This week the theme is on Orange and it is a bright and sunny day today. The kids and I are in a bright and sunny mood as R’s returning home today from his business trip.
Singa the Courtesy Lion who championed the Courtesy campaign from 1979 to 2000.
A close up of the flowers at the airport.
I escape to the virtual world of internet. It’s difficult enough to get to step out of the house without a kid in tow.
2. What shows are you watching this fall?
I’m currently watching Vampire Diaries 2 (if I do get to switch on the TV when it airs) and re-runs of Kipper the Dog, Oswald the Octopus and other kid shows that the kids are watching.
3. What was the longest roadtrip you’ve ever taken and where did you go?
It would be when I was in University and we travelled all the way to Ayer’s Rock in the Australian desert during our term break.
4. Do you plan on taking your kids to Disney World?
No. Not this few years until the youngest is old enough to walk and patiently queue up for rides.
5. What is something people would surprised to know about you?
I’m a left handed but can do most things with both hands. I use the left hand to play most sports like badminton and bowling however when it comes to snooker/pool I prefer to use the right hand.
My Questions This Week
1) How do you deal with kids who love to slouch?
2) Would an ergonomic chair or balance ball chair solve the posture problem?

Those flowers are so pretty! And is the last one a lamp shade? It’s lovely!

Interesting FQF answers and glad your love is returning home!
I haven’t gotten to the point of dealing with the slouching as yet, but I’d remind them (put charts up as reminders and points earned etc) about the importance of good posture. Or you could consider a class.
I do believe the ball might help.
ALoha!

Gorgeous representations of orange!
Haven’t had any issues with slouching…yet. But one of those balance balls or ergonomic chairs might do the trick!

Great questions. I have a son who is always slouching because he grew faster than his friends. So hanging around them, he felt more comfortable by slouching to be their size, now, I think he became permanently that way. The only thing I can do is remind him that he has to straighten up and that his friends now are no longer that size..lol
I have an ergo chair it doesn’t help me sit straight, I have to constantly tell myself to straighten up too.

We usually just tell the kids to stand/sit up straight and put their shoulders back. Not sure about the chairs or balls, but they might help.

Remind them to straight up often I think it would help!
