Birdees the App

Are you finding difficulty explaining about the “Birds and the Bees” to your kids? Do you cringe when you have to explain to them about their body parts and how babies are formed? Here is a easy way for you to address this sensitive topic with your kids with Birdees Sex App by GoTo Educational Technology Inc.

The iBody Section

There are two sections iBody and iTools. In the iBody section . In the iBody section the child gets to learn about the different parts of their body

Learning about his body parts

The basics which include the sexual organs for both the male and female and the various body functions are introduced to the child in easy to understand graphics which even pre-schoolers can understand.

The digestive system

While taping on the various parts of the body the screen the name of each part is read out to you. This makes it easier for the child to identify each part properly.

In the other section iTools there is information about the different boundaries that one should have in regards to touching and behaviour ,stranger danger, types of families, how babies are made etc. There are many different scenarios depicted to the child and they are to assess whether the behaviour or action shown is correct or wrong. in the Boundaries and Stranger Danger areas. I find this a great assessment tool in finding out the among of knowledge your child already knows about the subject.

There are tips for parents and also certificates given for completing each section. The assessment page lets the parent know how much of the different topic the kid has covered while using the app.

I certainly recommend this app to parents as an aid to talk about Sex education with their kids.

Weekend Reflections: Building your Nest

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Weekend Reflections Family Building, weekend reflections

A Swallow’s Nest

Step by step, piece by piece. The little bird takes the piece of twine and adds it to the nest that it is building. It is a labor of love as it creates it home where it would dwell. This nest is it’s priced possession as it was made to give it protection and comfort from the harsh elements in the environment.

As a parent we too build up our own nest for our kids. We hope that in this place of dwelling that we create is able to provide our kids both physical and mental comforts. A safe haven which they can retreat to on a daily basis. Somewhere which they can get away from the daily stresses of life and recharge. A place of support where one is allowed to be vulnerable and connect with your inner self. A place for reflections and pondering about the journey of life.

A space for spiritual development and character building where we lovingly fill in the colors to the canvases that we were given to paint on. A sanctuary for the tired and hungry where no judgement is being passed on the individuals who dwell in the space.

Our outlook on live will affect the atmosphere in our nest. The positive or negative vibes which we have would filter onto our kids and affect their way of thinking and perspective of the world. We can either give them the motivation and support to see them through their struggles and challenges which they may face or tear then down with our words and actions.
