Tooth Fairy Letters Are Encouraging

When your child or grandchild gets that personalized letter, the excitement will be almost uncontrollable. There is something about getting mail for these kids at the ages of 6, 7, or 8 years old.

When they open the mailbox and find an envelope with their name on it, you will hear squeals of delight. It does not matter whether a boy or girl - the realization that a letter has been mailed directly to them is very exciting.

Even as adults,even we enjoy getting the occasional letter. How much more exciting - something that shares the passage of time as a child is getting older, is welcomed by children at any age. The time that a child loses that first 'baby tooth' is traumatic to them because it is an immediate visible change - everyone that sees the child notices that the tooth is gone.

Added to this is the difference realized in speech patterns. A child that has never had problems enunciating words with the 's' sound, might find himself or herself dealing with an obvious lisp overnight. To the adults this is simply how it works. When the top front tooth is lost, there are issues pronouncing some sounds. But to the child, he may feel self-conscious and become a bit withdrawn. Tooth fairy letters make it easier to bear for children.

In order to relieve some of the stress that a child might experience, it is important to portray the loss as a positive thing. Tooth fairy letters can help in this regard. By ordering a tooth fairy letter and having it delivered by mail to your child or grandchild, you have presented the child with something that places the loss of the tooth in a positive light.

Tooth fairy letters are a wonderful way to encourage children.

Growing Old Does Have Its Problems

There are some advantages to getting older and becoming a senior citizen and possibly a grandparent. As they say, it beats the alternative. Being alive is usually a good thing, and people are not anxious to die (unless life is difficult because they become extremely old or unhealthy). Even though the years may indicate they are senior citizens, many people are still active, healthy, and vibrant as they enter this age group. Staying that way may be a challenge.

For some who are fortunate enough to retire from their job, they may find that they are finally blessed with more time, more freedom, and more money. Life becomes enjoyable as they have more time to pursue other interests which may have been on the back burner as day to day responsibilities were heavy.

If the time, freedom, and money are available or even abundant in their lives, seniors may have the opportunity to: • Get up whenever they feel like it • Stay up as late as they want • Enjoy life to the fullest • Do what they want when they want • Spend time with family and friends • Travel, go out to dinner and the theater

There may be problems which arise and do not allow seniors to enjoy life as they had hoped they would when more time and freedom became available. Some of the deterrents may be: • Health may have deteriorated (hearing, eyesight, walking, balance) • Money may be tight • Energy may have waned • Motivation and enjoyment of life may have diminished • Friends may be gone

Some people have no desire to leave the work force when they become the age of normal retirement. They want to continue to be active as long as their health will allow it. There are more and more senior citizens still working now because they simply want to keep working. Perhaps they want to because they need the money, but many do so because they enjoy getting out with people and staying involved with a daily routine.

Fortunate is the person who becomes a senior citizen and has the freedom to choose what to do next. Life can still be enjoyed to the fullest if time, freedom, and money are available along with good health, the factor which can affect all of it for good or bad.

Life has much to offer, and senior citizens should see that their day to day challenges and responsibilities have lessened. It can be the best time of their lives if time, freedom, and money are available and used wisely.
