Happy Earth Day

crinamorpho

”The earth is what we all have in common” there is no other option, people. We are ”stuck” here so we bettter take care of our planet earth.

The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970, when a US senator from Wisconsin organized a natonal demonstration to raise awareness about environmental issues.

More than a million species are at risk of extinction

According to some experts, we are in the midst of the planet’s sixth mass extinction, which is primarily caused by human activities.

Extinction is a natural occurrence, claiming roughly five species a day, but it’s estimated that hundreds of plant and animal species now face extinction daily.

That’s approximately 1,000 times the natural rate; by the middle of the century, 30 to 50% of all species on the planet will have vanished (www.nationalworld.com).

Climate change impacts human life

This may seem obvious, but with so much focus on the effects climate change has on habitats and the vast array of species that inhabit them, it can be easy to forget the immediate impact on human life it has too.

According to a 2018 study published in The Lancet, rising temperatures, along with an increase in the number of people living in cities and an ageing population, have resulted in a rise in heat-related mortality.

BRAȘOV

crinamorpho

Orașul Brașov a fost fondat de către Cavalerii Teutonici în anul 1211, asta înseamnă exact 811 ani în urmă.

Iubesc acest oraș, de fiecare dată când mă reîntorc acasă în Brașov sunt extrem de fericită, petrec ore în Piața sfatului pe la cafenele. Pe Republicii de asemenea, foarte populat de turiști și Brașoveni care se bucură de un pahar de vin sau un papanaș după ce au savurat o ciorba gătită în tihnă.

Ieri am fost în Brasov, azi sunt în Tilbury (Essex).

Când ați fost ultima dată în Brașov?

Tell Me About a Time When You Had to Deal With Conflict On the Job

crinamorpho

It’s your time to show them that you are the SUPERHERO of the story.


I can’t agree with the recruitment process some companies are using. With this question, the interviewer wants to understand if you are the Superman, Superwoman they need in their company.

Here are some examples


”When I started work in my previous role, I was keen (desperate) to make a positive impression. During the first team meeting I attended, I started putting forward some ideas that would help the team, but a senior member of staff kept talking over me. He was dismissive of my suggestions.
Whilst, I do not like conflict, I believe it needs to be sorted out quickly for the sake of the team (I believe it was more for his/her sake). I saw it as my responsibility to try and resolve the conflict and to build a good relationship.


HERE IS THE SUPERHERO in action. After the meeting, I went over to speak to him in private. I calmly asked him if I had done anything to upset him. I said I could not understand why he kept talking over me during the meeting. I went on to explain that I was here to help the team and that I wanted to learn from other people more experienced than me, such as himself.
The result is that he appeared shocked that I had challenged him about the conflict, and he apologized for coming across the way he had done during the meeting. He assured me it wouldn’t happen again”.


Do you wanna hire a fictional character or a human being?
This question should be rephrased or cancelled from the recruitment list of all these employers. Why should I share my past and personal experience with someone I do not know. NONSENSE.


What if, instead of asking that question, you ask the individual, what is the best way to solve a conflict?

Pure Kindness

crinamorpho

Kindness is grace.

Kindness comes from the Old English word ‘kyndnes’ meaning ‘nation’ or ‘produce, increase’. The word is further derived from the Middle English word ‘kindenes’ meaning ‘noble deeds’ or ‘courtesy’. The first recorded use of the word kindness was in the 14th century.

We are humans, and therefore, we make mistakes. We can be kind in our response to ourselves and others when those mistakes occur. This means thinking before speaking, forgiving before seeking revenge, isn’t this a verse from the bible?

Kindness is — and always will be — one of the most beautiful acts for good that exists in the entire world. But remember being kind is a choice we all make as individuals.

If you are a parent you might consider teaching your baby pure kindness from an early age. Encouraging kindness in the early grades helps children increases happiness and decreases stress. 

The book Happy Hippo and Kind Goose can be a perfect tool for your kids to understand the values of being kind, having a good friendship and happiness comes as a gift.

Child neglect

crinamorpho

If a baby is malnourished, neural cells can become weak or damaged and this can cause lowered brain function. If a child has little interaction with their caregiver, it can change how emotional and verbal pathways develop and impact their ability to learn. This may have consequences for brain functioning in later life.

Our brains develop from before birth and into adulthood

What happens in a child or young person’s life during these periods can have a significant effect on their brain development.

Positive experiences throughout childhood help to build healthy brains, while experiencing childhood trauma and abuse can harm a child’s brain development (Shonkoff et al, 2015)

Happy 2022

crinamorpho

“Kindness, kindness, kindness.

I want to make a New year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.”
― Susan Sontag

I do not believe in the famous saying ”new year, new me” you know why? Oh well, because nothing can be new about us, we are still the same we were 1 day ago, on the 31st of December. 24 hours can’t make you all new.
We are getting too excited about the 1st of January, full of ideas thinking that this year will be different in a good, better way. But wait 1 minute, HOW?


Why a new year can give us a bag full of inspiration, ideas, excitement, and a new notebook to write in!?
We do forget something, planning our year with Jesus, our God. Being more Thankful, praying more often, and writing our new plans, ideas, challenge for the new year in god’s notebook.
Let’s not disappoint ourselves with our new year, new me by trying very hard and then at the end of the year to get depressed. Be wise and smart!
Start your morning with a prayer, and coffee/tea then everything will settle down.

Peer pressure and influences

crinamorpho

Peer pressure or influence is when you do something you wouldn’t otherwise do, because you want to feel integrated and accepted by your ”friends”.

 Peer influence can be positive or negative.

Some teenagers might choose to try things they usually wouldn’t be interested in, like smoking or behaving in antisocial ways.

According to Dr B. J. Casey from the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, young children are quick and accurate in making judgments and decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they have to make decisions, mainly they are often influenced by external factors like peers.

O tânără din Budila a publicat, la Londra, o carte pentru copii

Autor: Iulian CUIBAR

Publicat la 25 august 2021

„A fost cartea pe care n-am avut-o când eram copil!”O tânără din Budila a publicat, la Londra, o carte pentru copii

http://moncojbooks.com

Crina Cojanu, o tânără de 25 de ani, care a crescut la Budila, mai oferă o lecţie de viaţă, lansând o carte pentru copii în capitala Marii Britanii, Londra.
În urmă cu şase ani, „Bună ziua, Braşov!” a mai scris despre tânăra, la acea vreme, admisă la Universitatea „Transilvania”, la Facultatea de Asistenţă Socială. Avusese o copilărie grea, într-o familie săracă, cu 8 fraţi, însă membrii unei fundaţii braşovene au ajutat-o să urmeze o cale ce avea să-i ofere un cu totul alt trai decât spălatul scărilor de bloc. „Asta făceau femeile. Tata avea opt clase, mama, două”.
După Colegiul Tehnic de Transporturi, a absolvit şi facultatea, iar apoi s-a mutat în Anglia.
În urmă cu o lună a scris cartea pentru copii „Happy Hippo and Kind Goose”, care poate fi cumpărată de pe site-ul ei, moncojbooks.com sau de pe platforma Amazon, în format Kindle.
„A fost cumpărată de câţiva oameni, atât în UK, cât şi în România. În copilărie nu am avut parte de nicio carte, iar să îmi citească părinţii, nici gând. Lucrând cu copii mici, în Londra, zi de zi le citeam din cărţile pe care ei le alegeau, de pe raft, de pe podea. Pur şi simplu îmi dădeau cartea şi se aşezau lângă mine. Cred că pe părinţi o carte îi aduce mai aproape de copiii lor, iar ce le citim celor mici, le va rămâne în minte”, povesteşte Crina Cojanu.

Mesaj pentru tinerii din familii cu posibilităţi reduse: „Nu renunţaţi la visul vostru!”
Tânăra a ajuns în 2018 în Marea Britanie, pentru a lucra la o familie acasă, având grijă de un băieţel. „Situaţia mea financiară nu mi-ar fi permis o chirie, nu mi-ar fi permis mai nimic. După trei ani, situaţia s-a schimbat. Sunt angajată, momentan lucrez adolescenţi cu dizabilităţi intelectuale. Sunt căsătorită şi, mai nou, autor. Ceea ce vreau să le transmit tinerilor care provin din familii dezavantajate este să nu renunţe la visul lor sau la educaţie. Muncind, visele devin realitate mai mult ca sigur”, spune Crina, care vrea ca în luna septembrie să vină în vizită la Braşov, pentru a dona câteva dintre cărţile ei unor copii dintr-o comunitate de romi.

Support Children’s Mental Health

crinamorpho

1. Stress Management 

Just as adults get stressed, so do young children. However, they may not have the coping strategies yet to handle it. Children may display stress through mood swings, difficulty sleeping, bedwetting or displaying signs of feeling physically unwell such as tummy aches. They may also change their behaviour and habits, becoming more clingy or sucking their thumb. 

When you see signs that your child is stressed, it is important to communicate with them on what may be the source of the problem. Firstly, identify the triggers, then help them to build a strategy towards overcoming the issue. Let them know that it is okay to be anxious or upset, and help provide vocabulary for what they are facing as well as calming techniques. I reccomend you to use pep cards.

2. Make Time for Play/ have fun with your child/ren

Routines are a source of comfort for children, so help build and maintain routines that you can adhere to consistently. Knowing what to expect helps children to feel secure and loved, whilst reinforcing good behaviour and developing positive habits such as washing hands or brushing teeth. It also removes anxieties surrounding the unknown or change. 

3. Healthy food/habits

A nutritious and balanced diet and regular exercise are essential in maintaining your child’s physical and mental health. Introducing good eating habits when they are young will continue as they grow older, and ensures that they have had the proper fuel to support their development.

4. Develop Self-esteem 

For older children in particular, issues such as popularity may impact their wellbeing and stress levels. Therefore, it is important to help them develop self-confidence, so that they can handle change and uncertainty with ease. Make sure to praise your child, celebrating their success and progress. In addition, help them understand that failure is inevitable and often beneficial, as it can help understand what to improve.

De ce este important să ne exprimăm deschis afecţiunea faţă de copii?

crinamorpho

crinamorpho's avatarCRINAMORPHO

De ceva timp mă tot gândesc la cat de importanta este afecțiunea pentru copil. Părinții joacă un rol foarte important în a dezvolta emoțional copilul.

Cred ca cel mai important este ca un copil să experimenteze, să crească într-un mediu în care iubirea necondiționată îi este oferită.

Știu familii care își exprimă afecțiunea foarte des, alții foarte rar, dar de asemenea știu și familii care nu zic copilului TE IUBESC niciodată!

De ce este important să nu fim zgârciți în a arăta afecțiunea față de copil?

  1. Stabilește o bază a conexiunii și relației dintre părinte-copil.
  2. Motivează copilul și îl face să se simtă mândru, plin de bucurie
  3. Știu că sunt prețuiți și iubiți
  4. Își poate exprima emoțiile mult mai usor, etc.
