Up to that point, I averaged one a month. Some were helpful, but I was such an insecure parent, that the majority of these well-intentioned references made me like a horrible mother who was incapable of raising good kids. I then decided to “pick my battles,” and work on my self-esteem rather than perfecting my parenting skills. So I tossed any parenting books that came my way into the Goodwill pile. Whenever the topic of expert parenting advice or philosophies came up at play dates, I walked away and participated in another conversation… like about which kind of chocolate to buy. I must have evolved in these seven years because I was unafrai...

Gratitude. Conscientiousness. Being humble. A little stress to keep you energized and motivated. Using common sense. Hanging out with the people that are doing healthy things. Having a stable relationship. You might think the secret to a long and happy life was hidden in a book or could be found by following that famous media guru, Oprah. The truth is, a long life and happiness are not obtained by doing extraordinary things or looking for that magical “dream job” (or dream spouse, for that matter). Research has shown — most recently by psychologists Friedman and Martin in The Longevity Project (2010) — that getting to a long life is really just a combination of simple, everyday things and an approach to life that some might say emphasizes a sense of resi...

This approach has a point of injection medial to the upper nasolabial groove a few millimeters lateral to the alar groove. The injection point for the infraorbital nerve is in the center of the small triangle lateral to the alar rim and medial to the nasolabial fold. With your left index finger on the infraorbital...

I’m pleased to introduce Neuroscience and Relationships with Dr. Athena Staik. Dr. Athena Staik has been studying the brain, the neuroscience of attachments, and cutting edge tools for accelerated success and human change for over 10 years.

Froebel blocks are named for Friedrich Froebel, who created kindergarten and who also devised the idea of making boxed sets of blocks “meant to inform and inspire children about symmetry and beauty.” Charlie has had numerous sets of Legos of numerous sizes and of blocks over the years. While he has readily learned how to build sculptures of our designing, he has never been too interested making things of his own from Legos, or K’nex, or from the numerous plastic pieces of a marble run. Charlie’s preference has long been for toys made of wood: the tracks of his train se... Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1220864 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:27:02 +0100 1220864
