Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten: Raise IQ by up to 30 points and turn on your child's smart genes

2011-07-15T02:56:00.000-07:00

Nature didn’t finish your child’s brain at birth. It’s up to you to maximize your child’s mental skills without causing additional stress. Acclaimed neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, offers these valuable tools:

Simple games to reinforce memory pathways in the brain

Information on common household products and children’s toys that contain brain-damaging neurotoxins

The right foods and supplements to boost intelligence and turn on your child’s smart genes

How to turn the television, the computer, and video games into educational tools

Proven ways to reduce the risk of your child developing ADD and ADHD

Between birth and age five, your child has up to thirty IQ points at stake. Scientists now know that the human brain is undergoing a constant and dramatic transformation in the first years of life. During this peak time of development, every activity and experience leaves an indelible mark on your baby’s brain, for better or worse. The right kind of stimulation and nutrition will create connections in the brain that promote intelligence and raise IQ. The wrong kinds of activities and foods can stifle intellectual development, destroy brain cells, and leave your child more vulnerable to learning or behavior problems down the road. So, what can you do during the first five years to ensure that your child is primed to excel?

The good news is that raising a smarter child is easier than you think. It doesn’t require making an investment in expensive equipment or high priced tutors. It’s as simple as playing the right games, serving the right foods, and maintaining a brain-enhancing environment in your home by eliminating common household toxins. In Raise a Smarter Child by Kindergarten by Dr. David Perlmutter, you’ll learn easy and highly effective strategies that can vastly improve your child’s brain power and reduce his or her chances of developing ADD and ADHD. For example, you can:

Stimulate Memory: Changing a component on the over-the-crib mobile every week makes the baby compare what was there before to what’s there now, reinforcing memory pathways in the brain that are critical for learning.

Spread out those shots: Schedule more frequent trips to the pediatrician for vaccinations, so that fewer shots are administered at once. Flooding the immune system with a cocktail of different vaccines can damage the nervous system.

Get rid of toxins: Protecting a child from neurotoxins found in foods, toys and even baby bottles can help preserve precious IQ points.

Inside, Dr. Perlmutter provides a scientifically backed food and supplement plan for children and nursing mothers and details the many brain-building activities that you can do with your child. In addition, he reveals the numerous toys and household products that contain harmful, brain-damaging toxins and shows how to identify and combat common childhood problems like ADD and food allergies that may affect your child’s development.

Your job over the first five years is to help your child build the best brain possible. With Dr. Perlmutter’s help, you can mine the countless opportunities you have each day to make your child smarter, happier and better prepared to excel.

IQ and Global Inequality

2011-07-14T22:30:00.000-07:00

From the Preface: We address the following questions. First, in Chapter 1, we review the major theories of economic growth that have been developed since this problem was considered by Charles de Montesquieu and Adam Smith in the eighteenth century and introduce the 192 countries of this study. In Chapter 2 we define and describe what is meant by intelligence. In Chapter 3, we summarise work showing that intelligence is a determinant of incomes and related phenomena (educational attainment and socio-economic status) among individuals in a number of countries; this is the basis of our theory that the intelligence of national populations is likely to be a determinant of per capita incomes among nations. Chapter 4 describes how we have collected and quantified the IQs of nations and presents new IQ data for a further 32 nations. This brings the total number of nations for which we have measured IQs to 113. In addition, national IQs are estimated for 79 other countries so that we have IQs for all countries with populations of more than 40,000. In Chapter 5, five measures of the quality of human conditions and their composite index (QHC) are introduced as well as 12 alternative variables that measure human conditions from different perspectives. In Chapter 6, the hypothesis on the positive relationship between national IQ and the quality of human conditions is tested by empirical evidence on PPP GNI (Gross National Income at Purchasing Power Parity) per capita in 2002, adult literacy rate in 2002, tertiary enrollment ratio, life expectancy at birth in 2002, and the level of democratization in 2002. Chapter 7 focuses on the relationship between national IQ and the composite index of the quality of human conditions (QHC) The results are analyzed at the level of single countries on the basis of regression analyses. The results are checked by exploring the impact of latitude and annual mean temperature on human conditions through national IQ. Chapter 8 shows that national

The Global Bell Curve: Race, IQ, and Inequality Worldwide

2011-07-13T22:54:00.000-07:00

Richard Lynn s new book shows that in many multi-racial countries, people of Jewish and East Asian ancestry average highest in IQ and socio-economic position, Whites next highest, South Asians and Hispanics next highest, and people of African descent consistently average at lower levels. Lynn argues that the average population group differences in socio-economic position (education levels, earnings, welfare dependency) are due to their average differences in intelligence. Since these differences also translate into fertility patterns, with the lowest IQ populations having more children, the specter of a dysgenic future is raised. Altogether the issues are discussed separately across 13 countries or areas of the world: the United States, Africa, Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Latin America, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.

I, Q: Independence Hall

2011-07-08T22:47:00.000-07:00

Thirteen-year-old Quest (Q) isn’t sure he’s ready for a new family. For a long time it’s just been him and his mom, Blaze. But everything changes when Blaze falls in love with Roger and they start a new rock band called Match. Now they’re married, have a hit record, and Match is going out on a year-long driving tour across the country.

Q, along with new stepsister Angela, will take a year off from school and travel with the band. For now, home will be a luxury motor coach and homework will be a Web site diary of their travels. Perfect-Q can practice his magic tricks and Angela can read her spy novels. What can go wrong?

As Q and Angela settle into their new life and new relationship as siblings, they start to notice that certain coincidences don’t seem coincidental. For example, how does a band roadie named Boone find them in the middle of a desert where their coach just happens to break down? Why does a man from their parents’ wedding keep showing up in the same cities they stop at? When they reach Philadelphia, Q and Angela realize this tour is definitely not the trip their parents had planned and that the “City of Brotherly Love” is full of mysteries and secrets that could threaten their new life together.

I, Q: The White House

2011-07-08T13:59:00.000-07:00

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue:
There was another knock on my door. I opened it.
Standing in the hallway was a very serious Secret Service agent.
“The President would like to see you both in the Oval Office,“ he said.
“Now?” I asked. It was 3 a.m.
He gave me a curt nod.
“Maybe we should change,“ I said.
“You’re fine,“ the agent said. “He’s waiting. Follow me.”
Angela and I were going to meet the president of the United States in our pj’s.

In Book One: Independence Hall, we met Q and his stepsister, Angela. We met their rocker parents, Blaze and Roger; we met the Secret Service team protecting the family; and we met the main players of the Mossad team that is following them.

Book Two takes us on another thrilling caper, this time to the White House where Q and Angela continue their quest to uncover the truth behind the supposed death of Angela’s real mother - a former Secret Service agent - while trying to differentiate the “good guys” from the “bad guys.”

The Genius in All of Us: New Insights into Genetics, Talent, and IQ

2011-07-06T22:05:00.000-07:00

With irresistibly persuasive vigor, David Shenk debunks the long-standing notion of genetic “giftedness,” and presents dazzling new scientific research showing how greatness is in the reach of every individual.

DNA does not make us who we are. “Forget everything you think you know about genes, talent, and intelligence,” he writes. “In recent years, a mountain of scientific evidence has emerged suggesting a completely new paradigm: not talent scarcity, but latent talent abundance.”

Integrating cutting-edge research from a wide swath of disciplines—cognitive science, genetics, biology, child development—Shenk offers a highly optimistic new view of human potential. The problem isn't our inadequate genetic assets, but our inability, so far, to tap into what we already have. IQ testing and widespread acceptance of “innate” abilities have created an unnecessarily pessimistic view of humanity—and fostered much misdirected public policy, especially in education.

The truth is much more exciting. Genes are not a “blueprint” that bless some with greatness and doom most of us to mediocrity or worse. Rather our individual destinies are a product of the complex interplay between genes and outside stimuli-a dynamic that we, as people and as parents, can influence.

This is a revolutionary and optimistic message. We are not prisoners of our DNA. We all have the potential for greatness.

Maximize Your IQ

2011-07-06T17:48:00.000-07:00

Ranging from the challenging to the downright diabolical, these IQ tests from the puzzle editors of Mensa Magazine stretch brainpower to the limits of its endurance. That’s why they’re so effective at adding vital points to your IQ score. All it takes is a little tenacity and practice to work through these hundreds of questions, which assess verbal and mathematical skills, plus general knowledge and logic. Several “culture free” examples use diagrammatic problems rather than language, thus overcoming any linguistic barriers. The different types of questions include classifications (where you find the odd one out in a word list or group of figures); synonyms and antonyms; analogies; visual matrixes; and sequences. A scoring chart and answers are included.

Outsmarting IQ: The Emerging Science of Learnable Intelligence

2011-07-06T13:42:00.000-07:00

Since the turn of the century, the idea that intellectual capacity is fixed has been generally accepted. But increasingly, psychologists, educators, and others have come to challenge this premise. Outsmarting IQ reveals how earlier discoveries about IQ, together with recent research, show that intelligence is not genetically fixed. Intelligence can be taught.

David Perkins, renowned for his research on thinking, learning, and education, identifies three distinct kinds of intelligence: the fixed neurological intelligence linked to IQ tests; the specialized knowledge and experience that individuals acquire over time; and reflective intelligence, the ability to become aware of one's mental habits and transcend limited patterns of thinking. Although all of these forms of intelligence function simultaneously, it is reflective intelligence, Perkins shows, that affords the best opportunity to amplify human intellect. This is the kind of intelligence that helps us to make wise personal decisions, solve challenging technical problems, find creative ideas, and learn complex topics in mathematics, the sciences, management, and other areas. It is the kind of intelligence most needed in an increasingly competitive and complicated world.

Using his own pathbreaking research at Harvard and a rich array of other sources, Perkins paints a compelling picture of the skills and attitudes underlying learnable intelligence. He identifies typical pitfalls in multiple perspectives, and neglecting evidence. He reveals the underlying mechanisms of intelligent behavior. And he explores new frontiers in the development of intelligence in education, business, and other settings.

This book will be of interest to people who have a personal or professional stake in increasing their intellectual skills, to those who look toward better education and a more thoughtful society, and not least to those who follow today's heated debates about the nature of intelligence.

Whether we're selling a product, presenting an idea, asking for a raise, or influencing someone to be a better person, persuasion is the magic ingredient. Yet despite the fact that much has changed in recent years regarding how people are persuaded - having become more discerning due to an onslought of countless persuasive messages through e-mail, TV, and other media every day - many of us continue to use outdated techniques for convincing others...or worse yet, have no technique at all.Kurt Mortensen, through his Persuasion Institute, has sought out and studied the world's top persuaders, and with his specially formulated "Persuasion I.Q" assessment - the most comprehensive persuasion resource available today - he lets readers in on the essential habits, traits, and skills necessary to cultivate their natural persuasive abilities.

Emotional Intelligence: 10th Anniversary Edition; Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

2011-07-03T04:05:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our "two minds"—the rational and the emotional—and how they together shape our destiny.

Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart.

The best news is that "emotional literacy" is not fixed early in life. Every parent, every teacher, every business leader, and everyone interested in a more civil society, has a stake in this compelling vision of human possibility.

IQ: A Smart History of a Failed Idea

2011-07-02T14:12:00.000-07:00

Advance praise for

IQ A Smart History of a Failed Idea

"An up-to-date, reader-friendly account of the continuing saga of the mismeasure of women and men."
—Howard Gardner, author of Frames of Mind and Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons

"The good news is that you won't be tested after you've read Stephen Murdoch's important new book. The better news is that IQ: A Smart History of a Failed Idea is compelling from its first pages, and by its conclusion, Murdoch has deftly demonstrated that in our zeal to quantify intelligence, we have needlessly scarred—if not destroyed—the lives of millions of people who did not need an IQ score to prove their worth in the world. IQ is first-rate narrative journalism, a book that I hope leads to necessary change."
—Russell Martin, author of Beethoven's Hair, Picasso's War, and Out of Silence

"With fast-paced storytelling, freelance journalist Murdoch traces now ubiquitous but still controversial attempts to measure intelligence to its origins in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. . . . Murdoch concludes that IQ testing provides neither a reliable nor a helpful tool in understanding people's behavior, nor can it predict their future success or failure. . . . A thoughtful overview and a welcome reminder of the dangers of relying on such standardized tests."
—Publishers Weekly

"Stephen Murdoch delivers a lucid and engaging chronicle of the ubiquitous and sometimes insidious use of IQ tests. This is a fresh look at a century-old and still controversial idea—that our human potential can be distilled down to a single test score. Murdoch's compelling account demands a reexamination of our mania for mental measurement."
—Paul A. Lombardo, author of Three Generations, No Imbeciles: Eugenics, the Supreme Court & Buck v. Bell

IQ Testing 101 (Psych 101)

2011-07-02T09:24:00.000-07:00

While the use of intelligence tests is widespread, they are not without controversy. IQ supporters see IQ measures as valid predictors of academic success, capable of proving real differences in intellectual abilities and influencing educational policy. IQ critics such as Robert Sternberg and Howard Gardner believe that IQ is a limited measure of intelligence and that a truer picture should incorporate more cultural and contextual factors.

Alan Kaufman, a fellow of four divisions of the American Psychological Association, is a centrist in this debate. As a protégé of David Wechsler, Kaufman is a firmer believer in the goal of IQ tests, but believes that the system of IQ testing needs serious improvements. This provocative and controversial book tracks both sides of this ongoing debate. Kaufman provides a historical overview of IQ testing, and approaches both sides of the debate with critical questions, including:

How do heredity and our cultural environment influence our intelligence?
How does aging affect intelligence?
Are IQ tests irrelevant for Learning Disability Assessment?
What Will IQ Tests Be Like in 2030?

The Psych 101 Series

Short, reader-friendly introductions to cutting-edge topics in psychology. With key concepts, controversial topics, and fascinating accounts of up-to-the-minute research, The Psych 101 Series is a valuable resource for all students of psychology and anyone interested in the field.

REVIEWS:

"In IQ Testing 101, Alan Kaufman gives a well thought out, articulate account of the historical development of intelligent IQ testing. It provides non-expert readers, like me, with a better understanding of IQ and its important clinical ramifications. Kaufman's engaging style of presentation makes you feel as if you are in the thick of this important field of inquiry..."

--Jeffrey W. Kirsch, PhD
Executive Director
Reuben H. Fleet Science Center

"This impressive book is replete with meaningful material, wonderful anecdotes, excellent examples, profound truths, and solid empiricism, backed an abundance of clinical experience....This volume provides an outstanding introduction and a great refresher for readers interested in the topic of intelligence and its assessment."

--Bruce A. Bracken, PhD
The College of William & Mary

"Professor Kaufman has made this remarkably accessible for all readers by using a personal journey of discovery style. So, whether you are a clinical psychologist or an interested lay person, 101 will tell you everything you wanted to know about IQ testing; don't be afraid to read it."

--Thomas Dillon, PhD
Group Senior Vice President retired
Science Applications International Corporation

"Dr. Kaufman's superb writing makes one feel he is in the room talking to you....Psychologists, parents, educators and research scientists could all profit from reading this most important work by a master writer and thinker."

--Sara S. Sparrow, PhD
Yale University Child Study Center

"Kaufman provides an outstanding look at the field of intelligence and intelligence testing in a manner that is understandable and at the same time very sophisticated....with a marvelous mixture of science, good sense, his own experience as a test developer, and a dose of humor."

--Jack A. Naglieri, PhD
Senior Research Scientist
Devereux Center for Resilient Children

"IQ Testing 101 is a must read for anyone (including IQ test administrators) looking for a clear, erudite, thought provoking, even entertaining introduction to the important issues surrounding IQ including the definitions, measurements, and development of human intelligence. So much is at stake with IQ testing and these ideas cannot be ignored. "

--Scott Barry Kaufman, PhD (unrelated)
Yale University, Dept of Psychology
Co-Editor of The Cambridge Handbook of Intelligence (with Robert J. Sternberg) "[T]his book will find its way into many college syllabi, not only because of the depth and breath of its coverage, but because of the wonderful way in which Dr Kaufman is able to make a difficult, often misunderstood topic so clear and thoroughly enjoyable."

--Ron Dumont, EdD, NCSP
Director of the Masters and Doctoral Programs in School Psychology
Fairleigh-Dickinson University

Intelligence and the Brain: Solving the Mystery of Why People Differ in IQ and How a Child Can Be a Genius (Psychological Testing Measurem)

2011-07-02T00:07:00.000-07:00

Presenting a breakthrough new explanation of human intelligence-one rigorously based on the latest scientific discoveries-this book turns the corner and finally provides a resolution to the hot debate over intelligence. Intelligence and the Brain does this by rejecting some of the most common beliefs about intelligence, including that intelligence should be defined by behavior or that intelligence is just memory. Instead, it argues that intelligence reflects the ability to understand. It then uses recent scientific findings about the brain to show how changes in the brain lead to understanding. Readers will find that this book contains many revelations that will profoundly change their perception of how their own brain works.

This book will also explore the startling implication of a "sensitive period" for developing intelligence, arguing that children can learn differently to adults. It will also refute common misconceptions about the brain, including the idea that the first five years of life are the most critical and having more neurons and connections are better. It turns out that late childhood can be the most important for future success and having fewer neurons and connections can be better than more!

It's all here… for every caring parent, educator, and general reader interested in how the brain works, why people differ in intelligence, and how a child can be a genius.

Change Tests and Assessments to Taking Career

2011-06-01T06:29:00.000-07:00

Career test is a great tool to define your career choice. If you are not satisfied with your job this tool can help. Since job satisfaction is the way to a peak performance it is critical that you choose a career that offers yourself every opportunity to excel. And career assessments are the answer when it comes to selecting the perfect career. Assessment tests use a series of questions about your interests, about your style of working, and how you interact with other people. Questionnaires are an important part of career assessment tools. These questionnaires and their scoring system were rigorously designed to provide the most accurate results.

Testing methodologies vary but in general, career tests ask a battery of questions that attempt to distinguish many things. They clarify your interests as well as match your skills and competencies to specific fields. They try to identify your strong points and individual work style to determine whether you like certain jobs and if you will be successful in that position. One popular type of tests is career aptitude tests. These tests measure your skills you have learned so far in life and your areas of potential.

A personality test is another type of career assessment tests. They help discover what your work personality is and find a career for you by performing a research on hundreds of careers. If you spend some time taking a career personality test or two, you'll get several career options to help you consider how they may fit with your personality.

Career testing programs can assist young professionals, mid-career professionals, seasoned professionals and high school & college students to find the right career for each individual. When you take a career quiz you may be surprised at what your test reveals, especially if you have been in your current career for many years. Quizzes cannot provide magic answers but they help you to have a better understanding of your vocational identity and thus to seek and generate additional career options. They help you scan a wider range of possibilities than you might be able to imagine on your own.

If you want to change career, taking some career change tests can help you choose your ultimate career choice. Using many career options that you get from various career tests you then search your soul and ask yourself some tough questions to determine which career is right for you.

Deciding Your right career test with 7 criteria

2011-06-01T06:22:00.000-07:00

One of the best ways to get clear is to complete a career assessment. Yet there are literally hundreds of career tests out there. Is a career test the same as an aptitude test? What about a career personality test? This article clarifies the differences and presents 7 criteria for deciding which career test is best for you.

#1 Career test vs. personality test

Is the assessment specifically designed to provide career guidance?

Personality tests only tell you about your character traits whereas a career assessment gives specific career advice. Of course, it helps to know whether you're an extrovert or an introvert and perceive by sensing or intuition. Personality tests such as the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Enneagram are quite useful as background information. Making the leap from simple awareness of your personality type to specific career strategies is very difficult, however. If you want a new job or career, it's better to take an assessment that is specifically geared to providing career guidance.

#2 Specific vs. general

Does the career assessment give concrete recommendations that you can use immediately rather than vague observations that are open to interpretation and not actionable? Aside from the change itself, the hardest part of changing careers is narrowing down your choices. But if you don't get specific, you won't be able to take action. A good assessment should not be general like the astrological horoscopes in the newspaper.

#3 Motivation rules: why motivation is a better indicator than aptitude or personality

Does the career assessment measure motivation?

Motivation is a far better career indicator than skill or personality because what you like to do is what you WILL do and what you will get very good at (if you aren't already). Why force a square peg into a round hole?

When you base your decisions on what motivates you, you'll probably feel much more fulfilled, and be much more successful, too.

#4 Where's the beef?

Even if you're a vegetarian, you'll want "meaty" results! A good career assessment should include hard data, as well as sufficient detail and explanation to help you interpret the results.

#5 Do you believe it?

Is the career assessment scientifically valid? An effective career assessment should have a high predictive reliability. Such things can be measured statistically. Anything over 95% is quite good.

Statistical validity is important for a number of reasons. Obviously, you want to feel that the assessment provides an accurate picture of what motivates you and you don't want to be misled by grossly inaccurate results. But another point is that when the results are believable this provides a boost to your self-confidence. In my case, I was relieved and encouraged to see from my results that I had chosen the correct career path. It was a kind of confirmation or validation: "Whew! What a relief!"

Remember that ultimately it's up to you to decide whether a set of results makes sense or not. However, it helps to use a highly reliable assessment.

#6 Can you get from A to Z?

Are additional tools available to help you take your results and develop a clear career roadmap for yourself?

Honestly, a lot of people take career tests and get brilliant insights. Unfortunately, many of these same people are never able to turn their insights into results. What's needed is a support infrastructure of materials and people to help you apply your results over time.

#7 Is it fast?

Even in the internet age, there still are a lot of tests that you can only take on paper. It takes 30 minutes or even over an hour to take the test. Then you have to wait while the test is scored and processed. You may only get your results after several days or weeks.

Breathwork can truly reduce Stress? A review of the book of breath-for the modern woman

2011-05-31T01:12:00.000-07:00

Yogis, Buddhists exalt relaxation and all the virtues of breath to relieve stress and support the work of breath Unlocks compromising health models of stress. I've never been able to experience the power of breath, as they say. Take a breath and then feel more serene, sometimes even more centered, but to make a daily habit of not breathe deeply never appealed to me. Quite frequently, I forgot to take the time to breathe deeply.

The book of 2009, "breathing: twelve lessons for the modern woman" from Katrina Repka yoga teacher and master yogi Alan Finger finally opened my eyes (and my lungs) to potential breathing techniques.

Repka is an initial thirty-something woman who leaves her marketing career and the hometown of Calgary, Canada to test its merits in New York City. His friends and family, shocked by his decision, he wondered, "How can You uproot herself like that at the time when she ought to be settling down and starting a family? How could she give up a good job, promising romantic prospects and more importantly, we? " Although his motives were not intended by his family, Repka had been lured to New York City since childhood. One day, with all its courage and little support, she left for the big city.

"My life in Manhattan would have to be the exact opposite of my life in Calgary, Alberta. I would be thinner, smarter, happier, hipper. My job would be glamorous, my days and nights, full of enthusiasm and fascinating new friends. I wasn't going to settle for comfortable routine that had threatened to smother me in my old hometown. "*

Once settled in New York and adapted to the pace and attractions has discovered that brought his old Calgary itself all the way to New York. His new, glamorous New York car was not easy to hold on, no matter how many shoes Prada has bought. Reservations and old insecurities, she bombarded squeaks louder than the noise of the big city. His old self doubts and restlessness was always in the way. He struggled with questions about who she really was, and what he wanted his life to be like. The answers, just as they did in Calgary, eluded her.

His frustration continued until she met yogi master Alan Finger. Finger ran a yoga studio in New York. The studio had many yoga and breathing finger offered private consultations, even if that Repka, resembled psycho-therapy sessions.

The book of breath, is divided into chapters that focus on various sectors of growth so the reader can go quickly to a chapter of relevance for themselves. Some of the titles are:

Focus: the power of the breath to help you see yourself clearly;
Criticism: the power of breath for deleted self-destructive tendencies;
Faith: the power of breathing to overcome hesitations and connect with your truth.

As a woman in my thirties, I found the trip Repka particularly relevant for my trip and finding a fulfilling life. Repka auto-delete and willing to share the mistakes and embarrassing moments with his readers, but don't be put off by his age. His explorations, struggles and victories are common among all women struggling with their identity and for those who want a life enriched.

Emotional health and safety for children

Many petty issues are increasingly addressed under the 'Health and Safety' umbrella. This article explores the need for the emotional wellbeing of very young children to be recognized and highlighted.

Health and Safety issues, when they apply to conditions at the work place - minimum temperatures, clean air conditions, safe mechanical conditions, smoke- free workplace and such like, are absolutely essential. There have always been people who exploit others for greed and gain, minimizing safety to make more money and, on the other hand, those who fight for equality and fairness. Concern for workers reaches far back in time. It is reported that Hippocrates, in the 4th century BC noted that lead miners tended to suffer from diseases.

Children used to work long hours in factories, up chimneys and down the mines. Life expectancy was limited for these a few centuries ago in Britain. Sadly child labor continues in parts of the world today. The Factory Act of 1833 in England banned the employment of children under 9 and restricted the working hours of older children.

The dire conditions of life for many children and teenagers in Britain in the past (and these conditions remain in the present day in some parts of the world) should not be forgotten by those growing up in today's liberal and permissive society. Today's teenagers should know about these aspects of history and realize their relative good fortune and also be reminded of the sacrifices of the many 18-21 yrs olds who have died fighting for their continued freedom.

If an accident happens and the conditions were dangerous and negligent then litigation is both reasonable and necessary for the victim - against the ones responsible. But in very recent years, 'health and safety' has taken a different turn, and now presents as an increasingly repressive role in simple childhood activities. It appears that many of these 'health and safety' issues are motivated more by fear of litigation than the welfare of those concerned.

Almost every day there is another ludicrous 'ban' in some area of the country - e.g. after very many years of tradition children couldn't sing carols in a shopping center at Christmas. Why? Because they could possibly block the way out of the center - in case it had to be evacuated. Children should wear goggles if they play conkers. They should NOT wear goggles in the swimming pool - the latter restricting those who actually need goggles to protect their eyes from the chemicals. Children should not run in playgrounds in case they hurt themselves in the process. And so the list is added to - daily. Yet, there are major issues which, in my opinion, need to be addressed urgently and which are ignored or accepted.

I worked as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist for 35 yrs, specializing in treating adults who had unresolved traumas, often from childhood events. The effects of the traumas were anxiety, depression - of varying degrees, and phobias. I treated many people who had been traumatized by accidents e.g. on the roads, or at work, or who had been involved in a disaster.

But I can say that never, in all my years of work, did I work with anyone traumatised by falling over and hurting themselves in a playground or such childhood activities. Yes, of course, children should be supervised to keep them safe - that is of paramount importance - but should be allowed to play games. Running about to release energy, keep fit and enjoy their play is essential to development in all aspects. Children have to learn how to run and not fall, how to take risks - but, with supervision, they learn to do activities safely. Unless lessons in life, including physical activities, are gradually taught and confidence learned, how is a child to become equipped to face adult life with its challenges? Some things can't be learned in the classroom or from books or suddenly 'known' when needed in adult life. Capabilities are built with trial, testing the boundaries and practice.

However, I did have very many patients who suffered anxiety from 'being or feeling lost' in early childhood, and from grief due to death or the disappearance of a parent. I saw many as adults who had been traumatized by bullying at school, or suffered abuse - whether physically, mentally or sexually. I saw those who had suffered stress from too high expectations and many who lacked confidence. I saw those who had been affected adversely from lack of love - real or apparent - from their parents.

Yet, where is the 'health and safety' fight on behalf of the emotional wellbeing of children?

Who makes a stand for the tiny tots (under two and a half yrs of age) in large nurseries all day - at an age before they can learn who people are or where they are and are 'lost'? Physically they may be looked after very well, but, and I speak as a psychiatrist, the potential for emotional trauma is overlooked. No one seems to bat an eyelid - as long as the young child is clean and well fed. Recent reports have questioned the actual safety for children in many nurseries, yet parents leave them there, frequently all day. I heard of parents recently who 'were not happy with how their child was being looked after at all-day nursery' but decided 'to wait another term'! What would that child have said, if he/she could?

These children adapt and learn to cope, as they have no option but to do so. But, in my opinion, they may pay a price and so will society. The capacity for deep and loving feelings, about themselves and others, is developed from birth. A child needs loving and gentle nurturing by a few people who love them. They do not develop a strong and resilient core identity if left with strangers all day, and if they see a parent for only an hour or two per day.

A friend was traveling on a train and listened to the conversation of the other women in the carriage - it became apparent that they had very young children who they saw for 30-40 minutes in a morning and put to bed at night. Is that what motherhood means? In the present climate of beliefs, with the importance of status, financial problems, career structures and hedonism, this is not uncommon. But, they have choice.

The tiny tots have no choice.

Many older children are going to school for breakfast and staying until after their evening meal - they literally just sleep at home. These hours away from home are, in my opinion, far too long. They may not be working in a factory or climbing the chimneys of old, but it is a form of 'work'. There is legislation for the maximum number of hours which adults work, why not for children being in 'compulsory' school 'care'? Many children do 'out of school' or early evening activities, and love them, but these are not compulsory or due to the parents being at work, but from choice. Therein is the difference. Many children don't even have the school holidays - but are sent to 'activities sessions' day in and day out and have no choice.

There is an underlying stress, however mild, when away from home - vigilance, an extra 'awareness'. Children should have time to play, read, be taken for walks, watch TV, be creative or literally, do nothing. The only children who should be compulsorily and without choice away from home before and after school hours are those whose parents are not fit to care for them, or if they are fortunate to be able to spend time with others who love them, e.g. grandparents.

Yet, there are no health and safety issues about these practices which are actually being encouraged by the government of the day. Is it 'do as I do' or 'do as I say'? Do the politicians who advocate nurseries for the under twos or prolongation of the 'at school' day behave to their children in the same way? I doubt it. If it is not suitable for their children then it is not suitable for any one else's. Some children eat all their meals at school - what happens to the 'family round the table' times, the continuous bonding as they grow older which will be invaluable in adult life?

My only wish is that those who make decisions for children - parents or those who legislate or dictate what should or should not be allowed - would do so with more understanding of a child's emotional needs and development. I prefer to think that ignorance plays a major role rather than political expediency where governments are concerned.

School holidays for parents, flexible working hours, part time training schemes and such like would enable parents to be parents rather than the ones who provide accommodation and food, while someone else is paid to do the 'child rearing'.

Children's emotional and physical wellbeing should be a priority, not second to material possessions of parents or for governmental votes. Government money can be spent for good or bad practice. There is no use trying different modes of learning, different curricula, or SATS in schools if children are stressed, unhappy, traumatized, 'switched off' or tired.

Children learn best when they are happy. It is the duty of the responsible adults - parents, teachers, carers to do their best to create that state of mind in the children for whom they care. Children need plenty of sleep, good wholesome food and rest from regimentation. They need 'breaks' from routine just as much as adults. They need to be read to, taken for walks and such like - activities that can cost very little in money terms but much more in time and effort. I have written a book, 'Growing Up', for parents to read to their children, giving simple messages of kindness, caring, courage and such qualities which lead to a happy and fulfilled life.

Children need parental time for caring, playing and learning the lessons which cannot be learned in the classroom - and before more parents lose the skill required. Parents need the time and inclination to spend time with their children - the government could help encourage this trend and make it possible, rather than providing other facilities where people 'stand in' for parents.

To those people, making petty restrictive rules and regulations under the 'health and safety umbrella', could I suggest that you learn about and concentrate on the issues that actually are important, damaging or potentially causing problems- the emotional issues.

Stand up for the tiny tots. Their emotional wellbeing is of paramount importance. Emotional harm has far reaching and lasting effects - I know as I worked in the psycho therapeutic field for 35 yrs. A bruised knee will be healed in a few days.

Dr Audrey Coatesworth was, for 35yrs, a Psychiatrist, and is now retired from medical practice.She specialized in psychotherapy, in particular the treatment of unresolved traumas. Her special interest in this field was the phenomenon of dissociation - related to traumas in childhood. Her articles are written out of concern, and from experience and knowledge.They are not research papers, but her opinion of relevant issues. She now writes. Her poetry books (three published so far - Growing Up, Coping with Illness and Grief, and Choice for Teenagers) are intended to continue her therapeutic work through the medium of rhyming verse and metaphor.

Drug rehabilitation programs that work and their statistics

2011-05-30T15:57:00.000-07:00

Drug and alcohol addiction ruined families. Most of the calls that I get is the expensive drug and alcohol abusers, not the abusers themselves. Parents, spouses and children of abusers suffer more. They are the ones calling for help.

As an aid to people, I work for, here's a study I did on rehabilitation programs, their costs and effectiveness.

First clarification of rehabilitation programs:

95% of rehabilitation centers follow a 12-step approach to medical rehabilitation; aka "you've got a disease, to accept that and we can help you reduce the problems"
5% USE alternative social, Educational, self-help, empowerment, psycho-socio-behavioral recovery methods
The success rate of the national media in the United States and Canada is about 22%. This is lower in my hometown (10%) according to our past Mayor

Why is it important? For those of you strong in math, you'll realize immediately that most rehabilitation programs or traditional rehabilitation, it is always a majority of patrons rehab relapsing back to abuse with 75% + returning to abusive practices. I think the term ' dry ' spin occurred due to this fact.

What about the remaining 5% of the methods of rehabilitation program?

I made a list of some of their success rates and costs. By the way, believe in focusing on what works and have made my career to find alternative programs (non-12 Step and non-medical) that actually end dependency.

If you're looking for results, then we're both on the same page.

4 rehabilitation programs or strategies that work

Use of emergency interventions and cage (see "Drug Addiction test you can do Right Now" Palatinus) reduced damages to individuals of 47% (6 months). These approaches of intervention are usually made by professionals, doctors and therapists
Motivational interviewing, a method of social and educational rehabilitation, is showing promise
Bio-physical combined with social or educational approaches change the style of life. These long-term success of 70% to 90%. Usually take an average of 1 to 6 months. Prices range from $ 6,000 to $ 18,000 per month
Alternative, result-oriented ' high-end ' rehabilitation centers. Costs are $ 40,000 + per month, gets the long-term recovery of 70-80%
So why aren't more people using these methods?

Centres or do a lot of money for the centers or therapists and not enough internally promote aka ' lobbyists '; the centres are available or to those of higher levels of income only. Being the new kids on the block, not often funded by health plans et al., both types are relatively unknown.
People in crisis don't often think rationally. I'm talking now families in crisis of drug or alcohol abusing their loved ones. States of shock may last longer than many suspect. Some are in a State of shock for years following a crisis.

The lesson to be learned here: realize that you're in a difficult time if you have a loved one abusing drugs/alcohol. This will be one day, but you can afford the cost of doing nothing, or the same thing and get similar results?

Drug rehab programs work if done correctly. Rehabilitation professionals, especially those impartial to the traditional methods of recovery, ' because that is how they recovered, can greatly improve your chances of having a happy conclusion to treatment.

High school students who transition to college find themselves facing a whole new set of challenges. Unfamiliar with the college system, they are prone to making poor judgments. Because college proceeds so rapidly (a typical semester is fifteen weeks), a few poor decisions can produce dire consequences. The list below should help students make decisions that bode for success.

1. Find a college that offers the services of a Learning Specialist by appointment. Learning Specialists are trained to break down concepts into their simplest parts and use "tricks" that make learning easier and more efficient. They often work "hands-on" with students. The tutoring lab for the general college population is usually not effective for freshmen with disabilities.

2. Students who received learning support in high school usually require tutoring by a Learning Specialist three times per week... until they get their "sea legs". For each college credit, students have 2-3 hours of work outside of class. Unlike high school, college assignments require interpretation and inference. Tutoring improves these skills and gradually readies students for independence. After several semesters, students may need tutoring less frequently.

3. Practice for college placement tests: English, math and reading (Google "Accuplacer" practice). Placement tests determine the level at which you may begin your courses. Find out in advance if a calculator is permitted for the math exam - many colleges do not allow it. In that case, you need to review long division, multiplication, fractions, decimals, etc. the old-fashioned way - don't be caught off-guard. If you are not satisfied with the results of your exams and feel they are not representative of your abilities, ask if you may take the tests again.

4. Update your documentation, if it is older than three years, and submit it to the Disability Services office at the college of your choice shortly after you receive your acceptance letter. High schools often administer new psycho-educational evaluations for students transitioning to college, but you will probably have to request it. If your high school does not test, find a recommended school psychologist who does psycho-educational evaluations. Unlike in high school, you can rest assured that your disability will remain confidential. You will attend regular classes; none of your peers will know of your disability unless you decide to tell them. What are the benefits of disclosure? It allows you to receive accommodations (i.e., extra time, a distraction-free test environment, assistive technology, etc) and services, such as specialized tutoring, that level the playing field, boost your confidence, and, hopefully, start you off with a strong GPA (grade point average). In addition, students who disclose receive protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act, unlike those who do not. Those who try things on their own first, without disclosing, often do poorly because they lack knowledge of college protocol and sensible navigational strategies. By the time they ask for help, it is often too late. The result can be that it takes many semesters before they are able to raise their low GPAs.

5. Attend freshman orientation but also attend the LD orientation offered by most colleges. While some of the information overlaps, there are essentials to be gained from both.

6. Register as early as possible each semester. Some schools give priority registration to students with learning disabilities. Early registration provides the most choices. It is preferable to register in the Disability Services office where your classes can be hand-picked by someone who knows your learning style and how much you can reasonably handle.

7. Consider taking a reduced course load, at least your first semester. Set yourself up for success until you are sure you can handle the new demands placed on you. It will do wonders for your confidence! Your health insurance will not be in jeopardy -- the disability coordinator can write a letter to your insurance company indicating you are full-time with fewer credits due to a disability.

8. Never register yourself (self-advise)! The Disability office is there to give you advice regarding all academic decisions. Use it.

9. If Freshman Seminar is required, take it your first semester. You will learn the ropes, and it will make future semesters easier.

10. Schedule school according to your biological clock. In other words, take classes when you are most alert and know you can get there on time.

11. Take more difficult classes on Monday/Wednesday/Friday and easier classes on Tuesday/Thursday. Even though your time spent in class is the same, it is easier to maintain attention for the shorter three-class-per-week schedule. Be sure to keep your schedule balanced, so challenging classes are offset by easier ones.

12. Schedule classes five days a week. Being in school every day serves as a constant reminder that education is your full-time job. It also allows you to partake in extra-curricular activities that increase your connection with school.

13. Listen to students' recommendations of professors and courses. If they match your learning style, ask your Learning Specialist or advisor about them.

14. Beware of summer and online (E-learning) courses. While it is natural to want to pick up additional credits in the summer, know that summer semesters are short, and the work comes on with the speed of a runaway freight train! It is advisable to take summer courses only in easier electives or areas in which you excel. Most importantly, if you failed a course in a 15-week semester, DO NOT retake it in the summer! How likely are you to understand it when it goes 2 ½ times as fast? Online courses carry their own risks. Generally, they are for the extremely disciplined student who doesn't need the structure and interaction of traditional classes. Also, for students accustomed to using tone and facial expression to augment comprehension, online classes will put you at a distinct disadvantage.

15. Speed should not be an objective in completing your degree. For students with learning differences, quality and speed are mutually exclusive; those who race usually finish with unimpressive GPAs.

16. Do not worry about choosing a major for your first 48 credits. Use that time to sample classes in various disciplines. You may want to take an online career inventory that demonstrates how your abilities and interests align.

17. When you choose a major, base it on something you love to do and do well. Believe it or not, hobbies can easily translate into careers - even video games and shopping. If you need guidance, go to the counseling center and ask them to administer an interest and/or personality inventory, such as Strong or Meyers-Briggs. This can be helpful in finding your direction.

18. Head to the library between and after classes. You can read over notes you just took. Reviewing notes within 24 hours helps material start its journey towards your long-term memory. Even if you have your own room at home, there are has more temptations than at the library, where you can get a carrel with sides or a private study room to stay focused. Ideally, you should study for as long as your attention span allows, even if it is just 20 minutes. Follow that with a 5-minute break and return to work. Research has shown that effective studying is done in short, frequent sessions when our attention is at its peak.

19. Study using flash cards and the coordinating website that appears on the back of your textbook. Flashcards worked in third grade, and they still work. They are effective because they show you what needs further review. If your handwriting is poor, find a free online site where you can make flashcards. For a one-time nominal fee, you can print out your cards. In addition, make use of the coordinating website that most textbook publishers now offer. These sites contain interactive activities and practice tests that provide feedback on how well you know the material. Also, some books come with CD-ROMs containing interactive exercises. The last step in the study process should always be a practice test - it is a "dress rehearsal" for the real thing!

20. Get help at the first sign of confusion. Problems don't resolve themselves. With fewer tests in college, each one carries more weight. You can either make an appointment to see your instructor for clarification during his/her office hours or see your Learning Specialist. Evidence shows that students who have even just one close faculty contact have greater odds of success. Also, in class, sit near the most successful students who can help clarify things. Take their phone numbers. "Why would a successful student want to take time to help me?" you might ask. First of all, he/she will be flattered by your request. Secondly, helping you reinforces the information for your classmate, so it's a win/win situation.

21. If you do poorly on a test or quiz, determine why. If you do not find the source of your errors, you are destined to repeat them. Did you study the wrong material? Did you not study long enough to really learn the material? Did you misunderstand the directions? Did you cram? Were your notes incomplete?

22. At any time during a semester, you should know where you stand grade-wise. If you are unsure, ask your professors privately. You can also ask for suggestions on improving your grades. If you have done everything possible (i.e., getting help from your instructor, Learning Specialist, classmates, etc.) but are not in a position to pass a course, it is better to withdraw than take a "D" or "F". A "W" will not affect your GPA and has no stigma (unless it is done repeatedly). NOTE: Students on financial aid must be prudent about withdrawals - check with the financial aid office before withdrawing.

23. Socializing should be reserved for nights when you don't have school the following day. Going out on a school night is incompatible with school success for most students. Even if you are back early, you are "wired" - it is not the same as spending a quiet evening at home.

24. Keep employment to a minimum. Students with learning differences need to allot more time to studying. Sometimes organizational issues accompany a disability as well. Work is a distraction to students who have trouble "switching gears". College presents enough challenges without the added responsibilities of employment. Work should be restricted to no more than fifteen hours per week. Students can make up the money during lengthy winter and summer breaks.

25. Ring out the old, ring in the new! Forget your habits of the past. No one knows you -- wipe the slate clean and start fresh. Above all, get serious - this is the official start of your adult life!

In short, because of the vast number of differences between high school and college, all new freshmen are prone to unintentional navigational errors. For freshmen with disabilities, however, the consequences of these mistakes can be severe. Students who adhere to the above twenty-five rules are likely to increase their chances of academic success in their new college venue.

Joan M. Azarva, Ms.ED, an expert College Learning Specialist, parent of a successful adult son with LD/ADD, and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education has experience that spans three+ decades with students of all ages. In 1993, however, due to the well-documented low postsecondary success rate of students with learning disabilities, Joan decided to focus exclusively on the critical period of high school-to-college transition.

How to pass tests of the armed forces

2011-05-30T06:52:00.000-07:00

Psychometric tests have been in use in the armed forces for many years. They are simply used as a tool to assess the candidate's ability to perform specific tasks that are similar to those that need to take a real-life scenario. If we break down the word ' psychometric ' we can see that ' psycho ' and ' mind ' means a metric measure.

The selection tests vary depending on whether you apply to join the army, the Royal Air Force or Royal Navy. Not surprisingly, the test for the Royal Air Force are the toughest, simply because many of the roles within the force are highly technical in nature.

ARMY-British Army recruit battery Test (BARB)

The test is a psychometric assessment BARB, based on the computer that has been developed by the defence evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) and University of Plymouth. Is a series of timed questions to assess the suitability of a candidate to absorb information quickly and logically. The computer automatically calculates the score of the applicant, on the basis of the number of correct answers and the time spent. The final score is referred to as the GTI (indice General offhand). The BARB has been in use since July 1992. The pass mark for the BARB is currently 26, although you will need to confirm this with your local careers Office of the armed forces. This means that you must get 26 questions correct, but as mentioned previously, don't settle for just a minimum step. It is necessary to achieve a high score as possible as this will give you more career options depending on your academic results.

RAF-proof of select Airman/Airwoman

Test selection Airman/Airwoman (AST) consists of a number of different aptitude tests that are designed to assess which careers in the field of RAF more suited to. There are many career opportunities available and each of them requires a different skill level.

The AST consists of seven timed multiple choice aptitude test as follows:

-A verbal reasoning test that evaluates how well you can interpret written information. During this test you will have 15 minutes to answer 20 questions

-A numerical reasoning test, which determines how accurately you can interpret numeric information, such as charts, graphs and tables. The test will also examine the possibility of using fractions, decimals and various formulas. There are two parts to this test. During the first trial will be only 4 minutes to answer 12 questions that are based on fractions, decimals and formulas. During the second test will take 11 minutes to answer 15 questions that relate to different tables and charts

-A test of job rate that is used to assess how quickly and accurately you can carry out routine tasks. During this test you have 4 minutes to answer 20 questions

-A spatial reasoning tests designed to test your ability to work with objects and different forms. During this test you will have only 4 minutes to answer 10 questions

-A test of mechanical understanding that is used to evaluate how it can work effectively with different mechanical concepts. During this test, especially when you have 10 minutes to answer 20 questions

-A test of electrical understanding that will evaluate your ability to work with several electrical concepts. During this test you have 11 minutes to complete the 21 questions

-A memory test that determines how accurately you can remember and retrieve information. There are two parts to this test and you will have a total of 10 minutes in which to answer 20 questions

Royal Navy-Royal Navy recruitment Test

The main purpose of the Royal Navy Recruiting test is to determine how effective you are to understand the issues, because you are good at English and mathematics, and if you can understand the basic concepts. Just as the BARB, they show the Royal Navy what type of jobs will be more suitable.

The Royal Navy Recruiting test covers the following four areas:

• A test of reasoning (30 questions to be completed in 9 minutes)

• A test of verbal ability (30 questions to be completed in 9 minutes)

• A test of numerical computation (30 questions to be completed in 16 minutes)

• Mechanical reasoning test (30 questions to be completed in 10 minutes)

The tests are usually performed at the careers Office of the armed forces and will be timed to strict conditions. Details of the time limits and number of questions per year will be provided in your recruitment literature. The passing mark for recruitment Tests will depend a lot on RN level of technical expertise required for the post that apply for; Although a passing mark of 50% is usually sufficient for most branches.

Regardless of whether the service apply to join, I think it's good practice to work through sample test for all three armed forces.

How to pass tests of the armed forces, including sample army BARB test questions, RAF Airman test questions and Royal Navy tests.

Dream interpretation-how to get girls to like you

2011-05-30T02:04:00.000-07:00

You can use the interpretation of dreams to build comfort with a woman. And you definitely need comfort construction stage to seduce a girl. In fact, no matter which technique to use Palm-reading, the cube, psycho test or analysis of handwriting. This is to establish a deep connection between her and the girl. That is why the interpretation of dreams get any girl interested in a second: you're saying something without saying that she doesn't know. Or maybe it does, but no matter how everyone likes to hear about things (positive) themselves. Tell her what she wants to hear. In addition, you are helping to solve a problem, as she doesn't know what to say his dreams. Using this technique is not only building a deeper connection (emotional), but also shows the highest value, as only a few guys know about the interpretation of dreams.

So, what is the interpretation of dreams?

It is known that there are common dreams-dreams, dreams of flying that falling or dreams of Chase. Is the coolest thing here: everyone had these dreams at least once, then every girl can relate to things you're talking about. So, no matter if you can't remember his dreams real. Is more than enough that if you can tell what the following three means: dream symbols

1) Flying.

This symbol has two meanings: (A)) you want to experience the transcendence over your challenges in real life. B) crave for freedom from the limitations of their mental and emotional challenges. If you're afraid of feeling when you fly or you feel that you are flying too high, it means that you're afraid of success and challenges.

2) to fall.

Falling usually indicates instability, insecurity and anxieties. Dreaming that are falling is the fear of a loss of security or control, or a sudden lack of basis in your life. It indicates the fear of abandonment, especially feel abandoned by a "keeper" as a partner.

3) Chase.

If you dream that someone is chasing you, this is fear of criticism, persecution, hostility or aggression by another person or people in General. Chase dreams are your way of coping with fears, stress in your life. Instead of addressing the situation, he runs away and avoid it.

4) pregnancy.

Girls often have dreams of being pregnant. Usually, dreams of pregnancy are something new in her life that she is nurturing as a job, career, education, aso. Might also be his subconscious telling her that it is indeed pregnant!

P.S. If you have difficulty remembering your dreams, here's a hint: as you go to sleep, tell yourself that you want to remember your dreams. Keep paper and pen close by your bed so that you can record your dreams as they become available. Writing and the intention to improve the memory of your dream.

Sequel to the pain of a mother-the bully trained

2011-05-29T16:47:00.000-07:00

I received several written and oral responses to the previous article, "A Mother's Pain," which was published in the NH Bar News on March 13, 2009. The article was about a syndrome that I have seen as a lawyer over many years of practice. The syndrome: A Mother's Pain is where the mother of her male children is worked out of her boys' lives through pervasive influences where our Court System is ill equipped to address the issues. I asked the responders if I could quote them, without attribution. Some of the responses which I received were very poignant. All of the written responses, with one exception, were from mothers and lawyers, one was from a father.

I realize that the subject of my concern is clouded with extreme emotion and several of the stories elicited were quite emotional in content. On the father's side the issues raised were equally emotional. In fact an article appeared in the online edition of the Portsmouth Herald on Friday, March 27, 2009, entitled: "Father knows bitterness." A second article by Lily Robertson appeared a week later entitled "Who will speak for the fathers?" The writer in the second article poses an important question after saying that the custody determinations are usually left up to the GAL (guardian ad litem), here is what she wrote: "Here's what it takes to become a guardian ad litem: $100 and 44 hours of seminars. Would you trust your child's future to someone with those qualifications?"

This writer, in support of the fathers having equal or residential custodial rights, goes over the top with emotion and quotes Dr. Larry S. Milner in a paper entitled "The History of Infanticide" as saying that "...infanticide is usually committed by the mother." Obviously I wasn't writing about paranoia or crazed people about to murder their child or children. Her articles are so filled with extreme and dire gloom and doom for the family unit and the children that she leaves one with the impression that mothers are to be scorned by the courts, and she finished her paper with this profound wit: "When it comes to child custody cases, we may as well be holding them in Salem, Mass.,... in 1692."

In my legal experience of many years I have not identified any mother or father bent on infanticide if they didn't get custody or the time they requested, nor have any of my clients ridden off on a broomstick. However the intensity of the rather extreme positions taken in defense of fathers is another indication of the emotion that pervades child custody cases.

One lawyer who is completely dedicated to family law wrote to me: "It is our family courts who listen to underpaid and sometimes barely trying GALs who make the decisions. The law is not wrong as it requires the courts to deal with the issue of maturity. The reality is that they don't. The kid is 14, why bother, he's mature... it can be appealed but mom hasn't the money."

The NH Supreme Court has ruled that custody is an issue to be decided on a case by case basis and that an analysis must be done. An example of the Court missing the issues entirely: read the opinion in Larue v. (Larue) Bedard, 156 N.H. 378 (2007). The court decided an important custody issue involving modification of a visitation schedule on contract grounds, dismissing the trial court's efforts to make a determination on traditional custody standards used by family courts and family lawyers in such cases. See in RE Georgakilas, 157 N.H. 662 (2008). When dealing with a parenting plan that said the parties would have "equal or approximately equal" residential responsibility, our Supreme Court said that: "in interpreting the meaning of a divorce decree we review the decree de novo, Sommers v. Sommers, 143 N.H. 686, 692 (1999). We consider the intent of the parties as expressed in the language of the stipulation." I always am left to wonder why is it necessary for us who labor in the family law field to negotiate language in a stipulation which we lawyers understand and our client understand, but which is often interpreted to mean something different by an appellate court who doesn't know the parties or the full circumstances as to why words were used to reflect the parties' understanding of a custody arrangement. The Court simply dismisses such efforts with a "We know better attitude (those are my words). It seems that what the parties or their lawyers thought they had accomplished is different from what the Justices thought was meant.

In The Matter of Huff, 2008-326 (N.H. 3-5-2009). The Supreme Court performed an analysis where one parent, the father in this case, was incarcerated, but a fit parent, and the court distinguished between an "unfit incarcerated father" and a "fit incarcerated father." The court said that the right of parents to raise and care for their children is a fundamental liberty interest protected by Part I, Article 2 of the New Hampshire Constitution. Similarly, the United States Supreme Court has recognized that the "Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody and control of their children." Troxell v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 66 (2000). In Nelson & Horsely, 149 N.H., at 548, our court said: "Parents have a natural entitlement to the exclusive... management of their children."

The legislature has also set out certain rules for parents despite their "exclusive parental rights," namely RSA 461-A, Parental Rights and Responsibilities. The legislature in section 2, Statement of Purpose, recognizes that children do better when both parents are in their lives to the extent feasible after the parents have separated and divorced. Section 6 sets out factors to be considered, subject to the best interests of the child. The statute refers to the court throughout, meaning the Family Court or the trial court.

It has been my experience that when folks have representation the parental issues develop from negotiation and often mediation, very often with input from a GAL, other counselor types and sometimes the trial court. Yet on appeal the result is sometimes given new meaning to all concerned. Parenting of children should not be fought out in an adversarial system, with mechanical rules set by the legislature or by an Appellate Court.

Now you see where I am headed with this writing. I do not believe that Family law matters in general and child placement, parenting and custody matters in particular are suitable to be adjudicated as if the children are chattels (e.g., on contract grounds as cited earlier). So what can we do? We could deal with these sensitive issues in an entirely different format and forum if we really had the best interests of the children and the parents in mind. Mortal combat in an adversarial proceeding hardly furthers and nurtures the parents desire to work together in the parenting of their children. We, and I mean the lawyers and judges, and the professionals who assist, whether as expert witnesses or GALs should know better. But the easy way out is to say we cannot as a society afford to establish such a forum and layout a format to deal with one of the most critical issues of our day, while paying lip service as to how our children will develop and hence how our society will develop.

Years ago I went to a YMCA camp in Kingston and in the mess hall there was a saying: "Young man you are now becoming what you are to be." Even as kids we understood that phrase, yet all the king's men do not seem to be able to comprehend how essential these issues are to our future generations. Are we to raise trained bullies, bitter mothers, bitter fathers, and kids who feel abandoned or manipulated by the system or by a parent, or can we do something about it?

To illustrate the effect of what we do with to our children in divorce, I want to share some examples of responses to my previous article:

The first responder told me that "The pain I feel is unbearable at times. It bewilders me how I can actually have given birth to all of my children and still feel so much hardship and deep sadness I can mother them from the time they were infants and be there through the toddler stage right up through adolescence. I have devoted my whole life to the raising of my kids. I breast fed everyone for one year. I never left their side for their first six years. Rather than watching television we were outside every day discovering God's great playground." "My career was my children. I am very proud of the energy that I put into raising my family. I did not want them to be fathers or husbands like their father. I can only hope that I made a difference in their lives. Now they are told that I abandoned them. It is all a sophisticated manipulation by their own father. God, I miss them. I can only hope that something good comes from your article. Maybe a mother who suffers as I do every single day won't feel so alone or isolated. What this system does is so unforgivable in my eyes. I can only hope for strength for the other mothers who endure this pain. It is a very lonely place to be in my shoes. Sometimes I think to myself 'what am I doing here?'"

"Sometimes I think that I cannot take it any longer or that I will never win. He will continue to direct his poison at me through my children using them as his weapons because he knows that it hurts me so badly. I never knew how painful being a mother could be. If I did I might have thought twice."

"Good luck with your article. I hope that it will help so many moms out there who feel the sense of hopelessness that I often feel. My children have been my world. Every single morning when I wake up, I roll over and look at the picture of all of them, with smiles on their faces in my loving arms. Then I pinch myself and remember that was then and this is now."

From another reader: "It is terrible what some women have to go through and no matter how hard you struggle to gain control of your own life and that of your children's to secure their well being, you are locked into a cycle of suffering. In my case and for the sake of my children, I hope that I can break the cycle."

From another mother: "I have had the recent pleasure of reading your insightful commentary on the Trained Bully. You suggested that rarely can anything be done about this psychologically damaging behavior and modeling--which leads me to believe that occasionally something can."

"I am potentially interested in being the poster child for your quest to bring attention to this egregious behavior. Unlike the women in your typical divorce, I am neither powerless nor depressive, but I am nonetheless suffering at the hands of brainwashing subsequent to an acrimonious marital split." This responder tells how after the divorce her husband attempted to have her pay for their son's college expenses. When he failed to accomplish that he then needed to exact revenge on her through "the only weapon at his disposal-our son." She continues on: "My son with whom I have always had a wonderful relationship, has suddenly decided not only not to visit me, but not to talk to me. My lawyer says there is nothing the State of NH will do. I am joint custodian. I am legally allowed joint medical decision making. I am a medical doctor and I think my son is screaming for counseling, yet the physical custodian dismisses my maternal, my custodial, my medical opinion and refuses. I only pray that when he eventually moves out of the brainwashing environment, the profound damage can be undone."

This mother then asked several questions including whether I expect to address this subject further, which I do. She asks a perturbing question, namely, "Is there any avenue through which these victims (the mother and the children) can seek counseling?" She concludes her letter to me with this: "I would love to help champion this cause if your article foreshadows any intent to affect change in this horrific and harmful phenomenon."

I sincerely hope that my writing about these issues will affect change as to how we, as a society, deal with such issues. In my previous article published in the NH Bar News on March 13th, I indicated that the pattern of behavior described is probably not exclusive to mothers of boys. I received a very detailed letter from a boy's father who wrote to me saying: "You do nothing to mention the persistent abuse and gender bias by the family court in primarily awarding mothers' sole legal and primary physical custody of the minor child...... I was given joint legal and physical custody, but deprived of my fundamental constitutional right to be involved in my son's education by a legally incompetent and bigoted Marital Master, Judge and Guardian ad litem. In my case, race and gender-motivated bias were the sole factors that ultimately decided the case. It resulted in an unlawful court-ordered racial segregation in education and denial of equal educational opportunity that adversely affected my son educationally and emotionally after languishing the substandard Haverhill (MA) public school system for two years while I engaged in a protracted battle. What happened to the best interest of the child? It seems that I was the only one interested in seeing that the statutory requirement was being met."

This father had gathered statistical evidence to prove his feelings about the inferiority of the public school system being challenged and filed an appeal to the NH Supreme Court on several federal statutory and constitutional grounds, including the issue of court-ordered Racial Segregation in Education (violation of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 20 U.S.C. 1703 Denial of Equal Education Opportunity). The Supreme Court declined his appeal and he felt abused by the legal system.

I also had the opportunity to review the opinions of several members of the NH Bar on the issues raised in my article. One attorney volunteered that, "We should make people take a test and get a license to have children...but of course we can't." "Ugly and tragic cases. And if the parents do not have $15-$20K to fight the battle how do they win."

Another practitioner wrote: "I do not subscribe to the philosophy that parents or courts can't make a teenager do anything. Of course they can! Since when did turning 15 give anyone the right to rule the world and define their own destiny regardless of their best interest." This attorney went on to opine: "The biggest problem with the existing statute is that the Courts appear to interpret the modification statute regarding 'mature minors' as NOT requiring there to be a 'best interest' determination. I think that is completely against the weight of the case law (as well as common sense) actually, but there are courts that are buying that interpretation." This lawyer also says that: "teenagers are easy to manipulate, they can get great grades, be popular, respected by teachers, excel in sports, and yet not be emotionally ready to make "adult decisions which have lasting affects.".... They simply cannot comprehend how those decisions will affect them for the rest of their lives."

I think that opinion points us in the right direction. Suppose one parent does not believe in counseling or fails to emphasize the obligation to respect and carry out a valid court order. The courts have the means to mandate such compliance by imposing certain penalties on the recalcitrant or errant parent. I do not like such remedies however, as my experience tells me that the Family Courts and the Trial Courts before them, are inappropriate forums to resolve the compelling and often life-changing issues for families. I believe that this is such a pervading psycho-social problem of troubled children and troubled parents that significant effort must be made by our system to bring about change. The system of advocacy where each side has 15 minutes for a paid advocate, whether it be an attorney or a paid expert to rail against the other parent must be seen as an archaic and irrelevant means to resolve such deep-seated and important issues. The adversarial system is no place for families, but we relegate them to a very poorly-functioning system where these life-altering decisions are brought to light in a few minutes, before an over-worked judicial officer, usually after waiting weeks and months to be heard. As one attorney wrote to me: "The courts do not want to hear these cases, they are way too difficult to hear and decide."

Finally, one other attorney most aptly wrote about alienation: "When it occurs, it hurts kids, ESPECIALLY the kids that firmly stand and shout that they HATE the other parent. In reality, they are hurting inside terribly. And it does affect them and their relationships with others the rest of their lives."

Have I opened a "Pandora's Box?" I think it is obvious that the legislature's attempt to address these issues in RSA 461 A, by setting up guidelines for Parental Rights and Responsibilities for parents in the stages of separation or divorce, is a good step. All of us who manage the lives of these parents, and hence their children, whether as trusted counselors, GALs, judges or masters need to be aware that we are shaping a generation to come. We all hear the questions asked: why are kids today dropping out of school by the thousands, why are kids today so disrespectful to the older generations, why are so many kids on drugs or alcohol? Let us wake up. Over half, or more than half, of all marriages in this state wind up in the Family Courts. Those with children less than eighteen years of age have the lives of those minor children managed in some part by our adversarial system. As a society our intentions need to be more thoughtfully vetted by our legal, judicial, legislative and psychological communities so as to develop a framework in which we can more effectively deal with how we parent our young children and deal with the deeply rooted and legal and psycho-social issues that our system and society has created. It is said that we live in a nuclear age and an age of fear of terrorism. Terrorism has no place in our family adjudicative system, although historically the stronger the adversary the more "successful" the lawyer has been thought to be. How many times has a prospective client said to you, "I heard that you are a pit bull and that is why I selected you." What was your response? Think about it. Are we a big part of the problem? I know the system is. With these thoughts in mind, I hope to continue this dialog with both a child psychiatrist and a psychologist and with the input of attorneys, family practitioners, GALs, and those in the court system.

Where do we go to make it so that the parents can be entitled to the management of their children and, when they do not or cannot manage effectively, how shall we assist them to cope?
