Children with Separation Anxiety

Dr. Fenibo Braide said...
Most times children who have been deserted, neglected or abused feel more anger than most other children. This is because their fundamental human needs have not been adequately met.
Solution: If you happen to find yourself in this situation, first accept the child's anger as legitimate. Reassure the child that he / she is worthwhile even when angry.
Children in relative care often feels that they are to blame for being taken away from their biological parents. They are also angry at themselves, therefore, inconsistent discipline like rules and boundaries in previous or present environment can attribute and lead to anger.
Please note: most times, as children grow close to the people with whom they live in relative care, they may also transfer some of their angry feelings from their biological family to these people. Sometimes they may or may not appreciate everything you do for them.
Solution: Be consistent with rules. Talk with the child about anger; what it is and what makes him or her angry, identify and recognize what triggers the child's anger. Then develop practical and safe methods for expressing anger feelings when the direct expression of anger is not advisable; and more importantly, take time to understand the child or children in your care.
Good luck !!!

The Caregiver

CAREGIVER

In the United States--according to MyMedicalReports.com, more than 22.4 million Americans provide unpaid help to older or ill persons in their community. These people are known as Caregivers and they include spouses, adult children, relatives, friends and health professionals. As we age it becomes increasingly important to plan for the future, sometimes too many of us simply decide that it will be easier to cross that bridge when we come to it. Unfortunately failing to plan ahead can bring unexpected costs to you or your family.

Caregivers need to know how to get access to available services. In addition, they need training and support in order to provide the best care possible. Again, sometimes more than anything else, the sick or the elderly just need someone to talk to, someone to help them relieve the stress of providing care. To get answers to all your family and professional caregiving questions or training, visit Zion Health.

Philosophy---01

Philosophy

My mother had taught me that practical wisdom is the core value system of moral philosophy----That is: knowing good and bad. Of course she was right, it means that there is always consequences for ones deliberate action of good and evil.

It means that even when you are in your Sunshine days with voices in the crowd and friends busy with your praise. Be not unkind or proud. Think about the old friends the most. For times cruel flood arise, your beauty will be lost to all eyes---but these eyes. You are a pride to mankind and so shall you be remembered.

I believe it is never too late nor too early to care for the well-being of the soul. I also believe that as human beings we should be accustom to the believe that death will be of no concern to human life but caring of the soul------To my beloved mother who passed away at Buguma on Thursday, February 25, 2010. May Your Soul Rest in Perfect Peace.
