Travel Info: Friday’s Resort, Boracay, Aklan, Philippines

Friday’s Resort, Boracay, managed by Australians and Filipinos, was opened in 1986 and is undoubtedly the loveliest resort in Boracay. It enjoys the privilege of being in the best area of the island, the extreme north of White Beach where the beach is widest. You can make the most of your stay in this idyllic side of the island and yet be near the center of activity.

The resort is built in a dense coconut grove. You can at times see the trees growing out of ceilings and stairways! Masses of greenery and flower beds outlined with pebbles surround the cottages. The architecture is inspired by the local style using natural materials like bamboo for walls and cogon for rooftops. Elegance and simplicity are artfully combined in a unique style.

The rooms are in bamboo cottages painted in stained green. Set in two floors, these are linked by an exterior staircase with wide terraces or balconies provided with mattresses and hammocks. The spacious Premier Rooms along the sea are on either side of the reception area. Direct access to the beach and its turquoise waters is no doubt a plus point. The Deluxe Rooms are set back from the beach right in the middle of the coconut grove; some look out onto a swimming pool. Their interiors and terraces are smaller than the Premier Rooms, but they are comfortable enough for three persons.

The rooms are tastefully decorated, blending modern comfort and tradition with artful mastery. The parquet floor, shutters and furniture are made of a fine tropical wood while the walls and ceiling are covered with panels of braided wicker. The warm colors blend into a harmonious palette with touches of bold colors — like colored throw pillows on immaculate white bedcovers. However, note that the white Deluxe Rooms are more simply furnished.

The restaurant on the beach is very elegant and pleasant, with comfortable wicker armchairs and white tablecloths on tables adorned with flowers. Besides the casual menu, you may discover other dishes during the peak season as a themed menu is introduced during this period. You can stay on the beach and have a drink while admiring the unforgettable Boracay sunset.

A bulletin board displays the resort’s activities for the day.

How to get there:

By air , land and sea, 55-minute daily flights on PAL or Cebu Pacific from Manila to Kalibo, 90 minutes by air-conditioned bus on Southwest Tours from Kalibo airport to Caticlan Jetty Port. Departures depend on flight schedules. 25 minutes by banca from Caticlan Jetty port to the resort.

Handling Children's Feelings in Public Places

We live in a society that has a demanding and judgmental attitude toward parents and young children. Often, the attitude toward children in public is that they should be seen and not heard, that the parent should be “in control” of the child’s behavior, and that children who are having feelings in public are a nuisance. In short, children are not really welcome. Their freshness, curiosity, and frank expressions of feelings are not seen as a gift.

In addition, the childrearing tradition that has been handed down to most of us sets us against our children when their behavior isn’t convenient for adults. Others expect us to criticize, use harsh words, punish, isolate, shame, threaten, or physically attack a child who is “misbehaving.” No parent really wants to act like an adversary to the child he loves. We treat our beloved children in these ways when we can’t think of anything else to do, or when we fear the disapproval of others.
You can learn to predict your child’s emotional moments

There are certain situations in which young children often become emotionally charged. These situations include:

* Being with several people: with the whole family at dinner, at a family gathering, a meeting, a birthday party, the grocery store, church, or temple.

* Moving from one activity to another: leaving home for day care, leaving day care for home, stopping play for dinner, going to bed.

* Being with a parent who is under stress: the parent is cooking, cleaning, shopping, trying to finish a task on time, and is upset because there’s so little help.

* At the end of any especially close or fun-filled time: after a trip to the park, after a good friend leaves, after wrestling, chasing and laughing with Mom or Dad.

When children become emotionally charged, they can’t think. They simply can’t function normally. They become rigid and unreasonable in what they want, and are unsatisfied with your attempts to give them what they want. They can’t listen, and the slightest thing brings them to tears or tantrums. Their minds are full of upset. They can’t get out of that state without your help.

The help your child needs at this time is to have you set kind, sensible limits, and then for you to listen while he bursts out with the intense feelings he has. This spilling of feelings, together with your kind attention and patience, is the most effective way to speed your child’s return to his sensible, loving self. A good, vigorous tantrum, or a hearty, deeply felt cry will clear your child’s mind of the emotion that was driving him “off track” and will enable him to relax again and make the best of the situation he is in.

“Do I have to listen to a screaming, flailing child in the middle of the supermarket?”

Several adjustments of our expectations are necessary before we can let ourselves to be on our children’s side as they do what they need to do in a public place.

* We need to remember that every good child falls apart often in public places. This is, for some reason, the way children are built!

* We need to remember that our society has trained people to disapprove of children doing what is healthy and natural. People disapprove of horseplay, of noise, of exuberance, of too much laughter, of tantrums, of crying, of children asking for the attention they need. This disapproval is out of line. Children are good, and their needs are important, including the need to offload bad feelings.

* We need to decide that, as parents, it’s our job to treat our child well. When other adults criticize him, it makes sense to do what we can to be on our child’s side. If a child doesn’t have his parent to protect him from harm, who will?

* We need to realize that being parents means that we will have to advocate for our children in many settings: with doctors and nurses, with teaches, with relatives, and with strangers.

* Finally, we need to acknowledge that children legitimately need far more attention than it is comfortable to give. Adults who gave less attention to their own children, or who got little attention themselves as children, will be upset when they see you giving undivided attention to your child. We can expect these upsets, but we don’t have to be governed by them.

“OK, but what do I do when my child falls apart in the supermarket aisle, or at the grandparents’ house?”

* Spend one-on-one time with your child before you take him to a public place, so that you and he are connected with each other before heading into a challenging situation. Then, stay connected. Use eye contact, touch, your voice, and short spurts of attention to keep him in the orbit of your love. This contact is deeply reassuring, and can sometimes defuse situations that your child often finds difficult.

* When you see an upset brewing, make contact right away. See if you can find a way to play, so that your child can laugh. Laughter relieves children’s tensions, and allows them to feel more and more connected. If, when you make contact, your child begins to cry or tantrum, do what you can to allow him to continue. His upset will heal if the feelings are allowed to drain.

* Slow down the action, and listen. If getting into the car seat has triggered tears, then stay there, seat belt not yet done, and let the tears flow. Listen until he is done. Because of this cry, your whole day, and his, will improve.

* If necessary, move to a more socially acceptable place. Go to the back bedroom, or move your grocery cart out the exit to the sidewalk. Do this as calmly as you can. Your child isn’t doing anything wrong. It’s sort of like a car alarm going off accidentally—loud, but not harmful to anyone. These things happen!

* Plan what you will say to people who express their opinions or concern. It’s hard to come up with a comment that says, “We’re OK—don’t worry!” in the middle of wild things happening, so think ahead. You can adopt some phrase like, “We seem to be having technical difficulties,” or, “My daughter really knows how to wail!” or, “It’s that kind of a day!” or, “After he’s finished, it’s my turn!” or simply, “We’re OK. I don’t think this will last all day.” A comment like this reassures others, and gives the message that you are in charge.

As one parent I know put it, “I’ve finally figured out that it’s my job to set a limit when he’s going “nuts,” and it’s his job to get the bad feelings out. As I listen to him, people might not be able to tell that I’m doing my job and he’s doing his, but at least I know that’s what’s going on.”

Fighting children's future...

We are aware that children is the successor for the next generation. Right? We also know that as guardians and as parents they need us to guide and eventually educate them to become a better and productive citizens. Right? So, it is therefore clear that as guardians and parents we are task to raised them up despite the problems that we commonly encounter such poverty. Basically, poverty is not a hindrance to fulfill our dreams for them. Poverty only depends to each an everyone of us. Every single problems in this world has its corresponding reasons why God permitted us to experience. Because of that we need to find ways and means in order to give our children a brighter tomorrow. Poverty is not a reason to stop but eventually its a reason to never stop and exert more efforts to go beyond.

Anyhow, the other aspect that we need to look up is the health conditions of our children. As guardians and parents, we need to be responsive on their needs and wants. Though its not possible to give them everything they want but at least we do our part to support all their needs particularly on their health. Its too bad to think that their were children who were not given a great importance by their parents. And its too mad to think that their were children who are victims on malpractice on medicine. Specifically, they are those children whose parents could not afford to send their sick child to a certified Doctors or Surgeons. Because of that, as one nation and if you are concern on your fellow people specially for those young innocent children it is possible to live save their lives. In what ways? Well, if you knew who were those people who are performing an illegal operations you can submit them to the city officials particularly to the Department of Health. Those acts should not be condemn! They must be pay the law of land and the law God. Its good to save life but saving life through practice is not good anymore!

In fact, one of the most common illness that a child has is a cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders associated with developmental brain injuries that occur during fetal development, birth, or shortly after birth. This common illness is not new already. There were several cases on this that has been solve and yet others are not. There are also cases that cerebral palsy operations turns to be an injury. For that, if you are those people who do have this type of cases that the cerebral palsy of your innocent child has been injured you can consult to a reliable cerebral palsy lawyers or Texas truck accident attorney who specializes both incidents that will definitely help you out to solve your issues. Don’t be afraid to voice out! Its your right to find the justice that you want for your injured child. By never condemning the injured operation of your child will also teach those Doctors who believes that they new everything on the said field. Aside from that, that will also give a lessons for them to be careful on handling an operations. All in all, as guardians and as parents, we need to exert more efforts for the benefit of our children.

How Can Teachers and Families Work Together?

To work well with families and help young children learn, teachers need to know several things. The following skills are ones that parents can look for in their child's teacher. These are also skills that parents can help teachers learn. Teachers need to know:

* About families—who they are and what they want for their young child.
* How to involve families in their young child's learning.
* How to talk with families.
* How to support families in helping their young child learn at home.
* How to involve families in the classroom and school.
* How to support families' interests and needs.
* How to share decision making with families.
* Respect and value different cultures.

Research on how teachers learn to work with families shows good examples of families and teachers as partners and the important role that families play. For example, in an early childhood center in Napa, California where the preschool teachers are mostly non-Hispanic and the families are mostly Hispanic, the teachers invited the families to the center to learn from them about their culture and their goals for their young children. In this way, the parents and teachers helped each other gain important knowledge about what the families and teachers valued, how to communicate with each other, and how to work as partners.

In an early childhood center in Fort Worth, Texas, teachers and other staff members have helped busy parents save time and have more time to spend with their young children. Parents can drop off their dry cleaning at the center when they bring their children there in the morning. They can also buy snacks for the ride home when picking their children up in the evenings. Many of these time-saving ideas came from parents who returned a survey about what they needed help with most from the child care center.

School Success for Your Child

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 helps to ensure that all children receive a high-quality education and holds schools responsible for making sure that all children are learning. The information below is consistent with this important law.

This brochure includes information on things you can do at home and at school to help your child be a more successful student, including tips for parents of students with disabilities.
Background

Every child has the power to succeed in school and in life, and every parent, family member and caregiver can help. The question is: How can we help our children succeed?

We know, for example, that children tend to follow their parents' example. Children watch what we say and do. Parents are truly their children's first teachers, and this role lasts a lifetime. When we show our children that we value education, it gives them a powerful model for success. At home, we can take steps to support our children's education. Also, research shows that when parents and families are involved in their children's schools, the children are more likely to succeed.
What You Can Do at Home

As a parent or caregiver, no one cares more about your child's education than you. Get involved in your child's education at home. Here are simple tips that may be useful to you:

* Encourage Your Child to Read. It's the single most important thing you can do to help your child succeed in school. Read aloud to your baby right from the start, and make reading together part of your daily routine.

* Encourage Healthy Habits. Research shows that regular sleeping times, good eating habits and physical exercise are critical for student success.

* Monitor Homework, TV Viewing, Computer Use and Video Game Playing. Have a special place and regular time for your child to study, and check to see if your child needs help. Set limits on time spent watching TV, using the computer and playing video games.

* Encourage Your Child to Be Responsible and to Work on His Own. Help your child choose activities that build knowledge, responsibility and independence, and be aware of his activities after school, in the evenings and on weekends.

* Communicate With Your Child. Have daily conversations with your child about his or her school day.

* Praise Your Child. Provide consistent, encouraging words to help motivate young children.

Working With Teachers And Schools

Learn everything you can about your child's school. You know your child best and understand her needs. Ask for a school handbook and read it over. Ask the principal and teachers about the school's expectations of your child and how it will prepare your child to succeed in life. Visit the school's Web site for more information. Ask for information in your native language.

Talk with your child's teacher early and often—and start talking right at the beginning of the school year. Contact the teacher immediately if you notice a change in your child's behavior or school performance or if your child doesn't understand an assignment. If you don't understand a school rule or the teacher's assignments, set up a meeting to talk about the issue.

Stay involved in your child's school activities. Attend school events. Go to sports events, back- to-school nights and parent-teacher meetings. Volunteer in your school.

Tips for Parents of Students With Disabilities

When a child is having a reading or language problem, the reason might be simple to understand or it might require extra help. Some children may have a learning disability.

If you think your child may have some kind of learning problem, get help quickly. Talk with your child's teacher or principal. By law, schools must provide special help to children with disabilities. By: U.S. Department of Education - Education.com
