Positive Parenting Solution of the Week: Child Labels, Sibling Rivalry and Competition
Posted on 15. Feb, 2012 by Young Parents Guide.
PositiveParentingSolutions.com ► Book ► http Facebook ► facebook.com Twitter ► twitter.com Welcome to the Positive Parenting Solution of the Week! This week’s tip will help you minimize sibling rivalry and competition. The unfortunate truth about sibling relationships is that there’s a natural sense of rivalry that sets in. There’s nothing you can do to eliminate it completely — but there are things you can do to minimize it. It’s important to be aware of what parents unknowingly do to intensify rivalry. These seem like innocent gestures but they can have harmful and lasting consequences. One of the biggies is to make sure we’re not comparing our kids through labels, spoken or implied. Because, If you’re the smart one, the pretty one, the athletic one — then I must be the opposite. If mom calls me her “wild one” — then that let’s you feel pretty “superior” and that’s a recipe that’s ripe for resentment, very. Some labels are more subtle. If you hand your son a stack of plates to carry into the dining room and you say, “Now hold these very tightly and don’t trip over the rug.” He probably perceives himself as clumsy. If you remind your daughter 15 times every morning to not forget her homework, lunch or PE clothes — you can bet she’s wearing the disorganized or forgetful label. Another subtle but discouraging label is the Go-To Kid: This is the child you can count on to complete a task competently and without much complaining—so whenever you really need something …

But according to a new government study that shows the US teen birthrate falling dramatically in 2009 after a five percent increase from 2005 to 2007, experts say the network may have redeemed itself with its gritty “16 and Pregnant” documentary series, which many teens credit with opening their eyes to the consequences of unprotected sex and early parenthood. A report released Tuesday by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy shows that parental influence is the most-cited factor by teens when it comes to avoiding teen pregnancy. But the report also specifically cites the popular “16 and Pregnant” series, indicating that 82 percent of teens say the show helps them better understand the challenges of teen pregnancy and parenthood — and why they should avoid it. “Entertainment media is one of the nation’s favorite punching bags, but we have to acknowledge that when we’re talking about teen pregnancies media …

DAYS DEPRIVED:1125 ( Parental Alienation of a Singapore father. For my son Adriel Cheng)
Posted on 23. Dec, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
Join my FaceBook group here – www.facebook.com My blog for my son – parental-alienation-singapore.blogspot.com Ever since Care & Control was given to my ex-spouse (who was represented by PAP MP Mr Lim Biow Chuan) by Singapore Family Court, I was totally deprived of access to my son for 10 mths from Sep 08 to Jun 09 despite an existing Court Order giving me 8 hr access time per wk. When I brought this up to the Court, not only was the 8 hrs access time not being enforced, & outstanding hrs not being made up to me as stated in the Court Order, my access time was instead being REDUCED to JUST 1 HR PER WK. And it has to take place at a Family Centre assigned by the Court (we have to pay 0/hr to be with our children). Despite me bonding extremely well with my son at the Family Centre for 6 mths (Jul 09 to Jan 10), they arranged for a court counselor to interview my son and determined that “it is in his best interest that I do see him”, and that “I may affect his PSLE examinations”. So I was COMPLETELY BLOCKED FROM ACCESS TO MY SON for the next 8 mths. Such OPPRESSIONS are not uncommon among parents without Care & Control, and it is hardly the kind of fair justice that we are hoping for in our modern society. I believe more could be done to help parents bond with their estrangled children. Many Singaporean divorced parents and children are suffering everyday as a result of Parental Alienation (PA). Here are 3 cases in 2009: www.divaasia.com (reported on the 5th July issue of …

Kids cry for help. Children as young as 8 commiting suicide. RIP
Posted on 08. Dec, 2011 by Young Parents Guide.
After 10 year old Ashlynn Conner & 10 year old Jasmine McClain recently committed suicide because of being bullied, i started researching other similar cases & found that these precious children had more than just being bullied in common. Almost all of them chose the method of hanging. So I ask u why are so many of our children hanging themselves? What makes a child as young as 8, 9, & 10 feel so hopeless & helpless that they just give up? This is so sad & i hope after watching this video u will talk to your children about the dangers of picking on someone & how hurtful words can be. & if their the ones being picked on that it will get better & protect your child at all cost! If the school wont do nothing about it go over the principals head & if that dont work go to the radio & press! Im serious if we dont start standing up for these wounded souls then it will only get worse!

Outsourcing Pregnancy: Reproductive Tourism

Read Ana’s blog and subscribe at: www.examiner.com TYT Network (new WTF?! channel): www.youtube.com Check Out TYT Interviews www.youtube.com If you’ve read much science-fiction, you’re probably familiar with the idea that, at some scary point in the future, the various aspects of mothering will be separated, enabling wealthy women to farm out the component tasks to less privileged women. The Globalization of Motherhood Deconstructions and reconstructions of biology and care (Routledge, 2010) makes it clear that that day has already come. With a focus on cross-border movement in the areas of domestic labor, adoption, and assisted reproduction, the book shows that the individual tasks that used to be bundled as motherhood have been dispersed to women scattered throughout the world and stratified by race and class. The dismantling of motherhood as we once knew it is no longer a paranoid futuristic fantasy, but rather a mostly dystopic reality. The collection of academic essays edited by Wendy Chavkin and JaneMaree Maher, professors, respectively, of public health and women’s studies, lays out a big, breathtaking picture that’s most startling in its details. Take the Indian town of Anand, once …
