Home Remedies for Nose Bleeding

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 17:07:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , ,

Each one of us has had a nose bleed at some point of time or another. Infact, this is a very common ailment in people, though it's mostly children who are seen to suffer from it more frequently. The nose lining contains various tiny blood vessels that tend to bleed quite easily. And there are a number of reasons responsible for encouraging a nose bleed in people.

Nose bleeds are often the result of common events, usually trauma, but nose bleeds can be a warning of other problems. Nose bleeds are caused by a small blood vessel rupturing. There are two main types of nose bleed, upper and lower septum nose bleeds.

In children, many doctors feel that nasal drying is a common cause of nose bleeds. Nasal drying is common in the winter during cold dry weather and in the summer with air-conditioning. If due to nasal drying, nose bleeds can sometimes be prevented by placing KY Jelly about 0.5 inches into the nose using a Q-tip. This should be done two to four times a day. Placing a humidifier in the home will also help. However, this will also promote the growth of molds and other allergens. Do not use Vaseline. Vaseline is petroleum-based and thus will dry, not moisten the nose.

Bleeding from the nose originating from sites other than the nasal mucosa is a common and serious occurrence in all species but particularly in the horse because of its implication for safety while racing. The passage of large amounts of blood suddenly is usually associated with pulmonary hemorrhage and is often fatal in horses and cattle. In horses this usually occurs during hard exercise. When the bleeding in the horse occurs at rest the origin is commonly from the guttural pouch and due to mycotic erosion of the blood vessels there.

Home Remedies for Nose Bleeding
  • To stop a nosebleed pinch the nose firmly (but not hard) at the bridge of your nose just below the bone. Do NOT lie down or tilt the head back, as this makes the blood go down your throat and will make you sick to your stomach. Hold this pinch for 2 -3 minutes until bleeding stops. Do NOT blow your nose. This will blow the clot out and make it start bleeding again.
  • Apple cider vinegar is useful in getting a nosebleed to stop. Apple cider vinegar safeguards the body from loss of blood. Soak a small cotton ball in the vinegar and pack it lightly into the nostril. The vinegar will help the blood to congeal.
  • Put a drop of lemon juice in your nostrils. Place a wet towel on the head. It will stop nose bleeding.
  • Every time you breathe in air, it the job of the nose to ensure that the air that reaches lungs is well humidified. As such, when your surroundings are dry, your nose has to work extra hard. So it's advised that you humidify the air with a good air humidifier.
  • Goldenseal Another herbal remedy is to make a tea from goldenseal using one teaspoon to a pint of boiling water. Steep a few minutes, let settle, and, when cold, snuff some into your nostrils. Do this several times during the day to prevent recurrence.
  • Take equal parts of Red sandalwood (Rakta Chandan), liquorice (Yashtimadhu) and Naagakesara and make a fine powder out of them. Add 2-3 pinches of this powder in a glass of milk and take it.
Before you begin to stop the nose bleed, blow your nose once forcefully. This will blow out any clot that is keeping the blood vessel in the nose lining open. Once the clot is out, the flexible fibers around that minute opening in the nose will itself contract.

How to Plan Christening Parties

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 15:01:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The christening of a child is a very special occasion. This is the first step that the baby takes in the world of Christianity and as such, it deserves to be marked and celebrated.

A christening party or a reception, as it is often called, will bring friends, relatives, the parents and the godparents of the child together. Planning a christening reception is not a simple task. The party needs to have special atmosphere and to correspond to the importance of the event.

You can make use of several great ideas when planning a christening party. These simple tips will help you put together the most amazing baby christening event ever.

Keep It Casual and Intimate
A christening party does not have to be flashy. The simpler it is, the better. Christening parties are usually very casual and relaxed, giving a group of people the chance to socialize and to celebrate a very special occasion.

The decorations can be exceptionally plain and minimalist, after all a christening is something far from luxury and vanity. Christening parties usually go without a theme but you can also dedicate it to anything baby-related. Crosses or a biblical theme will be appropriate.

Focus on the menu rather than on decorations. Ornate arches, table centerpieces and expensive tablecloths are unnecessary.

Think of Games
The games selected for a christening reception differ from the activities typical for a baby shower or a birthday party.

Board games will be best for this occasion. Such games give family members a chance to talk to each other while having fun and discussing issues of interest. Card games will also be quite appropriate.

If the reception is held outdoors, you can include sports. Volleyball, basketball, tennis and other sports that will give everyone the chance to participate will be a good selection.

Getting Guests Involved

The party will be extra special if you manage to get the guests involved in some way. Their input will be valuable to the family that is having a child christened.

The simplest option you can make use of is a guestbook. Have it available at the entrance, giving everyone the chance to write down a greeting or a special message. This guestbook will be a delightful souvenir from the christening reception.

Having video messages is another opportunity that you can utilize. You will need a small camera. Ask everyone to dedicate a personal message to the baby or the entire family. This option will give you the chance to create a very touching movie.

Decoration Ideas
Once again, the keyword that should guide all of your organizational activities is "simplicity."

White is a color that is typically connected to Christianity, purity and innocence. Make it focal to the reception's interior.

The items you can use include white balloons and white flowers. Refrain from overdoing it. Several centerpieces and delicate wall decorations will do just fine. In case the reception is held in the evening, you can make use of white candles.

Hold the Reception Immediately After the Christening
It will be easiest and most appropriate to hold the reception immediately after the baptism. Guests will be in a festive mood and you can extend the celebration.

Many churches have special halls that can be rented for special occasions. This makes it very convenient for you to hold the reception immediately after the baptism. Guests will be freed from the obligation to travel to another venue right after going to the church.

These are the basics of planning a christening party. It can be very simple, yet effective. Focus your efforts on creating intimate atmosphere. All other aspects of the reception hold secondary importance.

How to Tackle Motherhood Issues

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 20:05:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , , ,

Motherhood brings a world of new experiences and responsibility on the new moms and the new moms naturally may feel stressed out to cope with her new status in family. In modern India, women no longer stay at home. With a busy career, the issue becomes particularly difficult for a new mom. A new mom can get especially inundated under pressure, if she is a working lady. Her life will seem to be full of a never-ending cycle of duties. She will need to plan her life according to the need of the baby. However, motherhood also brings many blessings to count on and she should not despair under the pressure of the new circumstances that she will surely find herself in.  Here are some issues that a new mom has to face and also some tips which can help a new mom to better deal with her issues.

New moms need a helping hand and advice from the elders
The initial period after the delivery can be stressful. Throughout the early weeks following the delivery, a new mom goes through many physical discomforts and mental tension. The new mothers sometimes are unable to withstand the stress. This makes them easily irritable and touchy. Nowadays ninety-nine percent of the babies are delivered through surgery and it takes long to heal the wounds of the stitches. These stitches need to heal well. A new mom not only has to care for her baby, but also for her own body. This may seem to be a big task if there is no help at hand. During this initial period it is most important if an elder of the family is present to lend a helping hand to the new mom. A new mom can get the help from her mother, grandmother or mother-in-law. They may help her in doing the various chores around the house and also caring for the new born baby. This will certainly relieve the pressure of the new mom giving her a space to breathe a little. This will also increase her confidence in dealing with the baby. If the helps from the elders is not available, a new mom should consider taking the help of an experienced nanny.

Coping with depression or mood swing
After the delivery, many new moms have to go through what is called post natal depression. The hormones in her body go through a flux to make her prepared for her new motherhood. The hormonal changes in her body may make her emotionally very susceptible. Some form of yoga or aerobic exercises may help her cope well with the situation, apart from the expert medical help that might be available if she needs it badly.

Learning to take care of the baby
A new mom has to learn everything regarding caring for her baby. She needs to learn how to feed, bath and clothe her baby. She need to learn how to change nappies for her baby. She needs to learn how to clean the feeding bottles and many other such issues. She will have to prepare to have many sleepless nights to feed her baby as often as the baby is hungry or to change the wet diaper. All this involves a lot of sacrifice on her part.

Taking care of a crying baby
Babies cry often and a crying baby can be very exhausting for a new mom, especially in the night time. However getting frustrated or losing the temper would not help. A new mom should be patient to address the issue when her baby cries. Babies normally cry to convey some need or some discomfort it may have. A new mom has to learn why her baby may be crying. Is it for hunger, thirst, a wet nappy or some other discomfort? She should keep the baby closer to her and gently stroke the baby to settle the baby when it cries. Then she should address the problem. Babies often cry due to colic or pain from the wind. A new mom needs to keep the medicines at hand after consulting her pediatrician.

Planning the time well for an working mom
Women have to be mom and spouse at home and she will have other responsibilities in her office as well. Things become particularly stressful when a new mom has to join her office after the long pregnancy break. She will obviously feel overwhelmed to manage such varying responsibilities at home and office. If she does not plan her time well, she will soon find herself exhausted. Apart from the time allotted to caring the newborn and office responsibilities, a new mom should take some time out for herself. It means having some time for exercise, caring for her body and a quiet time for being alone with a book, some prayer, pursuing a hobby, or just sitting in peace without doing anything. Reserving some time for her self is important. It is not selfish; she needs it to rejuvenate her body and mind so that she can give hundred percent back when she goes back to her responsibility in home and office.

Being organized will save time
Since a new mom has to share many responsibilities, she needs to divide the area of her responsibility and consider her priorities well before the beginning of a hectic day. A new mom should make a checklist of works she needs to do in a day. She should learn to do the first thing first and leave the secondary things for later. It will help to unburden her mind.

Problems for new moms that stay at home
There are new moms that stay at home for caring their baby or there are moms that are housewives. They often feel suffocated or frustrated staying continuously confined in the house. They may be exhausted by taking care of the baby for twenty four hours and doing the household chores as well. Being a new mother may seem especially hard work for them. New moms need to go out and talk to other parents. This will help them a lot. Their own problem will not seem that big when they will learn stories from the parents in their neighborhood going through the similar experiences as they are facing.

Tips to Invest on Wearing Jewellery

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 12:00:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , , , ,

Jewellery can make us look younger, older, married, unmarried, classy or frumpy, so pick your pieces with care. Jewellery lasts a lifetime, and so one should not buy it on impulse. Many of us have some jewellery lying around at home, that we don't much care for and hardly ever wear. So instead of buying new jewellery, the next time around consider melting your gold to make something different. You can make something completely trendy and very wearable. Isn't it better that you convert the gold into something new, rather than leave it hanging around in the locker? 

Also, avoid the urge to buy numerous trinkets. Many of us spend far too much money on little things like tiny rings or little pendants. Instead of wearing a little ring on each finger, it makes more sense to invest that money in a single, bigger ring. Rings on each finger suit teenagers more than someone in their late twenties or thirties.

For your daughter 

Opt for silver jewellery for your teenage daughter. Sleek lines, non-ornate designs look fun and funky, and teenagers love them. They are also not much of an investment. Similarly, don't discourage your daughter from buying junk jewellery. Your daughter doesn't have to wear real gold or real stones all the time. Kids often tend to be careless, so if you daughter loses her earrings that she bought for forty rupees, you won't be as upset as you would be if she loses that diamond pendant. Also, if your child wears fake jewellery, she can experiment more, and get an idea of what looks good on her and what doesn't, so she will be more aware of what she wants when she buys something real.

For a younger look 

Silver jewellery makes you look younger than gold jewellery, but don't overdo it. Also, very ethnic silver jewellery can come off looking tacky if not worn with care. For an idea of how silver jewellery can look classy and ultra-sophisticated, check out. Similarly, classy can make you look older, as opposed to trendy, that looks younger. Large stud earrings make you look older than dangling earrings, but dangling earrings are not always appropriate if they are very long. Small stud earrings are perfect for daily wear, and don't make you look older.

For investment 

Jewellery is far from being a great investment. There are various resale restrictions. You often need to sell jewellery back to the same shop you bought it from, or exchange it for something else. On the other hand, investing your money your money in a fixed deposit account, stocks or land would probably yield you greater returns in the long run than jewellery would - so avoid buying jewellery you don't need. You could, of course, buy a few key pieces for your daughter over the years, but bear in mind that they may go out of style, or your daughter may not be crazy about them when she grows up.

Kindergarten Readiness Checklist

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 09:15:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , ,

Kindergarten is where most children learn to read and write. Though some kids can do this before entering kindergarten, it is not required or expected. Being ready for kindergarten means having well-developed preschool skills, and being academically, socially, and physically ready for the transition. Here are some signs that your child is ready for kindergarten:

Academically (pre-reading skills)
  • Can retell a simple story
  • Speaks in complete sentences of 5-6 words
  • Writes name or recognizes letters in name 
  • Recognizes the title of a book
  • Matches rhyming sounds
  • Counts to ten
Socially
  • Feels comfortable in a group
  • Asks for help when needed
  • Knows personal information (name, age, gender)
  • Follows simple instructions
  • Recognizes authority
  • Is able to share
Physically
  • Exhibits fine motor skills (holds pencil, traces shapes, buttons shirt, etc.)
  • Exhibits motor coordination (rides a bike with training wheels, hops, skips)
  • Manages bathroom needs
Is Your child ready for Kindergarten?

Most children start kindergarten at age 5. If your child’s birthday falls in late spring or summer and will have just turned 5 at the beginning of the school year, or if you feel your child would benefit from another year of preschool, you might consider waiting until the next academic year.

Consider your child’s academic skills, but also his or her temperament. Remember that if your child is on the older or younger end of the class, this has an impact not only on kindergarten, but also on middle school, high school, driving, and going to college. If he is the youngest in his class now, he will be then, too!

When in doubt
  • Discuss your concerns with your child’s preschool teacher.
  • Discuss your concerns with the future principal and kindergarten teacher
  • Tour the school and observe a kindergarten classroom
  • Trust your instincts! You know your child best. Listen to others, think about your child, and then go with your gut

How To Help Children Writing Process

Posted by: Tips Park Posted date: 09:20:00 / comment : 0 , , , , , , , ,

Writing is a terrific way for children to express their thoughts, creativity, and uniqueness. It is also a fundamental way in which children learn to organize ideas. And learning to write well helps children to be better readers.

When engaging in writing, young children often mirror what they see around them – adults and older children writing lists, notes, text messaging. They are observing the way writing is used in our everyday lives.

Writing at home
Here are some suggestions that engage your child in the writing process:
  • Have your child write instructions for taking care of the family pet. These will be useful as you plan your summer vacations!
  • Write a letter or thank you note to a relative. Talk through what your child wants to say before writing begins.
  • Talk about the presidential election and write a description of the kind of president you want.
  • Find a picture in the newspaper and write an article to accompany it.
  • Start keeping a personal diary, a household guestbook, or a baby book for a younger sibling.
Does spelling count?
Early attempts at spelling are not the random swings they sometimes appear. Children's “invented spelling” gives us a window into what they understand about written language. A good teacher will be able to tell the difference between the misspellings that indicate normal literacy development and those that suggest a possible learning disability. If you have questions, talk to your child’s teacher or reading specialist. 

What should I write about?

Help your child get their thoughts together in an organized way. Especially when a child starts writing, he may need help planning out what he wants to say. 

Writer’s strike
If your child avoids writing, use materials and tools that support both the thinking process and the physical act of writing:
  • Use wide lined paper which helps kids line up and space their letters
  • Use a whiteboard, which allows them to easily erase and try again
  • Use a keyboard, which also allows kids to easily edit
