Expert guide to conspiracy theories: introducing a new podcast series. Conspiracy theories no longer feel like a fringe phenomenon, with people claiming that Elvis isn’t dead or the royal family are shape-shifting alien lizards, put down as crackpots. Now presidents push them and major events are regularly followed by a slew of sinister ideas involving dark forces at work behind the scenes. Coronavirus is just the latest. Some conspiracy theories may be harmless entertainment or a sign of healthy scepticism, but others are dangerous because they can fuel racism, violence, terrorism and chaos. With the prominence of conspiracy theories seemingly on the rise, we set out to better understand them. Over five episodes, we speak to dozens of academics. Psychologists tell us why some people are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories than others, and why there’s a spectrum ranging from the conspiracy curious to hardcore believers.

Conspiracy theories have evolved over the centuries, from ancient times to the present day. Contact — EUROMOMO.

Help Your Child Sleep Alone: The Goodnight Worry Program for Bedtime Fears. I want to hear from you! Please let me know if this is helpful. Tell me your story: david@ogradywellbeing.com. Children should be able to fall asleep on their own. By developing their capacity to soothe themselves, our children master their fears. The problem. Some children are afraid to sleep alone. Here is a common scenario. The parents grow weary. This problem is actually very common. If this is happening in your home, perhaps you worry it is because your child has some emotional problem, some deep insecurity.

But perhaps you have come to feel that this sleep problem is disrupting family life–it takes up a lot of time, robs parents of precious time to themselves, perhaps interferes with the relationship between husband and wife, and causes conflict between parents and child. The Goal. We want our children to feel confident and secure, able to relax knowing they are safe, able to seek help when they feel bad, yet able to comfort themselves when bothered by minor worries.

Giving on the go | SnapDonate. The New Plague « Gotham Skeptic. A new epidemic is creeping across parts of the US. It primarily affects infants and children of higher socio-economic status, and it has the potential to cause horrible illness and death. It has already begun to cause outbreaks in scattered communities throughout the country. If it is not contained quickly, more carnage will result. The epidemic I am describing is not Swine Flu. It is not a newly mutated animal virus imported from some far-flung corner of the globe. It is the epidemic of parental vaccine fear, and it is a major threat to the safety of children everywhere. As a pediatrician living in New York, I often see soon-to-be parents who are expecting their first child and are looking for a doctor for their new baby. What has led to this new epidemic of fear? Vaccines have been linked to autism – While this is true, vaccines have been linked to autism, they don’t actually have anything to do with autism.
