Students on vacation should not learn anything

2013-07-13T12:25:00.001-07:00

Psychologists’ advice: Students on vacation should not learn anything

Do not make your pupils and students read the obligatory school literature and prepare for the next school year. It’ summer vacation, they should socialize as much as possible, relax and play, say psychologists.

School psychologists should not recommend a holiday learning, nor should the parents impose on children private lessons and contents they are not interested in.

Children with specific developmental problems such as dyslexia, dysphasia, dysgraphia, etc., need to work continuously, but no more than an hour a day. Dynamics need to be determined with the help of experts who follow these children.

St.Valentine, St. Tryphon, or Valentine's Day and Friendship Day?

2013-02-03T09:19:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day is really an ancient holiday - On February 15, Romans celebrated Luperaclia, honoring Faunus, god of fertility. Men would go to a grotto dedicated to Lupercal, the wolf god, located at the foot of Palatine Hill and where Romans believed that the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, were suckled by a she-wolf. The men would sacrifice a goat, don its skin, and run around, hitting women with small whips, an act which was supposed to ensure fertility. In ancient Roman religion and myth, Faunus was the horned god of the forest, plains and fields; when he made cattle fertile he was called Inuus. He came to be equated in literature with the Greek god Pan.

According to one story, Roman emperor Claudius II imposed a ban on marriages because too many young men were dodging the draft by getting married (only single men had to enter the army). A Christian priest named Valentinus was caught performing secret marriages and sentenced to death. While awaiting execution, young lovers visited him with notes about how much better love is than war — the first “valentines.” The execution occurred in 269 CE on February 14th.

Were Internet Making Us a Bad Parents?

2012-08-02T08:04:00.000-07:00

It's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning, then it's the last thing you do at night. No, it's not brushing your teeth. For many moms, it's checking their e-mail, social networking pages, blogs, message boards or all of the above.

The Internet can be a fun, social and educational outlet, but as we would monitor our kids' Internet use, so should we monitor our own.

Internet addiction can come with some harmful behaviors, such as not eating, showering or taking pills to stay up and online.

Moms are the new Internet junkies! According to Parenting magazine, many young mothers are addicted to blogs, message boards, and virtual-world sites like Second Life. In the most extreme cases, addicts don’t bathe, neglect their children, and use drugs to help them stay up later for more Internet time. Now, not everyone’s problem is bad enough to need professional help, but if you’ve noticed that you’re missing out on time with your baby, or leaving the laundry unwashed a little longer than you should - you might be susceptible to the addiction of the Web.

Motivating a child with rewards!

2012-06-17T12:01:00.001-07:00

Did you ever 'bribe' your child when he couldn't finish his meal with a promise of a caddy to get him to finish his meal? Don't you agree a child should be taught to understand finishing his meal is to help them grow up healthily? Therefore, it is their 'duty' to do their job and should not be rewarded. Or, did you reward your child when he achieves better results on his report card? Don't you think that's their 'duty' too? While you may choose to reward your child for high marks, have you ever used it to reward progress, particularly for those children who have difficulty achieving "A"s and "B"s ? We all agree we need to reward our children. However, the extent and the forms of reward are a tricky question.

Reward is a quick-fix solution. It offers instant and safe gratification and is sure to please and satisfy. The returns of reward are certainly quick but are they effective in the child's psychological development? Buying things for children does not teach them values. Even materially rewarding positive behavior is a limited motivating force.

A child who is loved and disciplined is a child who is fortified to survive and succeed in our world

2012-06-13T11:24:00.000-07:00

Problems related to poor discipline are on the rise in this country. For many reasons, some of today’s parents have become discipline slackers - perhaps too tired to instill good habits or too busy to stand up to their youngster’s bad behavior. Is it because lenient moms and dads are trying to make up for time they do not have with their children? Are parents reading every possible book on the subject and then following trendy ideas about parenting rather than relying on common sense?

There seems to be a great misunderstanding about those four old-fashioned words, "Because I said so!" Some child raising specialists consider them repressive and potentially damaging. Other experts have convinced parents that the psychologically healthy family is a democracy. This sounds good. In fact, it sounds great!- The only problem is that it is pure fiction! Someone has to have the final say in any family and that someone should be an adult. Turn a family over to a child and that family is in trouble!

I would like to be beutiful!

2012-05-23T12:03:00.000-07:00

While beauty is almost as subjective as love, it's something that you can explore and discover in yourself over time.

Define Beauty

Seek beauty around you. How do you define beauty? As you go through your day, try to make note of things and people that strike you as beautiful: the art, the sky, someone's freckles. If you can, write them down. Find your beauty. Try to understand what makes them beautiful to you. They may not be beautiful to others, but that's the reason beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Develop Your Inner Beauty

Recognize the beauty in yourself. Look in the mirror and search for beauty. By now, you've probably noticed that the most beautiful things in life are often subtle and hidden. The same goes for the beauty you hold. Maybe you have smooth, well-proportioned hands, or a flawless forehead, or perfectly-shaped shoulders. Whatever it is, it's yours - reveal it.

Optimism gives us a reason for living!

2012-03-29T11:53:00.012-07:00

Today, tt is not easy to be optimistic, but optimism is our most powerful tool to make life more beautiful, healthier and more successful.

The Benefits of Optimism

Superior Health
In a study of 99 Harvard University students, those who were optimists at age 25 were significantly healthier at ages 45 and 60 than those who were pessimists. Other studies have linked a pessimistic explanatory style with higher rates of infectious disease, poor health, and earlier mortality.

How to Be Yourself

It's quite possibly the most commonly used phrase in the history of advice: Be yourself. But it's such a vague adage. What do they really mean when they tell you to be yourself? And is it really as easy as it sounds?

About Wisdom Tooth !

2012-02-27T11:46:00.000-08:00

What are wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth are the upper and lower third molars, located at the very back of the mouth. They are called wisdom teeth because usually they come in when a person is between age 17 and 21 or older-old enough to have gained some "wisdom." Wisdom teeth that are healthy and properly positioned do not cause problems.

What causes problems with wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth may break partway through your gums, causing a flap of gum tissue to grow over them where food can become trapped and a gum infection can develop. Wisdom teeth can also come in crooked or facing the wrong direction. Or, if your jaw is not large enough to give them room, wisdom teeth may become impacted and unable to break through your gums. You may have trouble properly cleaning around wisdom teeth because they are so far in the back of your mouth and may be crowded.

Your perfect graduation dress

2012-02-18T11:51:00.001-08:00

You are on the cusp of graduating and have found a dress that you really like. Later, though, you may find that the dress does not show off your unique sense of style. By adding certain accessories and pieces, you can create a special look that's yours alone.

· Decide what you can do to enhance the dress without ruining the material. Obviously, you do not want to dye the dress or sew something on it that you will remove after graduation. Find items and accessories that you can put on and take off the dress easily.

· Add a sash or belt in a color that complements the dress. You might even consider a sash or belt in one of your school colors. Just wrap it around your waistline, or if your dress has an empire waist, wear it right below your chest. You can also wrap a scarf around your shoulders.

There are only benefits of inclusion, there is not any negative effect !

2012-01-28T11:58:00.000-08:00

What is Inclusion?

Inclusion is part of a much larger picture then just placement in the regular class within school. It is being included in life and participating using one's abilities in day to day activities as a member of the community.

It is being a part of what everyone else is, and being welcomed and embraced as a member who belongs. Inclusion can occur in schools, churches, play- grounds, work and in recreation.

If you are a victim of elderly parents who always abused you

2012-01-23T10:23:00.000-08:00

Domestic violence, both physical and psychological been given more visibility, especially violence against women, children and the elderly. Violence against the elderly is widely discussed, there are a number of institutions and organizations where the elderly can get help. Very little is being said about psychological violence against family members of the elderly parents. If you are a victim of such violence, you will find help quite difficult, although this type of harassment can harm your health and destroy your family.

I tried to find articles on this topic on the internet and, after a long search, I found a very small number of posts.

This article deals with the theme of violent elderly parents, so I'll pass it completely.

Putting money in its right place

2012-01-18T11:42:00.000-08:00

Is money the purpose behind the choices you make and the values you live by? If so, beware! Money is a good servant but a poor master. Money should be the consequence of how you live your life and not the cause of it.

When Jesus Christ was within a hair's breadth of enlightenment, Satan led him to a mountaintop and offered him dominion over the glittering cities spread below. On the night of the Buddha's enlightenment, Mara offered him the same temptations. Both refused and were enlightened.

Why Should I Learn - How to Learn ?

2012-01-10T11:55:00.000-08:00

Have you ever read an informative book, only to later remember just a few main points — if anything at all? The problem might be that you’re using one of the least efficient ways of learning available.

The Cone of Learning

I remember back about 7 years ago when I was taking music lessons at school, there was a poster on the wall that really grabbed my attention. To be fair, it wasn’t difficult for a random object to attract your gaze as our Scottish teacher at the time didn’t have much in the way of keeping you interested. The poster outlined the different ways that we remember things and how different activities increase our chances of remembering something over others.

Parents need to know what's going on at school

2011-12-11T11:45:00.000-08:00

Parent involvement in the education system, more specifically in your own child’s education is extremely important. Not only does it show the teacher that you are willing to help and do what it takes to help your child succeed, it also shows the child that you love them enough to take the time to be involved in an important and very big part of their daily life. There are many reasons for why you need to know how your child’s doing in school:

1.How they do in school can affect their behavior in other aspects of their life
2.Sometimes teachers are aware and catch things that parents might miss
3.Helping them at home is directly related to how what they do during the day
4.It shows your child that you care about what they’re doing

Let us Show Understanding for the Worries of Our Teenagers

2011-12-03T12:29:00.000-08:00

The teen years are full of fun and freedom. As kids go from pre-teens to teens, they become excited to start high school, make new lasting friendships, learn to drive, and prepare for college.

However, there are many things that teens worry about as well. The following are some common teen problems that make them worry:

Peers and Fitting In

This is perhaps the most important, stress-inducing factor of the teen years. Fitting in and being socially accepted is important for most teens. In fact, many teens who are ousted or picked on in the high school years carry the emotional scars as result for many years. Where to eat lunch, who to hang out with, being accepted, and having friends are all common worries for teens.

Not only do teens want to fit in with their school, they want to fit in within their own peer groups as well. Even among friends (this is particularly true for girls), cliques can form and teens can be outcasts in their own groups as well. This is a common worry for teens.

Social Interaction is Important for Your Child

2011-11-19T11:48:00.000-08:00

Social interaction is an important part of a child’s education. As they age the importance of social interaction does not cease to exist. Even as adults they will have to know how to navigate the social aspects of careers. Often it is not what you know, but who. It is sometimes more about whether or not someone liked you then whether or not you have the highest qualifications. So, helping your child become adept at socializing is as important as helping them learn to read and write. The following is a look at how you can help your child socialize in school:

Allow children to be messy

A Fine Mess

Despite appearances, messy play can make an enormous contribution to babies' and young children's cognitive and creative development.

What do we think about when we hear the word 'messy'? Untidy, muddled, disorganised, confused, cluttered, shambolic, disordered, disarray or perhaps the instruction, 'Don't make a mess'.The word messy is often given negative meanings and calling an important aspect of play 'messy' can lead to it being undervalued. This guide aims to reclaim messy play as an important part of early years provision and demonstrate its importance for young children's learning and development.In this article

Children in a world of constant advertising and spending

2011-10-29T14:08:00.000-07:00

What does it mean to be a consumer in today’s culture? Being both frugal and conscious has become a sign of the times, and kids are exposed, more than ever, to ways to save money, shop wisely, and conserve food and materials.

As a parent, you have a primary role of showing your child what it means to be a consumer in a world of constant advertising and spending. How can you promote a lifestyle that isn't reliant on buying and spending? And, for older children, what types of skills are needed to think critically and independently as a consumer?

What Parents Can Do?

Low self-esteem and lack of confidence

2011-10-21T07:45:00.000-07:00

About self-esteem and confidence

Self-esteem is a way a person feels about themselves. Everyone has it in different degrees. A person with high/positive self-esteem generally feels good about themselves and feels they have a lot to offer. A person with low or poor self-esteem generally feels worthless and that they have little to contribute. Without positive self-esteem it is highly unlikely that a person would have a full, happy and productive life. The development of feelings of self-esteem starts very early in life. For example, when a child learns to walk or talk they feel a sense of having achieved something. Praise and encouragement at this point from parents, or people important in their life, boosts the positive feelings they have about themselves and encourages the child to go on achieving. Achievement in itself is not enough. Love, praise and encouragement are essential elements in helping a child develop a positive self-esteem.

The importance of volunteering in the development of children

2011-10-16T03:46:00.000-07:00

Importance of Children Serving as Volunteers

Everyone benefits from children serving as volunteers. There are several advantageous factors that children can receive and contribute to recipient organizations and to society by serving as volunteers. Volunteer projects have the potential of dramatically making a difference in the lives of their young participants. The importance of children as volunteers include the following; promotes healthy lifestyle and choices, enhances development, teaches life skills, improves the community, and encourages a lifelong service ethic.
