Manny, Sid, Diego, and Ellie get back together in this third film of the computer-animated Ice Age series. Fans also get to enjoy the vocal talents of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Queen Latifah, who are joined by Shaun of the Dead’s Simon Pegg. In this movie, Manny and Ellie, woolly mammoths, are expecting their first baby, while Sid the sloth tries an unconventional way of starting a family that gets him into trouble with a mommy T-Rex. With all this talk of babies, Diego, the saber-toothed tiger, feels that he’s left out. However, a journey to save Sid may just turn the whole rag-tag bunch into heroes. In addition to all that adventure, it wouldn’t be an Ice Age film if Scrat weren’t on a desperate hunt for an acorn, but he might get distracted by a shapely female squirrel.

SING A LULLABY when tucking your tot in bed. it's a bonding experience each time and you get to do 2 things at the same time: detect early if your child has hearing/ear problems (and resolve early too!) or discover your child's ear for music early on (and encourage such musical inclination, too!).
cherish every minute with your child, ang bilis nila lumaki! kaya boding to the max kami,doing even a lil chores in the house will do. talk sofly kahit galit ka na... kasi when u shout takot na nararamdaman nila and di na nila ma-a-absorb the next thing you say. and lagi ko lang silang kinakausap even charles is just 3, nakakaintindi na din sila.. and i get surprize all the time :P
It may be a cliche but the best parenting tip I learned and continue to treasure is that breastfeeding is still best for babies. (Thank you for the feature about Breastfeeding Myths Debunked). My son's turning 2 this March but I'm proud to say that I do still breastfeed him. Aside from the benefits and hollistic advantages that we both get, breastfeeding is creating a magnificent mother-son bond that no other thing can measure up with.
malunggay leaves is not only good for breastfeeding moms but as well as the kids too. it has more vitamins than other fruits, calcuim, fiber and iron that is good for our health.
Read to them or with them everyday! Sometimes just 20 minutes a day is better than nothing at all. Aside from the "quality time" that you get to spend with them, you help them develop their interest in books or other reading materials and other life skills are also developed.
I used to tell my kids to eat their veggies, but no matter what I do, they wouldn't even touch their food. I learned this year that the best way to teach them to eat their vegetables would be bringing them to help me in my shopping for groceries. Yes, I'd bring them to the supermarket, I would ask them to pick the veggies themselves and then later on ask them to *ssist me in cooking these veggies as well. I was surprised that after doing all these, my children ate all their vegetables without asking them to. My son said, "Mom, I could see you finished your veggies too. I know now how it is made into a delicious meal and learned what it does to my body. Best of all, we were so happy to bond with you. We truly enjoyed it, hope we could do it again." I realized, that it's like hitting two birds with one stone, going to the grocery solved my desire to let my kids eat healthy veggies and at the same time spend quality time with them. Children are like sponges, absorbing everything there is to learn about life. So as parents we must always set a good example to them, so that they have someone to look up to. Guess what, since then, my kids would eat up all their veggies without being told to do so.
When Roche was getting ready to start solid foods, I panicked just a little. I had been exclusively breastfeeding up to that point, and it was working out great! I loved the convenience, nourishment, and price of my milk (FREE - can't beat that!). Of course, I knew that Roche couldn't live on milk forever...that's just not normal! So, I started checking the prices on jars of solid foods. Ok, that's when I really panicked. I knew I wanted to give him organic foods, to minimize his exposure to toxins and pesticides. But, organic baby food was ridiculously expensive! So, I started asking friends about their baby's solid foods.Get involved in making your baby's solid foods - it's cheaper, it's more nutritious, and it's pretty fun!
Nagging and shouting at our child's wrong doings is not at all an effective way to discipline and get your kids to follow you. P*ssive approach, or just keeping quiet is much better.
do not let the kids watch tv at an early age even if its educational. ive learned this from this site and it made me aware to lessen if not cut my son's tv habit.
The best parenting tip i learned this year (2009) is to think like your child and not focus on what is disageeable to you as parents, so that you (parent) can understand what he (child) really wants/needs. When my youngest, who does not speak yet, throw tantrums, i was very much confused and pressured to make him stop crying...After reading some advices of smart parents here on board, everything turns 180 degrees... I keep myself cool, I try to understand what he wants, I would tell him in a calm manner "ok, ok, this is what you want, right?, ok, ok" Since then my little boy has less tantrums because he knows there's someone who can understand him...Thanks smart parenting...thanks to my fellow sp members.. :-)
The Best piece of parenting advice I have been given,would be the fact that,as a mom, you do not know all the answer instinctively,A lot of it is trial and error and mix with common sense and love...
Start and end your day cheerfully. Show your kids HAPPINESS and they'll grow up to be a happy and positive person.
Show to your child that you are interested listening when they are telling stories or asking questions. It will make them feel important and will boost their learning abilities.
I trained my child at the very young age how to throw garbage at the right place. If he forget to put in the right trash can i will call him and ask him to get the garbage and put it in the right place and it works now at age 3 if he see his cousins throwing garbage in the road he will say thats bad and ask his cousins to put it in the trash can.
When we SAY something WE NEED to STICK to it so that our child will learn to listen to us. Based on my own experience kailangan talaga eh kasi if we dont magsisisi tayo sa huli dahil baka maging stubborn ang bata. This may be hard at first because they make all the ways to make us change our mind but we NEED to stick to what we say dahil kung hindi at paulit ulit tayong may sasabihin then we end up not doing it di na tayo magiging credible sa paningin nila they will just ignore us.
The best rewarding advice I can give to parents to shower your children with lots of hugs and kisses as much as you can daily. Kids who grow up in a love-filled home will be loving individuals/parents in the future.
computers may be good for kids to learn tech, preschool topics and others at an early age. but it can also be an early start for them to get addicted to games. very bad especially if they lean towards violent-tinged RPGs, not to mention eye strain :( firm rules should be set, at an agreement with the child concerned, by giving him/her a choice so that child feels his/her opinion matters and there is a responsibility required of him/her.
The best parenting tip I've learned from 2009 would be to learn how to listen to your kids. Sometimes grown-ups like us tend to complicate things simply because we are used to talking too much, most of the time leaving our children unheard...unable to voice out their opinion and say on the matter. It pays to listen to them, that's what communication is all about. Remember that everyone has a story to tell. This early, teach the kids how to respect age but learn to speak for themselves when needed.
having good communication in the family is the best thing I've learned and with it all misunderstanding can be solve.
I learned that a early as 1, the child develops his/her own sense of style and as a parent, you should not repress that because it is the foundation of creativity.
I learned that family should come first no matter how great your job is. If they need you or there are occasions, I should be there.
I learned in 2009 to be more faithful and close to God. It does not matter if we do not have money or we are not rich, it matters that my family is close to God. We pray together.
Oh! Too late.. anyways I will still share my parenting tip though this is already finished. I hope the deadline will be extended! I learned in 2009 that family should always be open up with each other. The closeness and the bond will bring our family joy and love.
never waste an opportunity to tell your family you love them, tell your kids often how terrific they are and a successful marriage for me is finding the right person and being the right person. =)
