The special child
(23 Messages)
I do not often bother to read the press releases that Robert puts on to this NG, but I did read his output on "bar mitzva for autistic children". While I am more than happy when any organisation does something to help the special child and they should get a big boost, the hubris of this press release from the Masorti was just a bit too much for me. Both in Israel and in the UK, I support many organisations (eg Yad Sarah and Norwood Ravenswood, to name but two) that do phenomenal work i ...
SS behavioral problems (age 6)
(25 Messages)
If you had a SS that has been a behavioral problem since he could walk (hyperactive, defiant, sometimes violent), what would you do: By sometimes violent, I mean this: In kindergarten (last year), he was suspended twice - once for choking a classmate. Last summer, he punched my 4yo in the nose (this is the summer after his kindergarten), giving her a bloody nose. When my 8yo SD tried to console my 4yo, my SS punched his sister (my SD) in the back and knocked her to the ground. He then climbed ON ...
Behavioral Problems

Our 1.5 year old female, who came via rescue, is creating serious issues in the household. We got her at about 6 months of age and for the most part, she is better than when we first got her. Lately, she has reverted back to chewing carpets and her bedding, in particular a new area rug my wife just purchased. For a while she only chewed her toys, and occasionally her bed. She has plenty of toys to play with during the day.. We have purchased an adequate size crate, slowly eased her in, without p ...

Coping With Stress Helps Cholesterol The more hostile the men were, the more likely they were to look at problems as stressful. They were also more apt to use unhealthy coping skills to deal with that stress. The results were a surprise, Aldwin tells WebMD. "What we were really expecting is that coping would mitigate the effects of stress on LDL," she says. But the researchers found that the good coping skills only helped the protective effect of the "good" HDL cholesterol. She cannot cite an exact improvement in HDL or an average HDL level among those who coped ...

Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy: One Pioneer's Contribution The theory: Irrational ways of thinking underlie most psychological conditions, and patients can get better by tackling these skewed thinking patterns, correcting them, and developing new ones. In a 2006 survey of social workers and psychologists conducted by Psychotherapy Networker in partnership with Joan Cook, an adjunct assistant professor of medical psychology at Columbia University, over 60 percent said that they employ cognitive-behavioral techniques in their work.
Techniques used to that end may include weighing evidence to evaluate whether a patient's self-image is skewed, developing a more realistic worldview, prioritizing problems, and setting an agenda for dealing with them. According to research by Aaron Beck and others, cognitive therapy is as effective as antidepressants in initially treating mild, moderate, and severe depression, and patients who had used cognitive therapy and stopped were less likely to relapse than those who stopped medication. Cognitive therapy has also been shown to decrease the risk for repeated suicide attempts ...
An Independent Voice from the United Nations The mere posing of the question of containing Russia appeals to the instincts of the past and suggests not so much the lack of imagination as the fact that for some almost nothing has changed since the end of the Cold War. It implies that the vision of the structure of international relations that took shape in the Western alliance during the Cold War era be mechanically projected to the rest of the modern-day world. The same motives that stood behind the choice in favor of the containment policy have re-emerged at the new stage of history.
Indeed, what does the containment of Russia mean to achieve in our time? Let me emphasize that we are talking about a Russia that has abandoned ideology, imperial and any other great designs in favor of pragmatism and common sense. What is the purpose of containing a country that has focused on its domestic development and has been successful in doing so? Our country's internal strength due to the constructive work at home has naturally translated into strengthening of our international position. Russia's foreign policy represents a logical extension of the domestic one. We have realistic and understandable aspirations, namely ...

Forgetfulness: It's Probably Not as Bad as You Think Source: National Institute on Aging March 12, 2003 We often joke, as we get older and start to forget things, "it's my Alzheimer's kicking in!"

Robert Griffith, Editor. Many older people worry about becoming more forgetful. They think forgetfulness is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. In the past, memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part ...
Pediatric Screening Questionnaire Helps Identify Developmental Delays Developmental and behavioral problems are estimated to affect 12 to 16 percent of children in the United States. Since well-child visits are typically scheduled for 15 to 30 minutes - an insufficient time for assessment of all areas of development in addition to administration of vaccines and discussion of other age-related topics - it’s not surprising that pediatricians fail to identify up to 80 percent of children with developmental delays in a timely manner.
In the study, “Impact of Implementing Developmental Screening at 12 and 24 Months in a Pediatric Practice,” a group of 1,428 caregivers and children attending their 12 or 24-month well-child visits between April 2005 and March 2006 completed the ASQ, a child development screening questionnaire. Parents answered questions relating to five areas of development: communication, problem-solving, gross and fine motor skills, and personal-social skills. As a result, referral rates for continued evaluation increased by 224 percent. The questionnaire was found to be beneficial, as 36 percent of the referred patients qualified for special education services, ...
