Canada August 18, 2015 7:19 pm Updated: August 19, 2015 12:08 am Study finds mental well-being of children top priority for Canadian parents Christina Crop_LOW_WB By Christina Stevens Senior Reporter Global News TORONTO — A survey of about 1,000 families with children aged eight to 12 years old found that Canadian parents put their child’s mental well-being first. Global News Of the group surveyed, 42 per cent of parents ranked mental well-being ahead of emotional (35 per cent), physical (16 per cent) and social (seven per cent) well-being. Companies Committed to Kids, a non-profit group, backed the study. “It seems parents are getting the message,” said Debra Peplar, who authored the study. “They need to be concerned about how their children are functioning and how they are coping with stress in their lives.” Just 21 per cent of parents surveyed rated their child’s mental well-being as excellent, while 27 percent of kids gave it the same grade. There were also gender differences. Parents of girls rated them higher in key areas, such as perseverance, managing stress and coping with the ups and downs of daily life. Whether they have a son or daughter — half of the parents surveyed say they’d like more support in mental well-being. “Specifically, tips, tools, strategies, links to experts and help in how to open up the discussion on tough topics,” said Bev Deeth, President of Companies Committed to Kids. “There is a right way to have these kinds of conversations and that is being open, being non-judgmental and being a really good listener,” added Peplar. Parents Global News spoke to agreed their child’s mental well-being is a priority. Marion Mason said her eight-year-old son Russell is confident and outgoing in most situations, but he’s not a huge fan of change and can be anxious in new situations. But the support of family and friends helps him through, as well as conversations about his feelings and concerns. “We have a lot of those kinds of chats,” said Mason. Chats she is more than happy to have. © Shaw Media, 2015 Maybe we should all move to Canada...  Sure why not the more the merrier :) Can i stay at your place?

Trade your beautiful soul/ qualities if you would be cured from a chronic illness/injury etc. I just made a post in the stress thread, that inspired me to write this thread. For example, If you suffered from a debilitating chronic illness, that caused much suffering and pain etc.....and there was no cure IF you had the option to be cured of your chronic illness and trade it in for your beautiful soul, for example in my case, compassion/empathy, whatever your best quality is, would you? For people who haven't got chronic illnesses and they CANT imagine what they would do,im trying to make this easier for you, but the same still applies. For example, if you needed your leg amputated etc..... and you could trade your soul/best qualities and keep your leg and save your self from illness, would you? I am asking about YOU personally. BUT if people want to add their children to this, that is fine. I know that's a tough one, so please don't feel you have to answer, what ever you feel comfortable with. I AM FOCUSING ON PHYSICAL ILLNESSES FOR THIS THREAD. Thanks peeps.  I just saw this thread. I think Im not understanding something. How could i trade an innate quality of mine to preserve a physical one? It kinda makes me think of Dorian Gray, in a way.....or vampires...trading something permanent for something temporary...something spiritual for something physical... Tho i do know of stories that reflect the flipside of this. When people approach God or a saint for a cure of what ails them whether it be a sickness, a personal problem or whatnot...they usually do this when they've exhausted all other options....they ask for something to be given them, and if it happens, they would in turn, pledge themselves, sometimes even their family or their children to minister to their faith, but this is more out of gratitude, rather than a bargain or exchange... This concept makes more sense to me. I just saw that you wont be posting on this thread again.,,i just wanted to put my two cents in.

@sm8 Sounds like you are doing all the right things; you're finding the triggers. Maybe get a second opinion from another physician; due to the vomiting. I'm sure you do it, but make sure rehydratring after vomiting episode. Thank you Another option is the specialist but because of his age trying to lesson his migrains is a gamble. Not very many five year olds have migraine. So he would be a guinie pig. You are right...he is going to be a diagnostician's dream... |

Revenge vs Karma

I can't figure out your question or point. Isn't revenge and Karma two different things? Yes they seem to be. But for people who do not believe in God, the point is moot. It's probably better to have the topic title as : God's justice vs the universal concept of karma Your question did lead me to this question: if you would take it upon yourself to take revenge on someone whom you feel have wronged you, wouldn't karma catch up with you anyways? I would like to step on this Pansytilly and give my take as someone Godless but believe on goodness and accountability. Keeping in mind that the OP is Revenge Vs. Karma. Tiptoeing as much as I can to be politically-correct- This is how I see Revenge: A Premiditated choice -pestered by hate -easy to spot but uncontrollable -damaged & hurt: 1.bystanders who are in the way 2.the person who is intent on revenge 3.the person who is recepient of the revenge Versus - This is how I see Karma: Consequences of your Actions I can explain it through a concrete example: Words - on Posts When people post words, they are accountable to it. No matter how credible or questionable you are, people will always go back and check your words. no matter what are the intentions: to take revenge to flirt to goad to confuse to reject to hurt to discourage to clear out things to defend to help to teach a lesson to point to the right direction People are accountable to those words. Whether the motive is calculating or innocent there will always be consequences - Consequences: People reading the posts, will always read it the way they perceive things, the way they understand it, the way they see themselves, the way they can relate to it the way their emotions are involve. Even if the post is not for them. Consequences are the effects of people's words as implied. As with deeds, people have to live with the consequences, of their words and actions. So in revenge vs. karma, why not - -let time differentiates? -let time corrects wrong impressions? -let time clear out things? -let time unfolds what needs to be clarified? Halftruths are more dangerous and misleading. There are just things, that can't be achieve and done in a day. People cant always ask someone to intervene and fix things. There are just things that are unresolved and will need time to uncover the truth. If in time people will see it as God's justice or see it as karma, some, like me will see it as consequences of their actions. Basically, you are saying, it is what it is or what you make of it. But you are talking about accountability of each person on their own and in their own terms. Im not removing personal accountability. But the way i see it, if everyone were able to be wholly accountable enough towards others as to accept the full extent of the consequences or results of their actions on their own, and with respect to others, without any external reason or force to regulate them, then there would be no need or use for the concept of karma or revenge or God's justice. But we know that that is not often the case. When other people have to live with the consequences and results of what others do directly or indirectly to them, good or bad, with or without intent, that is when acceptance or rejection of karma, revenge and justice comes into play. Some effects can last one lifetime, some can last for generations. Ideally, the concept is that everyone is made equal in all aspects. We know that is not possible to the fullest extent in the eyes of our fellowman. The saying goes is that only in the eyes of God are we all on equal footing....ashes to ashes, dust to dust...naked we came, naked we will leave. Hence, God (for revenge) or the universe (for karma) can best determine the ideal (for justice). That was the initial concept of the post and that is why i said the point becomes moot in academic if one does not believe in that. |

Stress

Stress is a biochemical reaction to things that are "stressful". Originally, stress was a signal that you were about to be eaten so it was time to run. Stress increased your heart rate, caused adrenaline to be pumped onto your blood, and caused your brain to focus ... usually on "fight or flight". If you didn't run fast enough you got eaten and the problem was solved. If you got away, your chemistry gradually went back to normal without ill effects. In today's world the causes of stress sometimes don't go away and cause our bodies to remain "stressed" which can lead to general health and mental problems. Exercise is a good and natural way to relieve stress. It tricks your body into thinking "I got away" and sends the chemistry back to normal. Sex is another good stress reliever. I am not sure if it works the same way as exercise but it certainly seems to work!  Exercise and sex?...Have you ever tried bacon-flavored chocolates?

Did stress add to the silver-white hairs on your head? Ive been getting more...  LOL I like to tease my "kids" that they made me grey but I started getting grey hairs long before I had kids. I think it is just part of the process of life. I would not color it because that really starts a vicious cycle and makes the hair more fargile rather than silky and soft like mine is now I am letting it be what it is. To me it looks pretty silly to put a twenty year old color on a sixty year old face. I have found the people who accept you as you are are always way better companions. FYI you learn that just because there is snow on the roof does not mean there is not fire in the furnace. lol Lol...thinking about my whites... Have you ever noticed that if you pull one out, 4 or 5 sprout out almost immediately to replace that one strand??? Gah!!!  Maybe i should just bleach my hair platinum blonde....lol..

Selected quotes by Edmund Burke
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little. Our patience will achieve more than our force. But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths. Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men. Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality. Among a people generally corrupt, liberty cannot long exist. People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors. Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites…in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate. |

I supposes I could run the idea past the pediatrician and see what his thoughts are regarding foods being possible migraine trigger's. Go for it. Unless your pediatrician is a naturopath, a homeopath, a sociopath, or Dr. Mehmet Oz (can be difficult to tell the difference, sometimes). If that is the case, get another pediatrician. Keep in mind multiple possibilities, including the possibility that a 5yr old who doesn't like to eat his peas has discovered that pretending to have a headache gets him out of having to eat his peas. Or anything else unpleasant. S. Actually he loves broccoli He has actual migraines he screams in pain says his head hurts barfs and then goes to sleep. The pediatrician saw him ones while having a migraine he said that is what it is. My friend also watched him while I was at work she called me panicking wondering what she should do. His pediatrician wrote a doctors note for the school so he can have Motrin in case he has a headache there but they need to call me first. Have you tried to make a migraine journal? List down food stuff he eats so that you can trace if his migraines are triggered by any class of food or brand of food, or even an additive in the food item...? |

Y'all gonna burn in hell   Y'all should read your bible. Then Y'all would know what it says. Yes but not everyone here is Christian so why would they read the Bible Do other religions believe in Hell fire? Not sure. Do atheists? Buddhists? Wiccan? no, atheists do not... why should i live my life being scared of burning forever? seems that if there is a god, it would have better things to do than worrying about me, you know, with the entire universe and all... Kinda like a dad who's too busy with work and stuff to concern himself with his kid's welfare? no, more like a scientist looking at a one celled organism... there are trillions of them, one or two is not going to matter...if what the bible says is true, then god created the heavens and the universe (which makes me wonder where it was at before then)- and we know through science that there are billions and trillions of planets and stars in the universe, so why should i be that self centered to think god would know who/what (or even to begin to care) i am? Now that right there is a pretty self-centered thing to say
