Should Parents Share a Kid's Life Online?
www.twitter.com - I was a baby once, a looong time ago. Some may argue I still act like one at times. However, I'm not dwelling on that point right now! I want to focus on an email from my friend Jim. He asks how will all of the content posted online of kids by their parents affect their future? Face it, parents post a lot of things about their children online in order to share with the World their child's great looks, the A they received on that term paper, and even their latest Crayola masterpiece. What impact could this possibly have on the kids as they themselves grow into adulthood? chris.pirillo.com - http

Parents And Kids Will Love Duvet Covers
Speaking from years of experience, being a parent is quite an adventure. Before I had a baby I thought waking up at six in the morning to go to school was tough. That was until I got married and had my daughter. I was lucky if I got five hours of sleep then. My daughter loved drinking her baby formula. I would have to wake up every two hours to bottle feed her. Not only would I have to feed her, I would also have to clean up her spills.
My baby also dirtied many diapers. Usually I changed her diapers on the bed. At times the comforter would get dirty and i would have to wash my comforter. The problem was that my comforters did not fit in the washer machine and dry cleaning was definitely out of the question. Dry cleaning was pretty expensive. I could not afford to dry clean my comforter two to three times a week. I ended up putting them away for good and just sticking with bed sheets. Thats when I came across a duvet cover. I was finally able to wash my bedding as often as needed. This piece of bedding helped a whole lot.
Now my daughter is nine years old and our comforters are always protected with duvet covers. Kids duvet covers come in so many styles and colors. My daughter gets excited every time we change her duvet set. She also loves trying to put the comforter into the cover. At first she would get frustrated but now she has become quite a pro. I do not have to worry about her bed not being fresh and clean anymore. I am a perfectionist and I always make sure that our beds stay clean. I try washing our bedding at least three times a week. This way I can rest assure knowing that her bed is not infested with dust mites.
Kids duvet covers cost just about the same as a comforter set but I can guarantee you that you will save plenty of money and comforters in the long run. Thank you for reading.

Electric Scooters Decisions For Kids And Parents
So what makes electric motor scooters a value for kids? When it comes to kids electric scooters the equation simplifies to speed: the faster the better. For concerned parents speed may be an issue. The idea of their child or teenager scooting along at 15 plus miles per hour is not an inviting prospect. However, electric scooters do not require gas, are nearly inaudible, and cheap electric scooters are easily found. What needs to be found is a compromise between the child's desire for speed and the parents assurance for scooter safety.
Parents, every scooter will display speed on the specifications chart. If you are buying a powered scooter from a retail establishment it should be on the box. If not, go online and look for the purchased brand and it should not be too difficult to find the specifications. For convenience, scooters for sale online should have speeds posted below the product. Take solace in the fact that the posted speed for a given scooter be dramatically influenced by rider weight, terrain, and motor power. For example, many kids electric scooters are limited to a top speed of 15mph but more than likely will not see 10mph with a rider. Manufacturers list the maximum speed for a given scooter and do not take significant variables, such as rider weight and terrain, into account. As far as reliability, scooters are highly durable with differences residing in components. Think of a bike when purchasing your fist scooter. They all are made of durable metal but one may have wider tires, disc over pad brakes, slimmer seat etc. The same applies to scooters, they all come in different shapes and forms. You can pay upwards of $1500.00 for your scooter or as low as a $80.00 it depends on what you are looking for and your wallet can afford.
How can the information above be good news for kids? The simple answer is modifications. When both the parents and son or daughter feel as though they need more power, usually kids outgrow their current scooter rapidly, scooter upgrades can be a great project. There are many ways to increase speed through weight reduction and motor swapping that will increase speed. This can be a win-win for parents and kids alike. Kids can learn the mechanics of their scooters while disassembling it with a parent. Motor swapping and battery upgrades are easy enough to interchange and can be an exciting parent-child project.
The question of what do you ultimately buy depends on the age of your child. For younger children smaller cheap electric scooters, like the X-10, is an excellent starter scooter. X-Treme, the manufacturer of the X-10, offer scooters for a wide range of electric scooters. Razor is a well know, but usually pricier option, that also offers beginner and mid-line scooters.
