Bullying American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry No. 80; March 2011Click here to download and print a PDF version of this document. Bullying is a common experience for many children and adolescents. Surveys indicate that as many as half of all children are bullied at some time during their school years, and at least 10% are bullied on a regular basis. Bullying behavior can be physical or verbal. Children who are bullied experience real suffering that can interfere with their social and emotional development, as well as their school performance. Children and adolescents who bully thrive on controlling or dominating others. If you suspect your child is bullying others, it's important to seek help for him or her as soon as possible. If you suspect your child may be the victim of bullying ask him or her to tell you what's going on. It's also important to respond in a positive and accepting manner. Ask your child what he or she thinks should be done. For more information visit AACAP's Bullying Resource Center
Cyber Bullying Part Two If you have not yet done so, please read the first instalment of this two-part feature on cyber bullying. "There is a belief that cyber bullying isn't a big deal," says Justin Patchin, PhD, assistant professor of criminal justice in the department of political science at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. "Like traditional bullying, it's seen as a rite of passage; something that everyone goes through." Dr. Patchin is among a handful of researchers changing public perception on the seriousness of the issue. It's an uphill battle: parents are often in the dark about what goes on in their children's world of Internet and text messaging communication. Dr. "There are similarities and differences with traditional bullies," says Michele Ybarra, PhD, a researcher at Internet Solutions for Kids, an American non-profit group exploring the phenomenon of cyber bullying. Dr. The anonymity and distance created by the internet and other modern technologies can have other effects. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr.
Book Review: Kawaii Bento Boxes There aren’t many bento cookbooks written in English, so of course I’m curious when a new one comes out. I’m a big fan of Japanese-language cookbooks for their glanceable step-by-step photos and intuitive graphic presentation of complex material. Kawaii Bento Boxes: Cute and Convenient Japanese Meals on the Go , newly published by Japan Publications Trading’s Boutique-Sha, really captures the essence of fun, kids-oriented Japanese bento cookbooks. As I was leafing through it, though, something started to seem oddly familiar. Now, there are both good and bad aspects to a straight translation of a bento cookbook written for the Japanese market. Like Hawaii’s Bento Box Cookbook (see my full review here ), Kawaii Bento Boxes is aimed at parents of young children who want to add playfulness to packed lunches, with simple recipes for very Japanese bentos that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less. 1. Here’s the same page in the Japanese original, so you can see they’re identical. 2.

Tipping Your Child's Care Provider or Teacher Tipping remains a popular way to say thanks to service providers such as child caregivers, teachers, bus drivers and even coaches or volunteer leaders. The practice of tipping thrives during the holiday season as well as at the end of the school year or season. In fact, research by indicated that that the tradition of giving holiday tips is actually on the rise, with gratuity amounts increasing! Last year, American's tipped an estimated $26 billion, and an explanation might be that we feel almost as good giving tips as receiving them--great news for service providers! So, how do you figure out who you should tip and how much? If you're unsure of whether you should tip or not, and you want to be consistent with what other families do (if you indeed care about local customs or practices), ask neighbors, other parents or co-workers first. If your recipient provides service weekly, give the equivalent of one week's pay.
儿童语言发展认识误区(上) - 聪明宝宝 (陈博士) - Powered by SupeSite 幼教博览，2010年第二期 专家热线 陈忻 儿童语言发展认识误区(上) Q:最近有一个问题让我很是困扰，我家儿子两周岁了，居然还不会说话。 A:孩子的语言学习有一个基本过程，与同龄儿相比，有些孩子语言发育迟缓，有些则发音不清晰，对此有的家长认为，孩子说话有早有晚，老人 们常说“贵人语迟”，没有必要过分关心，因而对这些孩子不予注意；而有的家长则过于焦虑，采取一些不适的方法催促孩子说话，反而适得其反。 事实上，孩子说话的早与晚，的确存在着个体差异，但更重要的是后天环境的影响。 常常听有些家长说：我家宝宝都这么大了，怎么还不说话呀？ 理解性语言包括：孩子能够理解 的单词的数量；孩子能否听懂父母的指令(比如，把鞋子拿过来，或者，走到门口来)；孩子能否听懂问题(比如，你想喝水吗？) 表达性语言包括：孩子能够表达出来的词汇量(比如：事物名称等等)；能否将单词组合到一起，组成词组或者句子；孩子能否提问；能否运用代名词、介词等等。 所以说，看孩子语言发展，要同时看这两个过程。 父母可以做些什么让孩子更好地理解语言呢？ 1.直接的方法。 2.间接的方法。 显而易见，第二种情形下，孩子的压力会小一点，比较有利于孩子理解语言。 再给大家举个例子，看看这个妈妈是怎么陪孩子玩并教他说话的。 那么，间接的方法应该怎么做呢？ 一个技巧是，平行讲话。 还有一个技巧，就是描述，就是介绍一样东西，一种特性等等，描述孩子看到/听到的东西。 另一个技巧就是自言自语，这个 方法就是爸爸妈妈在做自己事情的时候，而孩子正在看着你做，那么你就来描述自己所做的事情。 很多父母认识上的误区，就是非要求孩子说完整的单词，才算是学说话。 总之，家长必须跟孩子进行积极的语言交流。 (转载请注明www.infantcute.com)
儿童语言发展认识误区(下) - 聪明宝宝 (陈博士) - Powered by SupeSite 幼教博览，2010年第三期 专家热线 陈忻 儿童语言发展认识误区(下) 问 题：我家的宝宝快18个月了，还没有很清晰的发音，以前还叫爸爸妈妈，现在好像都忘了。 回答：这个问题，非常普遍，父母常常抱怨：哎呀，我家孩子简直是说火星语，我们什么也听不懂，她说得还挺来劲。 很多父母都认为，学说话，或者会说话的标准，是孩子能够清晰发出一个单词的音。 孩子的语言发展是一个渐进的过程。 当他们半岁的时候，他们会发出很多声音，有些是韵母，有些是声母，有一些连贯的声音但不是“正确”的单词。 我要提醒家长们不要忽视呀呀学语，要好好分辨孩子的发音。 还有一点，在语言学习中，模仿和反模仿都非常重要。 这里要注意的一点是，父母不要进行错误的模仿。 当孩子呀呀学语的时候，父母不应该感到着急，相反，应该感到高兴，因为那是孩子在练习发音。 我常常听到家长在着急：哎呀，我家孩子为什么一个单词都不说啊？ 语言发展是孩子发展过程中的一个重要里程碑，父母关注的也比较多。 (转载请注明www.infantcute.com)

护理宝宝敏感地带 生殖器 你的宝宝是男孩还是女孩，你能从容不迫地对待敏感地带出现的各种状况吗？ 敏感地带之男宝宝……>>>男宝宝“割包皮”手术 敏感地带组成：睪丸、包皮、阴茎以及阴囊 小花絮 “我家宝宝经常在地上爬，有时候能看见有小毛毛粘在小鸡鸡上，我都是晚上洗澡时，往上推一推，用水冲一冲，好像翻不上去，怕宝宝痛，也不敢翻了，我想等宝宝大一点的时候带他去看医生。” ——小微妈妈 “我家宝宝现在刚刚1岁，洗澡时那个部位要不要翻开来洗？ ——北京小妈 “宝宝刚满月的时候，我就给他翻过来洗了，还真是有些白白的皮屑似的东西，不知道这个要不要也洗掉还是宝宝自身分泌的有益菌群，帮助杀菌的，不能随便洗掉的？” ——羊羊妈妈 “我给孩子洗屁屁时尝试着翻上去洗，可是没见到效果，不知要翻成什么样子，宝宝还一个劲地咯咯笑，他爸爸也笑了，弄得我都不好意思翻了。” ——亦亦妈 正确清洁方法： 清洗时，妈妈用右手的拇指和食指轻轻捏着阴茎的中段，朝孩子腹壁方向轻柔地向后推包皮，让龟头和冠状沟完全露出来，再轻轻地用温水清洗。 ×过度刺激生殖器 用温水冲洗孩子的生殖器，生殖器受到刺激，勃起、跳动，孩子也会随之发出咯咯的笑声，家长见孩子笑了，故意延长冲洗时间，这是不可取的。 生殖器受热膨胀、尿道张开，可使泌尿系统感染，出现小便不正常的现象。 最易出现的8种状况 包皮……>>>什么情况下男婴必须割包皮 Tips 包皮垢：宝宝出生后不久，包皮下方的龟头黏膜上皮细胞脱落以及冠状沟附近腺体分泌物混杂在一起，常常会在包皮上方形成一层白色的污垢，称为包皮垢，通常我们隔着包皮隐约可见或摸到一些白色小硬块，就是包皮垢。 小男孩出生不久后，阴茎头就会出现尿垢，加上包皮垢，都会混合一些很有害的细菌，这些对生殖器的发育和健康是不利的，若不及时清理时常会导致龟头或冠状沟发炎。 包皮：包皮位于男孩“小鸡鸡”的前端。 包皮太长或太紧：龟头被包皮紧包，无法露出时就是包皮太长或太紧。 包皮发炎：包皮炎症的多发时期出现在小鸡鸡的龟头快要露出却又没有完全露出的尴尬时候。 在男孩子小的时候包皮将小鸡鸡包得好好的，通常不会有包皮炎症的情况发生。 急性发炎时以1：5000高锰酸钾溶液浸泡，早晚2次，或以棉签沾1：1000新洁而灭轻拭渗液，小便后要多冲洗，如有发热等全身症状时需服用或注射抗生素。 箝顿包皮：包皮退回到冠状沟后，无法回到正常位置，且被固定住了，导致静脉血流不畅，发生水肿，孩子会感到龟头剧痛。 阴囊里有肿块？
