Question by liddabet: Do you know a fun recipe for pre-school kids with no sugar and minimal starch?
I need a fun, easy recipe for pre-school kids to prepare. It can't have any sugar (or stuff with sugar in it) and should include only a minimal amount of starch. We've done fruit kabobs a lot - so if you know of something other than that - especially something that might require baking or cooking - that would be great.
I don't have anything against sugar. BUT - when you work in a pre-school environment - you are forever trying to keep the sugar down to a minimum. Everything in moderation. And just for the record - sugar has .10 of 1% of any kind of nutrition in it for you. It's empty calories. If it didn't have that very little tiny bit of nutrition - it would have to be listed with the FDA as a drug. So while I don't think sugar is really harmful to kids - if they are eating it - the kids are not taking in other healthy calories. So please - in trying to please parents and keep sugar to a minimum - I'm asking for non sugar recipes. I have PLENTY of recipes with sugar in them. Thank you.

Answer by eliana s
Do you have anything against sugar or is that restraint an operational one?
There is a chocolate candy which is very popular in Brazil called "Brigadeiro".
You use 1 can of condensed milk, two table spoons of chocolate powder or cocoa, one tea spoon of butter. Mix the ingredients in a pot, take it to the stove and cook it, stirring it all the time, until the mixture is thick and detaches from the bottom of the pan.
Set this dough on a plate ointed with butter and let it cool.
Here comes the fun part: children pick one tea spoon of the dough and roll it into a ball. Here we do the finishing rolling the chocolate ball or a plate with chocolate granulate.
They can spoon eat it also.
I don't see why people are so concerned with children eating suger, unless they have any sort of disease.
Sugar is energy, and children need a lot of it.

Affordable In-Depth Music Lessons For Kids Now Available

The choice to pursue an education in music can be one of the most inspiring, life-changing decisions one can make. The sheer joy of musical learning offers the student the opportunity to cultivate a passion that will reside with them for the rest of their lives. For students in California, this opportunity is more affordable and widely available than ever before.

Founded in 2006, the Avloni Academy of Music was created by uniting two distinguished music schools: Larimonda Academy of Music and Arts and the Polonsky Piano School. The Academy has four locations across the state of California and serves almost 400 students through the expertise of 36 experienced teachers. By infusing the traditional educational style of the Russian School of Music with principles of Suzuki, Yamaha and the American pedagogical method, the Avloni Academy of Music has become one of the most prestigious music schools in California. They offer classes to students ranging from age three to seventy, in a welcoming learning environment that allows each student to learn at their own educational pace in both group classes and individual private classes. Additionally, students can choose to pursue either an amateur or professional career path through the school, for the ultimate flexibility in terms of student choice. Thanks to the pragmatic and in-depth teaching of the school's expert instructors, many past students of the Academy have gone on to participate successfully in local concerts and regional competitions.

The Avloni Academy of Music offers a wide array of classes that fit the specific requirements of today's modern student. Based on the principles of principles of the Orff and Kodaly systems of music education, the Preschool Music Program on offer through the Avloni Academy of Music teaches kids lessons on the basics of music through creative movement and games, improvisation, elementary note recognition, ear training and introductory lessons in piano and other instruments.

Private music lessons are offered for kids aged five and above and are available throughout the student year for that added convenience that conforms to the student's schedule. Their private music lessons afford kids a direct one-on-one lesson with a highly qualified instructor. This course of learning allows the student to develop their own individual learning curve while furthering their in-depth comprehension of musical techniques. Whether the student wishes to learn classical, rock, jazz or pop music, the private lessons available through the Avloni Academy of Music ensure that every student can engage their particular passion. If the student is already involved in private teaching, they may wish to consider the Introduction to Music class, which compliments private lessons for a truly enriched learning experience. Through Introduction to Music lessons, kids ages 5-6 will learn vocal warm ups, rhythm development techniques and the basics of keyboard, music theory and history for a well-rounded learning experience.

Once they feel comfortable with their new abilities, Avloni Academy of Music offers students the opportunity to display their talents through recitals, concerts, workshops and master classes. Friends and family can delight in the student's musical achievements thanks to the free admission policy instituted at the school for all student recitals. In addition, instructors may recommend students for regional competitions, where performances can act as a catalyst for their burgeoning reputation in the industry.

For the student who wishes to utilize the expertise on offer through the Avloni Academy of Music to gain certification in their particular discipline, the school offers preparation and testing for The Certificate of Merit Test for a variety of grade levels. Students can choose either voice or instrument exams, the results of which are accepted by numerous California High Schools for high school, which means they offer the perfect addition to students'educational pursuits.

With their plethora of learning options, Avloni Academy of Music should be the number one choice for parents who wish for their kids to experience the most comprehensive music lessons available in California.

Question by yummymummy: How can I prevent my toddler from picking up colds from other kids at playschool?
My 14 month old has started playschool two days a week. She seems to pick up every cold and sniffle that the other children have. I am searching for a way to build up her resistance and immunities to these types of common illnesses.

Best answer:

Answer by Livin On A Prayer
Take her out of playschool. She doesn't need to be there unless you don't have any other option for someone to watch her. I would never put my child in a place like that--especially at 14 months old. She's going to get sick...there's no stopping it. She's in a place filled with germy little kids--she's gonna get sick sooner or later. Take her out..that's what you *should* do.

Give Your Kids An Intellectual Head Start With Educational Toys

Toys for children are not limited to boring, cheap plastic dolls, and cars. You can find some wonderful educational toys for a child that will pique their curiosity and challenge their imagination. In order for a toy to be interesting, it must combine learning opportunities with an appearance and “fun factors” that make it an irresistible magnet for a child.

Playtime for children should be a time where they are able to express themselves and expand their knowledge and abilities. Many top products that are designed with an educational point of view are geared to help children develop and refine large and small motor skills and their own innate talents. Music is one of the chief educational entertainment products on the market that can be tailored to suit a person of any age.

There are CDs that mothers can play for their babies before they are even born, while others are created for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children. Parents will find lots of fun instruments to encourage a love of rhythm and music such as bells, gourd rattles, tambourines, triangles, xylophones, guitars, and drums. Playing and exploring music and musical instruments will help children gain an understanding of rhythms and melodies and listening to music has been linked to better school performance, and higher IQs.

Think about some of the things that you, yourself, once found immensely satisfying during your own childhood. Perhaps it was a variety of building blocks that you could use to construct roads, towers, and even entire communities. The excitement that this kind of creative activity produced probably still lingers in your memory today.

One of the reasons that blocks are a childhood favorite is because there are no real rules that must be followed. This is also a primary reason that these items are always included in any Top 10 list for educational toy products. Smaller children can play with foam blocks for extra safe fun.

Parents of children 3 and older might want to look for a set of blocks made from a sturdier material, such as wood. These will last much longer and they are able to absorb the rough and tumble handling that most small children dish out. Your child will have hours of fun constructing and then demolishing tall, elaborate structures (of their own design) from these blocks . There are even construction sets that contain a variety of building materials for kids, including planks, blocks, slides, and connectors.

Rhyming and memory games are also top choices in the educational toy marketplace. These can be purchased as sets of cards, CD programs, and board games. Memorization skills are easily increased when you and your children use these fun toys to add new dimensions to any afternoon or weekend family playtime.

There are even washable plastic mats imprinted with key educational facts and ideas that can be used as the basis for some stimulating family table conversation. These colorful mats contain educational resources that will inspire and excite your children. Make meals fun and interesting with these child friendly products. This is a great way to teach younger children about the times tables, countries and capital cities and fun facts about science.

All children have an instinctive desire to learn more about the world around them and parents can encourage this natural curiosity by selecting child friendly microscopes, large world globes, topographical floor maps, or even magic sets. Each of these educational toys is designed to teach children something new about science, and will open their minds to the way they view the world.
