New House Pet

Here is one of children's activities where they can learn to handle responsibilities.

I'll be writing about my son Joshua's activity with Steven, his new yellow pet chick.

Saturday - May 31, 2008

Last Saturday while we were shopping for materials that we can use for the uniforms of my college kids, we stumbled upon a vendor who was selling multi-colored chicks and quail birds. Ten pesos for the chicks and 2 pesos for the quail birds.

Joshua was looking at the chicks and was fascinated with the colors. Imagine chicks colored green, red and yellow. He really wants to have one of the colored ones. I told him that if we get one, he has to take care of it and it is not like a toy that you can put away if you don't like to play with it anymore.

I told him to think about it before we get one. But after awhile, it got me thinking, isn't it better if we get one and look how he reacts to it. Will he take care of it? Will he have the patience to do it? Will it teach him about responsibility? Will he learn things by taking care of it?

Yes, we got one chick. Joshua named him Steven Wigmore, Steven for short.


I'll give updates on how Joshua and Steven are doing in the next few days.

My Joshua's Corner of the Web

I'm starting a blog for the kids. Actually my son Joshua, a six year old kid, inspired me to do this. His grandpa gave him a laptop computer as a gift. Joshua kept on bugging him about using his computer so that one day he brought one for the little guy.

Since then, Joshua has been surfing the web. He's surfing You-tube, Cartoon Network and many other sites. I'm now trying to keep-up with him that I have to make sure that he doesn't go to sites he is not suppose to go to. He has his own collection of songs now and uses I-tunes to listen to it. His bookmarks has a long list of sites and this is the only way I can monitor what sites he visits.

I'll be posting sites that are kid-friendly and hopefully you can use the sites for your kids too. I believe that we should encourage our kids to use computers early in life, but we should be there to guide them. And this is my way of helping parents to monitor and even help their kids get around or surf the net or web.

Happy surfing kiddos.
