First You need to determine your SPF level Each year it seems, there is a new higher SPF, and many think you should automatically go higher. This is not necessarily the case -- although generally the higher the better. Remember Determine your skin type: Are you fair and burn easily? Then you need to choose a higher SPF (think SPF 45 and up). Are you medium toned and tan but rarely burn? Then you should be looking at least mid-ranged SPFs (30 - 45). Dark skinned? You naturally have an SPF of 4 because of the pigmentation in your skin, but that doesn't mean you should skimp on the SPF in your sunscreen. People with dark skin should choose at least an SPF of 15 - 30. Sun Protection Factor Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, is a rating system to help you determine the level of sun protection in the product you are using. Ranging from 2 to 60+, SPF is different for everybody. To determine the best level of protection for you, you need to know the amount of sun-exposure-time it takes for your skin to burn. Let's say you need ten minutes of sun exposure for the skin to turn red. If you opt for a sunscreen with a level of 2 SPF, you multiply that by your exposure time, and you get 20. That means a sunscreen with an SPF of 2 would provide you with 20 minutes of protection before you start to burn. Therefore, using an SPF of 30 would provide you with 300 minutes of protection before your skin would turn red. The higher the SPF number, the longer it will take to burn No matter what your skin type is or if you burn easily or not, you should never go without a minimum of SPF 15 …. 24 Discover More ...

Ballerinas spend hours carefully positioning their bodies into various poses, and by holding these poses, the body is able to gain flexibility and strength. Coordination comes into play not only from practicing to coordinate the body parts, but also in coordinating and choreographing movements with music. Develop Grace Grace is not a quality often mentioned these days, but most of us will agree, it is a fine attribute — who wouldn’t like to move more gracefully? The various ballet positions were designed specifically to showcase the human body at its finest. Think of the ballerina with her arms straight up — they frame her face. Ballerinas who, in real life are rather short, look tall and graceful as they flutter across the stage en pointe. Ballet class will teach your child good posture as she learns to keep her shoulders back, chin lifted and toes pointed. Excellent Form of Exercise The physical benefits provided by dance lessons are perhaps the most obvious. Dance is a great source of exercise and can help your child stay fit. It also provides some specific physical skills. Dancers are required to use their entire bodies when performing. In this way, they learn how to move and how to have control over their bodies. They have a Goal Dance lessons also help children develop some emotional and intellectual abilities. Dance requires children to work hard and apply themselves. Teachers help children learn to be disciplined; they provide a goal and teach them how to achieve it. In this way, children learn to be goal- oriented and focused. They learn what it takes to achieve something and as they challenge themselves to do so, they become more motivated. Accomplishments in dance also help children have higher self-esteem and pride in their work. Helps Kids Make Friends Rarely is ballet studied privately. Usually classes are held for groups, and the girls and boys bond with each other through the time spent together in the studio. If your child is in a ballet performance, the children will no doubt bond with each other during the rehearsals and performances in theatre. Having a common dance interest brings dancers together, and it’s an excellent way for a child to make new friends. Develops Discipline Most ballet studios are disciplined places. You won’t find lots of running and yelling, but rather children who are going through a set of long-ago developed routines of steps and positions. The process of learning these routines and coordinating them with music, then thanking your teacher and accompanist at the end of class, develops a discipline in children that will serve them well in all areas of life. 34 Discover More ...

Therefore, all organs are provided with more blood, and their bodies get rid of toxic substances. The difference in temperature between the water they swim in and the air when they get out of the pool helps make their vessels contract and relax, which leads to stronger vessels. Remember: For kids who catch colds frequently, it is recommend to train 2-3 times a week for the whole year. But don’t forget give them a break for a week after illness. Reason # 2 Makes them smarter Your child has fun splashing in water, and choosing the color and design of their floaters is fun too. It’s time to teach him how to swim, so next summer you will be more relaxed. Swimming makes their little back straight & strong, which gives them an athletic figure, since during training they train all their muscles and joints like any other sport. The child increases the ability of controlling his body which gives him better co ordination and helps him learn anything he wants better, like riding a bicycle or scat board. Remember: Swimming on their backs will make their chests stronger, and swimming on their stomach will help them have stronger backs. Croll & Cross will help kids with flat foot. Reason # 3 Makes them ready for Nursery Swimming helps kids have stronger hands and fingers, which makes them better than other kids in learning to write. So kids who know how to swim will be cleverer than other kids in writing skills. During swimming, kids learn to hold their breath, which makes them talk better than other kids. Remember: Try to make sure that kids are using their hands during their training to make them stronger, so it will help them to improve their hand skills. Reason # 4 The best for overweight kids & underweight kids. If you are worried about your kid’s extra kilograms, teaching him to swim will help a lot, since swimming is one of the sports that help burn calories. On the other hand, for kids who are underweight, swimming helps to increase their appetite, which will help them eat better and gain weight. Remember: If you want to loose the extra calories your kid eats, or increase their appetite, they need to train for not less that half an hour with a small break in the middle. Reason # 5 Ideal for Aggressive & Shy kids Some kids can’t control their feelings, so they either keep their feelings inside them and become shy, or can’t control them and become aggressive. The physical effort they do helps them be in a better mood, so they will be more obedient and will sleep better. Swimming can also help kids get rid of some major problems like controlling urination while sleeping. Remember: To help your kid get rid of stress, swimming on their back & jumps into water will help a lot. 36 Discover More ... Start Living Discover More ...
