Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

Art Involvement With Your Kids

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Art had always been a big part of everybody's life. It expands critical and creative thinking. There are a lot of benefits art and craft can give. Craft can get kids working with their bare hands and think in the abstract on how they can make a certain project. Kids would learn how to put their thought into something concrete and express it through art.

Art is more stimulating than watching cartoons or even those teen-themed sitcoms. It is even better than playing video games. Arts and Crafts allow us to use our whole brainpower. Art helps kids express what they cannot express in words. Kids may develop their artistic side while getting involved in arts and crafts, while video games and electronic gadgets might just hide the true talent of a child.

Kids and arts go together easily; even a 1 year old kid can doodle if given a crayon and a paper. Real Artist are born and not made, but one can improve their skill in art. Art enhances the concept of concentration and dedication. There is never a bad art, it doesn't matter if a child cannot draw or anything, art is simply having fun, nothing beats the enjoyment art can give.

There are a lot of benefits a child can get by just engaging themselves into art, such as keeping the mind busy, as it helps them focus on a certain tasks. Also, an art promotes creative play. Art can give benefits even if they will not pursue an artistic career. By working with arts and crafts, children can improve their motor skills, which enhances their eye and hand coordination.

Art and craft festivals are one way of introducing art to kids, having them exposed to these kinds of events helps them learn. Art and craft is a combination of education and entertainment. Art and craft festivals can also strengthen family bonds. Here, families can pass the time together and at the same time have parents reinforce the link between their kids and arts.
