Benefits of Baby massage

This small exert about Baby massage has been taken from the Baby Massage - The calming power of touch. I used baby massage when my daughter was little to calm her after bath and before bed.
"Baby massage is an integral part of babies development. Often it helps baby settle crying, sleeping, feeding and behaviour issues. Infants need plenty of positive touch to feel secure.
Some benefits of baby massage for your baby:
  • Security
  • General well being
  • Physical growth
  • Social Skills

Benefits for parents:

  • Relaxation
  • Developing sensitivity
  • Confidence building
  • Parent-child relationship

All you need is some baby oil or lotion, a warm room, a quiet and calm atmosphere and some time to bond with your child.

Let us know your baby massage techniques.

Team Building

Playing fun games and being active and creative isn't just for kids. Groovy Games activities and equipment are very useful for adults too, particularly in the corporate sector. Many corporate business use team building activities and training to build rapour with work mates as well as trust and cooperation when working in a team environment. This type of experience is intended to encourage greater productivity in the work place and generally make for a happier and healther work place.

According to Wikipedia, the process of team building includes,
clarifying the goal, and building ownership across the team and identifying the inhibitors to teamwork and removing or overcoming them, or if they cannot be removed, mitigating their negative effect on the team.

To assess itself, a team seeks feedback to find out both:
its current strengths as a team its current weaknesses
To improve its current performance, a team uses the feedback from the team assessment in order to: identify any gap between the desired state and the actual state
design a gap-closure strategy
As well as specific activities desgined to teach team building, trust and problem solving - there are also many kids games (that are age specific) that are educational and fun that do the same thing.
