Child Discipline

The real function of discipline is constructive correction of any misbehavior of a child. It is providing the child with the right direction and control necessary for decision-making especially with respect to rules and authority.

In establishing discipline parents and other people in-charge of taking care of the child should know the value of praising any act, initiative or positive behavior that a child may manifest. To children praising means love and concern.

When physical punishment is necessary, it must be appropriate for the gravity of offense and should be explained why it is being done to show him/her that the parent is really serious about the matter. Punishment should be used sparingly to avoid strained relationship between parent and child.

At this stage of development, adolescents ned encouragement and guidance in the complex process of growing up. Some negative attitude to be avoided by parents are over protectiveness, permissiveness and favoritism which are hindrance in administering discipline in children. Parents should be consistent and firm if they expect discipline to be effective.

Importance of Friendship in the Choice of Mate

Man was created alone. He was created to be directly or indirectly dependent upon others. Aside from your family , you need others to make life more meaningful. You have to interact personally with others in order to win and maintain friends.

Friends enrich each other's life by being together and for what they give and share. This is especially true when you have friends to both sexes. This relationships or interactions of both boys and girls before marriage will help them compare and understand people which is a great help when they are ready to select a mate in the future.

Facing an Audience

For most of us, facing an audience is a rather harrowing experience. The person who is the focus of many eyes must work hard to stay composed and at the same time keep his mind on what he is saying. Simultaneously, the public speaker must be aware of his audience. He must know when they are amused, when convinced, when confused. Only then can he re-trace his steps if necessary, improvise if the situation calls for it, change tactics if has to.

The written word stands on its own; the spoken word is only part of a larger impression created by a speaker. For that reason, the relationship between speaker and audience is a complicated one. If the speaker hopes to gauge reactions and mold them, he must constantly be aware of the impression he is making on his audience.

Improving Your Speaking Skills

Unless you have somehow evaded the law of averages, you say about twenty thousand words a day and devote over 90 per cent of your language activity to talking. You probably do most of this talking without paying much attention to it. As you speak, your mind wanders, you interrupt yourself, your sentences trail off. Yet you do manage to be understood.

Speaking in public is a different matter. Your audience is captive. They are listening closely to what you have to say, and they are making judgments about you and your ideas. For that reason, you should try to improve your public speaking.

Speaking is a skill. This mean it can be studied, developed, and perfected. The effort, furthermore, is well worth it. For as your public speaking improves, your everyday speech will too. You will have now confidence and eloquence in talking to a college admissions officer, applying for a job, or conversing with friends.

This chapter will tell you how to recognize and combat some of the most common problems people have in speaking habits, using effective gestures, and controlling nervousness.

To Use Or Not To Use SLANG

There is no doubt that slang has its place. It is used freely in informal conversation, and some of it works its way eventually into accepted usage. An example is the noun jazz which has been admitted into the language because it stands for a new idea for which no standard work previously existed. Although slang may add color and vigor to informal communication, it should be avoided in formal speaking and writing.

If we wish to express ourselves clearly and forcefully, we should avoid slang as much as possible in informal conversation and in intimate social letter.

Improving The Way We Talk

Since we spend about ninety per cent of our walking hours in talking, we ought to give some time and thought to the improvement of the way we talk. You may be good-looking and intelligent, but your good qualities may be marred if your speech is careless. Improved speech frequently results from imitation; and the boy or girl is fortunate who hears only the best examples of speech at home, at school, or in the community. A person with excellent speech is more likely to succeed in whatever he does.

Breaking the stereotypes

It's common to hear stories of men being unfaithful. After all, they have the commitment issues, the biological urge to "spread their seed," and the oh-so-annoying habit of looking at younger women's short skirts. Wives, on the other hand, are usually painted as martyrs: waiting at home, taking care of the kids, loyally turning a blind eye.

But like all stereotypes, the black-and-white portrait of "Men Bad, Women Kawawa" is way of the mark. The movie Unfaithful, starring Diane Lane and Richard Gere, shows us that even Hollywood-the home of silly stereotypes-is beginning to accept that women have urges and are perfectly capable of acting on them. Even if it means cheating on their husbands.

Sister Harriet Hormillosa, President and Founder of Reintegration for Care and Wholeness (RCW) Foundation, Inc. says there is a remarkable rise in the number of women having extra-marital affairs. Of course, there are different degrees: it could be an office flirtation; a weekly rendezvous; or an open relationship where marriage is just a farce kept for the sake of the kids.

Think ahead, take advantage of sales and bazaars

Since December is fast approaching, take note of the "mall-wide" sales or monthly bazaars. Make your Christmas list and assign a realistic amount for each gift budget. Group names into "godchildren" or "friends" and buy reasonably priced unique gifts that are on sale now to ease spending during the end of the year.

Did You Know ?

Agricultural runoff and domestic wastes are largely responsible for the phenomenon known as EUTROPHICATION. The abundance of nutrients in the water causes profuse growth of algae and other water plants. As these die and decompose, the oxygen dissolved in the water gets depleted, virtually causing suffocation ( i.e., choking or death due to lock of oxygen ) of most aquatic life in the area.

Soap

Did You Know?

Soap manufactures add chemical called trisodium phosphate to detergents. This chemical, often referred to simply as phosphate, reacts with water, lowering its surface tension and thereby causing clothes to get wet faster.

Metalic Minerals in the Philippines

Metals are taken from mines. Recall what you learned in your Social Studies classes about are meaning industry including, among others, such information as the following.

a. Uses of the minerals

b. Countries to which they are exported

c. The country's income from such exportation

Harvesting

Most farm products are perishable. A single day's delay in marketing harvested products may result to serious deterioration especially during hot weather. Delay in harvesting also reduces the yield caused by many factors.

Crop products are harvested in different stages defending on the purpose. Leafy and fruit and vegetables are harvested while they are fresh, tender and green. Some vegetable crops possess better quality when they are harvested while dry. Rice and corn for human and animal consumption are best harvested when the grains are at their hard dough stages. Corn for boiling is harvested at the early stage of the fruit. On the other hand, root crops are harvested before they fully mature and become fibrous. Others are harvested when the leaves are dry.

Decorating Scheme

A beautiful room is one where the personality of the occupant is reflected. Individuality is achieved by choosing furniture, curtains, wall and floor coverings, and accessories that express personal interests. These interests and hobbies will help make your home environment a personal masterpiece rather than a photocopy or an expression of other person's ideas. Color, texture and style preferences are important factors in decorating, especially in expressing personal choices.

Keeping the Surrounding Clean, Orderly and Beautiful

There is nothing more pleasing than seeing a clean and orderly surroundings. It will contribute to the home and will contribute to the well-being of the family members.

Ornamental plants used as hedges, potted flowering plants such as roses, daisies, dwarfed yellow and a small backyard vegetable garden, could bring an air of pleasantness and freshness in the surroundings.

Tonal System

The most famous legend concerning the origin of Chinese music says that around 2697 B.C, the Emperor- ti cent a certain Ling. In to the mountains to cut bamboo pipes. From these pipes the fundamental pitches would be derived. This is why Chinese musical based on the overblown fifths is called IU SYSTEM. Below is the Chinese scale system and it's changing tones (pien) the melodies o Chinese music are based on five-tone scale.

Habit

There are times when you do things by force of habit. Habits are not at all bad. In fact, they are important and quite useful. They spare you of having to think about every single thing you do everyday. However, habits could be disastrous sometimes. Suppose you are used to studying your lessons as soon as you get home from school. Unluckily, there is a new brownout schedule in your place which falls exactly on your study time. This gives you a hard time adjusting, but you have no choice except to develop a new habit - a new plan of action.
