First Aid Skills with Children

Leave a comment
When was the last time that you practised First Aid skills? Was
it when you did your driver’s license test? If that is the case, then you need to make a change and brush up on your
lifesaving skills.
 
A great way to do this would be to refresh your skills together with your children. You can do this at: Redcross This site offers a great course for you to practice and teach your child/children First Aid Skills. As well as being a fun time of bonding, it will help you all to have a safer life and be prepared to help others.

Marriage after Baby

Leave a comment

If you are pregnant then you are in a wonderful situation. Your thoughts are consumed by your upcoming due date and you are excited about meeting your child. You are eager to look into the face of your child and you are preparing everything: choosing the perfect color to paint the new nursery, selecting a name, etc.

But have you thought about yourself? About all the changes that you and your husband are going to face in day-to-day life, especially when it comes to your intimacy? Today, I would like to share two web pages with you that offer great answers on this topic, as well as an overview by Sarah Ortiz from the American Bible Society about what the Bible teaches us about forgiveness. May God bless your marriage as you enter this new season of life.

Yours Christian Pälchen

Constructive arguing

Leave a comment

Arguments can be either constructive or destructive; it all depends on how you handle them. Many times our relationships fall apart or develop into unending chapters of misery because we either fail to recognise or are unwilling to face our problems before they escalate into emergencies. Rather than discuss what’s not working between us, we get into a conflict and argue about whose fault it is. In contrast to discussion that constructively airs the issues, arguments bring charges and appoint blame, which is destructive. They provoke hurt, anger, defensiveness, aggressive feelings, bitterness, and other strong emotions. That’s why the Bible says, “It is to a man’s honour to avoid strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel”, Proverbs 20:3. Now let’s get real for a second!

Diapering:

Leave a comment

Diapering is one, among many, challenges that parents face.

On one side of this challenge, you are faced with the question: What is the best for our child? Should our daughter/son wear washable, organic diapers or not? What are the benefits of reusable diapers compared to disposable diapers? What are the costs? Are disposable diapers really more expensive? Which brand is the best in the market? How much time will I spend washing natural diapers? What is the monetary value of that time? Are they really better for the environment? And so on…

Today, we would like to introduce you to a great article about this topic and an overview of the best diapers in the market. You will also be provided with tips on how to potty-train your child, tests about almost all diaper-relevant products, like the best baby-wipes or the best diaper bags for moms and dads. We hope that this useful site helps you with some of these decisions.

All the best with your journey,

Christian Pälchen.
