Getting your children to talk to you


Children are a gift from god.beautiful if a little baby girl and handsome if a diddy boy. But their innocence and way of life can be confused for being cranky, withdrawn, stubborn, and irritating the list goes on.
In today’s society our little ones are faced with so many challenges, trials and much growing up to do that…communicating can be a huge problem.
You as a parent ought to strive to be open, so  that your children can open up and be at ease with you about the big things in their lives and even the small.
To do this emphasize on:-them having their own space. Don’t ever force them to tell you anything. It shall come out naturally.
Spend time with your children. No one else can replace the feeling and the joy for your little one, when they know you have ample time for them in your hands and you are willing to be there.
Play with your children, exercise with them or do fun activities together. At this point they will always bear in mind that you are like a best friend to them…and will share their life with you
Never judge your little one…when they do something wrong…point them in the right direction and not at their mistake.
Address your children by name. For every time you call them by their name they feel important and accord you the attention you seek to find.
Be kind, offer solutions and also share your life experiences as a friend and you will be on the pathway to being best friends forever and for life with your children… and they will know that there is no problem under the sun that cannot be solved by dialogue…a good talk!

J C Leroux Wine Tasting : A Delight!

Good events are a rare case in Nairobi, not to forget a good drink. Willam Soklin, a  New York wine merchant once said, " What is  the definition of good wine? It should start  and  end with a smile." True to that saying, the wine was plenty and delightful at the J C Leroux wine tasting held at Alliance Francaise yesterday, 10th May,2012. The  wine tasting  courtesy  of J C Leroux  Sparkling Wine  from Distell Winemasters opened the 21st  European Film Festival at Alliance Francaise with participating countries including: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Serbia & Switzerland.   Below are  the sights and sounds of  the crowd and the wine, J C Leroux in sweet and dry variants that  paired up with the all sorts of cheeses and made the cocktail worth the while.

It Has Been A Long While...

I do like my blog! However, I must confess, I abandoned it for a long while. So, maybe I can turn a new leaf and go back to writing? Hmm... Well, I will give it a shot. There is a whole lot to talk about, so let us get to it, shall we? " Don't Just Sit There. Do Something!" You see, I like to see businesses and people thrive. Their pain becomes my pain; their hurdles mine too. If it weren't so, why would I wake up aspiring for that morning sunshine, driven by their ambitions, teamed up with a necessity for the great pursuit. For whom; for what? Is it to be up held by the gentle relief, an ounce of 'better.' In wrapping these meandering good yet defined thoughts, I have come to the dear conclusions to roll-up sleeves of my own and all those who will and get involved. "Don't just sit there. Do something." I am reminded of that common wall paper that sits pretty in the washroom that were. If you will, manners and duty awaits.

Amazing
