Top 10 Helpful Tips for Moving with Kids
Moving houses can be a busy and hectic process. Most families face the prospect of moving more than once in their lives. The process may not only be disruptive for the parents, but also, quite daunting for little kids who may not fathom the reasons behind such a decision. They would, at many times, resist having to move and wonder why they have to leave their old friends and lifestyle behind for a completely new unfamiliar one. This is why kids need time and extra attention during this transition phase. You need to guide and help them so that they can move peacefully without any stress or negative feelings.
How to Discuss Moving with Kids
Kids usually thrive on routine and familiarity, so a sudden change would definitely rock their comfort. Talk about the move as much as possible, truthfully answer any questions they may have with patience, and accept both negative as well as positive reactions. If the move is due to you wanting an improvement in your family’s lifestyle, sometimes kids will be too young to understand this. In such a case, it will be up to you to explain to the best of your ability. You can actively involve your kids in house-hunting, looking for new schools or exploring the new neighbourhood. This will make the sudden change feel less forced onto them and more like a group activity. If the move is far away from your current location, you can also spend time with them looking up details and pictures of your new house, area, state, pin code etc. online.
Tips for Moving With Toddlers and Preschoolers
Although kids younger than 6 are easier to handle during moving as they are too young to understand what changes are taking place, it still needs to be handled with care. Here are a few tips to make the process of moving house with a toddler easier and stress-free:
Give simple and clear explanations.
Try not to discard the furniture in your toddler’s old bedroom. Hold on to it and arrange it in his new bedroom in a similar way. Familiarity breeds comfort.
Make sure to explain to your toddler when you pack his clothes and toys that you are not throwing anything away.
Make a move a fun story for your child. You can also use furniture and toys to act it out for him.
When you are moving, try not to introduce any other big changes in your toddler’s life, like potty training or transitioning him from a crib to the bed.
Arrange a babysitter to be with your toddler during the day of the move.
If your new house is vacant and nearby, visit it a few times before the move, and each time, place some of your child’s toys there so that they will welcome him when he enters.
Tips for Moving With School-age Children
Whether you are moving nearby to a new house or moving abroad with a child, for the child, it’s still a big move all the same. Elementary school going children (age 5 to 8 years) may be relatively open to the move, but will still need consideration through the process.
1. Ask for Help with Regard to the Kids
You’re going to need lots of time to pack, so ask a friend or a family member to help entertain your kids when you pack. This can give you the time you need to focus on shifting and also help keep your kids distracted so that they don’t feel lonely seeing all the flurry around the house.
2. Involve Your Kids With the Move
In all the work of packing and talking with the movers, it’s easy to overlook your kids. Make sure you keep them involved from start to finish by giving them a choice of the colour to repaint the walls or making a game out of packing their own possessions. This will help them be cheerful and feel included.
3. Have a Goodbye Party
Host a small party for your child’s friends so that they can properly say goodbye to each other and get closure from leaving their friends and family behind. You can also host another party once your new house is set up.
4. Keep the New Place Familiar
Minimize changes in your new house by setting up your kid’s bedrooms in the same way as the old house and arranging for the same morning routines. Try to keep things like 'Sunday Movie Night' or 'Saturday Pizza Night' constant so that your child can be eased into the transition.
5. Visit the New Neighbourhood Before Moving
If possible, take your children along to explore the new surroundings before you move there. You can greet new neighbours together, visit the new school and even have a walking tour downtown. Make sure to check what activities your kids can take part in, like visiting a sports club or a nearby park with them.
6. Pack a Special Bag for Moving Day
Some children don’t want to be separated from their toys for even a week, so help them pack a special ‘Moving Day’ bag in advance which contains everything they want to keep close. Explain that you’re doing this as it takes a week or more for boxes to be unpacked in the new house. You can even pack a special surprise like a snack or a new toy in their bag for when they arrive.
These tips will ensure that your children will not feel overwhelmed with all the new changes associated with moving houses. Good luck!

पहली बार मां बनने के बाद कैसे रखें खुद का ख्याल. . . .
पहली बार मां बनने का एहसास जितना सुखद होता है यह एक मां ही समझ सकती है एक नन्ही सी जान को जब हाथों से स्पर्श करते है उससे बेहतर कुछ हो ही नहीं सकता है पर यह एहसास जिंदगी में अपने साथ साथ बहुत सारे परिवर्तन भी लेकर आता है जिनमें से कुछ मुख्य शारीरिक औऱ मानसिक भी होते है आज यहां मैं इन्हीं से सम्बन्धित कुछ बातें आप सभी को बताना चाहती हूँ
पहली बार मां बनने के बाद शरीर में होने वाले कुछ शारीरिक परिवर्तन होते है जैसे शरीर में ढीलापन, त्वचा मेें सूखापन आदि ।
इनसे परेशान होने की वजह अगर सही समय पर ध्यान दिया जाये तब हम इनसे आसानी से निपट सकतेे है । मैं यह नहीं कह रही हूँ की इन समस्याओं से पूरी तरह छुुुुटकारा मिल जायेगा पर सही तरीके से किये गये उपाय बहुत ज्यादा राहत देेेते है ।
मैं भी एक मां हूँ मेरा सिजेरियन आपरेशन हुआ था मुझे डिलीवरी के बाद कुछ परेशानियों का सामना करना पड़ा था । इस वजह से मेरी हालत बहुत खराब हो गई थी जरा सी लापरवाही ने मुझे बहुत परेशान किया । पर कुछ समय के बाद जब सब कुछ ठीक होने लगा फिर जब अपने पर ध्यान देना शुरू किया तब सब ठीक हो गया ।
आप सभी को अपना ये अनुभव इसलिए बता रही हूँ की आप लोग ऐसी गलती ना करें ।
तो आइए जानते है मांं बनने के बाद किस तरह से रखे अपना ख्याल. . . . . .
शरीर की गर्म रखें -
डिलीवरी के बाद हमारा शरीर बहुत कमजोर हो जाता है शरीर में पानी औऱ खूून दोनों की बहुत कमी हो जाती है शरीर खुला हुुआ होता है ऐसे मेें शरीर को गर्म रखना बेहद जरूरी होता है ठंड शरीर को बहुत ज्यादा परेशान करती है चाहे वह ठंडी चीजें हो या ठंडी हवा । इसलिये शरीर को गर्म रखना बेहद जरूरी है इनके साथ-साथ गर्म कपड़े पहनना और विशेेषकर सिर को ढककर रखना जरूरी है ।
अच्छा पोषणयुक्त भोजन करें -
इस समय ऐसा भोजन करना चाहिए जिससे शरीर में गर्म आहट रहे ।इस समय पर गर्म पानी, दूूूध, गुड़, घी
मेवों का हलवा ( हरीरा ) , मूगं दाल, भोजन मेें लहसुन का अधिक प्रयोग, अण्डे , आदि का सेेेवन करना लाभदायक रहता है एक विशेष बात जिसका ख्याल रखना बेेहद जरूरी है आप अगर कुछ भी मीठा खाना चाहतें है तो उसमें गुड़़ का इस्तेमाल करें । अब आप सोचेेंगे जिनकी डिलीवरी गर्मीयों में होती है क्या उनके लिये भी यह आवश्यक है तब मैं कहूूूगीं हां बिल्कुल बस मौसम के अनुसार हमें इनके लेने की मात्रा का ध्यान रखना चाहिए ।
त्वचा और बालों का ख्याल रखें-
डिलीवरी के दौरान हॉरमोन लेवल बढ़ने के कारण बाल और त्वचा अच्छे हो जाते है पर ये थोडेे़ समय के लिये ही होता है डिलीवरी के बाद हॉरमोन लेवल घटने से बाल बहुत तेजी से झड़ते है और त्वचा भी रूखी और बेेेेजान हो जाती है इनसे परेशान होने की जरूरत नहीं है बाजार मेें बहुत सारे माइश्चराइजर और शैम्पू उपलब्ध है आप वो भी इस्तेमाल कर सकते है या फिर घरेलू उपाय भी अपना सकते है त्वचा के देखभाल के लिये मलाई बेेेसन और हल्दी अच्छे से काम करता है
बालों की देखभाल के लिये अगर उनको थोडा़ कटवा लिया जाये और उनको माइश्चराइज रखना जरूरी है जिसके लिये सरसों का तेेल एक अच्छा विकल्प है ये तेेल सिर को गर्म भी रखता है
साफ सफाई का ध्यान रखें -
इस समय पर हमें अपनी साफ सफाई का भी विशेष ध्यान रखना चाहिए जरा सी लापरवाही हमें बहुत बीमार कर सकती है शरीर के साथ-साथ अपने आसपास भी सफाई रखनी चाहिए ।अगर नार्मल डिलीवरी हुई तब नहाना आसान होता है पर अगर सिजेरियन हुआ है फिर इतनी जल्दी नार्मल होना मुश्किल होता है इसलिये जरूरी की कपड़ों को रोज बदला जाये शरीर को साफ पानी से साफ करना चाहिए ।
सकारात्मक रहे -
यह समय शरीर के लिये कठिन होता है तब ऐसे समय में हमें अपने आसपास का माहौल सकारात्मक रखना चाहिए अच्छी किताबेें पढ़ना हल्का सगींंत सुनना चाहिए ।इस समय हम ज्यादा वक्त बिस्तर पर ही गुुजारतेे है तब यह सब हमें अच्छा महसूस कराता है मेरे अनुसार इस समय को आप डायरी उठाइये और अपने इस नौ महीने के एहसास को उस पर उतार दीजीए यकीनन बहुत अच्छा महसूस करेेगेें ।
एक बात मैं आप सभी से जरूर शेेेयर करूगीं इस समय पर आप अपने चिकित्सक की सलाह पर जरूर ध्यान देें खुद के बाद एक वही होते है जो हमारे शरीर को समझ सकते है कि हमें उस वक्त पर किन चीजों की आवश्यकता होती है
यह मेरा खुद का अनुभव है जो मैं आप सभी के साथ शेयर कर रही हूँ
उम्मीद है आप सभी को मेरा यह लेेेख पंसद आयेगा।
धन्यवाद

10 Reasons Why You Should Have Travel Insurance
We spend weeks or even months planning a perfect holiday. Every aspect of the holiday is planned to the last detail. We check for customer reviews on hotels and make extensive lists of the places to visit. However, one key detail that most of us overlook or neglect is travel insurance. We either do not think it will be worth the investment or don’t have knowledge about it before leaving on the vacation.
What is Travel Insurance?
Like health insurance, travel insurance is designed to provide compensation if any emergency should arise during the travel. Travel insurance provides coverage in case of illness or health emergency such as an accident. Travel insurance also comes in handy in case you lose your baggage or your wallet and travel documents. If you are travelling for a short period of time, you will have to pay a one-time premium for the insurance before you set out. In case you'll be travelling for longer, you can choose to pay monthly premiums. The travel insurance scope and premium depend on the age of the travellers as well as the place they are travelling to.
Benefits of Having Travel Insurance
There are many benefits of having travel insurance. Indeed, some countries have a clause that makes travel insurance mandatory before you even apply for a visa. Here are ten reasons why you must get travel insurance before leaving on your next vacation.
1. Aid in Case of Medical Emergency
Most countries, especially countries in the West, have a much higher cost of medical care. Most hospitals outside the country do not accept existing health insurance coverage and most health insurance policies do not cover medical bills incurred outside the country. This is where travel insurance would step in and cover all your medical bills if the need were to arise.
2. Lost Luggage
The worst thing that can happen when you are thinking of enjoying a few stress-free days is to arrive at your destination and realise that your luggage hasn't reached yet. While the airlines might eventually be able to find your luggage, this might take a few days, if not weeks, and will definitely be a damper on your vacation. Travel insurance plays a crucial part here. You simply have to produce the necessary documents showing that your luggage has been stolen or lost and your insurance company will reimburse your expenses.
3. Lost Passport
One of the most terrifying situations is finding yourself in a foreign country and realizing that your passport has been stolen or lost. Travel insurance covers the expenses incurred due to the loss of your passport and the cost of replacing it. This can come in handy especially if you have not budgeted for the cost of the passport.
4. Delayed or Cancelled Flights
It can be disappointing to have your flight delayed, or worse, cancelled. In such a scenario, you may not even get a refund for your flight ticket. Travel insurance reimburses your flight ticket in case of cancellation and allows you to rebook your ticket on a different flight.
5. Travelling to Remote Locations
There might be no adequate medical care at remote locations which might prove stressful in case of a medical emergency. If you require medical evacuation, then travel insurance will cover the expenses incurred.
6. Pre-existing Medical Conditions
Most travel insurance plans do not cover or support medical bills incurred due to pre-existing medical conditions. However, there are some travel insurance policies which provide coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. In case you are travelling with elders who have high blood pressure, any medical emergency caused due to this disease will be covered by the insurance.
7. Daily Allowance
In case you have to be hospitalized for any medical reason, most travel insurance policies will provide a daily allowance. This can be used for communication, food, and commute while you are hospitalised. Travel insurance can be a blessing especially if the foreign country’s currency is stronger than your own.
8. Dental Emergency
A sudden dental emergency can not only be a damper on your holiday spirit, but might also run up a hefty bill. Travel insurance provides coverage for all emergency dental procedures you might need while on holiday.
9. Emergency Accommodation
In case of emergencies such as fire, earthquake, flood, storm, hurricane, or explosion, you might be forced to find additional accommodation. A good travel insurance policy will provide monetary support for this extra cost.
10. Coverage for Your Family
One of the most important aspects of travel insurance is that it also provides coverage for any family member who are dependents, such as children. You can travel peacefully knowing that in case of any illness, the cost of treatment will be covered.
Types of Travel Insurance
There are many types of travel insurance for people who fall into different groups such as:
Domestic travellers
International travellers
Individual travellers
Corporate travellers
Family travel insurance
Student travel insurance
Senior-citizen travellers
Single-trip travel
Multi-trip travel
What Does Travel Insurance Cover?
While different travel insurance plans cover different situations, there are some things that most travel insurance policies cover. Some of them include:
Medical expenses including emergency evacuation and dental care
Daily allowance in case of hospitalisation
Loss of passport or travel documents
Personal accident
Legal expenses
Trip delay or cancellation
Loss of baggage
Loss of wallet
Death and disability cover
What Might Travel Insurance Not Cover?
Some things that travel insurance plans might not cover are:
Cosmetic surgery
Participation in warfare
Illegal activities
Self-inflicted injury or harm
Non-allopathic treatments
Participation in risky sports
Tips to Choose the Best Travel Insurance Plan
While selecting a travel insurance plan, there are certain things that you must keep in mind. Do your research and clear your queries by asking other travellers or the insurance company. Some things that you must research include:
1. Company Goodwill
Knowing the company’s past record and reclamation rate can go a long way in understanding whether the company will provide the service you want.
2. Sum Insured
The total sum or principal amount for which you are insured will determine your premium. You will have to make a decision based on your travel plans and medical history.
3. Affordability
Make a budget that includes all your travel expenses and then calculate how much you can pay for the travel insurance premium. Choose one with a low premium.
4. Age
Insurance policy premiums vary on your age as well as the dependents in your family. Choose a plan that gives you a competitive rate.
5. Coverage
Read through the fine print when it comes to the coverage of your insurance plan. Not all travel insurance plans are the same and some will definitely provide better coverage than others. Do not hesitate to ask questions regarding the same.
6. Cashless Cover
One of the most important features of a good travel insurance plan is cashless coverage. It might not be possible to make arrangements for large sums of money during an emergency, and this is where a good plan will stand out.
FAQs
1. Will I Be Covered for Injuries Sustained While Participating in Any Sporting Event?
Common leisure sporting activities such as skiing and scuba diving are covered by travel insurance. However, competitive sporting activities are not covered and require special insurance.
2. Do I Need Travel Insurance If I Am Travelling Domestically?
When you're travelling within the country, there may not be many risks. However, some aspects such as loss of baggage or travel documents are still a possibility. You can choose a domestic plan that is tailor-made to your needs.
Travel insurance is a smart investment for a stress-free holiday. Find a company that provides flexible plans with a good reclamation rate. Do your due diligence before committing to any insurance plan.

A. I think it would be advisable for you to get an ultrasound done with your doctor that’s going to give you a clarity because if there is a pregnancy it would be visible at least at least that sack is visible if it’s a regular pregnancy so it would be advisable to have a test with your doctor
