Eight Tricky Interview Questions

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:52:00 +0000

Does the thought of going on a job interview cause your palms to sweat and your body to break out in hives? Stop itching; you're not alone.

The vast majority of job seekers admit to emotions ranging from mild uneasiness to downright panic leading up to their interviews. The good news is there have been no reported cases of job seekers who died of nervousness during a job interview. So relax and follow these simple tips for keeping your anxiety at bay before and during your interview.
First, take the proper amount of time to prepare for your interview. Being well-prepared will boost your confidence and lower your anxiety. Experts recommend that you spend at least three hours preparing for each interview.

You should draft answers to the most common interview questions and practice speaking them out loud. You also should read up on the company with which you will be interviewing and prepare some questions of your own. This lets the interviewer know that you are truly interested in the company and the position.

As a final step in your preparation, make sure you have good directions to the interview site. Some job seekers make a dry run to the interview site to ensure the directions are correct and to estimate the amount of time they will need to get to the interview on time.

Going into a job interview is often like entering the great unknown. Although every interviewer is different and questions vary from industry to industry, there are some questions that are common across the board. Reading through the following questions and developing your own answers is a good place to start in your preparation. Once you have done that, remember practice makes perfect! Nothing impresses a potential employer like being ready for whatever is thrown your way.

Why should we hire you?

Here's the chance to really sell yourself. You need to briefly and succinctly lay out your strengths, qualifications and what you can bring to the table. Be careful not to answer this question too generically, however. Nearly everyone says they are hardworking and motivated. Set yourself apart by telling the interviewer about qualities that are unique to you.

Why do you want to work here?

This is one tool interviewers use to see if you have done your homework. You should never attend an interview unless you know about the company, its direction and the industry in which it plays. If you have done your research, this question gives you an opportunity to show initiative and demonstrate how your experience and qualifications match the company's needs.

What are your greatest weaknesses?

The secret to answering this question is being honest about a weakness, but demonstrating how you have turned it into a strength. For example, if you had a problem with organization in the past, demonstrate the steps you took to more effectively keep yourself on track. This will show that you have the ability to recognize aspects of yourself that need improvement, and the initiative to make yourself better.

Why did you leave your last job?

Even if your last job ended badly, be careful about being negative in answering this question. Be as diplomatic as possible. If you do point out negative aspects of your last job, find some positives to mention as well. Complaining endlessly about your last company will not say much for your attitude.

Describe a problem situation and how you solved it.

Sometimes it is hard to come up with a response to this request, particularly if you are coming straight from college and do not have professional experience. Interviewers want to see that you can think critically and develop solutions, regardless of what kind of issue you faced. Even if your problem was not having enough time to study, describe the steps you took to prioritize your schedule. This will demonstrate that you are responsible and can think through situations on your own.

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

The secret to this question is being specific and selecting an accomplishment that relates to the position. Even if your greatest accomplishment is being on a championship high school basketball team, opt for a more professionally relevant accomplishment. Think of the qualities the company is looking for and develop an example that demonstrates how you can meet the company's needs.
What are your salary expectations?

This is one of the hardest questions, particularly for those with little experience. The first thing to do before going to your interview is to research the salary range in your field to get an idea of what you should be making. Steer clear of discussing salary specifics before receiving a job offer. Let the interviewer know that you will be open to discussing fair compensation when the time comes. If pressed for a more specific answer, always give a range, rather than a specific number.

Tell me about yourself.

While this query seems like a piece of cake, it is difficult to answer because it is so broad. The important thing to know is that the interviewer typically does not want to know about your hometown or what you do on the weekends. He or she is trying to figure you out professionally. Pick a couple of points about yourself, your professional experience and your career goals and stick to those points. Wrap up your answer by bringing up your desire to be a part of the company. If you have a solid response prepared for this question, it can lead your conversation in a direction that allows you to elaborate on your qualifications.

5 Heart Healthy Exercises You Can Do During Pregnancy

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:48:00 +0000

Pregnancy is a time of celebration, love, and unwanted but necessary weight gain. However, being pregnant doesn’t mean that your health and figure has to suffer permanent damage. You can gain weight in a healthy fashion while doing some very easy and safe heart healthy pregnancy exercise routines.

One of the simplest and most effective pregnancy exercises you can do is walking. Not only is walking one of the best cardiovascular exercises, it is also one of the safest pregnancy exercises you can engage in. Walking is one of the few pregnancy exercises that you can do for the complete duration of your pregnancy. Another extremely beneficial heart healthy pregnancy exercise is swimming. Countless doctors and pregnant women have attested to the wonderful benefits of swimming during pregnancy.

A weekly pregnancy exercise routine of swimming gives both the arms and legs a great workout while promoting cardiovascular health. Because of the nature of being subdued in water, swimming will also remind expectant mothers what it felt like before the pounds were added on. This is definitely a welcome change every now and then. The third pregnancy exercise routine you can start doing to keep your body healthy is enrolling in an aerobics class. Many fitness centers and community centers offer low impact aerobics classes for pregnant women. One of the nicer benefits of this pregnancy exercise is that it is done in the company of other pregnant women under the watchful eye of a professional aerobics instructor. This means you are going to get a safe workout catered to the special needs of pregnancy.

Weight training is also a very beneficial pregnancy routine to keep your body healthy. Although you must only use very light weights when engaging in this pregnancy exercise, weight training is an excellent way of toning your body and increasing muscular strength.

The last heart healthy pregnancy exercise you can do to stay fit is Pilates/yoga. Both of these body conditioning exercises promote stretching and flexibility within the muscles. Yoga is also a nice accompaniment to walking. By doing a combination of these pregnancy exercises, you can have a healthy balanced cardiovascular routine. Being pregnant doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice exercise and health. By walking, swimming, doing aerobics, weight training, and engaging in a Pilates/yoga routine, you can have a healthy and fit pregnancy.

Employment Prospects Take Flight with Well-Executed Job Applications

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:38:00 +0000

Properly filling out an application form is a vital step in the hiring process – yet too many applicants see it as a repetitious waste of time. That attitude can be costly. Savvy job seekers understand the importance of completing all required paperwork neatly, completely and accurately.

Remember, applications give employers their first glimpse into your character and the sort of work you are likely to perform. A neat application indicates you care about your self-presentation. A complete application demonstrates that you pay attention to details, follow directions, and are not satisfied until the job is well done. A form that provides accurate information shows that you can be trusted to get the job done right.
For all civil service employment – county, state and federal – applications are the number-one screening device. Based on the information provided and the manner in which the form is completed, the employer decides whether to call you for an interview.

In private industry, the resume is most often utilized as a screening tool; however, completion of the application is typically required either before the interview or before a job offer is made.

Facts in Hand:

Your fact sheet should include personal information: your Social Security and driver’s license numbers, previous employment (dates are important) and education history including elementary and high school. You should also have names and numbers for personal and professional references. Having this information with you can eliminate scratched out errors, misspellings and inconsistent information.
A small pocket dictionary may prove invaluable if you are asked to write additional information. Sloppy spelling can undermine your best efforts.

Ansel Petrovich, staffing director at USAA Insurance Company, has their applicants write a paragraph describing future goals. This allows USAA’s screening committee to assess writing skills before the interview. Many companies use this technique or ask candidates to write answers to a series of pre-interview questions.
It also pays to do your homework when it comes to salaries. You should know in advance the salary range offered for the position you seek. You can often deduce this information through newspaper ads or by talking with someone doing the same type of work, hopefully at the target company. Having these facts will help you avoid under or overpricing yourself on the question "salary expected."

Apply these guidelines:

Surveys have shown that close to 50 percent of the applications submitted are screened out. But by following a few basic rules, you can ensure that yours does not become a part of this statistic.

Read the application form carefully before beginning and follow all of the instructions.
Answer all questions. Never leave a blank space; if not applicable, enter N/A.
Always be specific in the type of work desired. Never list "general work" or "anything."
Be sure to enter a telephone number (cell or message) where you can be reached at all times. If you have a "cutesy saying" on your answering machine, it should be changed for the duration of your job search.
Be sure to enter first and last name in the order requested.
Fill out the application in black ink (blue ink does not copy as well). Print if your handwriting is poor.
Be specific but brief in your past job descriptions. Do not put "see resume."
Stress the important skills you have to get the job done. The space to describe former job duties is usually very limited, so utilize as many action words as possible: speed, accuracy, dexterity, flexibility, technical know-how, etc.
Clearly but briefly describe the scope of your responsibilities.
Avoid abbreviations or acronyms.
Briefly state the unusual aspects of your past jobs.
Know names, telephone numbers and addresses of previous employers.
Know the dates you worked and the salaries you received.
Know what schools you attended, giving location and dates.
Give the name, address and telephone number of at least three personal references (should not be former employers).

When furnishing references, get permission before listing names; do not list a name of an individual who might provide a poor reference. Make sure the names, addresses and telephone numbers of references are correct.
Finally, accuracy and honesty are essential. Distortions on your application form can catch up with you and ultimately cost you your job. Sylvia Mata, recruitment director at Los Rios Community College District, confirms that employees have been dismissed due to inaccurate information on their application form.
All because someone treated the application form carelessly. Remember, that piece of paper is a reflection of you. Make sure it projects an image you can be proud of.

Pharmaceutical sales representatives are people who do liaising with physicians, pharmacists and even patients to make them aware about particular prescription drugs and medicines that their company manufactures. They are representatives of their company for promoting the drugs or medicines they produce. As a pharmaceutical sales representative, he/she is allowed the independence of flexible working hours and being on their own. In United States alone, there are around 85,000 people working as pharmaceutical sales representatives. A job and career option as a pharmaceutical sales representative may be a good choice for those who do not like be confined to four walls of a regular office.

Ascending Career Graph of Pharmaceutical sales representatives: Most representatives have to cope up with field work. Some may get promoted to supervisory and trainee posts. Some may also move on to administration and planning department. Employment opportunities are on a rise for people in US. The job prospect for pharmaceutical sales representatives is looking good according to latest report from US labor department. As companies are growing, so is the need for a competent medical or pharmaceutical sales representative. Medical representatives set about their schedules as per the doctor's routine, mostly having early morning appointments,
luncheon hours or in the evenings. They may spend major part of their time in traveling and would have to wait endlessly to see the doctor in rush hour. Due to the busy schedules of doctors, medical guys have to adjust with the daily stress, also having to deal with competition from other sales representatives.

More than 15 to 20% earnings are got through the commission upon the medicines, which the doctors order.

Career Success Begins with Knowing Yourself

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:00:00 +0000

I find people often wait until they are middle aged and go through the horrific experience of job burn out, from doing a job that they were never created to do, before they start looking at making some changes. But not always.

Sometimes I come across a person who tells me a story that does my heart good. I was speaking with a young woman the other day who had taken the initiative early. She had trained as an auditor and was doing well in her job, but it didn't really feel right for her. She looked around at all of the other auditors and saw what had become of the ones that obviously didn't really enjoy it. The ones that had been doing the job for years and had just got "stuck" there, miserable and grumpy!

She suddenly realised that if she didn't make some changes, and soon, she would end up just like them. Grumpy and Miserable! Now she's working in recruitment and loving it! It took courage, but she made the leap and is now reaping the rewards. She decided that even though she had spent years and loads of money training to be an auditor, it would cost her a lot more in her future happiness if she stuck with it.

But you know, I think a lot of people don't think they deserve to happy. They probably wouldn't admit it, but deep down, I'm sure that's what they must think. How else would you explain the fact that so many people end up
being stuck in dead end jobs that they hate? Why would they put themselves through that day after day after day, if they truly thought that they deserved better? Why would they continue to towards job burn out.
Unless people have a healthy self-esteem and a sense of their own uniqueness, they aren't going to have the ability to do what needs to be done to get happy and to avoid the dreaded job burn out!

Maybe there is a little voice inside of them, way down in their subconscious that is telling them lies. Telling them they don't deserve any better. Maybe they have been comparing themselves unfavorably to other people.
The best thing that I have found to help get your self-talk sorted into a more positive dialogue, is finding out who you really are. Career success begins with knowing yourself. When you realise that you are truly unique, that you weren't made exactly the same as anyone else and begin to explore this reality, it is such an incredibly freeing experience. Myers Briggs Type indicator is one way that people find very eye-opening towards finding out who they are and what makes them tick. There are lots of other assessments available. Coaching
can help you explore this subject in a confidential and safe environment. A good starting point could be to ask somebody who knows you well to tell you how they would describe you. That can be a very interesting exercise.
I hope you aren't making the same mistake that so many make and that is trying to be somebody that you are not. Remember that career success begins with knowing yourself, it really does. The best thing that anyone can do while looking at their career path is to be honest with themselves about who they really are and then move towards career success by utilising this knowledge.

All About Dermatologist And Their Career Options

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:00:00 +0000

Author: Peter Salazar

Article:
The dermatologists examine the disease-affected skin, suggest
blood tests and skin samples. The samples are scrutinized under
a microscope for exact diagnosis. After diagnosing the nature of
disease he/she attempts to treat them through oral medications,
surgery or radiotherapy.

Nowadays dermatologists are more associated with performing
high-end cosmetic techniques or surgeries on the skin for
various beautification processes.

Career options for dermatologists:

Dermatologists may work in hospitals or may take up private
practice.

They may even take up positions as professors, teaching faculty,
supervisors or research heads in their specialized fields.

Private practitioners may opt for specialized dermatologistâ™s
courses in pediatric and cosmetic dermatology.

Job & Salary

Those who want to opt for a dermatologist career must have a
bachelorâ™s degree and a M.D degree from any recognized medical
school.

Also future dermatologists must compulsorily pass the three
stages of fellowship, internship and residency, if they want to
begin a proper practice.

The basic mandatory requirement for dermatology practice in US
may need an American Citizen, diploma in dermatology, complete
certification with registrations that entails one to authorize
free practice as a dermatologist in US.

The average salary for a dermatologist in US is around $2,
26,225 on a yearly basis according to current market analysis
report collected from numerous human resource departments all
over US.

Many dermatologists are smart enough to juggle 2 careers at the
same time-one as a regular physician and as a cosmetic medical
expert. The job and salary expectations depend on your own
latest skills as a dermatologist, experience, the mode of
practice i.e. public or private; a dermatologist salary is
interdependent on all these factors. Those abreast with the
latest treatment courses such as botox, laser peel, re-firming
skin, foto-facial, etc definitely have more chance of heavier
pay-scale.

Even the place of practice may intervene with the pay scale. For
example, in places like New York, California and Florida, the
dermatologist pay scale may be anywhere between 1, 60,000 to 2,
50,000 dollars.

All those aspiring dermatologists may search online for more
information and details regarding dermatology, future prospects,

Does Forensic Nurse Only Deals With Dead Bodies?

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:30:00 +0000

Author: Ethan Edison

Article:
Many people have strange perceptions regarding a forensic nurse.
They generally associate a forensic nurse with dead bodies,
pathology and stuff. There are forensic practices which let you
deal with living patients too. Forensic nursing is growing much
in popularity and many of the graduating nurses have started to
divert their minds to this field. But in spite of so much of
information available people still have confusion over what
actually is a forensic nurse.

The term 'forensic' is defined as concerning the law, legal.
While many forensic nurses are trained for death investigations,
many of them are taught to deal patients who are the survivors
of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and many other
violent forms of trauma. Forensic nurses vary in experience.
Like some of them have experience in emergency departments, care
or women health nursing. Forensic nurses having psychiatric
training have to work with the mentally affected individuals in
the special institutions for the psychiatric patients.

These nurses are exposed to advanced training in traumatic
identification of wounds, which includes skills to recognize
prototype injuries and injuries in the healing process. These
nurses also develop skills in the documentation procedures which
are generally photographic. Plus, they also have to excel in the
techniques of effectively testifying the evidences in the
various criminal and courtly consequences.

Job opportunities are innumerous in the field of forensic
sciences and they are still expanding day by day. The forensic
nursing jobs require their nurses to play key-roles in serving
child and adult protective and investigation teams, to develop
and run hospital based anti-violence programs, to work in police
crime labs, to work in investigating deaths and providing
complete sexual assault examinations in hospitals and even
examination centers. These nurses certainly have a bright future
waiting for them in the form of specialists as consultants,
clinicians, examiners and educators.

A forensic nurse specializes in many different and various
fields.

A forensic clinical specialist assists the victims by providing
them with both medical as well as emotional treatments.

A forensic investigator nurse has to be present at the crime
scene to collect the major evidences like collecting blood
samples, tissue samples and other related and suspicious
evidences. A forensic investigator nurse is also expected to
team up with the detectives on duty and the policemen on guard.

A death investigator nurse has to come up with the approximate
time of death and has to investigate the best possible reasons
for the death. If the nurse has experienced the massive
background in medical training and terminology, then it will be
possible to determine the medical reasons, if any, which may
have triggered the death.

A sexual assault examiner is an expert in the field of dealing
with the victims of sexual assault. These nurses are responsible
for providing clinical as well as emotional treatment to their
patients. A sexual assault examination specialist has to be
present at the court proceedings with the possible gathered
evidences to prove her point, if the need arises.

10 Top Tips for Beginning Bloggers

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Author: Michael Hastings I was reading a blog post last week in which the writer stated a list of 101 things that he learned from blogging in last year. Even though this list may be somewhat dated, I find the message still painfully clear. No one is an expert at this. The changes in the marketplace are moving so fast that we are all competing for the same eyeballs, and there are not many people who know the exact combination of content, site colors or ad placement to hit a home run every time. In any case, as many people are beginning their first forte into blogging this year, I have prepared a list which I believe to be the 10 most important things that a Beginning Business Blogger should be mindful of. 1. Get started. To be a successful blogger you have to blog about something. Make it something you are interested in, and your writing style will come through. 2. Learn how to read basic .xml and HTML. You will have to modified the original blog template you will be using to avoid redundancy, and without some knowledge in reading basic .xml or HTML code you will quickly give up. Get a "for dummies" book or scour the internet for free manuals or pamphlets you can use to help yourself out. 3. Don't spend a dime when getting started. Many bloggers will say this is not true, as you may be crippling your opportunities to get professional help with advertising, site creation and software to automate the process, but I say, on earth will you know what you are gonna need, when you have not even tried blogging yet? Get a free tool, like wordpress.com or blogger.com and just start poking around. It is less destructive, will not cause as much financial strife if the blogging thing does not work out, and you wont lose your wife, your dignity or your shirt. 4. Focus everyday to accomplish your goals. I have written several articles on time management that have been published over at http://www.cheapwads.blogspot.com and the number one time killer I recognize in my profession is procrastination. Everyone must have a basic list of tasks you want to accomplish each day, and must diligently stick to the list until all items are completed each day. Get a freeware application to track your progress and blog about it. 5. Google is your friend. I would advise anyone to take full use of the tools that this company has available. They are huge and they own so many web properties that the integration of their tools can make your life quite easy. 6. Don't become obsessive about posting. You will lose sleep and bags under one's eyes are not becoming. 7. Set a plan to be in this for the long haul. Although there are people who are make a ton of cash blogging, it probably will not be you, right away at least. I read somewhere that the majority of the real estate agents in the United States earn an average of $12,000 dollars per year. Yet, we only hear about the Donald Trumps of the world. Not everyone can be a star, but with hard work and dedication to a plan, who know what can occur. 8. Plan to put in at least 3 - 4 hours everyday when you start blogging. I put in more, but that is because I am crazy. 9. Don't read too many blogs when starting. You begin to compare yours to others and come to the assumption that your design skills are poor. But, remember that everyone has to start somewhere. 10. Last but not least, tell your wife, mother, dog, teacher, landlord, someone, anyone that you love them everyday. To be a successful blogger it will take patience and time. Not just yours, but your loved ones as well. Be sure to remind them how important they are to your business plan and let them know daily how much you appreciate their assistance.

Article:
Lions may soon become extinct in large parts of africa.it takes
a population of 500 to 1000 lions to provide about 100 breeding
pairs sufficient to avoid inbreeding.according to the world
conservation union,lion populations in west and central Africa
fall far short of such numbers.it's a serious situation.there's
not one population that we can be sure will continue to be
there.the main reason for the decline is man's encroachement on
the animal's habitat.lions need very large hunting areas as much
as 75 square miles for a single male.the lion is keystone
species,it's a signal the fact that lions are threatened now
could mean that other species might be threatened in 20 to 30
years time For more information you should check it out all the

Make A Download Page - Increase Your Ebook Revenues

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 05:00:00 +0000

Article:
So, you've sold an ebook on eBay or on your own website and now
need a way for the customer to download their purchase. Before
you consider the possible methods take a few minutes to
contemplate what you want to achieve during this process.

Aswell as the obvious things like ensuring the customer receives
their ebook in good time and has a speedy trouble free download
many sellers fail to recognise the potential for a backend
income from this part of the sale.

This is perfectly demonstrated by many sellers choice to send
their ebooks in either of these two ways:

1) As an e-mail attachment. Delivery via an e-mail attachment
isn't a good idea in the first place because some people don't
know how to open an attachment, your outbox will be constantly
full because of the size of e-mails you're sending and if your
customers inbox is full they wont even receive your e-mail!

2) A direct link to the zip file in an e-mail. This is also a
bad move because like attachments you wont be able to offer any
further services to the buyer.

At the end of the day the most effective and profitable way for
the buyer to receive their product is via a download page.

If you haven't already you'll need to sign up to a webhost so
you can create a download page under the domain name of your
choice like. This looks very professional.

In order to get the buyer to your download page once they've
completed payment you can either manually send them an e-mail
link which redirects to the page or take the much more effective
option of signing up to a digital delivery service like
e-junkie.com which will either instantly redirect the buyer to
your download page on completion of payment or send them an
automatic pre-written e-mail which contains the redirection
link.

But the real clincher is what you put on the download page
itself!

At the start you want to make sure you thank the customer for
their order in 2 or 3 sentences. This keeps the transaction as
pleasant as possible and if you've sold the ebook on eBay those
words will go a long way to ensuring you receive positive
feedback.

You are then left with 2 choices, either you can choose to
insert the download link now or leave it till further down the
page and hit the buyer with some incredible offers beforehand. I
personally prefer the latter.

You can advertise some of your higher priced products giving the
buyer an option to purchase more before they download but if you
dont like the idea you could always advertise someone else's
product as an affiliate! Go to clickbank.com and choose from
over 100,000 products (preferably one that complements your
ebook well) and earn commissions up to 75% on any sales made.

You need to be capturing e-mail addresses to build your mailing
list and your download page is perhaps the best place to do it.
Offer something of value for free then add an opt-in box and
before you know it you could have a customer for life!

It's also a good idea to include some google ad's at some point.
Open up a Google Adsense account by clicking on 'Advertising
Programs' on Google's main page and this allows you to list text
ad's (relevant to your content) for free! You'll then be paid
each time anyone clicks on these ad's and it's a great
additional income source.

After each of these marketing Plug-In's clearly mark out the
download link for your ebook and leave relevant download
instructions. Then include a link back to your website and leave
your contact details.

So, if you're just not making enough money selling ebooks or
need to open up an additional income source you need to take
advantage of the post sale situation, you need to make a well
structured download page!

Important Advice from the Professional School Counselor

noreply@blogger.com (Michael Hastings) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:00:00 +0000

Author: Sheena Berg

Article:
As we all know, parenting has become a more complex task not
just because of the insidious intrusion of cutting edge
technology and immoral media influences, but also because of the
changing makeup of the family consisting of many kids in blended
families moving back and forth between households. Parents are
coming to terms with the fact that they feel inadequate and need
the aid of other resources; one of the most valuable is a
collaborative relationship with your childï¿½s school,
particularly with the teachers and the counselor.

Michelle Farias has discovered the secrets of this wide-ranging
topic with her definitive book 25 Ways to Keep Your Child Safe,
Healthy and Successful: Lessons from a School Counselor. Step
parents of kids in any grade are encouraged to use it as a
useful guide to increase awareness of existing issues and
potential problems and to learn strategies and techniques that
promote consistency and structure. A major determinant of
success in school is positive parental involvement and an
effective way to develop a strong partnership is to be aware of
issues and potential problems early on.

Michelle Farias has written a well-organized,
information-packed, practical guide that accurately reflects her
20 years of professional and practical experience as a school
counselor and a mental health therapist. "25 Ways to Keep Your
Child Safe, Healthy and Successful" is loaded with useful
knowledge and guidance covering general topics such as, the
benefits of family dinners, and consequences and behavioral
expectations. It also covers the very specific and timely issues
of Internet and chat room safety, drug and alcohol awareness,
and the pervasive violence of some TV shows, movies, music and
video games.

Each chapter or lesson is topic specific with conversation
vignettes that set up issues and provide relevant solution
focused guidance. Not only is this book a useful reference for
parents and teachers, anticipating future situations and
problems at home or in school, it is also a comprehensive guide
for current issues facing any parent or teacher today.

Ms. Farias repeatedly draws the distinction between children and
parents, emphasizing the importance of parental responsibility
in setting boundaries, disciplining consistently, following
through on consequences, and rewarding genuine effort and
achievement. This book is recommended for the Blended Family
Library in our quest to help you raise responsible, productive,
confident and happy kids.
