What to get my four children for christmas on a tight budget?

best kids bikes 18 inch image

I have 4 children: 14 year old daughter, 10 year old son, 8 year old son, and 7 year old daugher. My husband and I were 18 when we had our first born straight out of high school so we have always been tight on money, hopping from job to job, and putting at kids first. This year, my husband lost his job but I still have mine. We have some saved up for emergancies for bills and food but I want to give my children at least a good christmas this year. I wish I was able to give them stuff like ipods and stuff but I feel bad for giving my oldest a fliphone for her birthday this year instead of a touch one but luckily she was trilled. They all love clothes and I find popular brands like Hollister and others from thrift shops and yard sales so they can look nice and I have bought about 2 articles of clothing for each child so far but besides that, what else can I get my 4 children that is age related for each child besides clothes on a budget of $150. Thank you!!

amazon is great. Does the 14 year old like music? Cheap band tshirts, posters, stuff like that on amazon. Art? Sketching pads and pencil sets, under 10 dollars.
If you like thrift shopping you can find great deals on stuff besides clothes, such as jewelry for the girls and legos or something for the boys.

Can exercising and stretching help you grow taller ?

Michael.k

Like exercising a lot as a kid. I'm 15. Can exercising and stretching help you add a few inches to your height?

I meant these kind of exercises- biking, running, jogging, jumping, stretching. I have heard that during exercise, you will release growth hormone that will make you bones grow or grow bigger n taller. And stretching helps your bones & muscle extend longer easily. Is this true ?

Thanks

Answer
Exercising and stretching will make you fitter but, unfortunately, not taller.

To reach your potential height you need adequate sleep (from 8-10 hours per night), adequate calories and a normal healthy diet.

Plenty of protein from eggs, meat, poultry, sea food and dairy products helps as well as calcium from milk, cheese and other dairy products. You also need plenty of zinc from red meat, oysters, mussels, nuts and seeds and zinc fortified cereals such as Weetbix. Vitamin D3 via the Sun also helps.

Girls usually stop growing at 15 and in most cases any further height growth from 15-21 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.

Guys usually stop growing at 18 and in most cases any further height growth from 18-25 is insignificant but there are exceptions such as late bloomers.

Under eating and under sleeping can, to some extent, stunt your height growth. Exercise does not help your height growth and smoking can actually reduce your potential height by a whole inch. Too much junk sugar can reduce your HGH level as in item 40 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm
