| Article Title :: Corporal Punishment Causes Unacknowledged Damage |
| |
| Corporal punishment can be defined as a painful, intentionally inflicted (typically, by striking a child) physical penalty administered by a person in authority for disciplinary purposes. Corporal punishment can occur anywhere, and whipping, beating, paddling, and flogging are specific forms of corporal punishment (Cohen, 1984).Twenty-two states allow corporal punishment in school. Whether school administrators follow the statue is irrelevant, because if the statue remains a law, the mindset that paddling is acceptable in school, children are without doubt subjected to corporal punishment at home.The fact remains, corporal punishment causes emotional as well as physical dama (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Effects of Pushing Academics Too Hard |
| |
| Parents want what is best for their children. They want their children to be happy, smart, and successful. Educational level and school performance serves as the measuring stick. Parents believe if a student excels in school, s/he will excel in life. Striking a balance between accepting a child's performance and pushing a child to reach a higher level can be very difficult. However, pushing too hard will impact your child negatively.In my tenure as a psychologist and coach, I have heard countless middle school students say: "What's wrong with a B, they expect me to make straight A's", "I hate being the example", "They just want me to get into an IV league college- I'm only in (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Help for Bedwetting |
| |
| Many children can suffer from a tendency to wet their bed at night while they are asleep. This can go on long after they have been toilet trained and have reached the age when they are supposed to be able to control their bladder. This can be frustrating and embarassing for the child. It can also be quite worrisome for the parent.In Western Medicine, certain children have weak smooth muscle lining the wall of their bladder, which results in frequent bedwetting, till the muscle lining of their bladder gains more tone as they get older. In Chinese Medicine, the tendency towards bedwetting can be a sign of a constitutional imbalance. It can specifically be a sign of Kidney Deficiency. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Kids Fighting |
| |
| What do you do if your kids fight and argue with each other? Do you make a plea for peace, order the combatants to their bedrooms or lay the blame on the child who caused the infraction?It is almost impossible to stay out of kids’ fighting because they are usually noisy and invariably one child will call on mum or dad to intervene.My research indicates that sibling fighting is a concern to parents in three out of every four families with more than one child. Certainly this is the issue that most parents want to discuss when they come to my parenting seminars.It is important to have a realistic attitude to children's disputes. When adults live together under one roof (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Sibling Fighting |
| |
| There are two broad approaches that parents can adopt with kids fighting - become involved or remain neutral. Your approach will depend on the age, maturity and ability of your children to sort out their own problems, your ability to ignore noise and your beliefs about how conflict should be resolved.Australian psychologist and parenting authority Dr. Maurice Balson in his book Becoming Better Parents recommends that parents leave children to resolve their own disputes. He says, "If parents ignored sibling fighting and left children free to settle their own disputes, the incidence of fighting would decrease."Balson maintains that kids fighting is for the benefit of their pa (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Be There and Be Glad |

| Today's Quote: "It is impossible to live a pleasant life without
living wisely and well and justly, and it is impossible to live
wisely and well and justly without living pleasantly." Epicurus
(third century B.C.)Some people have figured out how to thoroughly enjoy life.It was evident last night when I was able to enjoy a concert by our local symphony orchestra. As my husband felt like he had just caught a touch of the flu, he told me at the eleventh hour that he needed to get to bed early and let me go it alone. My initial “ugh” at a Saturday date night sans my date (several last minute phone calls to friends offering our unused ticket led nowhere; our younger kids (read full article) |

| Article Title :: When Children Are Bullied |
| |
| Is your child being bullied? According to a survey by the American Justice Department he or she might be. The survey concluded that one out of every four children will be abused by another child each month*. That is twenty-five percent of our youth who will undergo physical, verbal, or emotional abuse at the hands of another child.Schools, which may have once seen youth bullying as part of an innocent hazing process, have begun cracking down on bullies as parents are demanding safer environments for their children. Some educational instituions have had cameras installed, added more counselors to their programs, and have instituted a zero-tolerance policy against student harassment. (read full article) |
