NEVER ENDING SIBLING FIGHT

God, I almost crazy by twin sibling fight of 5 years old twin boys. It seems like nothing that deserves enough things to share and play together. I wonder why it happens all the times. So, I looked for the reference to handle the problem I have. Here are the solutions I found from the book named Getting through to Your Kids by Susan Galant and Mitch gallant Ph. D.
As children grew, they may become locked into contest in which they constantly compete with each other, jockeying for position as they favored child in the family. They may provoke arguments just to see who sides you take. They may tattle and overreact to discredit their siblings. The closer in age, the more rivalrous the relationship. Maybe it can be complicated if your kids are twins. Here are some advices to handle the fight.
1. Don’t take sides. You’ll only make things worse
2. Stop the action. Get your youngster’s attention by yelling, “stop”. Don’t make weak statements like “I don’t want you to fight, OK?” Make sure that you are in charge here.
3. Leave the room. When you exit, you give your kids the space to resolve their conflict without you as their audience.
4. Call for a time out. You can’t suggest, “You’ll have to spend fives minutes apart. And then separate them into different room
5. Sends your kids into neutral and boring territory. Remember that you have to put them both, because if you don’t, it will make the other feel treat unequally.
6. Avoid treating your children identically. It doesn’t mean that you have to make the same response to different age’s kids.
7. Don’t compare your children with each other. Teach your youngsters that each of them has special gifts and talents. Let them compare their current performance with their past performances, not with those of their siblings.
8. Help your children understand what their siblings are experiencing. Youngster’s empathy toward each other can be enhanced by encouraging them to explore how their sibling’s are felling. You cant explain to your younger daughter why her prepubescent big brother has suddenly lost interesting playing with her
9. Use praise. Make sure to show your youngster your deep pleasure when they get along with each other.
Well, I hope this article is useful to you all to take care of the never ending sibling fight.

Let’s Back to Batik

Yesterday, I have a time to hanging around the mall at Lippo karawaci, Tangerang. It’s been so amazing looking at the dress that’s trend in fashion world on the retail shop. There’s a Batik here, There’s a batik there and batik again all over the Mall. Well its make me proud enough because nowadays people have already forgot about that beautiful culture heritage who already dipatenkan by Malaysia. One step behind and feel so cheated.
Batik is one of Java's famous and highly developed art traditions, batik is an important industry in many production centers in Java. It is a proof that the people of Java do love the products, long time ago created by their ancestors. Batik designed materials are clearly seen as women traditional dresses, shirts, sarongs, bags, hats, table-cloths, napkins, painting and decorative items, etc, with traditional color of brown, call sogan, indigo and blue or more colorful ones.
The tourist who visits Indonesia adore of this beautiful motif product. The motifs of Batik, especially with old pattern, as in other field of Javanese tradition are symbolizing something. Some of the motifs are :
1. Sido Mulyo :
Symbolizing 'you should be happy and rich man'.
2. Sido Dadi :
Symbolizing 'you should be a man/woman as you
3. Satrio Wibowo :
Symbolizing 'Man with dignity'.
4. Tikel Asmorodono :
It is meant the one who wears this batik, should be loved more and more by others.
5. Sidomukti, symbolizing a happiness and prosperous life. Using the same motif symbolizing the togetherness. In a wedding ceremony the bride and the bridegroom wear the same motif of batik
6. Truntum, symbolizing the advice of the parents to the newly weds to enter the new life with full of love and confidence.
Although the motif that now in the marketplace are not the old motif but at least we still love our country’s production of batik. Maybe this is the way of the cloth designer to celebrate the national awakening of Indonesia. Long Live Indonesia.

The most interesting is about how we’re teachers in Indonesia feel lucky to have a chance to talk to the Minister of Education directly. Most of us are complained about the Public Policy of The Teachers Sertification. About its selection, its compensation and some other things who had a connection with the wealthy stuffs. Not forget to talk about The National Examination for student that really really makes us so confuse and don’t know what to do. But The Minister, as usual can not make us satisfied because of the special way of bureaucrat answering public question. But it’s OK. That’s just the way they are.
