How ro raise fun and funny child

Developmental experts who've studied humor say a childhood filled with laughter and fun has benefits that last a lifetime. "A sense of humor offers a huge advantage in life," says Lawrence J. Cohen, author of Playful Parenting and a psychologist specializing in children's play. "It's one of the best ways people have figured out to cope with things that are difficult." A child who can easily tap his funny bone is more likely to make strong friendships, be well-liked by peers, and as an adult get along with colleagues at work, manage frustration, diffuse conflict, and suffer less from depression. A sense of humor is also linked to intelligence, self-esteem, creativity, and problem solving.

What's more, humor offers parents rare insight into their children's cognitive development. As humor expert Paul McGhee points out, humor is a form of intellectual play. In infants, laughter is initially stimulated by physical play (tickling, raspberries, and very gentle rough-and-tumble). But as early as 6 or 7 months, when babies start to gain a clearer sense of their world and how it works, they begin taking pleasure in seeing that known world turned on its head — the very essence of humor.

When your child "gets the joke," it's a sign that he's developing significant intellectual skills. So celebrate when your infant gurgles with glee over a game of peekaboo, your 1-year-old titters madly when you sing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" in a Tweety Bird voice, your preschooler giggles wildly when you hold a shoe to your ear and say, "Hello?", or your 7-year-old pulls off his first pun.

Parents who laugh often and easily with their children understand that humor is an invaluable parenting tool, one that can be used to discipline without conflict. Moms and dads accustomed to yukking it up with their children also find it's a way to stay close.

The best part? Play and laughter, the foundations of humor, are part of our genetic makeup and preceded human language. Robert R. Provine, author of Laughter: A Scientific Investigation and a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, says the "ha-ha" sound of laughter evolved from the sound we make in physical childhood play — the panting sound of our breathing when engaged in, say, tickling and rough-and-tumble activities.

The key, says Provine, is that a baby's earliest laughter, and most humor that follows in childhood and into adulthood, is an elemental form of social bonding. It could be said that humor, a more sophisticated means to evoke giggles and guffaws, is a way to re-create that unadulterated joy of childhood laughter when we're completely engaged with another person.

Funny like me

Can humor be taught, or is it an inherited trait like left-handedness and green eyes? While some children seem to be born with a bubbly, good-natured disposition, developmental psychologists say humor can be taught. Think of it as a muscle (one no doubt near the funny bone) that needs to be strengthened and worked regularly.

So what's the secret to teaching your child to get in touch with his inner comedian? Rush out to enroll your toddler in mommy and me stand-up classes? Happily, it's more straightforward than that. If you want to have a fun and funny child, there's no better role model than you.

Being funny shouldn't be another burden to add to an already hefty parenting to-do list (8 a.m.: Make clown pancakes; 1 p.m.: Tell an elephant joke; 5 p.m.: Slip on a banana peel). You don't need to be Ellen DeGeneres to get a laugh. All you have to do is tap into your silliest self.

Fortunately, you have years to develop your act, starting with your goofiest material for your baby. Tickle her toes and sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" in a ridiculous voice. To crack up your toddler, put a shoe on your head and a hat on your foot. Pick up your 4-year-old's favorite action hero and have him announce what's on the menu for dinner.

This isn't to suggest that your household has to be Comedy Central 24/7. But there's plenty of room for playfulness. In an age when parenting can feel like such serious business, with somber advice on the perils of toilet training too late and the importance of signing up for the best preschool on time, it's worth remembering that fun and games have their place.

"Humor and fun make your household run more smoothly,"

Spencer and her kids yuk it up at the beach
says Paula Spencer, mother of four and author of Momfidence! An Oreo Never Killed Anybody and Other Secrets of Happier Parenting. "It helps kids feel more relaxed and confident and have more goodwill toward you." Plus, a funny thing happens on your way to making your child giggle. As scientists attest, laughter is infectious. Once you get your child guffawing, you'll find yourself in stitches too.

And why not have fun? You're in the parenting gig for a good 18 years. Your family might as well have a few good laughs along the way.

Katy Perry - Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Cheese cake step by step...

Making Cheesecake Filling

Ingredients

• 15 graham crackers, crushed
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
•  
• 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 3/4 cup milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.

A step-by-step tutorial for making this smooth, satisfying and stylish dessert.

Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any time of year: it is creamy, elegant, and delicious whether served plain, with fruit, or with a sauce. There are countless flavors of cheesecake, but we chose to make a traditional New York-style cheesecake.

1. We used the recipe for Chantal's New York Cheesecake. It calls for four 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, softened at room temperature, 1½ cups white sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup of milk, 4 eggs, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

• Do not substitute spreadable or reduced-fat cream cheese for the solid block of cream cheese, as they are different formulations and your cheesecake might fail to set properly.

• Chantal's New York Cheesecake

2. Cream the cheese with an electric mixer until it is soft and contains no lumps. If no electric mixer is on hand, use a wooden spoon to cream the cheese.

3. Whisk the flour and sugar together to prevent flour lumps. If the recipe you are following calls for additional dry ingredients (such as salt or cocoa powder), stir them into the sugar and flour mixture as well. Pour this mixture into the cream cheese and scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to incorporate the ingredients and prevent lumps from forming.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Stir in flavorings and any other liquids. The mixer should be on a low speed to limit the amount of air incorporated into the mixture.

5. If too much air is whipped into the mixture, the cheesecake will puff up while baking and sink in the center, the texture may be grainy, and air bubbles will mar the surface of the cheesecake.

6. The texture of the finished batter should be smooth and glossy. Carefully remove the electric mixer's bowl from the mixer. Don't scrape batter on the mixer's paddle into the smooth filling: batter on the paddle and at the very bottom of the bowl may contain lumps of cream cheese. If your filling does contain lumps, you can pass it through a sieve or pulse it in a food processor to smooth the batter.

7. To add candies, chocolate pieces, or fruit to the cheesecake, fold in the garnish with a spatula or wooden spoon before pouring the mixture into the prepared pan. Pour the batter into a springform pan lined with a crumb crust, or into muffin tins lined with foil or paper liners for individual cheesecakes. To make a marble filling, pour a fruit or chocolate sauce over the cheesecake filling in a spiral pattern. Use the tip of a paring knife or a wooden skewer to pull lines out from the center like spokes on a wheel, or create a free-form swirl pattern.

8. Bake the cheesecake as directed. For instructions on baking cheesecakes in a water bath, see Baking Cheesecake, Step by Step. For more information and cheesecake recipes, see our Perfect Cheesecakes article.

An-Nur ayat 35

Allah yang menerangi langit dan bumi. Bandingan nur hidayah pertunjuk Allah (Kitab Suci Al-Quran) adalah sebagai sebuah "misykaat" yang berisi sebuah lampu; lampu itu dalam gelok kaca (gandil), gelok itu pula (jernih terang) laksana bintang yang bersinar cemerlang; lampu itu dinyalakan dengan minyak dari pokok yang banyak manfaatnya, (iaitu) pokok zaitun yang bukan sahaja disinari matahari semasa naiknya dan bukan sahaja semasa turunnya (tetapi ia sentiasa terdedah kepada matahari); hampir-hampir minyaknya itu - dengan sendirinya - memancarkan cahaya bersinar (kerana jernihnya) walaupun ia tidak disentuh api (sinaran nur hidayah yang demikian bandingannya adalah sinaran yang berganda-ganda): cahaya berlapis cahaya. Allah memimpin sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya (menurut undang-undang dan peraturanNya) kepada nur hidayahNya itu; dan Allah mengemukakan berbagai-bagai misal perbandingan untuk umat manusia; dan Allah Maha Mengetahui akan tiap-tiap sesuatu.
   
Semalam pegi dengar ceramah Dr Fatma, dia suruh / advised semua kaum perempuan untuk menghafal surah An-Nur ayat 35 nih. Benefits dia tak terhingga. Dr fatma kata suh baca ayat nih selepas sembahyang subuh atau bila bila laa sekali sehari dan tarik nafas panjang panjang. Mintak apa sahja yang kita hajati dalam hati. Insya Allah Allah akan tunaikan hajat kita dengan segala nur yang di berikan. Dan semoga Allah akan memberikan segala NurNya kepada sesiapa yang membacanya.
