With the new economic trends, there are many investors looking for different ways to make their money work for them. Infomercials and books advertising ways to invest in real estate and debt buying are enticing everyone, including us mommy(ies) of course, from young investors to those who are looking for a way to diversify their portfolio. These investments may work for some people but most of the time they become part of the list of investments your children will learn from.
Ponzi Schemes. This type of investment usually comes with an outrageous guarantee that if you put in a certain amount of money you will certainly get back an amount much higher. The problem with these investments is the only person making money is the one selling you the investment. In reality the investment itself does not truly exist and you will lose thousands of dollars if not more. Most people did not know what a ponzi scheme was until the media began reporting on people being arrested for facilitating them.
Unsecured Loans. This investment can be risky no matter how you choose to do it. If you choose to take out a payday loan in order to fund your investments, you may find yourself unable to pay back the loan amount. Those who do not need to borrow money to make an investment may choose to invest in lending for payday loans. In this journey, you risk losing your money due to the borrower not repaying the loan.
Precious Metals.
Investing in metals such as gold and silver may seem like a great idea at the time you are considering it. The problem with this investment is the risk of dropping prices which can happen at any time with little or no notice. Another important issue with investing in precious metals is that they are not a good source of continuous income like other investments are. In order to successfully invest in a metal such as gold, it is very important to follow the values very closely. This will allow you to sell the gold before the value decreases and you are forced to take a loss.
Real Estate. This investment may not seem risky to most people, but the real estate market fluctuates frequently. If you choose to purchase a building or home out of foreclosure in order to flip it and resell it, you will want to work fast and try to keep your budget low. The longer it takes to sell the home the more you will be spending on loans and interest. On the other hand if you purchase rental property, there is always a risk that your tenants will not pay the rent or will damage the home while they are living there.
Toddlers want to feel included and competent, so choose books that your child can follow along with, especially those with repetitive text so she can fill in words. Maintain your toddler’s interest by choosing books with short text on the page, as well as books about topics that you know are of-interest.
For younger toddlers you would want sturdy board books with pictures of kids doing the things they do everyday, nowadays there's already an iPad. Books about bedtime, baths, or mealtime are all good choices, so are books about saying hello or good-bye. Keep active hands busy with lift-the-flap pages and textures to feel.
Toddlers from 24 to 36months are able to turn paper pages, so this is a good time to explore beyond board books. They are also beginning to understand the mechanics of reading and like books that are repetitive and easy to memorize so that they can read along.
Mommy/Parent like to enjoy movie theater style popcorn at home with the Whirley pop popcorn popper. This fun little popcorn machine is easy to use, fun and make far more popcorn than a microwave bag of popcorn. It’s a healthier choice, and the kids will get excited in the movie journey every time they see you pull this appliance out of the cabinet. Healthy and Wholesome Popcorn isn’t just for kids or movies. It’s a great snack for adults, and kids enjoy eating it anytime. The Whirley pop is a healthier choice because there are no chemicals or preservatives. Cook plain popcorn and flavor it with real melted butter, parmesan cheese or other marvelous flavors that will make your popcorn even better than the movie theaters. Pop a Little or a Lot The hand-cranked stove top popcorn from Whirley Pop lets you make a little or a lot of popcorn. You can cook up to six quarts of popcorn in just three minutes, or you can cook a small amount if you just want a fast snack. Made from stainless steel and available in a beautiful red color, the Whirley Pop is easy to use. You can cook popcorn over the stovetop, and the crank allows you to keep the popcorn moving and prevent burning. The lid detaches for easy cleaning, but it also seals tight to keep in that great flavor when you are making the popcorn. Ideal for anyone who enjoys popcorn but wants to keep it healthy, the Whirl Pop is also a great choice for families who want that movie theater flavor in the comfort of their own kitchen.
A speech delay is basically a communication disorder among children who fail to converse properly when compared with other children of the same age. The cause may be because the child is busy learning other skills or she does not get much attention on her speech. Poor balanced diet and emotional stress may also contribute to speech delay. Or, those children whose parents are abusive are likely to have speech delay, mainly due to lack of communication. At times, physical causes such as mental retardation also lead to speech disorder.
Remember that just like other areas of development, a child develops verbally at her own pace. Some toddlers are already point out their body parts before they walk, others not well into their second year. Whatever the case, be patient; as long as you are exposing her to talking or talking to her often, then you just have to sit back and let nature take its course.
