Biography: A Canadian/British filmmaker, former advertising executive, and now a film director and producer most known for his documentary Elton John: Tantrums & Tiaras. He is the civil partner of British entertainer Elton John.
David Furnish was born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada to Jack Furnish (retired, former director of Bristol-Myers) and Gladys Furnish (retired, homemaker). He has an older brother, John, and a younger brother, Peter. Furnish graduated from the Sir John A. Macdonald Collegiate Institute in 1981 and received an Honours Business Administration undergraduate degree from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario in 1985. He was recruited by the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, eventually transferred to the London, England, office and was appointed to their Board.
A mutual friend of Furnish and Elton John left a message for Furnish inviting him to a dinner party at John?s house on October 30, 1993. Initially fearing that the dinner would be unpleasant, or that John would be boring, he instead found John to be interesting and engaging. Both were attracted to each other; John asked for his phone number and the two had a private dinner the following night.
Furnish resigned from his position in 1994 after finding it increasingly difficult to balance the position?s demands with the demands of his new life with John.
With a keen interest in film, Furnish enrolled in courses at the British Film Institute. He is currently co-chief of Rocket Pictures along with John.
Furnish is a contributing editor for Tatler magazine and also is a regular columnist for Interview and GQ.
Furnish currently serves on the board of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, attending fundraisers and other events in support of that cause.

Битва на Косовому полі ( або ; ) — битва між середньовічною Сербією та Османською імперією. Відбулася 15 червня 1389 року на день святого Віта (сербською Відовдан). Косівська битва є важливою складовою національної історії сербів, їх спадку та міфології.

Надійні історичні свідчення про битву рідкісні. Більша частина обох армій була знищена, Лазар і Мурад були вбиті. По суті, обидві армій були перебиті, однак, серби не мали більше людських ресурсів і не могли виставити нові великі армії проти майбутніх нападів османів, які мали резервні сили в Анатолії. Як наслідок цього, сербські князівства, які ще не були васалами османів, стали ними за наступні кілька років.

Перед битвою

Військо сербів очолював князь Лазар Хребелянович. Припускається, що він зібрав свої полки біля Нішу, можливо, на правому березі Південної Морави. Османське військо очолювали султан Мурад I та його син Баязід І. Спершу військо Мурада рухалось у напрямку Велбужда, а потім змінило напрямок через Прокуплє до Косова. Князь Лазар обрав Косово поле для проведення битви, оскільки воно було оптимальним місцем для перехоплення османського війська.

Не можна впевнено сказати, якими були чисельності армій, тим паче, що пізніші джерела прагнули перебільшити їхні розміри, навіть до сотень тисяч.

Склад армії
Армія Мурада мала чисельність близько 27 000-40 000. Якщо припустити, що їх було близько 40 000, то серед них було 2000—5000 яничарів, 6000 сипахів, 20 тис. азапів та акинджів, а також 8 тис. васалів. Військо Лазара могло мати чисельність від 12 до 30 тис. Можна припустити, що їх було близько 25 000, з яких 15 тис. були під безпосереднім командуванням Лазара, 5 — під проводом косовського жупана Вука Бранковича, та стільки ж — під проводом боснійського воєводи Влатка Вуковича. Кілька тисяч складала кіннота, але, мабуть, тільки кілька сотень з них були одягнуті у важкі обладунки.

Обидві армії зустрілися на Косовому полі. Османська армія під проводом Мурада і його синів Баязіда праворуч і Якуба ліворуч. Близько 1000 лучників були на обох крилах османського війська, за ними були азапи та акинджи, а всередині — яничари, за якими з кінною охороною розташувався сам Мурад, обоз з охороною був позаду.

Сербська армія мала в центрі війська князя Лазара, Вука — праворуч та Влатка — ліворуч. Попереду сербської армії знаходилася важка кіннота, та кавалерія лучників на флангах. Позаду стояла піхота. Незважаючи на паралельне розташування обох супротивників, воно не було симетричним, оскільки сербський центр переважав османський.

Хід бою

Битва відбулася 15 червня 1389 року поблизу сучасного міста Приштина в Косові .
Війська розташувалися таким чином. Султан Мурад очолив центр свого війська, флангами командували його сини Баязід I (правий) і Якуб (лівий). Перед основними силами османського війська в лінію вишикувалися близько 1000 лучників, позаду розташовувалися азапи і акинджи, а в центрі османської побудови — яничари. Там же перебував Мурад зі своєю охороною. Невеликий загін був виділений для прикриття обозу.
Центром сербської армії командував сам князь Лазар, Вук Бранкович командував правим флангом, Влатко Вукович — лівим. По всьому фронту сербської армії розташувалася важка кіннота, на флангах — кінні лучники. За ними розташовувалися загони піхоти.
Сербські і османські джерела дають суперечливі дані про хід бою, тому реконструкція бою представляє труднощі для істориків. Битва почалася з обстрілу османськими лучниками сербських позицій і атаки сербської важкої кінноти, клином врізалися в османські позиції.
Кавалерія прорвала ліве крило османів, проте не мала успіху в центрі та на правому крилі.

Після першої атаки серби мали певну перевагу, оскільки істотно зруйнували крило османів під командуванням Якуба Челебі (Yakub Celeb). Коли атака сербів зупинилася, легка кіннота та легка піхота османів контратакувала сербів, яким важкі обладунки стали завадою. В центрі сербські воїни під проводом Владко Вуковіча відбили атаку кінноти османів, проте ця контратака змусила важку сербську кінноту відступити. Під час цієї битви Баязід І, котрий став потім султаном, за швидку контратаку отримав прізвисько «Блискавичний».
Вук Бранкович, прагнучи врятувати залишки військ, залишив поле битви. Пізніше народний поголос звинуватив його у зраді . Слідом за ним з поля бою пішли і залишки загонів Влатко Вуковича і князя Лазаря. Сам поранений Лазар потрапив у полон в ході бою і був страчений в той же день.

Смерть Мурада

Відповідно до османських історичних хронік султана Мурада І вбив Мілош Обилич, який прикинувся мертвим і вбив Мурада тоді, коли той блукав полем після битви. Проте в сербських історичних літописах Мілош Обилич убиває Мурада під час бою в таборі османів, прикинувшись дезертиром. Очевидно, що султанська варта одразу вбила Мілоша після такого вчинку.

Однак, за давнішим джерелом (лист Флорентійського сенату боснійському королю Твртку I від 20 жовтня 1389), під час бою 12 невідомих лицарів прорвались до намету Мурада й убили султана.

Мурад був єдиним султаном Османської імперії, що загинув під час бою. Баязіда, сина Мурада, одразу проінформували про смерть батька, і, оскільки битва тривала, він послав за своїм братом Якубом. Коли Якуб прибув у табір Баязіда, то його задушили, після чого Баязід успадкував султанський трон.
Могила султана Мурада досі збереглася на краю Косовського поля.

Наслідки

Косовська битва була у військовому сенсі нічиєю з важкими втратами обох сторін. Обидва лідери загинули. Держава сербів потрапила у васальну залежність від Османської імперії. А сербський нобілітет та простий народ були змушені постачати людський матеріал для османської армії.

Після битви та смерті князя Лазаря Баязід І утворив союз із сином Лазаря Стефаном. Баязід одружився з сестрою Стефана, взявши її в гарем, а сам Стефан став лояльним союзником Баязіда. Він у подальшому досить суттєво допомагав Баязіду в його військових змаганнях за Балкани.

На основі міфу повстав сербський національний Косовський міф.

Scuba Diving in Utila – Tropical Heat, Tropical Fish and Cheap Baleadas.
I'm sitting on an old, frayed, beige couch and it's full of holes. It's the kind of couch you see in frat houses or crappy dive bars. But it's comfortable, and in this case, I wouldn't be anywhere else…it's the greatest couch in the world. It's attached to a dive resort on the island of Utila, off the coast of Honduras : Underwater Vision. Cooling trade winds rush through the bar and battle the unrelenting heat that grips the island of from mid-morning to sunset.
As I sit here watching 'Ace Ventura – Pet Detective' on American cable television, I think about the last 3 days and how surreal, serene, and spectacular they have been. The bulk of my stay has been spent bouncing in between the water, the classroom, one of the local bars and my bed. I'm now a certified, PADI-recognized, Open Water Diver. Think of it like a white belt in karate. You start off learning the basics: how to not kill yourself, how to safely use the equipment, testing yourself in shallow water with fictitious dangerous situations (out of air, broken equipment, flooded mask), doing a few dives (no deeper than 18 meters) all around the beautiful coral reefs that span Honduras' Caribbean coast.
The problem with all of this: it's impossible to just do one course. As soon as you see the reefs and start diving you will want to do more, go deeper, dive shipwrecks and stir up the phosphorescent organisms on one of the amazing night dives.
I came to Utila about a week ago, and on a friend's recommendation to Underwater Vision; not the biggest dive center on the island, but they take scuba very seriously and for the hours in between your dives, they have an amazing restaurant and bar for relaxing.
You will meet phenomenal people (the best part of any trip) as all of the instructors and dive masters are also cool, young people who you will end up socializing and drinking with and ultimately, becoming friends with. They offer all the different options of PADI ranks, all the way up to the assistant instructor course (black belt) and a full range of specialty courses. Besides the amazing bar that encourages inebriated socialization, the dorms are only $5 a night (or free during the duration of your course!). Also, all over the island you will find amazing, humungous baleadas (a typical Honduran dish, consisting of a large flour tortilla, folded in half and filled with beans and various meats and vegetables.) for as little as $1.50, and local beers for the same price.
Don't think you will be eating for the rest of the day.
So I've just signed up to do my 'Advanced Underwater diver' course (yellow belt), starting tomorrow. I'll be able to go down to 30 meters, check out those wrecks and night dives, and do a whole heap of other cool dives.
- The Underwater Navigation Course where you learn navigation patterns, natural navigation (without a compass), compass navigation, underwater map making, how to judge distances underwater, among other skills.
Wreck – explore a ship wreck.
Night – leave the port at sunset and dive with a powerful flashlight.
Peak Performance Buoyancy – specialized buoyancy control techniques.
Drift – start in one location and drift to another location where the boat will collect you.
Fish Identification – learning all about the different types of fish and corals that you see.
Utila is well worth a look, especially if you're interested in learning to dive, if not for the fantastic reef (the second largest in the world), then for the fact that it's the cheapest place in the world to do your training. Open Water or Advanced Open Water courses will cost you around $260: a steal. Check them out at www.underwatervision.net and tell them World Travel Buzz sent you!

This annual feast falls on the Sunday before Easter and commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the days before his Passion, an event described in the Gospels.
All the parishes in Malta and Gozo on Palm Sunday bless the palm leaves and the olive leaves, some have parades. The parishes that have the statues of Good Friday bless the olive tree they put on the statues of "Jesus prays in the Olive Garden" and the "Betrayal of Judas" . Many Maltese take a small olive branch to their homes because it is a sacramental..


For those that might think I'm picking on Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) because of the entire natural born citizen requirement in the Constitution, I'm not. There have been many things that I have written about Cruz which I'm in agreement with, but people are going to have to deal with this issue constitutionally and rightly or in a couple of years, we may just have the very scenario I presented yesterday in our country (By the way, Cruz says to exclude Muslims from the White House would be unconstitutional). With that said, I was sent a video, in which Ted Cruz was interviewed in 2011 and in 2015 concerning birthright citizenship. In the two interviews, it appears that Cruz is completely flip flopping on his position. Could it be that it is the result of a twisted view of what natural born citizen means and thus how he applies the understanding of citizenship?
Well, the fact that Cruz claims it's in the Constitution makes it an issue with or without illegal immigrants. However, notice that he appeals to legal arguments and not to the reason and intent of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was amended to the Constitution for a certain people at a certain time, namely the people of the Confederate States of America. It should have never had any impact beyond that generation!
So wait, in 2011, Cruz claims birthright citizenship is in the Constitution and that conservatives didn't need to focus on such a thing. In 2015, he's telling us it has to end because of illegals, which is the very issue he was dealing with in 2011. Why the focus? Why the change from "it's in the Constitution" in 2011 to "as a policy matter" in 2015?
He spoke about Donald Trump bringing up the issue, but remember, Cruz has defended the Constitution, right? Yet, he told us birthright citizenship is in the Constitution in 2011 and in 2015, he addresses it as policy. Trump said it wouldn't stand up in court when he referenced deporting such illegals claiming birthright citizenship.
In the video, Cruz claims to have held to Trumps perspective "for many years" and specifically referenced 2011. Now that is just untrue. Are you going to believe what he's saying in the 2015 video or what he said in the 2011 video?
However, I ask the question, can you magically become a citizen if your father had fidelity to another nation? We know that Cruz's father and mother were on the 1974 Canadian Electors' list, according to documents obtained from Breitbart. We also know that Canadian law forbids anyone but Canadian citizens from voting. Though no evidence was discovered that Cruz's mother ever voted, we do know that his father was not only a Cuban citizen at one time, but also a Canadian citizen.
"She could vote in Canada, and it wouldn't affect her U.S. citizenship," he added.
Say what? How would that take place? See how twisted this gets people when we don't stick to the simple understanding that Vattel laid out in the Law of Nations and that our founders understood and penned in the 1790 Naturalization Act? Yeah, I know it was later changed, but the fact of the matter is that document lays out for us a clear understanding of what the founders meant by the phrase natural born citizen. Now the Fourteenth Amendment, an amendment for a specific time for a specific people, is being dragged into this mess and it's only muddying the waters.
Both Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are facing a ballot access lawsuit because of their ineligibility according to the Constitution's requirement that one be a natural born citizen.

Steven Gould's sequel to the phenomenally entertaining JUMPER is quite a different novel, also casting Davy's (the protagonist) wife, Millie, as the main character.JUMPER was about Davy Rice, a young man who can teleport at will-and the adventures/mishaps that entailed. REFLEX takes place ten years later, with Davy married to his girlfriend, Millie. Davy also does occasional 'special' work for the government, such as teleporting hostages out of danger, for which he is well compensated. When Davy is captured by a sinister group, he's shackled and behaviorally conditioned to return to the same place after he teleports. If his arm or leg is contained by another, larger object (such as chained to a wall), he's unable to teleport, so he remains their prisoner. And the things his jailers do to him are simply horrible. They also implant an explosive devise in his body so he won't dare escape.As the days and weeks go on Millie starts doing some investigation of her own-and discovers that she, too, now has the ability to teleport at will, able to be somewhere instantly as long as she has a mental picture of it in her mind. Because she'd done thousands of 'jumps' with her husband, it somehow allowed her to do the same. Millie is very practical and goes about looking for her husband in a direct way. When she finds out that the government may be involved, she radically changes her appearances and disappears from their radar. Little do they realize she has a newfound ability.What I like about this sequel is that it builds upon the first book and there's been a change in the characters. They're adults, with adult concerns, such as Millie wanting to have a baby (I can imagine that as the third novel). The whole teleportation process is explained and expanded upon. It turns out that a 'gate' forms around them-and if they could hold open the gate there's the possibility that others-and objects-can go through. This plays a large part in the ending, between the good and bad guys.I wouldn't recommend reading this book if you haven't read JUMPER, as it might be confusing. As sequels go, this is a good one.


Lately I have been thinking (dangerous I know); is the risk matrix truly useful to communicate the level of risk? For example, does a High Risk actually mean the risk is high?
When we look at the psychology of risk, you can understand management being on tenterhooks when told there is a 'High Risk here' and a 'High Risk there'. And so the automatic response is to assume that there is a very real chance that the materialisation of the risk is imminent and that the consequences will be significant.
This psychology is supported by a variety of definitions – most notably, the Cambridge Dictionary, which defines High Risk as: involving a greater than usual amount of risk.
But when is a High Risk not actually a High Risk?
In my view – more than you think.
Like every notion I have challenged in risk management (likelihood and ownership to name just two), it hit me like a ton of bricks.
I was doing some work for a water corporation and we were looking at the risk: unplanned release (loss of containment) of water from a dam. The corporation had a number of dams, and, although some were in partially built-up areas, the majority were in non-populated regions, so the overall consequence was assessed as Major.
Obviously, due to the nature of the risk, the maintenance of the dams was a significant priority. The controls were deemed to be effective (as would be expected) and the likelihood of any such catastrophic release was assessed as Rare. As a result, given the effectiveness of the controls, there was nothing more that could be done to further mitigate the risk.
The risk was, therefore rated as High. The thing is – that it could never get any lower. And there in lies the issue with the psychology associated with such a rating. Could you imagine if this was being reported by the media: Documents show High Risk of dam failure in …..
My point is that we make risk informed decisions based on the level of risk that we derive from the risk matrix and we rely heavily on that assessment – but is it a true indication of the level of risk?
In this case, we had a risk where the consequence could not be reduced and there was nothing more that could be done to reduce the likelihood, so is this really a High Risk?
I believe there is – but as they say in the classic game shows – we will come back to that after the break and I will expand on it in the next newsletter.

In review: entering the employment relationship in Cambodia
DFDL
Cambodia March 18 2021
Basics of entering into an employment relationship
i Employment relationship
The purpose of employment contracts is fundamentally to legally establish employment relationships. There are two types: a fixed duration contract (FDC) and an unfixed duration contract (UDC).
The maximum duration of an FDC is two years. It must be in writing and clearly specify the start and expiry dates. Depending on the purpose of the contract, an FDC may or may not have a clear expiry date.16 Based on the AC's majority interpretation, when the entire duration of the contractual relationship exceeds two years, whether renewed or not, the FDC will automatically convert to a UDC regardless of the parties' original intent.17
However, the MLVT issued Instruction 050, which provides that the maximum duration of an FDC (i.e., the initial term of the FDC plus any subsequent renewals, up to a maximum of two years) is contingent upon the duration of the initial FDC. In any event, it shall not exceed a maximum of four years.18 However, this interpretation is not consistent with past rulings rendered by the AC.
Unlike FDCs, UDCs are not required to be in writing. However, to ensure that the parties are aware of their rights and obligations, it is recommended that they are in writing. UDCs must meet the minimum standards set by the Labour Law (and its related regulations), otherwise they will be unenforceable. However, this does not preclude the parties from agreeing on more favourable terms.19
Certain mandatory content must be specifically included in any employment contract, such as wages, working hours and other working conditions.20 The term 'working conditions' includes those specified under the Labour Law, such as wages, working hours, night work, weekly time off, paid holidays, paid annual leave, special leave and workers recruited from outside the workplace.21
Additionally, the employer may include other necessary terms based on the business's operational needs or requirements. These terms should be added only to the extent necessary and must not contradict the mandatory terms under the Labour Law.
For matters not covered by the employment contract, the Labour Law provisions, other applicable laws and regulations will be applicable by default. Employers are not permitted to unilaterally change the terms and conditions of employment contracts; otherwise, the employee has the right to immediately terminate his or her employment contract.22 The employer should therefore notify and obtain employees' consent to amend any of the terms and conditions of employment.
ii Probationary periods
An initial probation period will apply to an employment contract, during which time an employer may determine the suitability of the relevant employee. Employment contracts can be terminated without notice during the probationary period.23 This period must not exceed three months for regular employees, two months for specialist workers and one month for non-specialist workers.24
iii Establishing a presence
A foreign company that hires employees to carry on business in Cambodia must register its establishment. To hire local employees, the foreign company must assist its local employees in obtaining their work books,25 and declare the recruitment through a declaration of staff movement to the MLVT.26 Furthermore, when a foreign national is employed to work in Cambodia, he or she must obtain a foreign work permit.27 To fulfil this requirement, the company must have a permanent establishment (taxable presence) in Cambodia and be registered with the MLVT.
Alternatively, foreign companies can enter into a service agreement to outsource employees from an agency or labour hire company. In this arrangement, the agency will be responsible for registration of the employees. However, the foreign company cannot exercise direction and supervision over these foreign employees. Similarly, the foreign company can engage an independent contractor, but must refrain from exercising direction and supervision over the independent contractor.28
If an employer substantially supervises and directs the independent contractor, the relationship between the employer and the contractor may be viewed as an employer–employee relationship, thus potentially rendering the employer responsible for all of the employer's obligations under the Labour Law.

Geschlecht in Fesseln ist ein deutsches Filmdrama von Wilhelm Dieterle aus dem Jahre 1928. Dieser Film wurde hergestellt nach einer Arbeit über die Sexualnot der Strafgefangenen von Franz Höllering und auf Grund tatsächlicher Mitteilungen von Karl Plättner, dem Verfasser des ausführlichen Buches "Eros im Zuchthaus", für das er das Material in achtjähriger Haft gesammelt hat.

Handlung
Wirtschaftskrise in Deutschland. Der Ingenieur Franz Sommer ist arbeitslos. Als seine Ehefrau Helene während ihrer Arbeit im Café von einem Gast bedrängt wird, kommt ihr Franz zu Hilfe. Im Handgemenge stürzt der Unbekannte unglücklich und stirbt ein paar Tage später, während Franz bereits in Untersuchungshaft sitzt. Franz wird daraufhin zu drei Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. Fabrikbesitzer Steinau, der mit Franz in Untersuchungshaft gesessen hat, hält sein Versprechen und kümmert sich nach seiner Freilassung um Helene Sommer. Diese hat aufgrund des Vorfalls ihren Job im Café verloren und wird nun von Steinau eingestellt, der aber bald ein größeres Interesse an ihr entwickelt. Helene wehrt sich zunächst gegen seine Avancen, genau wie Franz gegen die eines Mitgefangenen. Beide quält ein großes Verlangen nacheinander, dessen Befriedigung ihnen durch die Gefängnisleitung nicht gewährt wird. Irgendwann geben beide nach, Franz dem Mithäftling, Helene Steinau. Das schlechte Gewissen entzweit die beiden. Nach einer gefühlvollen Rede Helenes gönnt der Gefängnisdirektor dem Ehepaar eine Viertelstunde unbeobachte Zweisamkeit, die sie aber nicht mehr zu nutzen wissen können. Sie wagen keine Berührung und stehen sich nur wie versteinert gegenüber. Als Franz nach abgesessener Haft endlich entlassen wird, kehrt er erst freudig in sein altes Zuhause zurück, muss aber bald erkennen: "Jetzt könnte ich wieder gehen, wohin ich will - nur zu Dir kann ich nicht mehr!". Beide verstehen, dass die Haftstrafe ihnen mehr gestohlen hat, als nur drei Jahre gemeinsame Zeit. Ihre Schuld erlaubt ihnen kein gemeinsames Leben mehr, nur im Tod können sie wieder zusammen sein.

Hintergrund
Die Dreharbeiten erfolgten im Sommer 1928. Für die Bauten waren Max Knaake und Fritz Maurischat verantwortlich. Der Film erlebte seine Uraufführung am 24. Oktober 1928 im Tauentzienpalast in Berlin. Die Musikzusammenstellung besorgte und dirigierte Pasquale Perris.

Die Filmprüfstelle Berlin gab den Film 1928 mit geringen Schnittauflagen frei, verhängte aber ein Jugendverbot. Auf Antrag des bayerischen Innenministeriums befasste sich die Film-Oberprüfstelle erneut mit dem Film und ließ durch Entscheidung vom 16. Januar 1930 weitere 70 Meter (2–3 %) des Films mit sexuell anstößigen Szenen herausschneiden. Den Vorwurf, dass der Film das Vertrauen in die Justiz, die Strafprozessordnung und den Justizvollzug insgesamt erschüttere, teilte die Oberprüfstelle jedoch nicht. Im März 1933 wurde der Film auf Antrag der bayerischen NSDAP-Landesfilmstelle und des bayerischen Justizministeriums vollständig verboten.

Auszeichnungen
 Prädikat: Künstlerisch wertvoll

Kritiken
 Reichsfilmblatt vom 27. Oktober 1928: "Ein leidenschaftlicher Tendenzfilm, – aber mit einer Tendenz, der wir uns alle anschließen können: Es ist das ein Film, der für Liberalität und Menschenwürde, gegen Dickfelligkeit und Unduldsamkeit kämpft."

I am a huge advocate of reading with your children starting from a very young age. For me, it was even when my sons were in my tummy. When I was pregnant, I'd read the same story over and over again, right before bed. I continued reading the same book with my boys at night as soon as they were born. It was amazing to watch their facial expressions when I would read to them. It seemed as if they recognized the story and gained a sense of calm hearing the words and sounds that were familiar.
Kids start developing communication skills from the moment they're born. Newborns quickly begin to recognize important sounds in their environment, such as their parents' voices.
As they grow, babies start recognizing the sounds that form language, such as the way syllables, words, and sentences work.
As my sons have grown, our bedtime stories has been a constant routine. Most nights we can't go to bed without our family reading together. Sometimes when we've had late night family activities, our boys won't go to sleep unless we read a book.
Because of the reading culture we've built in out home, our boys, ages 5 and 7, love to read. Whether it's a physical book like their favorites Diary of A Wimpy Kid and Discovery Kids or reading apps like Reading Rainbow, our boys have developed a love for reading. Sometimes I read, sometimes they read, or other times we take turns reading. The important part is that we read together.
First 5 California website as a great resource for activities for newborns, babies, toddlers and preschoolers. There's a whole section on things that parents can do with their kids to help stimulate the mind. The experts at First 5 California refer to the brain as a muscle that needs exercise.
Talk. Read. Sing® is an initiative from First 5 California which emphasizes "working out" the brain with your little ones through talking, reading and singing regularly. New research tells us that babies form the brain connections that determine how they learn, think and grow from the moment they're born. That's why it's so important to talk, read and sing to your child every day, from day one.
I also love singing with my boys. From a very early age, my boys' grandparents would teach them cute songs with little dances. Here are my two boys singing and hamming it up for the camera!
Not only is Talk. Read. Sing® important for brain exercise for our little ones, it also allows us to build foundations of learning with our children early.
Please visit First 5 California for more suggestions on how to Talk. Read. Sing® with your children.
How do you "talk/read/sing" to your little ones on a daily basis?
