulated, need more time at home, and routine. Sometimes because limits give them a sense of security. If you make your home a safe haven and eat and talk as a routine at home...not in the car or restaurant, they feel much more secure. Tell them early that there are dangerous people they may encounter, and that they must never be afraid to tell you if they meet someone like this even if that person threatens them or your safety. Children will endure years of abuse to protect a parent. I know this personally. Then don't have more children than you can handle teach and love. As they grow you have to loosen the ties. Three is exponentially more than two. Get the book... and take care of yourself, sleeping, eating, resting...but you have a child and now that child is more important than you are. Don't search for a mate, if you are single to the extent that you neglect your child. Never put your mate or your needs 1st. as I did. I thought I had to find a father after a divorce. Three children by three men and it was worse each time. Be at peace...you have a beautiful gift. Read... Take walks....don't spoil with gagets and TV, Communicate. Blessings

Mary Schanno
Nov 14 2011: Thank you, Linda and all....There is one "toy" that has given decades of pleasure and remarkable results for my children. I am an artist and there is an Italian clay block called "Plastilina" used by sculptors. It should be purchased in the==== SOFT GREY==== variety. Even this must be warmed and worked in the hands and sticks or a few wooden sculpting tools in a basket makes a wonderful holiday, or birthday present. This clay never hardens, it is natural and you will be stunned by the creatures and creativity evoked by this material. I also provided quality sketch books and colored pencils and hard and soft pencils for car trips and home. If the clay figurines break or fall apart...if they do it's ok... new ones will appear and it teaches non-attachment from age 4 to 20 I find a little bags of this clay yet in coat pockets and it was purchased over a decade ago! The Tao Te Ching is inexpensive and thin, the clay...one block comes wrapped in paper like a pound of butter, and gives years of joy to parent and child and is worth every penny because it lasts and lasts does not dry out, and does not destroy or stain furniture, rugs or car seats! It is a stress reliever, and joy producer!
- +2
Nov 16 2011: actually, plastilina is not a naturally occuring substance. It is a petro-chemical product combined with plant matter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasticine. Use real clay, instead, and teach about real clay properties (like having to keep it wet, how to dry it slowly, how to recycle the unused bits or dried up broken pieces in water, how to clean up after use, how to store the clay, ...Nov 17 2011: thanks for the email, Mary and you are welcome. We used plasticine in the classroom for years, but a few years back, out of commitment to use only quality and natural classroom equipment and materials, decided to use only the real stuff. The switch required a lot of trial and error, but now have a nice process so that the children are independent in choosing and using the work without adult interference or control (imperative in Montessori).Nov 16 2011: Thanks Mary. I just bought the book on Amazon.
Mary Schanno
Nov 17 2011: Oh, you will be very happy...I find it so useful in changing my paradigm for relating to everyone but especially for teens and adult children too. I wish I had it when mine were young! I would not be undoing damage I caused whose paradigm dated back to my parents and their parents and the 1900's! It has been said that just carrying a Tao Te Ching with you raises consciousness. No one knows who the actual author is but the translation from Chinese is "words of wise old man." Thank you, and enjoy...lucky child you have...wise parent.Nov 16 2011: We've introduced our girls to caring about the community and the world around them. Our daughters are 5 and 7, and both have a huge heart. It started when we explained the consequences of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and they were so profoundly touched by it that it wasn't sufficient that we donated for the family - they insisted on taking money out of their own piggy banks and bring it to the Canadian Red Cross in person.
- +2
My 7-year-old was also introduced to a young girl with cancer, and decided to cut off 11" of her hair for Locks of Love (an organization that makes wigs for kids with cancer).
We also try to teach our girls that everyone is special. What makes us different, whether it be our language, our looks, our religion, our nationality or our tastes, also makes us unique and beautiful. We teach them that being different isn't just OK, it's part of what makes the world amazing and exciting. We encourage them to ask questions and to appreciate individuality. How boring life would be if we were all the same!
I think the biggest hearts of all are found in the tiniest members of humanity. Teaching them empathy, supporting their efforts to help in their own way, and trying to lead by example goes a long way in raising them to be kind and to contribute to a better world in any way they can.
Nov 16 2011: What did you learn from your daughters selfless acts
Nov 16 2011: I learned that children are without a doubt the most amazing creatures. Their innocence makes them want to love and give unconditionally and selflessly, which leads me to believe that we learn selfish behaviour as we grow. If we can encourage their natural instincts from the beginning, children can grow to be better people.Nov 16 2011: Walking the path of love! I have had similar ideas to what I want to teach my 3year old:-)

People who love you will discipline and correct you. Do not dislike them for it.
God exists. You are His creation. You are both a physical and a spiritual being. Take care of both.
Do not say things that you know are not true. Telling lies will always hurt someone, usually you.
You want to be treated fairly and kindly. Treat others the same way, even when they do wrong to you.

Nov 16 2011: Telling a child that God exists is both untrue and unfair, because you are taking advantage of your authority and the child's credulity by telling that lie.

Nov 16 2011: Let's return to civility and mutual respect. Remember, the question solicited opinion and that is what I wrote. Not everyone who responds will have the same opinion. That should not be license to call someone who disagrees with you a liar and a bully parent.
- +5
Exercising parental authority is precisely what a parent should do. One could not raise a child without doing it.
If you have succeeded in accomplishing the impossible by proving a negative please share your proof that God does not exist.
We are at loggerheads Austen. I consider your statement that God does not exist to be a lie. Let's stick to the free expression of opinion regarding the original question without further name calling. God bless you.
Nov 17 2011: Edward; "return to civility and mutual respect" what are you talking about? Austen was perfectly civil and not at all disrespectful.
If Austen deserves any criticism at all it is for the use of untrue where unproven would be more appropriate.
You are completely entitled to your opinion (as is Austen!) but this is TED. It is a forum for free thought and open minds. This is not a religious sandbox for you to advocate the indoctrination of innocent children. Every person should be entitled to form their OWN views on deity and religion. NO person should be force-fed and brainwashed into a corner before they have had the chance to develop their own objective perception.
Your manipulation of Austens words into liar and bully say far more about you that anyone else.
God bless you too...

1. Compassion - A little buddhist/christian/human help understanding can go a long way.
2. Understanding how lucky we are and to be grateful for it. We live in a country where there is poverty but there is still running water and free healthcare. Take your kids to Africa, Eastern Europe, SE Asia or even central Australia and they will see what it is about.
3. It's okay to make mistakes - mistakes are a natural part of growing up, some even say that mistakes are the only way of coming up with an original thoughts or ideas. Kid need to learn that it is okay to make mistakes .
4. Respect - Mainly respect for themselves, children now days are being bombarded with what they "should" be. As parents it is our jobs to make them realise they are great as they are. But also respect for the environment, animals, everyone. It goes hand-in-hand with compassion.
5. Acceptance - Teaching children that everyone is equal and a person sounds like a given, but to many parents and children I meet are either homophobic, elitist or racist. It is paradoxically one of the nice things about working in healthcare, disease doesn't discriminate.
Nov 30 2011: You have the making of a great parent Ben. Enjoy!
Dec 1 2011: Thank you that is a big relief! At 22 it is hard to imaging what it would be like, but if there is a small something already there maybe when the time comes all will be fine!

Nov 16 2011: The Norwegian author Torbjørn Egner wrote about the town of Kardemomme, where the policeman (yes, only one) had made the one and only law the society needed. The Kardemomme law translates to:

You shall never bother others,
You shall be both fair and kind,
Apart from that, you do whatever's on your mind!
When you give it some thought, you realize that this law encompasses absolutely every way we humans trespass on each other, so by adhering to the Kardemomme law, we'll all get along much better. That's why my 6 year old knows that this rule is the one and only rule I will not tolerate breaking. Anything else can be discussed, and then related to this rule...

My personal rule, is 'cause no harm' ....... and as you stated above, it requires thinking. For it does come from the Hippocratic oath. Yet, a Doctor does cause harm when he cuts for surgery .... yet that harm is small compared to the harm if they do not operate.

(1) Share your curiosity about the world, and do your best to nurture theirs so it does not die.
(2) Model how to listen before speaking.
(3) Demonstrate constructive ways of managing conflict.
(4) Teach the power and value of personal commitment.
(5) Show them how to manage money.
(6) Have children care for other living things (plants, animals).
(7) Show children where the basic sustenance of life come from (clean water, healthy food).
(8) Teach forgiveness.
(9) Model humility.
(10) Show your love to them every day in tangible ways.

Nov 27 2011: It is a pretty simple answer, yes? Everything you just commented on, should be a given. Why is it not that way?
- +3
Why are humans so terribly cruel to, their own children, their babies? I mean, this is not rocket science? With Respect!
Nov 29 2011: Hi again Tishe:>)
Yes...I think/feel it is a pretty simple answer, and some simple concepts to use in building a good foundation for our "self" at any age. So, I believe these qualities to be very important for all of us, as we navigate the life journey.
I believe people are cruel, because those are the behaviors that some people learned as children, and they are sometimes passing the behaviors and the wounding on to their children. There are a lot of wounded people in our world, as I think you know, who continue to wound others because that is all they know. If we are not evaluating our "self" regularly, we may not understand the underlying reasons for cruel behaviors. I think/feel that most abusive behaviors are learned...unfortunately.
With respect to you Tishe...always...all ways:>)
Nov 30 2011: YES! Thank you, being cruel and being abusive, is a learned behaviour from other humans. Mostly from parents and caretakers. Colleen, the answer to this topic is, so very easy. (BUT) It is not a reality. With respect to you always, also! ( thank you ) :)Dec 2 2011: Tishe,
Maybe if enough of us keep spreading the word, it CAN be a reality?
Dec 3 2011: Yes I agree. I love how your, glass is always, half full! See, I am not quite there, I'm trying, no worries! :)Dec 3 2011: No worries Tishe,
Your heart is VERY full, and that is what counts:>)

Dear Tishe,
What I would like to add is that you, Tishe, bring in a an incredibly important point to this conversation. Everyone else, including myself, have thrown our 5 cents in to this pot - all good and great things to teach/share with a six year old.
The more I think of what you said and the more I grasp the size of its prevalence world-wide, the more I realize that our collective effort needs to be placed elsewhere. The angelic child sitting on Carl's lap, already has a good father who is so thoughtful that he is collecting ideas from the world to incorporate into raising that one child. And I wish every parent would watch him and emulate him in the world. But we know that is not likely.....so
Dec 7 2011: Thank you Juliette,
I am simply passing on information I learned as a child. As you say Juliette, this is a HUGE worldwide concern. If our children are wounded because of how they were treated as children, how can we ever anticipate peace, kindness and respect in our world?
My mother was a person who taught and lived kindness, respect, compassion and unconditional love. My father was a racist, bigot, angry, abusive, violent man. He taught me how NOT to be in this world, so I learned from both of them. We all have the opportunity to observe behaviors, learn from them, and repeat the same behavior, or change the behavior. Our children are our future, and if they are not treated with kindness and respect, we will continue many of the same behaviors. We need to be aware of this on a global level. I believe it is possible to change, and it has to start with each of us as individuals:>)
. .
Dec 4 2011: Tishe - Thank you !!
- +2
I am so grateful that you are speaking up from a perspective that you have direct cardinal experience and knowledge in. I hope that you will continue to speak up at every opportunity, and this way you give voice to so many children (and adults) who repress their own voices hoping to "fit" in society, who need to work harder to claim their own self worth, who have to work even harder to realize their own good potential and whose pain I carry in my heart.
Every child is a gift to this world and quite often entrusted to underserving company.
Dec 5 2011: Perfectly said!!Dec 2 2011: And the best way to teach them is to BE them.

We watched until its wings dried and it flew away. In that time I answered so many questions and learned so much about my grandson it was incredible. Now we go about looking for more wonders of nature together.
Nov 17 2011: Beautiful :)Nov 16 2011: I would tell a 6 year old (and I have) that it is ok to fail. From the time we are born we're told that we should be right, as often as possible and with the smallest degree of error. And we're told that if we're wrong, this is bad for us and we should recover from this failure as soon as possible.
Failure is something to be embraced. When we lose, we learn and I don't think enough young kids know that.
Nov 16 2011: My little one is not yet 6, but we teach her that 'failure' is part of a larger effort. So we don't dwell on any one unsuccessful attempt as a failure, but take it as part of a process and ask what we can improve. In time I hope she'll realize that if something is easy enough to get right the first time, it may not be as satisfying as something else that required a few stumbles along the way.
Teresa Brett
Nov 16 2011: As a parent of two boys, I believe the most important lesson they learn from me is the example of how I treat them. If I treat them with respect and kindness they learn what it means to be treated with respect and kindness. If I trust them, they learn to trust others. I respect their rights as human beings, they learn to respect others' rights as human beings. If I use my power over them to control and dominate them, they learn that the more powerful have the right to use their power over the less powerful to get them to do what they want. I believe I can't teach them compassion, kindness, trust and respect unless I model that in my relationships with them, including the fact that I am still learning and growing as a parent. http://www.ParentingforSocialChange.com

Nov 10 2011: I think that the most important thing you can teach small children is to be a friend to themselves. By that I mean, enlist their aid in protecting their own heath and bodies and minds. I told my kids stories in which they were the 'king' of their country (their body). They began to understand the reasons for brushing their teeth (first line of defence against the invaders) or not put their fingers in their noses (importing enemies- germs). By getting them on their own side I did not have to fight the same battles over and over. When they realized that there was actually a good reason for eating veggies it was no longer a battle. I
- +4
think that encompasses more than 5 things as you requested but I would add that I also taught them that their words made me think the same thoughts in my head and see the same pictures and better words made better pictures so that they would feel less frustrated. Finally, I think it is crucial to teach them to use their words rather than their fists.Dec 8 2011: I would ask her to teach me how to be as innocently happy as she is. Then I'd tell her never to forget what she taught me.

Nov 22 2011: So practical! Wish I'd known all that at 6 years old!Nov 19 2011: My daughter's first fascination was the Moon- all I did was to go and share with her everything I knew about the moon, next I did was searched for pictures & stories about the Moon- then shared them with her. This went on for weeks together- which means till she had 'enough' of Moon. I let myself go with her fascination & would stop sharing about a particular topic when she stopped asking about it. The next thing she got fascinated about was the Horse. All I did was collected all the material I knew about horses and shared it with her. While I did all this, the intention was NOT TO TEACH anything. The intention was to EXPOSE HER TO INFORMATION & EXPERIENCE. So the axiom I follow is FOLLOW WHAT YOUR CHILD WANTS TO KNOW/LEARN. The rest of the things children merely absorb from you- mostly without you even being aware of!

Basic "games theory" stuff...
- Seek and consider options before making decisions
- Retain options for as long as practical
- Good decisions need good information
- All information needs to be tested (Critical thinking)
- Almost everyone will help you; for free
- Trust is important, and honesty engenders trust

I am tippy toe-ing back into your conversation to add my bit. I have read some of the comments others wrote and this thread you created has now become a rich reference for some fabulous ideas of things to teach a 6-yr old. There is a lot here to "teach" a 6-yr old !!
So my itsy bit is in regards to the word "share" and is two fold. (Share being a two-way street)
Part one has to do with being and acting as your best and highest self at all times ( since it is what you do and not what you say that really counts ).
Part two has to do with learning from the child instead of trying to teach her/him. I believe that children come into this world already knowing a lot, and they learn so much faster than any one else, so by the time they are six, I think they have surpassed the grown ups in many ways.
Nov 17 2011: Thanks Juliette ... it's so wonderful to have such a quick document of so much knowledge. I agree with you too :)
. .
Nov 17 2011: Well, what lovelier topic than children !?
- +1
1. Create the healthy environment for them (emotional and physical environment)
and yourself.
2. Let the children lead the way
3. Learn from childrenNov 16 2011: Our family dogs and cat have taught the kids: to care about someone besides themselves, to have patience with others, to take responsibility and the many shapes of Love. This started before they were 6 and continues on. The ultimate lesson the animals teach them is how to cope when a loved one dies.Nov 16 2011: Values :
1. Critical thinking
2. Respect and compassion
3. Honesty
4. Learn from one's errors
5. Confidence and Self-defenceNov 16 2011: Do what I say not what I do. Thats a good start for teaching children how to behave and learn in the world. More often than not we can teach our children more through talking to them and observing them. More than showing them, we adults have a very dismal record for this process. I more often ask my 6yr old grandson how he thinks and feels before I offer my pearls of wisdom in any given situation . you know that saying out of the mouths of babes.. The premiss of this topic should be what can your 6yr old teach you..Nov 16 2011: My daughter will be six soon, so this has been fascinating to consider. From my perspective:
1. Rhythm - Music and dance nurture the spirit, clear the mind and foster immense creativity.
2. Breathing - This may be a lost art. My oldest daughter is very spirited, and practicing breathing with her allows her to take control of her situation, ground herself and find inner peace.
3. Tolerance - Somehow my kids haven't yet learned to hate. When they do, I would like them to understand the consequences of hatred and be able to choose tolerance on their own.
4. Confidence - I want my kids to always be willing to stand up for what is right.
5. Appreciation of a sense of place - They ability to engage and find beauty in their immediate surroundings. If my kids grasp this, environmental stewardship and respect for all creatures will fall into place.
Lies Rock
Nov 16 2011: Indeed: Music, learn them to play music and dancing! And Yoga :-)Nov 16 2011: Not so much a top 5, but satisfy their curiosity. Answer questions with detail, try to teach them about things, show them (boy the Internet is great for this one!) get them used to asking questions so that you can tell them about the world around them. Amazing how much they retain when you treat them like they can and will understand things.Nov 16 2011: I want to teach/share 6 things with a five year old, if that's ok (because I love this quote by Ernest Hemingway).
- +1
"Before you act, listen.
Before you react, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try."Nov 16 2011: 1. Many hugs, kisses, and I LOVE YOUs (everyday)
2. Listening to everything they have to say.
3. Activism. Whether its about being green to democracy, there's always something we can do to help the world be a better place.
4.Reading. It opens their minds to ask questions and spark ideas.
5. Service. Children see how we treat others and keep that inside of them. So whether its feeding the homeless, picking up trash at a park, reading to the elderly it helps them to learn compassion.
Anna Mongan
Nov 16 2011: 1. To understand and learn from failure as well as success. Failure is not the end of the world!
- +3
2. Humility - I have a seven year old who is struggling with this one! We'll get there!
3. Appreciation of other people's strengths as well as your own.
4. Confidence/belief in one's skills (whilst maintaining humility - it's not easy!).
5. Understanding and appreciation of different belief systems so they can choose the path that is right for them.
That all sounds a bit heavy - I'm assuming that play, creativity, fun and happiness go without saying in childhood!Nov 16 2011: I am a homeschool Mom and have taught three 6 year olds. In my opinion these are the most important things to teach.
1-All people are valuable. This is taught through exposure to different cultures, ages (nursing homes, smaller children), economic backgrounds (seeing homeless, touring or working in food bank). Children are very receptive and compassionate when raised to see beyond their home and people like them.
2-Never be afraid to question. Instead of rote answers six year olds learn better by activity and exploration. Ask the hard quesitons. You may be surprised what your child will come up with. My son invisions usining gravity to make electricity. Keep their minds open and don't say that's impossible. Maybe he will invent a new power system someday.
3-Communicate, communicate, communicate. So many of the worlds problems are failure to communication.
4-Listen, Listen, Listen. This goes with communication. Teach children that their thoughts are valuable but to truly know how someone is feeling that you must listen with your feelers. Try to feel what the other person is says and see where they are coming from.
5-Faith. Whatever your faith is. Teach your child there is more to life than themselves and they have something to believe in.Nov 16 2011: 1- Social skills (make friends, handle conflicts, respect yourself and others)
2- Tolerance to frustration (never give up, things get better with practice)
3- Self-soothing coping skills (mindfulness, meditation)
4- Critical thinking (question things, NO to blind faith)
5- Healthy habits (healthy eating, no smoking, practice sports)
And what I love the most to do with my own 6-year old, travel, travel and travel
Leisa Flynn
Nov 16 2011: The best thing I ever did with my kids was to involve them in helping the poor. We delivered Christmas gifts to poor families and served food to the homeless.
- +3
Never tolerate meanness. Always encourage compassion and kindness.
issac dhan
Nov 16 2011: Don't try to teach.
- +3
Just behave the way you want him to be.
Share good memories like a " FRIEND ".
And what to teach(indirectly)/share ?
That many knowledgeable people already wrote.

Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;

Kamui Kobayashi could make a shock return to the Formula One grid next year after being linked with Caterham...
Kamui Kobayashi could make a shock return to the Formula One grid next year after being linked with Caterham.
The 27-year-old has spent the 2013 season in the FIA World Endurance Championship as Sauber opted for a Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez partnership.
However, he could be back in F1 in 2014 with Caterham rumoured to be getting rid of both Giedo van der Garde and Charles Pic.
It is felt that Kobayashi will bring some vital experience - as well as plenty of cash through sponsorships - and that will allow them to also hand rookie Marcus Ericsson a seat.
According to Finland's Turun Sanomat, the Japanese driver has already been spotted at the squad's Leafield-based factory.
Van der Garde, though, remains in talks with Caterham but Heikki Kovalainen - who was strongly linked with a move back to the team after also losing his 2012 seat - is out of the picture as he is unable to attract big sponsors.

One Fall
Set in the rustic Midwestern town of One Fall, the film tells the story of a man who miraculously survived a terrible fall from a spectacular 200 foot- high precipice that is the area's major attraction. After recovering, he abruptly abandoned friends and family and disappeared without explanation. The secret he couldn't share with them was that, while recovering, he had suddenly developed the power to heal others. If people pay him, he will cure them. Though he appears to be doing the right thing, he is doing it for all the wrong reasons, and risks driving away anyone who ever loved or trusted him. As his moral crisis peaks, he must figure out why he survived his fall, and what he is really meant to do with his life.

We just had central air installed and the contractor removed the radiators. However, the pipe and valves are left over sticking out of the floor upstairs. I tried using a plumber's wrench to at least get the valve off but it would not budge. How can I remove them? Keep in mind that the house was built in the 1930's and removing the whole pipe would involve an asbestos abatement. I rather keep and encapsulate the holes after removing the ends of the pipe with plaster.

I used a reciprocating saw with a metal blade to cut though my cast iron pipe. It's $60 if you don't already have one, but they come in handy. You could also use a angle grinder with a metal blade, but that's louder, sparkier and smells more.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Alex Avila slapped a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning while Max Scherzer had a career-high 15 strikeouts Sunday as the Tigers defeated the Pirates, 4-3, in the finale of a three-game set at Comerica Park.
Scherzer (3-3) surrendered just four hits, two of which were solo homers, and walked only one batter over seven innings. Joaquin Benoit worked the ninth and earned his first save of the season.
"Whenever you can do something to really help the team to win, it's a gratifying feeling for anybody in this clubhouse," remarked Scherzer. "For me to go out there and have a game like today that helped get the series win, it puts a smile on my face."
Jhonny Peralta belted a solo homer and scored twice while Delmon Young added an RBI and a run scored as the Tigers took two games in the series.
Kevin Correia (1-5) allowed three runs on four hits in six-plus innings to take the loss. Rod Barajas and Neil Walker both crushed solo shots for the Pirates, who have lost four of their last six games.
"He was tough today," said Barajas about Scherzer. "Sometimes guys are going to go out there with their best stuff. A guy like Scherzer, if he has his best stuff on any given day, he's going to dominate."
Trailing 2-1 in the seventh, Detroit tied the game when Prince Fielder doubled and quickly scored on a single from Young to chase Correia from the contest.
Tony Watson entered to face Brennan Boesch, who bunted to move Young into scoring position, before Peralta coaxed a walk.
A passed ball moved both runners up before Avila snuck a single past a diving Clint Barmes at shortstop. The ball trickled into center field, allowing Young and Peralta to score to give Detroit a 4-2 lead.
Pittsburgh pulled within one in the ninth as Josh Harrison doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and crossed home on a sac fly from Barajas, but Benoit caught Nate McClouth staring at strike three to end the comeback bid.
Earlier in the fifth, Scherzer struck out Harrison for his fifth consecutive strikeout, but Barajas quickly halted his streak as he crushed the first pitch he saw into the seats in left to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead.
Detroit responded in the bottom half with a solo blast from Peralta, but the Pirates quickly regained a one-run edge in the sixth as Walker launched his second homer of the year into the right-field seats.
Mickey Lolich holds the Tigers' franchise mark for most strikeouts in a game with 16, which he did twice in 1969...The Tigers have fanned eight or more batters in each of their last 11 games, the longest such streak by the club since at least 1918.

Artists across the globe have utilized watermelons as an unexpected canvas for their imaginative creations. For centuries, fruit carving has been a respected art in Thailand and was used solely for decorating royal tables. Now, this uncommon skill has been adopted by others who see watermelons as more than tasty treats. From geometric sculptures to intricate floral arrangements and impressive animals, these creatives have carved this summer fruit into edible, museum-worthy pieces. We've compiled some of our favorites, which are expertly crafted and too beautiful to munch on.

packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon

4 teaspoons
2 tablespoons
boiling water
1 cup
confectioners' sugar
These are so good! After reading the reviews, the consensus seems to be 1)Use a smaller pan (8x8") and 2)skip the frosting. I agree! I made them in a 11x8" pan and think they would be even better (thicker) in a 8x8" pan. I did not use the frosting, instead I melted some chocolate chips and drizzled on top. This was only for decoration, as more chocolate really was not needed. Next time, I think I will skip even that. My description of these bars is like pecan pie, only with chocolate chips instead of pecans and a cookie crust! So gooey and good! P.S. The recipe does not say to grease the pan, but I would. The brown sugar mixture tended to stick to the pan.
I added baking time to get these to set. After cooling and cutting, the bars began to 'weep' in places which turned people off. Flavor was good, although very sweet, but I don't think I'll make these again.

My husband loved these so much that he ate them for breakfast ! Instead of using a 9x13pan, I used a 8x8, without changing the recipe ! It still turned out great ! I omitted the chocolate glaze, at it seemed already too sweet ! It browned very nicely on the top with the suggested cooking time, but the inside remained very gooey. However, my husband loved it gooey like that ! It had a nice chewy texture with the crust almost just like a good chocolate chip cookie. However, I used good quality dark chocolate bars (which I hammered into chips), and used much less than the recipe called for.
Thank you !
Used light margarine, and had good results. Skipped the frosting directions, and just sprinkled choc. chips on top as they came out of oven. Simplified the recipe... I'll make again.
These are amazing!!! Simple preperation & a hit with the crowd. My son needed to take bars for a sports potluck and they were gone by the time the pan hit the table...Coaches have already said they have to be returned for the next potluck!! I didn't change anything from the original recipe & they turned out P*E*R*F*E*C*T!! Thank You
Gooey goodness! I substituted a peanut butter glaze for the chocolate one and it was great.
These bars were super easy and very yummy! Not at all too sweet for my family. We thought they were a really great treat for the calories (only 170 each if cut into 24). I did add 5 minutes to baking time and that gave the top a nice caramelized effect and browned the bottom a little. Will definately make these again!
This was much faster than making cookies and tasted delicious. Next time I will cooke the bottom layer for 1-2 extra minutes to make it a little firmer.

The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.

A Date with The Abyss
I'm going on a date and we have to be home by six. Unfortunately for me, that is six in the morning! Now, normally this would be perfect, but I'm on the graveyard shift and my date is hefty, seductive and Russian. And...requires lots of attention. I've clocked in for my shift at 8 PM and I've been tasked with brewing our Russian Imperial Stout, The Abyss, in the middle of the night. Certainly this is an honorable endeavor.
Our 50 barrel gravity fed brew house is only fired up every other week and usually just for Obsidian Stout. It's a favorite place to brew among our staff because we are not at the mercy of intricate software built of indecipherable logic. If you want to move beer, actually called "wort" at the brewing stage, from one vessel to another, you psychically grab a valve and open it. Of course, this also means it's easier to draw immediate and immense amounts of enduring ridicule from fellow brewers when you do this incorrectly...but that's a topic for another day.

Latest Figures On Deaths, Power Outages Related To Sandy
Originally published on Thu November 1, 2012 5:57 pm
NPR's librarians are helping us keep track of two sobering statistics about Superstorm Sandy:
As of 6 p.m. ET:
-- According to NPR's count, the death toll remains at 91. The AP count has now moved up to 90.
New York City alone is reporting 37 deaths. New Jersey reported 12 and Maryland 11.
-- Some good news: The number of homes and businesses without power continues to drop. As of 6 p.m., according to an NPR estimate, that number was at 4.2 million, down about 100,000 in the past two hours.
As of 4 p.m. ET:
-- According to NPR's count, 91 deaths have been reported in the U.S. The AP count puts that number at "at least 75."
-- The number of homes and companies without power has dropped a bit and is now at 4.3 million. That's according to an NPR count of a Department of Energy list of power companies.
As of noon ET:
-- At least 75 deaths have been reported in the U.S., The Associated Press reports. But additional reports from other news outlets indicate there may have been at least a dozen additional deaths. Two deaths have been reported in Canada.
Those follow the estimated 69 Sandy-related deaths in the Caribbean. (That's a change from the AP's earlier report of at least 71 deaths.)
-- There are still 4.5 million homes and businesses without power, according to data from the federal Department of Energy. The Associated Press is reporting power is out at "more than 4.6 million homes and businesses."
As of 10 a.m. ET:
-- At least 73 deaths have been reported in the U.S. and two in Canada. Those follow the estimated 71 Sandy-related deaths in the Caribbean.
-- There are still 4.6 million homes and businesses without power.

Versatile Shrug: A wardrobe essential, this fine gauge shrug-style sweater layers beautifully over everything from dresses to a cami and jeans!
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 5.00 out of 3 votes cast
Lovely shrug
I needed a light top to wear with a sundress that is black and white. This black shrug is a perfect compliment to the dress. I also purchased the green to wear with another dress. I love both of them.
Litchfield Park, AZ
A Perfect Fit
I had been looking for a black shrug to wear with my maxi dress, so after a long time, I finally found one I liked. The shrug is the right length and it couldn't have fit better. I haven't worn it yet, but I will very soon. My only worry is that the person who first reviewed it said she bought it for her daughter but it started to come apart. I hope I have better luck with it.
Hollywood, FL
So sad...this shrug was not put together well and literally came apart at the seams while wearing the first time! Started along the back of the neck. Had gotten it for my high school daughter to complete her professional look for a business competition. Thankfully, she has long hair so it was hidden during presentation.

Kathleen Falk to run for Governor, other Democrats considering running
MADISON - A Democrat from Madison will be officially declaring her candidacy for Governor against Scott Walker in a recall election.
Kathleen Falk has announced that she will run for governor in an effort to unseat Walker, the Republican incumbent facing the potential recall.
It comes one day after recall organizers reportedly submitted more than 1 million signatures on petitions to force a recall electoin involving Walker.
The announcement came on a video on her web site.
"One million Wisconsinites signed recall petitions in an unprecedented and inspiring show of solidarity and determination: things are not working here and we must, we can, and we will do better," Falk said in an e-mail to supporters.
"The people of Wisconsin have done a brave thing: demanded change. And together we will continue to make history."
Falk has previously served as Dane County Executive among the offices she's held in her political career.
She lost the race for Attorney General to Republican J.B. Van Hollen in 2006, and lost to Jim Doyle in the Democratic primary for governor in 2002.
"Kathleen Falk's announcement today comes as no surprise, as we have long anticipated she would be the nominee hand-picked by big-government, public employee union bosses," said Friends of Scott Walker communications director Ciara Matthews in a statement.
"Falk's record as Dane County executive falls in lockstep with a Madison liberal ideology that is far outside the mainstream of the majority of Wisconsinites."
While it could be months before a recall election is held, Former Dane County Exec Kathleen Falk and state Senator Tim Cullen are already jumping in the race.
"Kathleen and the others who are thinking about running are all good people," said Cullen.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is one of those who is considering a run. He is out of town, but his campaign advisor sent us this statement, "Of course Tom is weighing the recall election. He has deep, state-wide support and those supporters have asked Tom to take a serious look at running."
Barrett isn't alone: former Congressman David Obey is said to be considering a run.
Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca confirms he's still deciding, as does state Senator Jon Erpenbach.
Republicans say they are confident about a Walker re-election with the list of potential candidates.
Former Congressman David Obey is said to be considering a run. Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca confirms he's still deciding, as does state Senator Jon Erpenbach.
Republicans say they are confident about a Walker re-election with the list of potential candidates.
But to Stephan Thompson, the executive director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, "It's a laundry list of washed-up liberals who are yesterday's news."
And for Lieutenant Governor, Firefighter's Union President Mahlon Mitchell told TODAY'S TMJ4 he wants to run, as does state Representative Cory Mason.
The state Democratic Party says they will not endorse a candidate. They add they are confident that a primary will produce the strongest possible candidate to take on Scott Walker.

Question: What are some coping skills that I can use to deal with my stress?
Answer: So let's say you do have that stressful sort of job. What can you do about it? How can you apply coping skills to manage that stress better? The first thing you have to do is to be aware when you're stressed early in the process. To be aware of the negative thoughts you're having. "I can't believe he just said that in this sales meeting," for example. And the kinds of feelings that you're having -- anger, frustration, and so forth.
Once you're aware of the thoughts and feelings in a stressful situation, and have in mind the exact facts of the situation, not "he's putting me down," but "he just said I was stupid for saying we should try telemarketing for this new product." Then you need to evaluate your reaction, you need to ask some questions about those thoughts and feelings in the light of those objective facts, so you can decide whether you need to change this situation, or change your reaction, because that's the only two choices you do have in any stressful situation.
The way to decide is to ask four questions: Is this important to me? Are the thoughts and feelings I'm having appropriate? Would anybody get mad if somebody told them they were stupid for suggesting telemarketing? Is the situation modifiable? Can I get him to not tell me I'm stupid for suggesting telemarketing? And lastly, would it be worth it when I consider the needs of the other people and myself, to take that action?
Any 'no' to one of these questions means this is a time when you want to change your reaction. You can do it by self-talk: "Hey! It's not that important" or "Hey! It's not appropriate for me to get angry with him because he's got a good reason for saying it's stupid perhaps." Or maybe, "It's not worth it to take action because it would disrupt the whole thing, or maybe get me in trouble." Any 'no,' you're going to change your reaction. If you can't stop thinking about it, practice some form of meditation. Deep breathing, saying "slow down" every time you breathe out, something of that sort.
But four 'yes'es, four 'yes'es to these questions means you do need to do something. It's important, it's appropriate to be upset, the situation is modifiable, or at least it ought to be if you're not sure, and it would be worth it to get him to quit telling you you're stupid in these sales meetings. That doesn't mean that you're 007 with a license to kill. It means you need to take effective action, and when it's another person's behavior, that's assertion: "Hey Bill, you just said I was stupid for suggesting telemarketing, I need to let you know that that's kind of upsetting. I don't think it's very helpful. Could you tell me why you think it's a problem, rather than accusing me of being stupid? That would be helpful." Or if it were, or if it's a situation, problem solve. These are all damage control strategies.
Now how are you going to remember those four questions when you're really under a lot of stress? Important, appropriate, modifiable, worth it. "I-A-M-WORTH IT." I am worth it. Tell yourself "I am worth it," and that will bring up these four questions for you.

En español | It was, Dennis Quaid remembers, "the worst day of our lives." On the morning of November 19, 2007, the actor and his wife, Kimberly, rushed to Los Angeles's Cedars-Sinai hospital—one of the nation's best health care facilities—where their 12-day-old twins had been admitted two days before for treatment of routine staph infections. Their pediatrician and the head nurse met them at the door of their babies' room, where a cluster of doctors hovered over Thomas Boone ( known as T. Boone) and his sister, Zoe Grace (or Z.G.). "We could see them working on the kids," Quaid says. "It was chilling."
The pediatrician quietly informed the nervous parents that the twins had inadvertently been massively overdosed with a blood thinner called heparin, putting them at risk of bleeding to death. "Initially, I felt this really couldn't be happening," the actor remembers. "Then I felt fear—and helplessness."
Dennis and Kimberly went to the twins' bedsides and watched, immobilized. "They were bleeding out of every place where they'd been poked and prodded," says Quaid. In an attempt to stanch the flow, a doctor placed a clamp on T. Boone's umbilical cord. A stream of blood shot across the room, splattering the wall. "We were in shock," says Quaid.
Whether by act of God or human error, Dennis Quaid was now a different man, with a very different mission.
To reverse the effects of the heparin overdose—the infants had twice received 1,000 times the correct dose—doctors gave T. Boone and Z.G. a drug called protamine. Dennis and Kimberly refused to leave their bedsides for the next 32 hours, gently touching and trying to soothe their babies. "They were really in a lot of discomfort, crying," Quaid says. "It had to be painful." Finally, late on the second day, the infants' blood coagulation levels inched into the normal range. A neurologist and other specialists assessed brain and motor functions, which, miraculously, appeared normal.
Though Quaid wanted the crisis kept quiet, news leaked fast. "That may have been a blessing in disguise," he says, "because a lot of people told us later they were praying for our babies. In the end, I believe that the power of prayer from so many is what saved them. It's obvious to me that a higher power in the universe is controlling what's going on."
Whether by act of God or human error, Dennis Quaid was now a very different man, with a very different mission.
We're sitting on a patio at Quaid's sprawling estate in Los Angeles's Pacific Palisades. For T. Boone and Z.G., this is home, though getting here wasn't easy. Quaid, 56, and Kimberly Buffington—an Austin, Texas, real estate agent he met in 2003 and married in 2004—tried to get pregnant for three years. Buffington, now 38, suffered repeated miscarriages. "That's really hard," Quaid says. "We had just about given up." The actor pauses, then offers up his trademark possum-eating-honey grin: "We gave it one more shot and found out it was twins—a boy and a girl!"
