If only there was a list where all the effective rules that indicate what kids are allowed and not allowed to do, parenting would have been a much easier job. If there was this list that specified how a parent should handle situations every time her son does something unacceptable, then disciplining kids would have not been as stressful. But actually, you and your child can make a magical list of rules right at home. According to most parenting experts, one of the most effective parenting techniques is engaging your kids in making the rules. When you let your child be involved in the rule making process, you will be more able to encourage positive behavior. Kids want to feel valued and important and by letting them s...

Kathy Lockhart is a professional Registered Nurse with a Master’s Degree in Psychiatric Nursing from the University of Virginia and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from California State University, East Bay. She became interested in Domestic Violence after being in an abusive relationship. She has been an active volunteer for a community Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Hotline for the past 14 years and is an advocate for victims of domestic violence and rape. She knows Domestic Violence can happen to anyone. She is a living example of how women can break free from abuse and live a meaningful life. When a young woman who has been beaten by her husband calls your hotline a...

What is a healthy relationship and how does sex fit in? In the simplest terms, a healthy relationship is one that makes you feel good about yourself and your partner. Not only do you enjoy being together, but you can express your true self, and allow your partner to do the same. All relationships are different, of course, but healthy ones have at least five important qualities in common. The acronym S.H.A.R.E. can help you remember these qualities. Safety: In a healthy relationship you feel safe. You don’t worry that your partner will harm you physically or emotionally, and you don’t feel inclined to use physical or emotional violence against your partner. You can try new things (such as taking a night class)...

What did Mr. Sandford do wrong? Nothing. He’s simply mentally ill, the medications and prior treatments over his lifetime have failed him, and his legal guardian is a social service agency in Minnesota. The convergence of those three characteristics means he was a prime candidate — in the court’s eyes — for ECT treatment. The only problem? He opposes his electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). And despite experts’ insistence that Mr. Sandford is not competent to make such decisions for himself, his case has galvanized the “mad pride” movement and those who opposed any type of forced treatment. Last week, Minne...

Are you planning to get pregnant?” After I picked my jaw off the floor I stammered, “Uh, no?” It was a totally illegal question and the shocker was it came from a woman. What I should have done was run screaming for the nearest exit. But the job was offered, I took it and three years later I quit with a raging case of Post-Traumatic Boss Disorder. Rule #1: How you are treated from ‘go’ is a good indicator of how you will be treated on the job. The first phone call, your interview, how an offer is made and how negotiations are handled… My boss made me think I was her confidant. She gave me the plum jobs and ‘confided’ to me that everyone else was inf...

From the story:Boston's Children's Hospital bills itself as the hospital for children--and now it's also the hospital for children who want a sex change, a procedure some critics are calling "barbaric." Dr. Norman Spack, a pediatric specialist at the hospital, has launched a clinic for transgendered kids--boys who feel like girls, girls who want to be boys-- and he's opening his doors to patients as young as 7. Spack offers his younger patients counseling and drugs that delay the onset of puberty. The drugs stop the natural flood of hormones that would make it difficult to have a sex alter...

The study compared medical records and utilization data from 631 children of mothers with a history of IPV with those of 760 children whose mothers had not experienced IPV. The mothers-who participated in a randomly sampled telephone survey of Group Health female members aged 18 to 64-provided the information regarding their lifetime history with IPV. The study defines IPV as both physical abuse (slapping, hitting, forced sex) and nonphysical abuse (threats, and chronic disparaging remarks or controlling behavior.) The researchers looked at 11 years of data. Among the mothers in the study, 46.6 percent reported experiencing IPV since age 18. A...
