| Article Title :: Visual-Spatial Learners Under Pressure: The Dreaded Timed Test |
| |
| Have you ever had a hard time finding the word you’re trying to say? Or one that truly matches the picture in your head? How about your children? Have you ever watched them fumble to find the word they were looking for? If they’re visual-spatial learners, meaning they think in images, not in words, this may be a common occurrence. The process for a visual-spatial learner to translate mental images into words (or numbers) is much like a computer downloading graphics. It can take considerably longer for a computer, particularly an older model, to bring up an image than it does to bring up text. The visual-spatial learner must not only “download” mental images, but convert them to wo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Showing Your Work When There's Nothing to Show |

| Dad: I’m not angry, I’m disappointed.
Sam: Do you want to hear my side of it?
Dad: Sam, how can there be two sides?
Sam: Look, I got every question right on the final and the only reason why Mr. Spangler failed me was ‘cause I didn’t write out the solutions.
Dad: Why not?
Sam: I do them in my head.
Dad: Did you tell him that?
Sam: I did. He didn’t believe me. He said that if he can’t do them in his head, then I must be cheating.
Dad: Well, that’s ridiculous! How can he fail you for being smarter than he is?
Sam: That’s what I said.
Dad: You did? How’d he take it?
Sam: He flunked me, remember (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Your Obese Child & School Programs |
| |
| More than five years ago, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) published ‘Guidelines for School and Community Programs’ to promote physical activity in children and teenagers, in hopes of helping them develop lifelong exercise and physical fitness regimens.
If you, as a parent, understand and embrace these guidelines, you can work with your school system and with community centers and programs, like the YMCA and the Boy Scouts, to encourage and even help to develop physical activity and exercise programs that support your goals.
If your child is obese, slightly overweight or simply in danger of falling into the great, black pit of video gaming, you need to get t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Prenatal Movement And Parental Response - I Can Feel My Baby Move! |
| |
| “I think I can feel my baby move,” Whitney said, her dewy blue eyes wide with anticipation. Her voice rose at the end, turning her sentence into a query. She was a few weeks shy of the second trimester of her second successful pregnancy. Exuberantly curious, she sought validation for her awareness. Whitney was more confident with this baby than her first, but on the issue of whether or not she in fact could detect her baby’s movement, she was uncertain.
The delivery of Whitney’s first child was by caesarean section. At the time, and now in retrospect, she questioned the procedure. It had evoked a prolonged and recurring experience of loss. She knew that she wanted to del (read full article) |

| Article Title :: "Johnny Can't Tell Me if he has ADHD!" |
| |
| Once a parent-teacher phone call has been completed, the time arrives for a parent to approach their child to discuss the reported concerns surrounding academic achievement. It is always a good idea for the parent to prepare their ideas and adjust their attitude before they approach their child. It is recommended that parents approach their child with an effort to learn as much about the problem as possible. The mission of parents should focus on fact finding and information gathering. Arguments and expression of disappointment need to be avoided especially if a parent wants to learn more about the nature of the performance difficulty in the classroom. Avoid asking “Why” question (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Build Character with Knuckle Power and Free Your Kids from Fear! |
| |
| If your kids worry, feel anxious or fearful, you might hear them say, "I can't." This can be hard on you and your child. If you want your child to take reasonable risks and try new things, let Knuckle Power come to the rescue. It's a great parenting technique I learned years ago from NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) Classes. Knuckle Power (my term) can change "I can't" into "I can." Let's find out how.
I remember a six-year-old girl I'll call "Sally" (not her real name). Sally's mother brought her to counseling because Sally refused to go to her room. This caused problems at bedtime. Sally would scream and cry, "I'm afraid."Sally told me, "The lions and tigers will hurt me." Sal (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Having Fun at Home |
| |
| At home I have an area set up for my children that contains things that I know they will enjoy playing and creating with regularly. I have what I call a 'useful box'. It contains basic art and craft items like pencils, glue, scissors, paper, newspaper, glitter, paints, crayons, alfoil, pop sticks, etc. Anything that they might enjoy creating with. Nothing in the box is expensive and it's all widely available. Occasionally I restock it or add a few things, like plastic bottle, shopping catalogues, bottle tops, magazines and the like. The children know that if they are bored or can't think of anything to do then they can go to the useful box and find inspiration.I also have a box of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Baby Shower – How to Bath Your Baby... Safely |

| OK, first of all, you must know that newborns only need two or three times a week of thorough bathing. Other than that, all you have to do is completely clean her after feedings and don’t forget also the diaper section when you change her diaper.If you bath your baby more frequent, it will only cause rashes and damages to her skin. Remember also that as long as the leftover of the umbilical cord remains intact, you should only bath your newborn with sponge.When should you bath your baby?Well, basically you can do it any time of the day, but if you want her to sleep better, you might want to bath your newborn just before bedtime.Prepare all of the bathing equi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Why Kids Don't Call Home and Should---It Was a Rainy Night in Hilversum and Titanic was Still Afloat |
| |
| I'll tell you what. When my kids don't call me once in awhile, it makes me nuts! I gotta change my paradigm on this topic. It would be easy to come up with a list of reasons why I might personally like or need to hear from my offspring. We could dabble in the idea of feeling loved, or appreciated or that even something we had to say might be helpful or encouraging, but we won't. That's all the standard stuff. Oh sure, I connect my kids not calling me to them not liking me or not giving a rats ass about me, but I seriously doubt that is literally true. If being a butthead from time to time get's you taken out of the loop, then I wouldn't be calling them either.I guess some pa (read full article) |
