Cycle: Heroes of today

My heroes of today does not describe a person, but several mothers. Mothers, organize the diaper events and try for yourself and your children to be role models, to show, as what is right and wrong. Allowed to make mistakes and also stand by you, because who's been a perfect mother.

And und, times then we bribe the kids with gummy bears, Bubbles or ice cream! But if worst comes to worst Planet Mama, then pack them all to busy! Take child from kindergarten – no issue, pour a glass of Malibu for nerve strengthening – a lightness, Granny Clamp for designing a perfect motto afternoon – Freestyle with 10 Points … Great Women, hopefully hear that too often!

#79: Eyecatcher

Anyone who knows my children, knows, that they have their own features. As each child for his parents. Anyone who knows my son, also knows his nickname, like PamPam, Henry 8, or Little Hercules. To improve his behavior I have read some interesting literature, had exchanges with parents and professionals. I came across a few interesting and interesting approaches. But be warned,, Children grow and learn so fast, that , what was previously a challenge – on how the cocoa must be filled exactly to the millimeter and can be drunk only ingested correct posture – is no longer an issue. Disappeared, away, like it never existed before. The cocoa is now in a “cup” only half full and sitting “normal” to be drunk. And what is normal, is defined by our society and environment?

One tip I have received and which is very effective and also appears as logical, is the demand of child eye contact – active – particularly, when things do not go as, as it parent or child wants. But among the children to learn, they perceive the other person and have the possibility to recognize, who stands before one and just wanted to do what one might.

I love my 2 Features, which reflect much of a self-, that sometimes it is bad to me as much honesty.

#78: To teach lessons

Today I had a seminar on rhetoric and argumentation and this seminar is especially student teachers to, to prepare for the lessons before students. A first paper or. a first argument was, and who are not the content of my thoughts decisive, or whether the student has prepared it good or bad content, but, that the editor has pointed out to the students after the lecture on, by ergo that the student has been included in the presentation from the beginning to the audience, he loses his speech / lecture. Something I can understand quite, anything but what I personally found objectionable, was the reply to the statement of the student “I want to teach in this way, in which I encourage my students to follow the arguments”, by referring to his years of experience, that it should indeed be, that teachers should motivate students to participate, but students are not really interested. And the more difficult the class, more difficult is the motivation and the more classic of the talk should be.

I think it's not fair, that straight away illusions and desires to be taken. The student will make his own experiences and hopefully many positives and probably much more negative, However, he should not forget, why and how he actually wrapped its way.

I have only taught adults and young adults, and each individual was different but it was common to many, that they want to learn so I could always use new methods, and then it was also desired and requires traditional and conservative to teach.

#77: To point

Today, short and concise explanations, but only because it was so striking on the weekend. A 3-year does not have to play alone without adults in the yard and it is not the task of the 6-year – unrelated – and watch the 8 year old brother, because they can not do and some want. What I do! And thus it happens nunmal, that the brother goes away with his old friend and the same 3-year stands alone, lost to … And I'm glad, that even to this day nothing has happened.

Point is my opinion.

Travel story: Family Business

Actually, Police Sergeant D. Paton since the end of December 2012 Pension in aber am Montag 08. April 2013 He was in a party with around 200 Celebrated and honored people. First of all, the safety factor was equal to that day and evening enormously high, da rund 90 % The guests present were police officers. Some even in uniform and for many ladies hearts definitely worth a second look.

The Govenor of Ontario awarded him with a certificate and countless speeches and Überreichungen recorded the image of a police officer, saw of this job as a vocation. Impressive statements, so stayed in my head and:

1. He was then accompanied police officer and an unknown English band to your first appearance in Toronto. – THE BEATLES

2. to his 40 year work anniversary had to make a new badge for the first time, because there was no. Until his retirement with 48 Years of service, there are still 45 To celebrate years of service.

3. The former director of the High School in Dunnville said, that they had their best year in high school, as Dave Paton has tried this school with her and for the children to solve the problems.

4. Every single one of his partners or his platoon appreciate him as a fair coach, Partner and friend.

5. Tim Hortons – No.. 1 Meeting place for cops – Director insists, that Dave still participates in the Voluntary Day.

I went home that night and all’ the experience, the emotions are triggered in me above all, I wish, that this spirit of a task over and it does not matter whether job, Family, Friends, Children … rather is paid for by us. We thus do not save the world peace, prevent starvation, but we can make our own little world around us better.

Travel story: I am going home

A week has passed. A week without children and a holiday, who was a family visit, full of good food, Visit and important people around us. But I'm also happy to be home, there not just wait for my children, but family, And my friends at home and that is always remarkably, how nice it is to come home.

So I'm sitting here at the airport, waiting for the boarding, hope it, that no one is sitting in front of or behind me, makes me almost unbearably flight. Had to forget about my food vorzureservieren – 1. you get it earlier 2. I can get lactose-free food – and will at worst only in Vienna a breakfast to take me. What makes me, I am looking forward. I look forward to a good Weckerl, Wholemeal or white bread, but no bread, that in reality is a toast!

Travel story: The Food Impression 1

Wer kennt Tim Hortons? I'm there every day and still do not know, what all of donuts, Cakes, Coffees … have. For many here it is a cherished tradition, that you go almost daily to Tim Hortons. People meet here, drinks his coffee – for us Austrians an allusion to, which could be coffee – decreases and a calorie-busting donuts, Cookie, Muffin, Cake, or something else in the 6 x 8 Series. It will meet friends and family there, and often works behind the counter also someone who is known.

Which one to try, and more than once, are the classic food courts. Of course, one finds mainly junk food. But what I can really recommend are New York Fries and who is courageous takes Sauces (Putin) to or seasoned with vinegar or other condiments offered. It also takes a no evil, if you umändert his burger or food. In Toronto and I have eaten at a food court my first sushi and this is almost 17 Years ago.

One thing I can recommend is to spontaneously go to a diner or restaurant, that is the way and means to meet Canada often long journeys. Yesterday we drove from Lake Erie to Simcoe, the nearest city. A larger city can be recognized, that there is a Walmart. On the way there we drove about Jarvis and there we had an impromptu lunch at a Chinese restaurant, that just made me addressed. It was sensational, tie Restaurant trouble learning, because it was already after 2 Clock was, and both cooks – certainly a couple far beyond 70 with stooping and both of Asian origin – already sat out. I got a homemade iced tea and ordered a spring roll and the house specialty “Singapoor Noodles” Pork and Sweet / sour with rice. Alone to see the cook, as she prepared the food while sitting, they cut everything and made dough and eating and her husband on the gas stove, everything cooked ready. The spring roll was much smaller, but also filled with a lot more bamboo shoots and chopped pork. The seasoning was slightly peppery and so different, as we know it. And what amazed me so in the following food no glutamate was found. The pork was not pressed but was light and flat baked, the sauce is great to. The noodles were not fat, and had mild curry peanut flavor. The meat cut into small pieces and find it no fat. And all for 20 EURO including tip and no lunch menu.

I am afraid now even before the scales at home!

Travel story: 2 Tage Canada

Not only, I the first time a week away from my 2 Children am, so it's a trip across the Pond. Canada must never be compared with the U.S., on the one hand it would you blame the people and on the other hand, it is through their membership of the Commonwealth and of bilingualism (French) a mixture of “good old europe und north america”.

The country is truly expansive, it comes and goes and goes past houses, Äckern, Wash berries dead on the roadside, Deer standing in the garden, Walmarts und Shopping Malls. Today we were at Walmart, a combination of a large Mercury, a miller with a pharmacy, Thalia und Kik. Actually amazing, that this system does not penetrated in Europe.

In the afternoon, people gather at Tim Hortons for a coffee and donuts. But the coffee is not for real coffee drinkers. I put on my tea and it is important, with bag inside the cup to order the tea. All’ this

Yesterday we had a classic BBQ and what is popular at the time, Marshmallow ist ein mit Salat Papayas. This reminds me more of a dessert salad and grilled meat I'm more of a relish and an excellent HP Sauce.

And of course I miss my kids, but it is not so bad by far, as I had feared, but is also due to, that my brother is the lion tamer and does a great job. And then tomorrow is the big party for the longest serving Police Sergeant Dave Paton … Report follows.

#76: Communication is not enough – please contact

Jobs, Projects and friends work as partnerships. If there is no communication, expectations are not communicated, then something is constantly broken. And it is the same, if it comes to writing a presentation, why is that the garbage out or accepting the friend, that …

I have not learned it today, this is “to smell” – that's what my dad used very often, a typical man / woman history – what someone wants from me. And in a functioning relationship you discuss it from, gets to know his opponent and his own limitations, but the job is a little, as with the first friends, offended at first exhilarated and death. To just one day then you will never want another. And often remains a / r insulted back. And what can we learn from? Mostly nothing, thereby are easier to master the challenges in the job, Talking with each other. Only the most is in no goals, Project plans or job descriptions.

#75: Last night a DJ saved my life

There was a time, I've bolstered my life with the job of a DJ and next to the money, it was mainly the passion for music, who made this job more than just a job.

Most of all I liked it, if I have the first disk found, which brought the guests to dance and the last songs, Despite the “Try-out match” have not borne fruit. Titanic I was always successful in small room (Sales and number of guests) as the great room. The students in the CIU clubbing with an international flavor were my first steps in the business, built the plant on a piano.

The last time I put on the birthday of a friend, and every time it itches me again and I think, now it is time again. But this is precisely the time as a theme …
