Surviving the Summer
|
A guide for preserving parents' sanity:
To bypass summer meltdowns and other behavior problems, try these tips for creating structure and for instituting family meetings.
Summertime evokes the images of long, hot, lazy days on the beach or by a pool. Children who have an internalized structure can usually find ways to occupy themselves over the down months; however, those who lack an internal skeleton of self-control and self-direction tend to "go wild" without the routine and structure of school. Before parents resort to the tempting option of taking them to the zoo-not to visit, but to inhabit-try these techniques:

ADHD and The Brain
|
Dr. Robert Melillo had already been conducting research on the adult brain when, in 1994, a friend asked him to look into the growing problem of ADHD in children.
Melillo knew very little about ADHD, so he began researching the disorder. Within a short time, one of the main things he noticed was the widespread prescribing of Ritalin to treat ADHD. "What really struck me was the increase in use (of Ritalin)." Melillo had learned that, in just five years from 1990 to 1995, there had been a more-than-200 percent jump in usage of the drug. Perplexed by this statistic, he spoke to teachers who confirmed that they were seeing that in the classroom. Read more

Managing Stress
| |
Stress can hit you when you least expect it-before a test, after an accident, or during conflict in a relationship. While everyone experiences stress at times, a prolonged bout of it can affect your health and ability to cope with life. That's why social support and self-care are important. They can help you see your problems in perspective...and the stressful feelings ease up.
Sometimes stress can be good. For instance, it can help you develop skills needed to manage potentially threatening situations in life. However, stress can be harmful when it is severe enough to make you feel overwhelmed and out of control.
Strong emotions like fear, sadness, or other symptoms of depression are normal, as long as they are temporary and don't interfere with daily activities. If these emotions last too long or cause other problems, it's a different story.
