This week, I’m sharing a variety of responses to the question, “What insight or idea has thrilled or excited you?” Professor Laurence Steinberg, an expert on the adolescent brain, teen risk-taking, and psychological development, recalls two times when research findings particularly excited him. The first happened early in his career: I had done my dissertation on the ways in which family relationships change as kids go through puberty. The main finding is that as kids go through puberty, conflict between them and their parents (especially mothers) intensifies. The second example that he related happened more recently, during a series of studies he was doing on the influence of an adolescent’s peers on the risks he or she takes: Adolescents many more risks than either children or adults.

These Are Photos Of Childrens Bedrooms. But They Represent Something Much, Much More. Millions of people from around the world are currently experiencing very different childhoods. Some are living in abject poverty, lacking basic food and sanitation, while others are more fortunate by being born in a country where those things are guaranteed and usually taken for granted. When photographer James Mollison was asked to come up with an idea for engaging with children’s rights, he found himself thinking of his bedroom: how significant it was during his childhood, and how it reflected what he had and who he was. And with that, he made it his mission to create Where Children Sleep – a collection of stories about children from around the world, told through portraits and pictures of their bedrooms.

What my sons can learn from Mick Fanning - Mouths of Mums With the images of Mick Fanning’s terrifying shark attack fresh in the world’s eyes, no one can deny the sheer horror of what we witnessed and what will be hard to forget. As his manager, Ronnie Blakey said, “I was thinking we’re watching a three-time world champion die. That was the reality of the situation,” he said. “At worst I thought if he isn’t dead maybe he’s lost a limb.” Few of us will ever unsee that footage, nor unhear the screams from the crowds of the beaches, and the frantic voice of the commentator desperate to get help to the two men in the water. But in the aftermath of this terrifying ordeal, shaken, the world watched as this brave man graciously and quietly acknowledged his horror. There are many lessons that boys, young men, and their parents, can learn from his response. Because for Mick, there was no bravado, there was no chest thumping or “F*&#k me!” I have three sons. And there was a whole other sub story that we witnessed that day, and it’s all about mate-ship.

Drugs Campaign | National Drugs Campaign Ice affects communities everywhere So I've been working in emergency medicine for 30 years or so both in the city, and now I work regionally in Queensland, for the first few years of being in regional Queensland, we didn't see a lot of hard drug use. But regrettably the nature of the intoxications is changing and we see more and more patients come in now heavily intoxicated by ice and requiring police and security forces and often having to be sedated and controlled because they are at a huge risk of harming themselves or harming others, being completely out of control and almost psychotic at times. Anyone can get hooked on ice It's not just the socially disadvantaged that are suffering from ice intoxication and chronic ice use. I was looking after a girl only yesterday that started off as an occasional user with her partner, and now two years later she's using habitually every day and she's had three or four presentations to the hospital with the consequences of ice use.
