What do video games and table top games have in common? Both leisure activities provide an opportunity for family fun. Adults use the opportunity of playing games as a time to bond, or better relate with their children and grandchildren. Cooperative strategical games, like puzzles, Sudoku and Chess have educational benefits, while family friendly, age-appropriate video games are entertaining.

While some video games are educational and entertaining, there are some detrimental effects of video games that cannot be ignored. The amount of violence depends of the type of video; however, a significant number of video games include violence. Violent video games cause more aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Tibi

Children and teens play violent video games at a time when they should be learning healthy ways to relate to other people and to resolve conflicts peacefully.

Repetitive strain injury may result from video gaming, such as eyestrain, wrist, neck, back pain, and poor posture may develop.

Addictive behavior is created by a high level of quick gratification, constant reward, and the ease of easily being able to start over again if defeat is experienced. Addiction to video gaming causes lack of interest in other recreational options, stress related agitation and irritability.

Inactivity is another effect of video gaming. Excessive video playing may decrease social time with friends, and family, sports activity, and contribute to childhood obesity.

It is critical for parents, and educators to understand how to maximize their benefits while minimizing potential harms. Parents can limit the amount of time as well as the types of games their children play. An alternative is Table Top Games, which provides quality leisure time for the whole family.

Table top games games are available for everyone, from young children to the elderly and all can enjoy and participate.

These games foster the ability to focus, and lengthen your child's attention span by encouraging the completion of an exciting, enjoyable game. Strategic thinking and skill determines success.
They also provide opportunity to satisfy competitive urges and the desire to master new skills. Playing merely reflects character traits, while the game activity gives feedback on these traits, which is crucial to leading a successful social and academic life.

Table top games are great for all ages. They provide an opportunity for members of the whole family to spend quality time together. Whether you team up in pairs or play the games with three other individuals, it is an opportunity to tell jokes, share stories, and simply have fun.

While video games may have their pros and cons, Table Top Games are a sure fire winner for everyone.

During the holiday season time can be elusive but it is one of the best Christmas gifts of all. Quality time that is meaningful and enjoyable to both the parent and child is priceless.

Christmas Blogging
Create a new family tradition of blogging. It provides the opportunity to keep in touch with family that is far away and spend time connecting with children. Write about family events/activities, family news, humor, and recipes or create a story. Family bonding will flourish by having an interactive family communication center where everyone can see and comment on others remarks. Photos can be organized easily and seen without downloading, printed or saved. A Blog takes almost no time to set up and is one of the traditions that can continue throughout the year.

Tibi

Christmas Baking
Everyone can help make a festive gingerbread house, chocolate chip cookies or homemade chocolate candy. Visit the neighbors and bring them some of the cookies you made as a family. Enjoy baking but just don't have the time? Use frozen cookie dough rather than baking your own from scratch.

The Simple Gaming Tradition
Be a kid again and enjoy playing games with your children. Games and puzzles are great ways to bond with your child. Uninterrupted time with your children, without any outside noise such as a TV is very valuable. Playing together is a good way to get to know your child. Emphasize playing just for the fun of it, and be a good sport because children model what they see.

Christmas Scrap Booking
Capture Christmas memories and keepsakes by taking lots of pictures for scrap booking. Scrap booking is another activity that can bring the family together in a memorable way. Your child can choose the theme, for example, What I Enjoy Most About Christmas or Christmas Is____. In addition to photos, include journal entries, luggage tags, quotes and jokes, invitations, letters and cards.

Your child may enjoy creating the scrapbook throughout the holiday season, or collecting everything first and assembling later. Scrap booking is a wonderful way to help you connect with your child over shared experiences.

While Christmas Traditions require you to do things together, other ideas just let you be together. During the hustle and bustle of the holiday make the most of waiting time and daily routines. For example, if your child enjoys singing, sing songs in the car when you are running errands. Instead of being frustrated by traffic, this is also the perfect opportunity to start a conversation with your child. While waiting at the car repair shop, read a book together. Take advantage of waiting time and routine activities by interacting with your child in fun and creative ways.

Celebrating family traditions helps build and strengthen the bond with your child. Christmas traditions are a great way to solidify family bonds and encourage the true spirit or meaning of the holidays. Whether it is once-a-year events or simple, more frequent simple events like an evening walk a shared tradition is a special family time.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Lovely Chartreuse, an intimidating color to wear but when done right can be a tasteful hue to prance around in! This rich sophisticated color is a mixture of green and yellow and has made a gracious come back appearing on the Spring 2011 runway shows.

Many designers featured chartreuse pieces in their collections, and I could not be more excited as I have had a crush on this color ever since I was 5 years old, and I began to pick out my own outfits. An example of some designers featuring this color from the Spring 2011 shows include, Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, Tibi and Elise Overland.

Tibi

One thing glaringly obvious to me is chartreuse tends to compliment a large variety of shades and skin tones. I'm a brunette with a pale olive complexion, and I simply adore this color on me. Many of today's A-list celebrities have been spotted wearing chartreuse on the red carpet.

As a fashion editor who has spent the past 5 years in major magazines discovering and identifying fashion trends, it is my belief that chartreuse colored garments will be one of the headlining color trends for Spring 2011.

Take an adventure this season and invest in a chartreuse piece, whether it's a top, dress, or handbag.
You can find your favorite styles on various online clothing sites.

If it seems too risky to wear a full on dress in this color, you can always go for a print that has splashes of chartreuse. This way you are working the trend without losing your confidence.

So don't be intimated by Chartreuse, take a chance and venture into this unknown territory of chartreuse hues!

Here Comes Chartreuse for Spring 2011!

Getting into high heels for the first time and looking the part isn't something that can come easily to most women. If the first time you put them on is an evening you expect to look good sashaying forth fashionably on the dance floor at an office party, you could find yourself in a bit of a spot trying for success pulling it off like an old hand (an old foot?). But heels don't need to be such a challenge; if you know how to go about them.

For your first time in heels, you need to plan ahead for the event and know what to shop for. Your wobbly sense of balance on heels for the first time is best helped by shoes that offer you plenty of ankle support. The ankles are usually the wobbliest part of the balance when they are perched high up on heels. What you need is a pair of shoes that gives you a pretty well-wrapped ankle - to offer strength and support when the wobbles seem to get out of control. Lots of strong straps around the ankles should be what you need to look for. While this does protect you in the event, you couldn't possibly want to take a risk trying out your new high-heeled skills for the first time, out on an important date. What you need is to put them on in test drive mode - to rehearse as it were; and the best place to do that would be at the supermarket. You have plenty of shelves and your cart to use as grab handles should your heels try to give way. Starting out on anything, baby steps are what everyone tells you need to take. Baby steps are supposed to help you find your balance before you can actually soar.

Tibi

It's not infrequently that you see women on the street with high heels shoes on taking this advice rather too literally: you'll see them moving forward in scared little baby steps. The "baby steps"advice is meant for how high the heels should probably be when you first try them on. Once you do have a pair on, you'll need to consider a bolder stride. The more steps you take with your high heels on, the more likely you'll be to trip. Walking in high heels is an act of active faith in yourself; you're supposed to more or less stride. Now when your heels are high, your hips try reflexively to even the balance out, pushing themselves forward. Your whole posture changes in a way you might not even realize; to balance out the way your heels try to take you forward, try consciously changing the way you stand so that you lay yourself back a little bit. And you could do that even as you walk. You could also adopt a slightly wider stance for a little more balance. Your walk needs to be striding and sashaying; that's what brings to life out in you.

For the safest first-time experience with high heel shoes, try to go no higher than 3 1/2 inches; you'll often get the same styles as in is the more vertiginous shoes. If you don't wish to compromise on your health, how about trying a pair that achieve the height you are after through a bit of a platform? I love the 0 Charles David and Daniback Paley wedge heels that are strong, give you the comfort of cork, and depend on the platform style to raise your heel. That's always best for balance for a first-timer. Genuine strappy high heels that keep your ankles braced with beautiful straps for extra safety in a pair of true high heels, you'll find in the 0 Tibi Flavias. They are black, they show off a lot of your ankles and your toes, and the wide ankle straps keep you safe and well-supported. For super-stylish high heels that are cheaper, extremely well-made and and sexier than anything you've seen, try the 5 Report Signature Randolphs. The beautiful leather and the stitching are quite out of this world; and the conical wineglass-like heel has attitude.

Life doesn't get any better when you have ways to ensconce your toes in some truly beautiful leather that has craftsmanship and attitude. And if you can do that without sacrificing on your safety, that's all for the better.
