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 But to the child, he may feel self-conscious and become a bit withdrawn.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.

A Grand Dad, His Grand-Kids and His iPad

I was blessed enough in the sixth decade of my life to have been able to purchase an iPad 2 when they first came out. I can honestly say that it has been an enjoyable journey that continues to this day. The learning curve wasn't so bad since I owned an iPhone about three or four years prior.

Granted the iPad can't do all the things I was doing on my desktop and laptop (I was a PC guy), but that wasn't a big problem. And my iPad just lets me be mobile in ways I couldn't with a laptop. Try telling your 2 year old grand kids to wait while your laptop turns-on or shuts-down, when they're ready to go.

Speaking of the grand kids, my 2 year old grand daughter has become quite a navigator on grandpa's iPad. It's great to see her little fingers sliding around the screen, she knows how to get to her games and childrens movies I loaded on it. But the really cool part is when she gets stuck on something, then looks at me and speaks in tot-oneese "papa hep". That's when my whole world stops for a moment. We can sit there side by side and look at the screen together and find a way to solve or learn or just have a good time scrolling the screen looking for something else to do.

Sure we play in the back yard with the cats and dog. Or I turn on the bubble machine and let them run through the bubbles. We have a rabbit we let out in the back yard and play hide and seek with. But when grand dad needs a break, the iPad comes out and most times it's all good.

Finding games/apps that will keep the kids content is not a problem. If you look hard and long in the App Store you will find appropriate entertainment for the kids in all of us. And boy are there a lot of apps that can be found in the AppStore. Lots of free apps teasers, these are the ones that are free to try, then to get to higher more difficult levels there's a small fee. It's not a bad thing since it gives you a chance to see if the kids or you like the free app before you spend money on it. There are iPad learning apps for children and learning game apps for all ages. My other grand daughter had trouble with the letters 'b' and 'd'. A couple sessions using an alphabet app and she got it down, the interactive, fun and easy way.

I just have to say it's been an awesome time playing with the iPad and the grand-kids. I know it's a great tool, but it's also a grand kid magnet, and that's a pretty good thing!
