"I said no!" The real reason kids don't listen

It's always nice when a smarty pants scientist "discovers" an explanation to some frustrating or bizarre toddler behavior. Stuff like why they refuse to nap even though they are tired, or why they think it's okay to eat a month-old waffle from under their car seat, or, in this particular case, why they just don't listen to anything we say (over and over and over again infinity).

Like this morning:

"Aidan, put on your coat. It's cold out."

"Carolyn, please stop playing with your baby and go potty."

"Aidan, the coat. Now, please. We're late." (Me forcing him into his coat.)

"Carolyn, did you go potty yet? Put the doll down and ..." (Me dragging her into the potty.)

Now, researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder say my children are not intentionally trying to push me over the edge. What they are really doing when I think they are blatantly ignoring me is taking all my directions, helpful suggestions, and words of wisdom and filing them away in their little monkey brains until later. A lot later. Like age 13. Okay, maybe not that much later, but you get the point.

See, toddler brains don't work the way adult brains do. They can't take data from the present and use it proactively for the future. So, tiny kids neither plan for the future nor live completely in the present. Instead, they call up the past as they need it.

The example that the researcher gave was similar to what happened this morning with the winter coat and my 5 year old.

"Let's say it's cold outside and you tell your 3 year old to go get his jacket out of his bedroom and get ready to go outside," the researcher says. "You might expect the child to plan for the future, think 'okay it's cold outside so the jacket will keep me warm'." But what we suggest is that this isn't what goes on in a 3-year-old's brain. Rather, they run outside, discover that it is cold, and then retrieve the memory of where their jacket is, and then they go get it."

A better way to reason with a toddler with selective hearing?

"Somehow try to trigger this reactive function," the (obviously childless) researcher suggests. "Don't do something that requires them to plan ahead in their mind, but rather try to highlight the conflict that they are going to face. Perhaps you could say something like 'I know you don't want to take your coat now, but when you're standing in the yard shivering later, remember that you can get your coat from your bedroom."

I had to try this new approach, but I'm using a hot stove instead of a coat. Let's see if it works ...

"Aidan, please get your hand away from the hot, gas flame."

"Aidan, I know you don't want to take your hand away from the hot, gas flame, but when your hand catches fire and you get third-degree burns and I have to rush you to the hospital for four months of skin grafts, remember that Mommy told you that you should have kept your hand away from the flame. Ooops. See! Well, maybe you'll remember to trigger your reactive function next time."

Somehow, I think I'll stick to my old method and let my kids continue to ignore me.

Would this method work for you? C'mon, really?

How To Operate a Successful Jewelry Business

Turn your love for crafting jewelry into a successful home-based jewelry business.

by Rena Klingenberg

I've always loved earrings, and this love has turned into my dream career. It has also led me to great experiences and personal growth, along with a nice income. Several years ago, after two decades of buying earrings everywhere I went, I received the birthday gift that changed my life - a book called "You Can Make Your Own Earrings". I was electrified at the realization that I really could make earrings for myself!

Obsessed, I sent for dozens of jewelry supply catalogs, ordered jewelry making supplies and tools, and began turning out dozens of pairs of handcrafted earrings. I made far more earrings than I could ever wear myself, so I gave earrings to everyone I knew and kept on making more of them. It was the most addictive hobby I'd ever had!

Finally, when my earring supply reached critical mass, my husband said, "I think you're going to have to either stop making those earrings or start selling them." And so my jewelry business was born. It's been an enjoyable process that has brought me experiences I wouldn't trade for anything. Thanks to my jewelry business, I've learned new skills, created my own solutions to challenges, and met kindred spirits. (Almost) every step of the journey has been fun!

I started selling my earrings at small art and craft shows, and consigned my work to gift shops and galleries. I made a lot of mistakes, and also had some early successes.

One of my earliest lessons was that you have to make what people want to buy, not just what you like to make! I found that I could make a lot more sales by offering other pieces of jewelry to match my earrings, so I diversified and began designing bracelets, necklaces, and pendants too. And although custom orders are not my favorite work to do, they can be very profitable, so I began accepting them too.

After doing a few shows, I learned that a professional looking display can sell ten times more jewelry than just a scattering of earrings on a table cloth. In the process of making that discovery, I found out that elaborate displays are a pain to set up and take down, and require a lot of closet space to store at home! So gradually I evolved my displays to my current setup, which looks professional, is lightweight and compact to store and transport, and stays loaded with my inventory and ready to go at all times. It takes me only half an hour or so to set up and take down my booth when I do shows, and if a customer calls wanting to come to my house to look at jewelry, I can just whip out a nice display on the guest bed in only a few minutes.

Offering my customers free gift wrap increased my sales, so I provide a selection of different types of elegant pouches, boxes, and bags. This is an especially important selling point around the holidays, when people are so busy. They appreciate my beautiful complimentary gift wrap so they don't have to go home and hunt for a tiny box and wrap the jewelry themselves. I even offer to ship the gift for them if the recipient lives out of town. Anything you can do to simplify your customer's life will make them remember you the next time they need to purchase a gift! Other jewelry packaging is also important. I found that the earring cards and jewelry hang tags I designed myself give my pieces a much more professional appearance, and I print my contact info on them as well as specific information about the stones used in the jewelry.

Another crucial selling point is accepting credit cards. I found that was my ticket to really big jewelry sales and profits. People will buy more if they can put it on their Visa or MasterCard instead of shelling out the cash right then and there, and many customers don't have their checkbook with them anyway. So if you're serious about making money from your handcrafted jewelry, it's essential to accept credit cards.

I dabbled in selling my jewelry on eBay, and had some spectacular flops along with some thrilling successes. Jewelry is a very competitive niche on eBay, and success in the online auction market takes time to develop. To be a successful eBay jewelry seller you need to have a constant presence there, with at least a couple of auctions up at all times for your repeat customers to find. Clear, closeup photos of your jewelry are also crucial for eBay success.

I learned through a great deal of trial and error how to get professional-looking photographs of my jewelry. I finally figured out that my cheapie digital camera just isn't designed for close, clear pictures of jewelry, so I've mastered jewelry photography with my computer's flatbed scanner. You can get some beautifully artistic jewelry photos with a scanner, and it's a quick and simple way to get great shots for your website, auction listings, or other literature.

Home jewelry parties are one of the most profitable ways to sell handcrafted jewelry, and I spent some time figuring out how to make parties rewarding for the hostess without cutting into my profits too much. I also found that an open-house type of party with just light snacks and no party games gets the highest attendance and sells the most jewelry. And the number-one way to increase your home jewelry party profits and attendance is to have the hostess call all guests a day or two before the party to remind them about it and secure their commitment to attend.

Customers and shop owners assumed that since I was in business, I would have a website. So I learned how to build and promote my own site, how to set up a shopping cart, and how to accept online payments. A simple website design is best, so that your jewelry stands out. Although neat, flashy website features are fun to play with, you should resist the temptation to put them on your site. At best they distract visitors from your jewelry, and at worst they slow down the page's loading so that visitors on a slow Internet connection will give up and hit the back button. And most especially, do not use any background images. They make it very hard to see photos and read text. Just a plain, preferably light-colored background is best for your visitors!

I discovered that keeping my jewelry dazzlingly clean and shiny catches customers' eyes and increases the perceived value of my work, so I bought an ionic jewelry cleaner and tarnish-prevention strips and devised a tarnish-free way of storing my jewelry inventory. Now all my pieces have that spectacular "jewelry-store" sparkle!

One of the opportunities my jewelry business has brought me is teaching jewelry making workshops, which is very rewarding. However, I learned the hard way that workshops are a lot easier for me if everyone works on the same type of project at the same time, instead of each person doing a totally different thing! From jewelry workshops I discovered the market niche of providing bracelet-making birthday parties for girls, which is a fun way to spend a few hours and make some good money for your time.

I have to attribute the biggest leap in my professional development to online jewelry-making forums, where I've been immeasurably enriched by the professional information exchange and friendships. If you have any interest in operating your own jewelry business, participating in jewelry-making forums is a fun and important element of your success!

For your own jewelry business success, I encourage you to follow your artistic heart and think with your business brain. I recommend that you study jewelry trends and styles, learn everything you can about jewelry making materials, set up your business recordkeeping so that you stay organized, and concentrate on providing solutions to your customers' problems. Don't try to make all jewelry for all people; focus on your own style or niche and build a client base.

Fluffy Puffy Feather Pens

DLTK's Crafts for Kids Fluffy Puffy Feather Pens I'm not sure which my daughters like more -- making these pens or using them. Either way, it's a popular craft in our house. We make two different versions: Ribbon (shown) and Clay. Directions for both are on this page.

Sculpy Clay Pens (age 7+)

Materials:

• regular pen
• sculpy clay in two different colors that look nice together
  • they cost about $3 per package
  • 1 pkg of each of two colors (ie 2 pkgs) will make 5 or 6 pens
    
• oven
• baking tray (cookie sheet)
  
• feathers
  • to get a really poofy pen, we used an old feather boa and just snipped off a couple of inch long pieces of it. You can find these at craft stores, costume stores and sometimes even the dollar store. They're also fairly common at garage sales (old halloween costumes). A brand new one from the craft store costs about $8 and will give enough pieces for about 15 pens.
  • you can also use a few plain feathers... just keep adding them until you're happy with the look (about 5 or 6 feathers is nice)
    

Directions: remove pen from it's casing let the children use their imagination on how to use their clay. my younger daughter Kaitlyn likes to mix her colors together to give a marble effect. Just roll out a long snake of each color Put the snakes side by side roll them together. Folding the snake and roll some more Keep folding and rolling until the clay looks how you want it (if you keep doing it, the colors will totally blend to give you a new color) my older daughter Tasha likes to use one main color and then decorate it with stripes or polka dots of the second color. Make a fairly fat snake and then flatten it with your hands. Roll it very flat with a rolling pin.
make sure your rectangle is as long as your pen trim the edges so your rectangle is rectangular
place the pen (WITHOUT its casing) on the clay with the writing part sticking out. Roll the clay around the pen Trim off any excess smooth the edge by rolling the pen a couple of times Trim off the end (non writing part) a little bit.
you can make other things with the extra clay (or just make more pens) bake at 250F (about 125 C) for 10 minutes.
put a dab of glue at the end of the pen and attach a feather or a feather boa piece. flip the pen over and attach another feather boa pin (or another feather). if using feathers, continue to rotate the pen and glue feathers on until the end is covered on fluffy (4 to 6 feathers)

To make stripes or polka dots:

to make stripes make another flat piece with your complimentary color and cut off a thin piece to make polka dots pinch off a tiny piece of clay and roll it in a ball
lay out your pattern on your flattened main color piece
gently roll a couple more times to attach your pieces FLIP IT OVER! (otherwise your pattern will not show up)

Ribbon Pens (age 10+) Younger children love these pens too, but it requires hot glue to make them. They're nice gifts for babysitters or older siblings to give to younger ones.

Materials:

• regular pen with no handle or fancy bits to it (it needs to be a basic pen so you can wrap the ribbon around it)
• ribbon in a favorite color or pattern (about 2 feet... though the wider the ribbon the less you'll need)
• feathers
  • to get a really poofy pen, we used an old feather boa and just snipped off a couple of inch long pieces of it. You can find these at craft stores, costume stores and sometimes even the dollar store. They're also fairly common at garage sales (old halloween costumes). A brand new one from the craft store costs about $8 and will give enough pieces for about 15 pens.
  • you can also use a few plain feathers... just keep adding them until you're happy with the look (about 5 or 6 feathers is nice)
    
• hot glue gun
• scissors
• a friend (an adult could do it solo)
  

Directions: This project is best done with a friend -- one does the glue and the other does the wrapping. put a dab of hot glue at the end of the pen and attach your ribbon at an angle wrap the ribbon around the pen once Put another dab of hot glue on the pen and wrap again continue dabbing and wrapping until the pen is covered in ribbon Snip off the ribbon
Put a bit of extra glue and use a popsicle stick or the back of another pen to secure the ribbon really well. put a dab of glue at the end of the pen and attach a feather or a feather boa piece. flip the pen over and attach another feather boa pin (or another feather). if using feathers, continue to rotate the pen and glue feathers on until the end is covered on fluffy (4 to 6 feathers)

Packaging Turned Into Kids Toys

Fabric Flowers

I had a request for a tutorial on the fabric flowers I've made recently. I didn't realize how tricky it is to write one of these, so if I leave any important information out, let me know. These flowers are easy to make. And quick.

Materials:
templates- download here
fabric
scissors
small piece of felt in a coordinating color
needle and coordinating thread
pin back
button to be covered and small amount of fabric to cover it (or any button you choose)
fabric glue (optional)

1. Cut out the number of flowers needed as indicated on the templates in your chosen fabrics. Here I've used only one fabric, but you could mix fabrics any way you like. Cut into each flower where the dotted line indicates, optimizes flower flutterability.

2. Stack the two large flowers on top of each other.

3. Fold each of the smaller flowers in half and lay them on the larger flowers, overlapping them similar to the way I've done here.

4. With needle and thread, make small stitches at the center, through all layers, to secure the flower petals and hold everything together. Don't clip thread until after step 5.

5. Cover the button with your chosen fabric if using a fabric-covered one, then using the same thread you used in step 4, attach button to the center of the flower.

6. Cut the piece of felt in a nice rounded shape, large enough to sew the pin back onto, but not too big to show from the front of the pin. Secure the pin back on to the felt, then sew the felt to the center of the back of the flower (I blanket stitch all around the edge). I like to use a bit of fabric glue behind the felt, just because I like things permanently in place. Perhaps I've seen too many wardrobe mishaps in the world. When I can secure, I definitely secure.

7. At this point, your hands should hold a finished flower. Or, in my case, a finished "paper" flower.

If you make any flowers, would you let me know? I'd love to see them. I can't seem to stop making them.

This finished flower is the charm on "Clara", the newest bag to go up in the shop.

There are some really fun fabrics in this one. I jumped up and down when I saw the newsprint fabric, I've been looking for something like this for a year, since I found this. And speaking of great fabric, did you see all the new Japanese import fabric in at Reprodepot (scroll down the page)? They have practically all the fabric pictured here! Unfortunately, I found it after I ordered way too much of this from Cia. I'm done for now. But maybe you're not.
