5 iPhone Applications for Small Water-Lovers

70% of the planet is covered with water and it is important to let our children understand about its role in the life of every person. From early childhood people accept water as fun. Children adore water activities and they like to take a bath. They should not be afraid of water. And it is up to you if you are able to develop (or to keep, to be more particular) this water-loving attitude.

uSwim

First of all, the child should always feel safe in water. Mobile application uSwim was created specifically for this purpose. In the past, parents who could not afford swimming lessons would have to guess how to teach their children. Now, the uSwim application shows parents how to teach children of all ages to swim. It will direct parents the right way providing them with step-by-step instructions and videos showing the exercises that will help kids to be confident in water.

When person can’t swim he doesn’t feel secure. Why should your child live in fear? Teach your kid to swim to be prepared for any life circumstances. After all this is the task of all parents – they must teach their children to adapt.





Aqua Forest

After you provided your child with proper physical training, it is time to have fun and develop the braining activity. Aqua Forest iPhone application will be great for this goal. The game looks very nice and it is very captivating. As you catch water drops falling from the trees, you shouldn’t spill them, but guide through a maze. These manipulations can amuse your kids and supply them with knowledge about the physical laws. Let your children play with different substances, drawing various shapes on the touch panel.





But water is not only fun, this is essential part of the personal hygiene. The best way to teach our kids to care about it is to make them care about their virtual pets. Try games where children act as pet lovers, caring about hygiene.

The kids learn that it is necessary to wash and, secondly, they learn to care about pets. What pet does your child prefer? Choose the application to your kid’s taste!

iWash my Dogs

You can choose between various breeds to choose the pet you will wash. All dogs are very dirty so it may take some time for your kid to soap, rinse and dry them.



iWash my Cats

Cats adore being clean and they care about it on their own. But not in the case when they are too dirty! They will not cope with so much dirt without assistance of your child.



iWash my Horses

Horses are more exposed to dirt as they are not kept indoors like cats and dogs, therefore here the help of your kids is required most of all.



All these games are perfect for fun and relaxation, but do not neglect the learning effect as well. If you don’t want to observe how your baby, loving to splash in water grows into messy adult, then these apps will help to teach your child a water-loving attitude every person should have.

Two Step Security for your Gmail Account

If you security is your highest concern, and have a lot of important documents and e-mails on gmail which you would not like to fall into someone else’s hands, or have had spam sent through your gmail account, the new security feature by the gmail team, almost makes it impossible for anyone to hack into your account. It is a two step process to sign in. There will be a new link on your account settings page which looks like this:


Gmail advises to take that step nice and slow, and set it up properly in case you lose you primary phone. Once enabled, it will give an additional page after signing into Google, which asks for the verification code. Gmail can call you with the code or text it to you, or you may generate the code in an app on Android, iOS or Blackberry device.


This way you are pretty sure its only you who is logging in, because though someone else may have your password, your Phone remains with you. Further, if you use Remember Verification for thirty days, you will only have to enter the verification once every month.
