The 2009 holidays are upon us. Christmas is the main day we emphasize gift giving and showing others how much we care.

The joy reflected on a child’s face when he or she receives a new toy is priceless.

We as parents, friends, or grandparents are so busy throughout the year that we do not realize all the new toys available from which to choose.

Listed below is an indication as to which toys are deemed the top 10 choices this holiday season.

1. A digital music making system lets children make their own songs just like a real music producer. They access a large selection of tracks, and special effects from an online library.  Easy to understand and use.

2. Touch Cube.  Features colored lights and an electronic touch system, modern or classic sound effects, and an internal memory.  It has a small stand upon which it sits and can be a desk accessory.  Very eye catching.

3. A headset that one can move objects by concentration!  A lightweight headset that has small sensors on the front of the head and ear lobes measures brain waves.  The ball is guided through and obstacle course via your thoughts.  The kids will love it!

4. A replica of the hero transformer Bumblebee on a helmet.  The main emphasis is a voice feature that remixes ones voice with 6 music styles, as well as, the sound of the bee changing from car, robot and back.  Kids love hearing their voice transformed!

5. A music rhythm video game that has an electronic turntable peripheral that lets gamers mix and scratch to popular mash ups like real DJ’s.

6. A new member added the the FurReal animal family.  This robotic toy is the likeness of a cuddly cat.  The sensors within allow her to purr when touched.  She can roll over, lick her paws and face, just as a real cat does.  Very lifelike.

7. A toy from the Clone Wars TV show.  Tinted visor, crest on top, 5 signature phrases from the movie, voice amplifier and changer, adjustable to fit head sizes.

8.  Pet robotic hamsters that are very realistic and interactive. They move and make hamster sounds, cooing and purring in their own play set.  Hours of fun for kids!

9. A new smart Cycle, only it has a newer more colorful style.  The premise is the same, exercise for kids while having fun.  The new cartridges feature bumpy roads, construction areas, oil slicks and graveled paths which creates a rumbling effect in the handle bars.

10. A new Wii accessory. It connects to the Wii remote controller.  It has additional sensors that respond quickly to the slightest twist, movement of the wrist or any motion, this enhances accuracy and play control.

I hope you find the list helpful when making your toy selections.

May Joy, Peace and Prosperity be with you and your family throughout this Holiday Season.

 

According to recent crime statistics 797,500 children are abducted a year. This is an incredible amount of children if you think about it. Going through the unbearable pain of losing a child due to abduction is something you would rather avoid. While there is no guarantee this is going to happen, it’s important to teach your children from a young age about certain safety measures they should be taking to avoid children abduction.

 When dealing with young children, it’s important to drill into them the importance of avoiding strangers. Children always presume a stranger is an older, scaring looking guy who might have bad intentions. Point out a whole range of adults that are strangers. Make sure that they understand the concept they shouldn’t talk or take anything from someone they don’t know. This is an important component of preventing children abduction.

If you have two or more children, create a buddy system with them. Tell your children that at no stage should any of them walk alone. If you only have one child, speak to a few other mothers and try to get a buddy system going. With it, the children should know that under no condition they can walk alone, unattended. While it’s not advisable to create alarm with your kids, make sure they understand the dangers for kids living in today’s world.

As a parent, you should also become extremely careful about where and how you treat your children. If you go to the movies or a restaurant, make sure you accompany younger children to the bathroom. People who are interested in kidnapping kids go to extremely crowded places, simply because it’s easier to get a child in and out. Escort your children until they are old enough (around twelve or thirteen).  Take your child to the nearest police station and let them take their fingerprints. This will help if your child is a victim of children abduction.

With common sense, a keen eye and communication with your kids, you can keep them safe from being abducted. If you would like to learn more, check out these 20 Golden Rules to Avoid Children Abduction at InfoZooms.com.

Your kids will hate you because they don’t understand why you are changing their world.  They will lash out at you.  They will go see a psychologist, at her request, so that they can get help with this emotionally trying time.  Also, so that she can possibly gather information that she could use against you.
