Home Schooling : How to Teach Languages

Lisa Preston, Our official Homeschooling Expert says:

According to many researchers, the best time to introduce your child to the sounds of different languages is before the age of two. Some even report that if a child hears the sounds of a language before age two, when he's older and begins to learn the language, he'll speak without an accent -- like a native from that country.

Dating Nightmares

Our dating expert, Stephany Alexandar is featured on E! Entertainment's Investigating "Dating Nightmares" talking about the revolutionary changes taking place in the dating world. According to the show, "Approximately 44% of American adults are single. The demand for true love has given rise to big business within the dating world." Stephany Alexander adds, "There's been a tremendous change because of the invention of chat rooms, texting, online dating and even services like speed dating. People lie about everything...That's why it's very important to screen your dates before you get involved with somebody because if you let the wrong person into your life they can destroy it."  The following is a clip from this investigation on dating.

Overcoming Childhood Fears

I woke up to a copy of one of my favorite newsletters in my inbox - the ThoughtsAlive.com ezine by Leslie Householder. In it she had a story that made me think of my own children -- one in particular. I'm going to try this tactic the next time one of them is experiencing unfounded fears.

Here's an excerpt from Leslie's blog:

"Do you remember what it was like when you were a child, and going to bed was sometimes a scary thing to do? I remember thinking there were snakes under my bed, or monsters in the closet. Even though there wasn't any such thing hiding in my room, the fear was as real as if my life was truly in danger.

I'd lay there with the covers bundled around my neck, after having seen an episode of "Cliff Hangers" back in the 1970's - something about vampires, and it took a long time before I could go to bed without worrying about something swooping in to suck my blood.

Well, my daughter is ten, and something has planted the idea in her mind that someone is going to break in and kill her after bedtime. What a horrible thought! I have tried everything I can think of to help her go to bed in peace. We've used music, prayer, EFT, reading, and still, bedtime continued to trouble her.

Finally last night we had a breakthrough."  Click here to find out what worked.

Helping Others Breeds Success

The following is a post by Bea Fields, leadership expert in her Millennial Leaders blog.

Want to Be Successful? Help People Out!

I was meeting a few days ago with a few younger biz leaders, and out of the blue, someone asked me “Bea…what do you think the key to success is?”

The answer just flew out of my mouth “Just help people out.”

I cannot tell you how true this is. Throughout my life, I have been a “helper”. I just can’t “help it.” Okay…enough of the corny stuff. People call me generous, but I honestly learned this trait from my parents and grandparents. We all believed that when someone needed help, you did not wait for them to ask. You just went and helped them. Some people call this a character flaw in me, because I often give way too much. I call it a blessing.

I have found in life that the most important question you can ask a friend, colleague, customer, employee or boss is “How can I help you?” Then…go help them. If you just ask the question without any follow through, then your word cannot be trusted. If you ask and then act, the rewards you feel from giving can fuel your passion.

At some point along the way, we all have to strike that balance…between helping people who constantly take from us and knowing how to be in a mutually supportive relationship. Find out more here.

Say YES to Yourself By Knowing How to Say NO

Nancy Gerber, Our official Relationship Expert says:

Many of my coaching clients and workshop participants struggle with taking consistent action toward their most important goals. These are already successful people who assume that, in order to succeed, they need to simply "find more time" -- to somehow squeeze just a few more minutes, one more hour out of their already overcrowded warp speed lives.

Dog Training In The Kitchen

Eleanor Scheidemann, Our official Pets Expert says:

Anyone who owns a large dog knows what counter surfing is. For those of you who don't: it is when the dog puts his paws on the kitchen counter in search of anything appealing. Until you have experienced this canine phenomenon you have no idea how far a dog can extend his otherwise stubby neck when a highly valued item is just a few more inches away.
