If you want to teach your child how to use a computer, there are a few simple steps you can take.
Konan’s not old enough yet — all he wants to do is bang on the keyboard — but if your child is, my articles for eHow outline it for you. Start with the first link before moving on to the second, which builds on the lessons:

When your child is young, it’s the best time to teach him a new language. Their minds are like sponges, ready to learn as much as they can.
I’d actually like to teach Konan two languages, besides English… Spanish and French.
Here’s how you can teach your child Spanish or Korean, from my articles for eHow:
And, if he’s having trouble with English but seems creative, maybe he’d learn better with right brain phonics:

Today Konan went for his first official swimming lesson. He’s had a few off-the-cuff sessions, and lots of flutterboard time, at the health club pool, but this was the first with a teacher directing all the action.
While he usually loves the water, he cried nearly all the way through this.
Why? Probably reasons that are similar to the ones we all have when we balk at getting out of our comfort zones.
He was afraid.
There was a lot of commotion, other kids crying, and a strange teacher holding him that he’d never met before.
A brand new situation, and for a little guy that’s not even 10 months old, that’s pretty scary!
And as his mother, part of me certainly wanted to protect him, take him away, and comfort him. But instead we kept on, and I encouraged and applauded him.
That’s because I’m sure he’ll stop the tears once he gets used to the lessons, which happen nearly every day for the next two weeks.
And then he, like all of us who face our fears, will have a new, rewarding experience and personal growth under his belt.
And that’s just priceless!

10 years ago, I met and interviewed a woman for the first of several times…
Her name is Diane Dupuy, and she’s an amazing example of forging through life, no matter what roadblocks stand in the way, and turning seemingly impossible dreams into reality.
Not just her own dreams… but those of people who would normally never be given a chance.
So what do they do? Make their own opportunities.

It’s no secret that I’ve had a lot of pets in my time.
I used to have a lot of rodents — hamsters, gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, and a chinchilla — and rabbits (which are not rodents)… and then it was cats. Yup, I’ve still got a cat and a hamster.
And sometimes it’s fun to make your own stuff for the animals, just like making gifts for the family… especially since buying them ready-made can be pretty pricey.
I just wrote several articles for eHow that tell you how to make some necessities, and fun things, for your pets:

I love making my own things, but I don’t always have time. I know, I know, you probably don’t either… but homemade arts and crafts, or even furniture, can make some really special and unique gifts, especially for kids.
They also give you a sense of accomplishment, and remind the recipient how much you care.
My articles on eHow tell you how to make a few cool things:

This is something I didn’t even think about until I started researching this article assignment… but building an online business isn’t the only way to sell products and services in this economy. People are making good money creating books of memories for others.
It’s not really leveraging your time, but it is possible to charge a pretty penny for these services. And if you’re gonna trade time for money, you might as well make some good money!
My article is on eHow to get you started:
