- It Is Imperative That Parents Engage In Play With Their Children
By: Ruth Hillen | - From baby to toddler to preschool and beyond, a child imitates and practises real life situations. Play is how children learn. They learn about the world around them. They process cause and effect.
In problem solving they explore how they can manipulate variables to create different solutions. Children use all senses: taste, hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, movement. How parents interact with children in the process of play is crucial. Sound communication skills are vital.

- Having Trouble Solving Problems?
By: Roseanna Leaton | - When one wishes to solve a problem it is very easy to get tied up in the nuts and bolts of the problem itself and in this way miss out on seeing the overall picture.

- Stress Relief: Take Up Cog-knitting
By: Valery Satterwhite | - Granny may be on to something that our comparatively inexperienced presence may not be aware of. We often run to Granny for her sage, sometimes cryptic, wisdom. And Grannies knit. Are the two related? Would we be well served by picking up a pair of knitting needles and a skein or two of yarn? Perhaps, through knitting, we are really weaving together deeper levels of consciousness and self-awareness disguised as a misshapen turtleneck sweater. In other words, do we find relief for the monkey ...

Your answer could reside in the computer. A computer game can capture their attention, and a good computer ...

- Broke Or Poor? One Is Temporary And One Is Forever
By: Judy H. Wright | - Flat Broke. Wow, that is not a good place to be Right now, it seems to be a popular place inhabited by lots of nice people who didn't ask or deserve to be there.
But it is a place, and you can move from one place to another place. Broke means having no money to spend (right now), totally bankrupt and insolvent (right now).
To be broke is to me the opposite of resilient, or flexible. Broken can be mended and frequently is better and stronger than before.

- Things That Block Creativity
By: Creatinnvo | - 1. Prejudice. The older we get, the more preconceived ideas we have about things. These preconceptions often prevent us from seeing beyond what we already know or believe to be possible.
2. Functional fixation. Sometimes we begin to see an object only in terms of its name rather in terms of what it can do. Thus, we see a mop only as a device for cleaning a floor, and do not think that it might be useful for clearing cobwebs from the ceiling, washing the car, doing aerobic exer ...

Another part frightens the rest of us. Inside we all have a community of bullies, sweethearts and creative geniuses.

- Your Creativity Quotient - How To Boost It
By: Steve Gillman | - We don't have a precisely-numbered measure of your "creativity quotient," yet, like we have for your intelligence quotient, or "IQ." But tests which do try to measure your creative ability generally look at three criteria. These are the quantity of your ideas, their originality, and the possible usefulness or "quality" of those ideas. With that in mind, here are some techniques for doing better in all three areas.

- House Training Your Kitty
By: Kathrynn Kelley | - Cats are relatively easy to housebreak - most of the time. However, there is always the exception to the rule, the little kitty rebel who refuses to conform to the structure of society, albeit it is a severely limited society consisting of you, the rest of the family, other pets and the house that you share with your cat. Still, this is his society and if he gets it into his little kitty mind to rebel, it will be a challenge to convince him to conform. Let's face it, when you go head to head wit ...

- Problem Solving 101 - Challenge Assumptions
By: Steve Gillman | - Creative problem solving is about finding the solutions that might normally get missed. Why are they overlooked?

An example will help here, but first a question: Have you ever been in Los Angeles traffic? I have been in bumper-to-bumper traffic, trying to get to th ...

The root of the problem isn't that the client doesn't have the money and it isn't that the client isn't willing to pay you what you are worth.
