A Special Breakfast For Father's Day
Celebrating
Father's Day without his favorite dishes would just be meaningless and uninteresting. Making him delighted with some great dishes is the best gift that you can give to your father on Father's Day.
Start off the day with a roller coaster breakfast and see the wonder you can create with this. It's also easy to prepare.
Ingredients:Eggs – 6
Milk – 1 cup
Flour – 1 cup
Melted butter -- 2 table spoon
Powdered sugar
Salt -- 1/2 tea spoon
Direction:Preheat the oven to 450 degree. Beat the eggs and mix it with flour properly. Add salt, milk, and melted butter. Take a 9x13” pan, butter it well and put it into the freezer for 10 minutes. Keep the mixture aside and leave it undisturbed for some time. After 10 minutes pour the mixture into the cold pan and bake it for 20 minute; then lower the temperature to 350 degrees. Cook it for 10 more minutes. Sprinkle sugar powder on it and serve it with butter.

Canada day Wishes
Canada Day is an opportunity to gather in our communities, from coast to coast to coast, and to proudly celebrate all we have in common. It is an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, which were born in the audacious vision and shared values of our ancestors, and which are voiced in nearly all of the languages of the world through the contribution of new Canadians.
Canada Day is a time to celebrate the heritage passed down to us through the works of our authors, poets, artists and performers. It is a time to rejoice in the discoveries of our scientific researchers, in the success of our entrepreneurs, and to commemorate our history — a history in which each new chapter reveals itself to be more touching, more fascinating than the last.
As we look ahead, we have every reason to face the future with confidence and enthusiasm.
Let's celebrate Canada!

hereTalk to your daughter about the Earth and about its natural resources. Together, see if you can describe your version of the perfect Earth or write down your wishes for the future of our planet.
Plant a small garden in a plot of land or a window box together. If you plant herbs, you can watch them grow. Then, when the herbs are fully grown, you can pick them and use them in a meal you cook together.
Make messages of kindness together. Write down messages or kind thoughts about different members of your family and hide them around the house for members of your family to find. You will be teaching your daughter the impact that unsolicited kind words and thoughts can have.
Help your daughter read and understand newspaper headlines. Ask her to pick a news story that is interesting to her. Talk to her about the article she chose. It could be a great opportunity to open her eyes to world affairs.
Go on an adventure walk or hike with your daughter. Count how many animals or insects you see. Look for spider webs, bird nests, or anthills. See if you or your daughter can name the plants you see during your walk.
Create a collage of memories of your family. Gather old photos or birthday cards and other memorable items and paste them together on poster board. Ask your daughter if she remembers all of the events. Talk about your favorite times together.
Read a story aloud to each other. Change your voice to match each character in the story.
With your daughter’s guidance, you can learn that you are not too old for sidewalk chalk. Go outside and decorate your driveway or walkway. With sidewalk chalk, the sky is the limit. You can write a little story or draw a beautiful picture. You can also play games like tic-tac-toe or hangman. Your daughter might like your willingness to act like a kid again!
Take your daughter with you to work. Show her what you do from day to day. Introduce her to all of your friends and coworkers. Give her a job to do, like organizing one of your desk drawers or your desk area. Maybe she could alphabetize your list of clients or other work contacts. At the end of the day, ask her what she thought about her day at work. See how different her perspective of work is than yours.
Arrange a community sports event together. Whether your daughter’s favorite sport is basketball, teeball, kickball, or swimming, invite others (kids and grownups) from your neighborhood to join in the fun. Make sure to mix the teams up so that there are kids and grownups on each team!
Stargaze with your daughter. Look for the North Star, the Big Dipper, and the Little Dipper. Tell your daughter about space travel. Imagine what it would be like to walk on the moon.
Listen to your daughter’s favorite music with her. Ask her why she likes the bands and artists she likes. Learn the words to the songs that she listens to and ask her what they mean to her. Talk about the music you listened to when you were her age. What was popular then compared to what is popular now?
Pretend that you have gone back in time. For one day, avoid using most of today’s modern conveniences. See if you can get around without driving the car by biking or walking everywhere you go. Try not to turn on the TV or the radio. Try cooking without using a microwave. See if you can eat dinner by candlelight. Maybe you can even make your own loaf of bread instead of buying one from the supermarket. When the day is over, reflect on the day and talk about how much we rely on modern technology. Talk about how many of these appliances you had when you were growing up.
Take your daughter with you to get the oil changed or ask her to help you out when you do it. Talk about the importance of car safety and maintenance. This might not sound like a fun thing to your daughter, but showing her this when she is young and reinforcing it through the years increases the chances that she will practice car safety and be more aware of car maintenance.
Take a trip to your hometown. Show her the house you grew up in. Tell her what it was like in the neighborhood, and describe a typical day in the life of a 10-year-old you. Ask her if she sees any similarities in what you did when you were her age.
Volunteer for an event together. Do a stream cleanup or tree planting project together. Check your local or community newspaper for listings of volunteer activities. This will teach your daughter the rewards of volunteering and the importance of community.
Help your daughter start a lemonade stand or a bake sale. Start from scratch— have her apply for a loan from you, buy the supplies, determine prices and a good location for her business, design the poster board to advertise her business, and create business cards. When the day is over and the “shop” is closed, after she has paid you back for the loan, see if she has made a profit. This can be an excellent (and penalty-free) exercise in money management and business.
Visit your local library together. Pick out books on topics that you and she are not quite sure you are interested in and explore them. The best thing about libraries is that the books and the knowledge are free! If she didn’t like the book or the topic, just return it! No questions asked. This is a great way to explore ideas and learn about topics without spending a ton of money.

What Children wants From Their Dads

Young children often seem to just accept things the way they are. But by four or five, children are starting to think for themselves about whom and what they are, and they are also starting to think about their parents in a different way. This may be partly because starting school brings them into contact with many different people and new ways of seeing things. At this age, children start to be much more aware of their own wishes and needs, and their growing independence also shows in them getting firmer views about what they expect of their parents.
But what do children of this age really want from their parents? What do they want them to be; friends, helpers, role models, providers, comforters, judges, counsellors, cooks, taxi drivers or just to be there for them?
When I started building the ‘Best Dad, Best Mum’ materials and 2005 series survey, I thought that I had better find out what research had been done into what five-year-old children say they want their parents to be. So I did all the right things, I did a literature search, I asked around my colleagues and I Googled. So what did I find? Would you believe me if I said ‘nothing’? Because that is indeed what I found. Although lots of research has been done into what children need from their parents to support their development, and a lot of research has been done into what is harmful for children, there was a resounding silence from children themselves. Somehow, no-one has yet thought of systematically finding out what children themselves want in the way of parenting.
Perhaps our Child of Our Time survey, ‘Best Dad, Best Mum’, is going to launch a new line of research in this area. At the time of writing this essay, the results are already beginning to look interesting. Looking at the results across all age ranges, and there have been over one thousand responses so far, ‘being there for me’ and being ‘trusted’ are the most important features of both mums and dads alike. It is also important for mums to ‘comfort and hug’ whereas it is more important for dads to ‘talk with me’.
But there are also differences emerging between children of different ages as well as differences between boys’ and girls’ expectations. What about the children closest in age to our CooT children?
4-year-olds most want dads to play and talk with them, while they most want mums to be there for them and comfort them.
5-year-olds want dads to be there for them and to praise them, while they want mums still to comfort them, but also to be trusted.
6-year-olds still want dads to be there for them, but also to earn money, and although they also want mums to be there for them and still to be trusted, they also want praise from them.
Although boys in this age range are not as interested as girls are in mums comforting them, they are even keener than girls on mums being there for them, reading to them and being clever.
When it comes to dads, boys seem more interested in dads mucking about, being trusted and reading to them than girls do. Girls, though, put dads comforting them, giving them nice food and treats as more important features than do boys.
So, already by this age, children are beginning to develop different expectations of male and female parents. But perhaps it is important also to stress the similarities. The differences between ages, and between boys and girls are not astronomical. What all the young children share, is a wish for parents to be emotionally close and involved with them. One way of putting this, even if it is in more adult terms, is that children want to feel secure in their relationships with their parents. Particular things seem to express closeness for children: things like being comforted, being read to and, to use a modern phrase, ‘being there for them’.
