How Do You Feel Seeing Your Kids’ Performance?

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

I felt beyond happy seeing my daughter performed on the stage with the whole class. She looked like an angel with her pink-blue outfit. Each move she made caused me tears.

I turned to see my husband’s face, and I saw tears in his eyes.

Oh, then I thought: so, this is how my parents felt when they saw me on stage.

I remember how my Dad–whose job made him travel a lot–tried so hard to manage his schedule so that he could be there, not only for me, but for him.

So, I promised myself, I will never miss even one single performance of my kids. They need me to be there as much as I need to be there, to see them, proudly.

I’ve just read Tonya’s experience when she saw Courtney, her lovely daughter performed on a Winter Dance Program. Oh, she must be very proud of her beloved daughter.

Do you have your own experience? Care to share it here with other Moms?

Why My Kids Need a Flu Shot?

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

The answer is: Yes…

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the flu vaccine for kids who has more risk on complications from influenza, such as:

  • Kids between the ages of 6 months and 59 months
  • Kids who have a chronic medical condition, such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS or kidney disease

There are two forms of flu vaccines available:

  • The flu shot, which is approved for use in kids 6 months and older
  • The nasal spray flu vaccine (FluMist), which is approved for use in kids 2 years and older

Discuss with your doctor about which form of vaccination may be best for your kids.
