61-80 Tips

61. Untidy Kids?
Put all the items in a box. When the box is full, give your children notice that anything still in the box in 2 days time will be put in the dustbin/garbage.

62. Computers
If adults and children share the same computer, make sure chair height etc. can be (and is) altered for each person.

63. Bedtime, Slow Time
Encourage your child in less energetic activities in the hour before bed, so he/she is able to wind down naturally.

64. Symptoms
Symptoms can be nature's way of telling us something is wrong. When you tackle the symptoms, are you killing the messenger?

65. Children & Vegetables
If your child won't eat vegetables, try them on coloured soups - 'pink soup' (beetroot) is a favourite, as are 'yellow soup' (corn) and 'orange soup' (carrot).

66. Toys
"A child can get everything he wants from 'Toys R Us' and yet, with amazing ease, still have a gloomy mental life. What really matters, in the end, is how much positivity there is inside his little head." Martin E.P. Seligman

67. Sunscreen Protection
No sunscreen can offer total protection against the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. Don't think that because your child is wearing sunscreen they can stay in the sun for hours.

68. Weaning Your Baby
Don't introduce solid foods until your baby is at least 4 months old, and preferably 6 months old.

69. Eczema And Water
Adults and children with eczema may benefit from washing and showering in filtered water. Buy a filter system for the whole house. They don't have to be as expensive as you might think.

70. House Dust Mites
If you're child scratches while asleep or wakes blocked up, he/she may be reacting to house dust mites.

71. Hay Fever And Exams
Hay fever medication containing chlorpheniramine has been shown to result in a 40% chance of a drop in grade if taken during exams. Try safe, effective homeopathic remedies instead.

72. Colic In Babies
If your baby gets colic, cries a lot and won't settle, get them checked out by a cranial osteopath.

73. Teenage Girls
Many teenage girls don't get enough iron. Encourage them to eat iron rich food. They don't need to eat meat - parsley, apricots, and fortified cereals contain iron.

74. Untidy Kids?
Put all the items in a box. When the box is full, give your children notice that anything still in the box in 2 days time will be put in the dustbin/garbage.

75. Cuts And Grazes
Use natural calendula cream to soothe cuts and grazes.

76. Healthy Eating
If you want your child to eat more healthily, set them an example by eating and enjoying healthy food yourself, but don't make a big deal of it.

77. Mumps Or Chicken Pox?
Homeopathic 'Belladonna' may help if your child has a sore throat, earache, mumps or chicken pox.

78. Try Something New
Try a new recipe or new food each week. Having a broadly based diet will minimise the risk of nutritional deficiencies.

79. Healthy, Fun Drinks For Children
Make ice cubes from fruit juice and add different coloured ones to water for a healthy, fun drink for children.

80. Accident? Injury?
Try homeopathic 'Arnica' if you've had an accident or been injured in some way.
