A very popular way to determine the sex is by using a needle and a piece of thread or preferably the mothers hair. In order for this technique to work an individual will need a very steady hand, hang the needle over the top of the mothers stomach. Leave it there are a few seconds and place close attention to the way the needle moves. If it is moving in a back and forth pattern then it is a boy, a circular motion would indicate a girl is on the way.

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

There was an announcement in school about an event that was about to take place. Students were asked to get parental permission before the event. Only if the parent's allowed their kids, would they be able to go. All the children were hoping that they get the permission without any hassles. They all were free to go home after this announcement. David went home. The first thing he asked his mother when he entered into the house was, “Mom can I go to the school event on Saturday” His mom looked confused. She asked him for details. He told her everything. She asked him to freshen up and eat something first. But David was very inquisitive to know. She told him that she would discuss it with his father in the evening and let him know. He requested her to convince his father. She asked David's father when he got home from work. He asked his wife to make a decision, since she was more involved in David's school matters. He had an important meeting to prepare for, so he got busy with that after dinner. David went to his mother and asked her again, she told him he could go.

What Makes A Child Happy?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

What makes a child happy? The same things that make many of us happy, a sense of achievement!

Happiness comes from feeling secure and safe, from knowing that the people around you care about your needs and what to see you do well. At Guests Martial Arts we help children become happy children, sure we care about their Martial Arts training but also about how they are going at school and at home.

A child that achieves goals and is supported by the adults around them has a much greater chance of succeeding as an adult, of getting into better schools and being able to shape their lives rather than not having the chance to do so through poor decisions early on.

Martial arts is such a great activity for a person of any age , it has a built in goal setting system through working hard to achieve your next belt along with a great long term goal of achieving a Black Belt with their name on it!

Recently we graded a 10 year old boy to junior Black Belt and it was quite an achievement. Now you might be thinking , a 10 year old a Black Belt, but lets look at it this way. It took nearly 5 years training and about 700 lessons to get there. Along the way he passed 18 gradings and learned a wide range of skills including basic acrobatics. Also at only 10 years old he has been training for half his life in martial art’s!

On the day mum and dad took photos, his whole family came along for support and at the end of it all we were really proud to be able to present him with his Black Belt.

If you would like to know more about what we do and how martial arts can help your child please visit our website www.guestsmartialarts.com.au for more information

Playing With A Toy Tea Set

Monday, July 26th, 2010

If you want to buy one toy for more than one child to use at the same time, can be difficult, especially if they are of different ages. But the Fisher Price musical tea set can be your solution. My children are 2, 5 and 7 years old and they all love it. It was the most inspired Christmas gift ever. The youngest loves to pour, mix, simply handle the cups and spoons, while the oldest creates a fantastic world centered on the tea party, where she is the princess having tea with her younger sisters, waiting for her knight in shining armor. The amazing thing is they don’t get bored by it… they have had it for 3 years now and I still get invited to their parties. Of course, it is an honor to attend, as only queens and kings have this privilege. It’s an invitation one can never say no to, or else.a
