Times are hard-hitting in late 2008 and likely to get tougher. Regardless of the financial bailout and some likely federal support for the every industry. It was a fun ride but we've lived beyond our means for quite some time, and now it's time to start paying off some of that debt.<br />
<br />
As the economy slows, firms will be taking into consideration several methods to reduce costs: cut raw material and sourcing costs, cut labour costs, cut advertising, marketing and sales costs, or perhaps all of these. In the labour cost category is something special called "your job". Here's what to think about as you try to prove your worth.<br />
<br />
Being valuable is more important than being important. It doesn't really matter where you sit in the organization in tough times, being a contributor who can be counted on to do the important work is more important than being "important". Signifying that you can help right the ship, through insights into new products or services, cutting costs or an understanding of market trends is much more valuable at this point. When you get into the lifeboat, people will want to know if you know how to handle an oar.<br />
<br />
First and foremost, make sure that you're doing your job-and doing it well. A stressful work environment often follows when business isn't good, but that shouldn't be an excuse for giving up on your duties. Ignore the rumour mill as much as you can, and focus on taking care of your responsibilities.<br />
<br />
Show up on time, or even early. Dress and groom yourself like a professional, and keep your chin up. If the rest of the office is slouching, unshaven, or sloppy, your efforts will stand out more as a good example for others. After all, you're doing your job as well as anyone, and you'd be missed if you weren't there. The better your performance, the more likely you'll get to keep doing what you do.<br />
<br />
Be visible at the right times and places. In a fast moving economy, being seen at the right places may be a career enhancer, but in a slow moving economy where cuts are likely, you need to be demonstrating your value and people need to know your name to retain you. If your great work is unnoticed or you are not connected with something important, or worse, there's no one to stand up for you in the meeting where the cuts happen, it won't matter if you are valuable. Make sure people understand what you do and how you add value.<br />
<br />
Pitch in and pull together. Now is not the time to remind the boss that you had a great idea that wasn't implemented that would have saved the company. It's also not a time to refuse to do what is necessary to succeed. As the firm gets smaller - and most firms probably will - there's still a significant amount of work to do. People who are willing to pitch in, to stretch themselves and get involved to help out, are the ones who will be retained. People who have a very narrow skill set that seemed valuable in the run-up but can't help beyond their current role will be the likely first candidates to go.<br />
<br />
Manage what you can and keep your skills up to date. In the end, there are some things you can control - what you are willing to work on, how hard you'll work, who you know and who knows you. There are also some things you can't control. Perhaps the firm should have invested in your idea, or launched that new product or service. Perhaps they should have listened to you about the northeast expansion. But all that is out of your control. If you work hard at points 1-4 and recognize the things you can control, and the things you can't, then regardless of the outcome you can hold your head high. In an economy like this, good people with good skills will end up out of work just as often as people who never added much value. Keep your skills and resume up to date. Stay active in your networks. If the worst happens, don't take it too hard. Usually it's just business, nothing personal.<br />

Parents are often concerned about the amount of sleep their child or kid is getting. Many parents worry that their child not getting enough sleep, rarely parents worry that their child is sleeping too much. As a parent you already know if your child is getting enough sleep by his/her behavior.<br />

Parents are often concerned about the amount of sleep their child or kid is getting. Many parents worry that their child not getting enough sleep, rarely parents worry that their child is sleeping too much. As a parent you already know if your child is getting enough sleep by his/her behavior.<br />
<br />
Every Body knows sleep is playing an important factor in all our lives. When we sleep, we rest and our body is able to renew its energy. Sleep is also important because of dreams. When we dream, we process all the events of daily life. Getting a good night's sleep, therefore, influences our psychological wellbeing.<br />
<br />
Sleeping well is often a result of having good sleeping practice, which parents are responsible for teaching to their children or kids.<br />
<br />
Generally Kids are full of energy. They love to play outside, run around, get dirty, jump, kick, scream, etc. It's okay though, because this is extremely normal behaviour for young people. But what keeps them going like this and feeling good and healthy is getting the proper rest.<br />
<br />
Your Children should not have to suffer from insomnia, and chances are they will not, provided that their parents keep them on a pretty disciplined sleep schedule. Kids do not need to stay up until all hours of the night, especially watching TV and eating junk food. They need to be tucked into their beds, sound asleep, allowing the natural biological process to rejuvenate their skin cells and internal organs. This is very important to their overall development process. From the time they are babies, children need much more sleep than adults, because their bodies need to become accustomed to a regular schedule, and because their brain function is still developing, as are their bodies in general. Failing to provide an adequate amount of rest can plague them with trouble sleeping for years to come.<br />
<br />
The average kid has a busy day. There's school, taking care of your pets, running around with friends, going to sports practice or other activities, and doing your homework. By the end of the day, your body needs a break. Sleep allows your body to rest for the next day.<br />
<br />
Not only is sleep necessary for your body, it's important for your brain, too. Though no one is exactly sure what work the brain does when you're asleep, some scientists think that the brain sorts through and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems while you snooze.<br />
<br />
When your body doesn't have enough hours to rest, you may feel tired or cranky, or you may be unable to think clearly. You might have a hard time following directions, or you might have an argument with a friend over something really stupid. A school assignment that's normally easy may feel impossible, or you may feel clumsy playing your favourite sport or instrument.<br />
<br />
It is quite natural that we spend a lot of time talking about how we have slept and whether our children have slept and how much. Sleeping well is often a result of having good sleeping habits, which parents are responsible for teaching to their children.<br />
<br />
<b>To solve sleeping disorder for your kids or children Education Activities INC provides why Do I Need to Sleep? Book</b>.<br />
<br />
Why Do I Need to Sleep book designed especially for kids and children. Children read about why sleep helps them and how to prepare for sleep After reading this book your kids and children will able to know that<br />
<br />
Sleep helps you grow. Sleep helps you think, listen, and work. Sleep helps you get along with others and feel good. Nightmares are bad dreams that your brain makes up. They will go away when you tell someone. Going to sleep is easy when you know how.<br />
<br />
One more reason to get enough sleep: If you don't, you may not grow as well. That's right, researchers believe too little sleep can affect growth and your immune system - which keeps you from getting sick.EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES' NEW READ-ALONG BOOK HONORED WITH TEACHERS' CHOICE AWARDtag:www.classroom20.com,2009-02-17:649749:BlogPost:2934202009-02-17T11:04:17.000ZJohn Khanhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JohnKhan
