I have 4 children: 14 year old daughter, 10 year old son, 8 year old son, and 7 year old daugher. My husband and I were 18 when we had our first born straight out of high school so we have always been tight on money, hopping from job to job, and putting at kids first. This year, my husband lost his job but I still have mine. We have some saved up for emergancies for bills and food but I want to give my children at least a good christmas this year. I wish I was able to give them stuff like ipods and stuff but I feel bad for giving my oldest a fliphone for her birthday this year instead of a touch one but luckily she was trilled. They all love clothes and I find popular brands like Hollister and others from thrift shops and yard sales so they can look nice and I have bought about 2 articles of clothing for each child so far but besides that, what else can I get my 4 children that is age related for each child besides clothes on a budget of $150. Thank you!!


Answer
amazon is great. Does the 14 year old like music? Cheap band tshirts, posters, stuff like that on amazon. Art? Sketching pads and pencil sets, under 10 dollars.
If you like thrift shopping you can find great deals on stuff besides clothes, such as jewelry for the girls and legos or something for the boys.

How much sleep should a 12 year old girl have?







I'm 12 and 5ft5. I really want to grow 2-3 inches more and quite fast.
How much sleep should I have and what should I eat or drink to help. (milk and stuff)
thank youu ;)



Answer
Growth comes from genetics (family), good nutrition, healthy eating and exercise.

Children ages 10 to 12 need a little over 9 hours of shuteye a night. But it's up to parents to judge the exact amount of rest their children need and see that they're in bed in time for sufficient sleep.

Lack of sleep for kids can cause irritable or hyper types of behavior and can also make a condition like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) worse

You need to eat healthy ~ If the body, especially a growing body, needs to be well nourished in order to grow to its full potential. If any nutrients are missing for any length of time, the body goes into a 'survival mode' ~ the brain is saved first, then the heart and organs, then the rest of the body in varying degrees.
It will not stay in a 'growth' mode unless it is very healthy.

So, in order to keep growing, every day you will need to eat~

Dairy ~ calcium for bones, plus Vitamin D to make the calcium work.
Protein ~ lean meats (beef, chicken. fish), peanuts, peanut butter
Fruits ~ not sugary fruit juices
Vegetables ~ both dark green and yellow
Breads ~ whole grains best, brown rice (if it is white or enriched be careful)
Drink plenty of fluids, water is best...limit pop and sugary drinks ~ check labels if more than 10 sugars pass it up.
Exercise ~ run, walk, bike ride if you use the legs they will become strong and will grow.

Whether you will grow 2 more inches or more depends on many things, but you have the best chance if you eat right and exercise at least 3 times a week.
