<r>I just read <URL url="</s>this news<e></e></URL> about autism:<br/> <QUOTE><s> </e></QUOTE> See the <URL url="</s>official study<e></e></URL> here.</r>

:laugh: nice! :D

My thoughts exactly Yeah... I am going to do some searches and see if I can find that in french (I would have asked for a reference to yours, but they probably aren't in the right language!)

Back to the topic at hand: my SD has just started her school for a few week now in first grade (she is 7 y. old). Her mom was working with her on her homework, and she was so discouraged, so I took her place instead. And went WTF?!? SD is learning to read, so here is what her homework was: on...

To my knowledge, studies do not support the idea that homework is beneficial. There are several prominent authors who analyzed this question: The case against homework: how homework is hurting our children and what we can do about it (Bennet & Kalish) Read their fact sheet here. Interesting...

For those of us who are geeks like me, this article really explains it well. Perhaps it will change your mind about while privileges, even in UK? An small extract from this article:

Same reflection here. Troll radar is on.:radar:

Thanks Everyone! Yeah, it was quite a crazy journey, I must say. Don't know yet what's ahead of me, but my girlfriend is going to kill me if I don't at least settle down for a few years before I go back for a PhD :D And I need to see how I can position my career to use my new degree at its best...

Hi everyone! For those who have seen me here for a long time and then hadn't seen me in a while - an update: My master's degree is now over, I have deposited my thesis and it's all approved. Two years and a half of solid work, it's strange... I almost feel sad now. But also quite happy! Finally...

While that concerns honors you, I suggest you read the content of this forum: you will find many examples of detailed account of situations, while the identity remains perfectly confidential. This being said, I do understand that the need for strict confidentiality may outreach beyond...

According to the report cited above, Malaysia, Korea, Ukraine and USA are the only places with 21 years old limit, at least amongst the countries reported. There are also a few at 20 years old, namely Norway (for spirits only), New Zealand (but children are permitted to consume alcohol at any...

Don't hesitate, let me know if I can be of help. I'll be happy to provide insights, if I can. :)

Actually, the legal age for alcohol widely varies in different countries across the globe. 21 is only in USA... and even then, it does not cover alcohol consumption in home, supervised by parents. Full report from the International Center for Drinking Policies here Interestingly, from this...

Yes, the dynamic here may be more complex than simply a question of too much or not enough attention. At 5 years old, it is quite certain that he wants to emulate others, wants to feel like he is doing the same kind of things that the big people do, want to feel equal to them. The pipe incident...

Cybele, I am lacking some context if I am to try to help your situation through the systemic approach. From what I have gathered so far, your little one seems well adjusted. I can see he is the last born in a pretty big family, so naturally he probably feels the less heard and the less...

Yes, exactly! The purpose of a parental intervention should be, IMO, to have the child focus on the issue and find an effective solution to the root cause. Timeouts is an intervention only aimed at changing a behavior through conditioning, which fails spectacularly when it comes to have the...

One last comment, Mark. You display in your signature that you are the CEO of a company who is making their money out of selling books and giving conferences about how to control children using behavioral techniques. So pardon me if I don't exactly expect you to be objective about this...

Mark, I am fully aware of research, as I am a researcher myself. And I am part of the professional field as a family life educator, so I know what I am talking about. Yes, yes, you can indeed find dozens of studies that promotes the use of time-outs. And yes, totally, they are WAY better than...

Oh great. Another time-out guru. I am appalled to see it is still advised, despite the profound attachment issues that it causes on the long run. :eek: A simple article here from Dr. Laura Markham about timeout, What's wrong with time-out. :no: Please don't.

They are no more generalized than your scenarios. And they are based on developmental psychology, which happens to be my expertise. Perhaps you should consider actually listening to the answer you get? You are the one who chose to ask them. Then it shouldn't be a problem for you to provide the...
