Back Pain - Try to avoid it

Marcus, who is the director of muscle pain research at the New York University School of Medicine said on "The Early Show," that people seek medical advice for back pain most than for anything else.

Also, the National Institutes of Health revealed that four out of five Americans would suffer from disabling back pain during their lifetime, reports CBS News.

However, Marcus offered tips to prevent back pain:

1. Your bed does matter- The physician advised tossing and turning at night and getting rid of sagging mattress if you have one.

2. What you do in bed matters- Reading or watching television while lying down is best avoided as when you lift your head to view the screen your muscles may contract causing pain in the neck.

life insurance policy holders

Market conditions spell good news for life insurance policy holders

Homeowners often fail to review their life Insurance when searching for the cheapest mortgage deal, but with both the cost of cover and their mortgage balance having fallen, many could make substantial savings just by switching life insurance providers.

Many borrowers with repayment mortgages are unaware that to ensure there is sufficient life insurance to repay their mortgage, life insurance companies assume an average interest rate for the life of the mortgage, often around 10%.

As many borrowers have not paid anything like 10% recently, and have made overpayments, their mortgage balance may well be significantly below the amount of life insurance cover .

This gives them the opportunity to reduce the level of insurance and save money, or with the cost of life cover now cheaper and competition stiff, get the same amount or even increase their cover for the same monthly outlay.
One L&C customer recently increased their life assurance from £390,000 to £423,000 to cover their new mortgage, but managed to reduce their premium, saving themselves around £130 per month.

L&C’s Richard Morea said
The UK population is massively underinsured as a whole, so taking advantage of smaller mortgage balances and reduced premiums provides a great opportunity to make better provision for our families, without breaking the bank.

How does your child learn? Do they prefer to climb, sing or draw?

Why do some children learn to read easily at school while others prefer to climb out the window? Some children love to color within the lines, whilst others become frustrated?

One of the reasons is children have different learning styles which are dictated by their dominant sense: sight, hearing or motion.

Children who are able to use their dominant sense thrive. Children who can't may have problems meeting developmental milestones. So identifying and working with your child's learning style will help them. Learning toys are tools to help children develop skills. When chosen well they complement a natural learning style, and so help the learning process.

Which learning toy should you choose?

A child will love playing with a learning toy which complements their preferred sense. A visual child will love a building set, an auditory child a musical instrument and a kinesthetic child a trampoline. However children need to be encouraged to use their non-preferred sense and this is where learning toys really come into their own.

A Santa for These Economic Times: New book, "The Santa Story Revisited," Inspires Parents to Tell an "Expanded" Santa Story

Both memoir and how-to book, "The Santa Story Revisited" gives a clear and simple solution to the perennial dilemma of parents who wish to protect their child’s innocence. Trahan's "expanded" Santa story offers a playful perspective that allows us to play Santa with our children rather than just for them, while encouraging anonymous giving and acts of kindness.

"The Santa Story Revisited: How to Give Your Children a Santa They Will Never Outgrow" offers an expanded Santa, with all of the magic and none of the pretense. In the book, which is both memoir and how-to, author Arita Trahan presents Santa as a game—a timeless game that everyone is already playing.



Arita’s expanded Santa is also the hero of anonymous giving. This is a Santa we can emulate as well as enjoy. Children are invited to play both roles—giving secretly as Santa as well receiving from Santa. This perspective segues the child into appreciating both sides of the Santa experience and eliminates any expiration date on their enjoyment.

This is a Santa experience that works for everyone. Parents continue being anonymous givers; children learn to play Santa by secretly giving gifts and acts of kindness to family and community—adding to the gifting concept of the season. Generosity becomes more of a game than an obligation as children experience the joy that’s inherent in giving without conditions.

Arita says, “I suspect that the reason parents get so invested in playing Santa is that giving anonymously (without getting any credit) is the closest demonstration we have to unconditional love. It is deeply satisfying and lots of fun. We want our children to keep ‘believing’ so we can keep playing. The good news is that by simply including our children in the game, it never has to end.”

A companion song, "I'm Being Santa" celebrates the pay-it-forward nature of anonymous giving that Trahan presents in her book. A music video of the song is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbh45srDylc.

Here’s what "The Santa Story Revisited" does:
• It acknowledges Santa as the hero of anonymous giving and a mentor for acts of generosity.
• It presents a Santa that does not have a shelf-life, without the need for any awkward adjustments.
• It liberates all of us to celebrate Santa without the limitations that reality can impinge on our hero.
• It invites adults to participate in the expanded playfulness of the new Santa experience.
• It empowers parents as storytellers to inform and inspire their children.
• It assures parents that any other idea of Santa may co-exist alongside this expanded version.
• It helps parents guide their children through any challenging segue from the believing-in stage.
• It assists adults in valuing the Santa experience they had as children, no matter what it was.
• It presents the parent/child experience of Santa as an archetype and an important rite of passage.
• It creates a model for celebrating Santa that is less like a religion of believing and more like a game for playing.
• It encourages parents to freely create and recreate new family traditions for themselves.

WHO ARE THE AUTHORS?
Arita Trahan is mother/grandmother, actress, acting coach, and personal communication coach. She lives in Los Angeles.

Norma Eckroate has coauthored numerous books for humans and animals and has also worked extensively in television and theatre. She is a licensed practitioner at the Agape International Spiritual Center and has a Masters in Metaphysical Sciences.
