Exercise is generally good for young people. Sadly, in most countries of the world, young people are doing less and less. That is one reason why levels of obesity are rising, storing up significant health problems for the future. Young people who exercise are more likely to do well at school and have more self-confidence and a better body image. Girls who run are less likely to suffer from negative images of their bodies; and are less likely to become pregnant as teenagers.

Do you need to start young?

Have you ever tried telling your child they had to give away one of their favorite toys? If your child is like most, chances are, it didn’t go over very well. Maybe there was even a lot of crying, screaming and tantrum throwing involved.

Giving is not something that comes easily to a child. Hey, it doesn’t even come easily for adults! We tend to want to hang onto our stuff. After all, we’ve worked hard for that stuff. It’s ours! Why work so hard if we’re just going to turn around and give it away?  Read more... (627 words, estimated 2:30 mins reading time)

Our young people, boys and girls, go through changes at a certain age (the age differs by the child but averages between 12 and 14 I think, but it can be younger or older than this). These times are very trying and confusing for many of them. They have already gone through fitting in at school, peer pressure, discrimination or racism based on race, religion, the brand of clothes they wear, the kind of gum they chew, YOU NAME IT, and then comes “the change. ” What is “the change”? “The change is the point when their bodies get curvier, hair grows in certain places that it wasn’t before, rapid growth can occur, HORMONES RAGE, and NOW they’re being singled out for not only their clothing but their sex appeal too (excuse my strong language but it MUST be said).   AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!This is a very important time for our young people and we must be there to support them. Don’t get me wrong, it may not be easy.   See, when “the change” comes, your children may not even like you very much anymore. They may think your “help” is cramping theirstyle. They may think you are too old fashioned. They will probably value their friends’ opinions over yours BUT. . . that doesn’t mean stop trying. We have to battle for the lives of our children. When they start to change, Shaitan starts to whisper even more, take off your hijab, show your body, flirt with that boy, etc. Don’t assume that they know how to handle these changes because you may be SERIOUSLY wrong. Some don’t even understand why their feelings change for the people who are the closest to them let alone how to handle the increased pressure to be assertive to the opposite sex. In come the parents to help combat these emotions. Talk to your children and keep communication open so they don’t get the wrong information. Give them ayat and ahadith about lowering the gaze, fasting to curb these feelings, etc. Start talking to them earlyabout the feelings they may experience when “the change” occurs. Let them know and make them understand how important their bodies are and how to use them the way they should be used. Give them a good role model to follow by presenting yourself the way they should present themselves. The best learning tool for them is YOU!Save yourselves and your families from the hellfire , right?If you don’t know how to talk to your children then get someone who can (preferably a good role model also and not just the one Muslimah or Muslim who talks a lot). Make the someone a person who is worth admiring and someone they would WANT to take advice from. We cannot let our children run their own lives and hope for the best because, even with all of the curves, added height, and their spankin’ new changes, they are still children inside. They need you even if they act like they don’t. So to conclude (I said I would make this shorter than the last one but I guess I just couldn’t stop writing), be there for your children and address the issue of hormonal changes that they will or are going through. It COULD be the difference between them making a choice for Allah or being pulled in by the whispers of Shaitan. I love you all for the sake of Allah and I am cheering for you young people! Make good choices and value yourselves. May Allah reward you for enduring your own personal jihad.   If you are not Muslim, don’t worry.   This article is universal.   ALL of our children need support and love, and we should all give it to them. Anything I have said that is good is from Allah, and anything bad is from me. Gail Fripp (aka) Tahira Ali  Read more... (804 words, estimated 3:13 mins reading time)

Sports not only keep us healthy and fit but they help us develop confidence, camaraderie and healthy competition. Getting your kids involved in sports at a young age can help them cope with life better when they get older. There are numerous benefits that your child can get when he/she engages in sports. Summer is fast approaching and instead of letting your kids stay home and watch television the whole day, you can keep them active by getting them involved in sports clinics and the like. Who knows your kid may learn to love the sport and be the next champion or professional athlete who will be admired by all. 
Aside from keeping your kids preoccupied, engaging in sports can help them develop their physical, mental, social and emotional well being. Doing sports helps your kids be physically fit. It helps them as well develop ways to think of strategic plays or moves to win a game. Engaging in sports enables them to meet new people, make friends and to socialize. Competitive sports help them cope with defeat as well as victory. This is a very important learning experience as they learn that you don’t win them all and actual life situations can be like that. Sports can also help many children overcome their shyness and boost their feeling of self-worth and self esteem. 
Sports can help your children develop confidence. Your kids become more outgoing and even friendlier. It helps them develop a sense of responsibility and independence knowing that winning a particular competition or game all lies in how they play or perform. It also helps them develop skills on how to cooperate in a joint team effort when it comes to team sports. 
Sports also help them develop their motor skills and physical coordination. It helps them be more focus as they aim to win. They could apply this later on in life as they learn to reach for their dreams and maximize their full potential in the real world. 
What matters is your kids enjoy the sport they are engaged in and are having fun. They not only learn about discipline, perseverance, teamwork and most importantly sportsmanship, they learn something new and gain new friends and acquaintances. It is important that you help your children choose a sport that they like and match it with the abilities and skills that they possess. Give them support and cheer them on. After all, in life you are their mentor and their coach.  Read more... (443 words, estimated 1:46 mins reading time)

It’s all the rage, you know. Even comes with bragging rights. Cheating that is. As one webber proclaims, “I have cheated on tests, homework, projects, and other assignments all through my scholastic career . . . It’s something I take pride in. ” This site, then, like dozens of others, requests readers to forward their cheating tricks for posting. No wonder surveys find that 75% of students—many shamelessly–confess to cheating and/or copying text at least once. How about your child? And what example have you been setting along the way? Let’s start there.
Have you ever at least once . . .
. Written a paper for your child?
. Revised your child’s paper to the point of rewriting it? Done your child’s homework assignment?
. Completed a homework assignment for your child?
. Completed or done a project for your child?
Now, if you think that’s not a big deal, think again. What message is sent every time we bail out our kids, fixing this and that, even taking over? First lesson taught: occasionally cheating the system is okay. Second lesson picked up: you can’t make it on your own—and that’s anything but an esteem builder. So, why keep stepping in? Certainly, love plays a part. We want our kids to be stress-free, successful–and love us back. And sometimes schoolwork gets crowded out by activities like sports or cheerleading, right? One student declared, “I’ll let you know when I don’t have a game or practice, so you’ll know when you can give me homework. ” Or possibly you feel like the mom who said, “I’m sick and tired homework battles; it’s easier to do it myself and keep the peace. ” But, face it; whether it’s cards, sports, marriage, taxes, tests, projects, or homework, once a trust is broken, it doesn’t repair well. Nothing’s worth that—certainly not good but unearned grades. As for our children, sure they’re tempted to cheat in school. It’s so much simpler than struggling and chancing failure. Still, it’s risky business, and there’s more at stake than just a zero. Does your child really think it’s okay to deceive, that everyone does it, so why not?
Find out as you ask your child, have you ever . . .
. Brought a “cheat sheet” to class for a test?
. Copied from a neighbor’s test?
. Gotten questions from a student who’d already taken the test?
. Text-messaged or cell-phoned a friend during a test for help?
. Copied information from a book cover/flap for a book report?
. Copied material from a reference book or encyclopedia?
. Copied from an Internet source, even in part?
. Copied a fellow student’s homework assignment?
. Had a fellow student do an assignment for you?
Any surprises?
When asked, students’ heads nod up and down; hands go up—some even proudly. I’m told that cheat sheets are hidden under tests, notebooks, even over-sized band-aids and watches, with notations written between fingers, even thighs covered by skirts. And typed in font size 6, notes are stuffed up sleeves and into eyeglass cases, calculator lids, even cleaned our White-Out bottles. Why go to such trouble? Answers include: “I forgot to study;” “If I flunk, I’m off the team;” and, “I don’t want to disappoint my parents. ” Disappointed yet? And we haven’t even gotten to the high-tech possibilities!
In this text-messaging, chat room age, camera phones, PDA’s, and MP3 players all serve cheaters well. Then there are websites touting classroom-tested cheating tricks, such as www. cheathouse. com and www. cheater. com. Others sell essays and reports for a few bucks, such as www. termpapers-on-file. com and www. ezwrite. com. Even parents’ fax machines are in on it. Can you think of a faster way for me to get your homework to copy? But we teachers are on the alert now, and we’re not so trusting anymore. Kids are now often required to do all their writing in class, and we walk the room during tests. We’re double-checking everything, while also teaching lessons on integrity, imposing honor codes, and enlisting parental support. Moreover, we have some high-tech tricks of our own that you should know about, too. Wondering if that’s really your child’s writing? Type a suspicious phrase into Google, and, if copied, you’ll find the source. Or turn to such sites as, www. turnitin. com, www. plagiarism. com, and www. softwaresecure. com. But the best advice ever is to model the behavior you want to see in your child. Be a guide; don’t take over. Success must be earned; self-esteem is built on hard work and achievement.  Read more...

Harvey Howard is the owner of My Gym Children’s Fitness Center in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He is a certified special education teacher, elementary teacher, guidance counselor, and student assistance professional located in New Jersey. When it comes to reinforcing positive behaviors as a parent, what you want to do is identify when the child does a behavior that you desire and immediately praise him. You can draw attention to them in connection with the positive behavior, which will lead the child to make a direct association between his or her behavior and the positive reaction. Time wise, children are not good with delayed responses, which is why this positive praise should be given as soon as the behavior is observed, since they connect best with immediate responses. Especially with younger children, the abstract reason is not there yet. Everything in their eyes is entirely concrete. So for example, if they clap their hands—and let’s say that is a desired behavior—and you jump up and down and clap your hands and mimic their behavior and cheer and smile at them, then they will see that reaction, think that it is a good thing, and do the original behavior again. The more you identify and specifically reinforce the positive behavior in children the more of this specific behavior you will get. Truly, there is not enough time in the day to spend reinforcing all the positive behavior. Conversely, if you in large part ignore their negative behaviors—so long as this negative behavior is not disruptive to the point of being counterproductive to your experience—then children will not repeat the behaviors. For the most part, children are looking for attention from their primary care givers—their parents and the significant others in their lives. So if the significant others turn around and refuse to watch the negative behaviors, then that will essentially extinguish the behavior. Usually this leads to the child searching for something else to do that will get the approval—and therefore the attention—of their parent or significant other. Children love approval and attention, they just have to be taught to find it in the right way. Specific ways to reinforce positive behavior: Show your approval of your child’s behavior with a simple smile. Express excitement—through cheering or clapping—when your child exhibits the positive behavior. Hug, kiss, or throw your child into the air immediately after he has done the behavior. Ultimately, reinforcing positive behavior is about showing the child that he or she is at the center of your university. By showering him with positive attention because of these behaviors—while also ignoring the negative behaviors—you will see more of what you like.
