| Article Title :: Helping Your Child Face the Hidden Curriculum |
| |
| Wes came home from school one day and I had done something he didn’t agree with.“I’m sorry.”“Sorry’s not good enough.”I was dumbfounded.“Yes, it is.”“No, I tell Mrs. Slayback I’m sorry and she tells me it’s not good enough.”It is good enough. When we do something wrong, we tell God sorry and He forgives us. You tell Mrs. Slayback the next time she says it’s not good enough that sorry is good enough for God; it is good enough for anyone.”
I don’t remember what it was that I had done wrong to have to apologize and I’m sure I didn’t even ask why Wes was having to apologize at school, but I was dismayed that a teac (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Managing Tantrums in Autism Spectrum Disorders - When Consistency Doesn't Work |
| |
| When dealing with tantrums and difficult behaviors in autism spectrum disorders, using behavioral approaches alone can sometimes fail. What is the missing piece to managing these behaviors that a behavioral approach alone may not address?To start, we need to look at the reasons for behavior. According to behavioral approaches, most of the behavior we see results from one of three reasons: a request, seeking attention, or a sensory reason. Let’s look deeper at these three reasons for behavior and the ways we currently handle them.Handling a request is fairly straightforward. To put it very simply, a request is usually something externally controlled by both reinforcing appr (read full article) |

| Teenage drug abuse is running ramped in the United States and we need another Nancy Reagan type to get the kids to ‘just say no.’ We must do something as it seems that everywhere in the country the kids are doing the crystal meth. Many seem to get addicted and they are filling up our jails, rehabilitation centers and causing a real labor problem in this country.The problem is so bad that many employers assume everyone who comes in to get a job has drug problem or they would already have a job, so it hurts the good kids too. Some parents having grown up in the sixties and seventies thing that well the kids are going to try it. Indeed, but this is not the same types of drugs they (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Family Rituals - The Glue That Binds |
| |
| It’s important for individuals to become both independent and autonomous in this day and age – we all know this. Particularly in Western culture, independence is perhaps one of the most important and sought after goals. We want our children to be independent at increasingly earlier ages. We want to be independent in our communities, in our careers and in our finances.The importance of independence is something that is inherent in us all. It comes from an ideal, what psychologists call altruism – the ability to be true to ourselves by reaching our ultimate potential.
No harm in this, right? Not in and of itself, but problems arise when independence is revered.The (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Teen Dating Violence - What You Need to Know |
| |
| Debbie, a high school junior, appeared to everyone to have the ideal life: on the honor roll, decent part-time job, played three instruments, active in her church youth group, and she was dating a senior, the band’s drum major, Brian. What few people knew about Debbie was that often she sported bruises on her inside upper arm or stomach where Brian would squeeze her arm or hit her during a jealous rage. When Debbie confided in a close friend, the friend asked why she put up with it. “He doesn’t mean to hurt me,” Debbie replied. “He just loves me so much he can’t stand even the thought of me talking to another guy.”Debbie’s situation may sound far removed from tha (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Drowning Prevention Tips |
| |
| The death of any child is a tragedy. But nothing prepares parents for unexpected, accidental deaths of infants, toddlers and preschoolers—especially when that death is by drowning. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among children under the age of five. Many of these children die in less than two-inches of water in the bathtub, toilet, pools and buckets.Drowning can happen in a small amount of water because the immediate reaction of a young child lying face down in water is to either cry or breathe, causing the inhalation of water into the lungs.How can we protect our children, from infants through their teena (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Humor for Women - My Pre-Teen Daughter's Clothes |
| |
| My daughter said that would rather go to school naked than wear clothes that I picked out for her. I think she was kidding, but I didn’t want to test her. The last time we went shopping for clothes, she made me promise that I would only buy her clothes that she wanted, not clothes that I liked. Of course I told her that I would only spend money on clothes that I thought were appropriate for her to wear to school. I know that seems obvious, but nothing is obvious when you’re shopping with a pre-teen that wants to look good for her friends.It used to be so easy shopping for clothes when she was a baby. I could pick out the cutest outfits with little pink bunnies on them with (read full article) |
