Are There Predators Out There?

About Me View My Posts
Kathy thought she'd met her ideal candidate for a serious relationship. After connecting through a popular online dating site, and talking with him on the phone, she agreed to meet at a local bar. He was a doctor; even told her which hospital he worked at. He was charming and bought her drinks. It never occurred to her that she was in danger. The next morning, she woke up groggy, sick, and in pain.... 10/1/2007 7:00:00 AM

Sacrificing For Love: Men or Women?
by Nina Atwood, M.Ed., LPC
About Me View My Posts
Who do you think is most likely to sacrifice career goals to keep a relationship together? If you're like most people, you guessed "women are." But a new study disproves that common belief. In a surprising twist, a survey of 237 university students found that men were more likely than women to give love a priority over individual achievement. Of course, these were university students - inexperienced... 9/30/2007 7:00:00 AM

Farewell to Recess?
by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
School has started all over the country, and all over the country children, parents, and teachers are discovering there's less time -- or no time -- being allotted for recess. I was reading an article at floridatoday.com called "Recess takes a time out: Law to increase activity eliminates recess at some schools." Anyone else see the contradiction in that title? If the goal is increased activity, why... 9/27/2007 7:00:00 AM

Feeling Good Each and Every Day
by Constance Kellough
About Me View My Posts
Is it possible to live each and every day in a state of emotional wellbeing? Can we hope to feel good most of the time, if not all of the time? A great many people do not feel excited about life, do not have hearts filled with hope, but exist each day in a pretty joyless state. Only when something in their external world comes along to pick their spirits up do they feel somewhat "happy" for a time.... 9/25/2007 7:00:00 AM

Personal Trainers for Preschool Kids?
by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
I came across an article yesterday that just begged to be commented on. The piece was titled "Personal Trainers for Kids on the Increase: Kids Working with Fitness Experts Hone Skills, Lose Weight, Get Healthy." Anyone familiar with my work knows I'm all in favor of fitness for kids. In fact, it's one of my crusades. But this story worried me. With the children's obesity crisis raging (and it truly... 9/20/2007 7:00:00 AM

Is Health Care Only for The Rich and The Criminals?
by Michael Esposito, MD
About Me View My Posts
There is equal protection to all citizens under the laws of the United States unless you are sick. Access to medical care in the United States is a privilege of the wealthy, the employed, the elderly, and the incarcerated. God help you get sick if you a low paid worker or a child living with working poor parents. There is no room or money in the health care system for these hard working souls. These... 9/17/2007 7:00:00 AM

Cheating In Kid's Sports - A New Perspective
by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
Some years ago the Josephson Institute of Ethics reported their findings on the ethics of children in sports. The results? As reported in the Toronto Star, children who participate in organized sports "are more likely to cheat in school, are learning from their coaches how to best cut corners and are more open to forms of bullying as a way to motivate people."How could this be? The prevailing thinking... 9/17/2007 7:00:00 AM

Acne Diets
by Dr. Lawrence J. Green
About Me View My Posts
One of the most common questions I am asked by the parents of young teenagers I am treating for acne is "What type of diet should I put my child on to make his/her acne better?" I have always wondered about why people always feel their looks depend on what they eat. Especially when it comes to acne. What does something you put in your stomach have to do with what happens on your face? So, for years... 8/30/2007 9:00:00 PM

Should Parents Play With Their Children?
by Rae Pica
About Me View My Posts
Wow, according to a story in the Boston Globe, anthropologist David Lancy contends that parent-child play has been "virtually unheard of throughout human history" and that "American-style parent-child play is a distinct feature of wealthy developed countries - a recent byproduct of the pressure to get kids ready for the information-age economy." Lancy's point seems to be that adult-child play isn't... 8/29/2007 7:00:00 AM
