How do we see color? Light makes colors. All colors are in sunlight. To see red for instance the red light reflects back. The other colors are absorbed. This process of absording colors is called opaque. Window glass has no color it does not reflect or absorb color. The color passes right through it this is called transparent.
To see color with our eyes the nerves called rods they react only to white. There are also nerves called cones. They help us to see colors. When light strikes a color it reflects the light into the cones and we see color.
Colors we can make by mixing colors are yellow and blue make green. Yellow and red make orange. Red, yellow and blue make purple.

Wrong Crowd's Influence on Our Children
When we think about the wrong crowd we vision the drug dealers and the alcohol drinkers. Far be it for us to see our own children. Sometimes we are so wrapped up in accusing others we are blind sighted by the fact that our own children might be the leader of the pack. We are always making excuses why our children act the way they do and we see the other children as the bad influence.
Some children are impressed by their peers and give in to the pressure. Their peers use their insecurities to make them feel helpless and vundurable. Most children just want to fit in and if their friends are doing something then that's the shoe that fits.
The best defense a parent has is an open line of communication. Teach them about the tricks friends use to influence them. Tell them what to expect and the consquences.

Building a Ruutine
Believe it or not the dinner table is the best tool you have to family harmony. It sends a message to your children that they are part of a team, a family team all working together for a common goal. The more consistent the structure the more positive the effect. Being a viable family member is important to a child.
The more enjoyable the meal the more effective. Make dinner about sharing, conversation, good food and laughing. A time to slow down and help each member of a family feel in contact with the family putting aside the hectic life of the outside world. Family meals should be eaten at the table with every family member seated. The conversations should include every family member.
Every family member should be allowed to choose what they eat. Letting them make responsible decisions about food is a lesson about responsibilty. Compliments about their choices makes them feel confident in their decision making choices. The trick is to choose your words carefully.
Invite friends over for dinner. Friends add variety to the conversations and helps introduce variety to choices. Some family members love to impress friends may try foods they normally might turn up their nose to. Having friends over is a great time to introduce a new food.
Studies have shown that a family that shares meals continue the bond through out life and are more stable and make better choices through out life. This might be because of bonds they build in a simple thing called the dinner table.
