Can she get them back? New year! Legal custody can be: Joint, where both parents share the right and responsibility to make the important decisions about the health, education, and welfare of the children. Right now I feel as if my life is a mess because I seem to be doing horrible in my school work as well which is understandably reasonable given the fact that I am indeed a teenager but I know that I can do better, I admit that from time to time i have considered the easy way out more than once a day due to stress, family problems and anger issues and I have been known to be a little unstable from time to time. These laws boil down to being as ruthless, selfish, manipulative, and deceitful as possible. Lori was Wally's little Princess, and made it known, that on no uncertain terms, was I to touch her. That pissed me off. Types of custody orders There are two kinds of child custody: Legal custody, which means who makes important decisions for your children like health care, education, and welfare , and Physical custody, which means who your children live with. Quotations in the margins amplify the lesson being taught. Need Help?

  • Managing Your Toddler's Behavior a Famous
    Managing Your Toddler’s Behavior A famous parenting expert, Penelope Leach, reminds us that our toddlers are “no longer a baby, but not yet a child.” Toddlers have specific needs for guidance, attention and structure. Here are a few things to keep in mind. 1. Toddlers need a great deal of structure in their lives. We can develop these plans by making sure that we are realistic in our expectations of their attention span, activity level and understanding. Check with our web site section on child development for more specific information. Keep routines in order, as you go through the daily events of dressing, eating, bathing and bedtime. The more a toddler expects these daily activities, the easier it is to make sure they are completed successfully. 2. Toddlers need to feel they have some control or “say” in their lives. Give your toddler just two choices for snack, drinks and clothes. You may say, “Would you like to wear your sweater or your jacket, today?” to avoid a conflict. You know that either choice fine. Offer these choices only when you know the outcome is safe and healthy. 3. Transitioning from one activity to another can be difficult for toddlers. Picking up toys to music or coming to the table “like a butterfly” will make those changes easier to make. Toddlers, like all of us, respond best when they are warned about an activity change approaching. “When this CD is over we need to put the crayons away and get ready for bath time,” may be a way to ease into the next activity.

  • Simple Joys of Parenthood – Working Life's Paradox
    Simple Joys of Parenthood Page 1 Life’s Paradox Uncommon reflections of life matters Simple Joys of Parenthood – Working Life’s Paradox By Dr Yvonne Sum, BDS Hons, NLPTT, ACMC International Speaker & Personal Coach I was watching SuperNanny with the kids recently. What’s SuperNanny about? It is a reality TV show about how Jo Frost, a modern day Mary Poppins comes into a family’s life for a fleeting three weeks – observing the children with the parents in their family home, doing a needs analysis, prescribing a new order and routine, allowing them to road test it for 1 week on their own, returns to tweak a few things, and flies off onto a new challenging family. It is seemingly popular viewing too. I asked the kids what they thought about the show. Their comment: “We don’t need SuperNanny, Mummy!” Initial reactions – do they not like her and so would prefer her not to be around? Are we doing a good enough job being parents so we do not need a mentoring session with her (pat on our backs!)? Do we as a family just want to be left alone –warts and all (maybe we all prefer to do it our way!)? The fact that SuperNanny has become a household name in at least three continents – North America, Europe and now Australasia – in about a year shows that there is a consciousness of parents desperately crying out for help: ©Dr Yvonne Sum 2005 www.dryvonnesum.com Transforming Leaders of Tomorrow Today Simple Joys of Parenthood Page 2 Are we doing parenthood justice? Have we lost the natural instinct to parent? Is there a proper and right way to parent? Are there role models of ideal parenting? If so, are they available to mentor and coach us? Do we even want to be parents? In her book called Oh no, we forgot to have children!, Deirdre Macken writes about birth rates in Australia dropping from 3.5 births in 1961 to 1.7 in 2000 (echoed throughout the rest of the world) that are now shrinking well below replacement level: “The future of the world is being written now.

Based on an analysis of books, magazines, newspapers, radio, television, film, videotapes, software, and the Internet, and interviews with over 200 key professionals in fields such as communication research, parent education, journalism, and public relations, this report identifies strengths and weaknesses in media coverage of parenting. The report first reviews historical and social forces that have produced the expanded media interest in parenting. Strengths in the media's role are then identified, including the following:(1) parenting is a staple topic in many print media;(2) parenting initiatives within electronic media are expanding;(3) parental demand for media information is substantial and increasing; and (4) media can have a significant impact.

  • Marian Allsopp Dissertation
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by LSE Theses Online INVISIBLE WOUNDS: A GENEALOGY OF EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND OTHER PSYCHIC HARMS INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER This dissertation is about how the concept of harm, damage or wound is applied as a metaphor to a site often called the self or the soul. This is the social space of the individual subject, which is, paradoxically, placed by our language and culture in a person’s interior – a place where we are all said to be vulnerable and endangered by a potentially hostile environment. The thesis consists of a series of studies which are designed to show how the concept of harm to an inner life emerges from different discursive contexts, and how it does so in distinctly variable versions: psychological, emotional, neurological or social, in more or less stable hybrid forms. Using primary sources which are mostly documentary, supported by some interviews, the studies range from a look at the psychiatric history of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and at the story of its rewriting in English tort law; the recent reprised popularity of attachment theory and its marriage to neurology and a look at the career of the concept of the emotional abuse of children as a social problem category in the legal/administrative processes of Child Protection. These are introduced by a first chapter which concentrates on the metaphoric content of invisible wounds or psychic trauma 11 and the way it produces particular forms of the self. The studies which follow this are clustered around the literature and practices of the psychiatric, psychological, psycho-analytic, social work and legal professions, in order to show how the work of these professionals makes the concept of a psychic injury visible, discussible, treatable, administrable and justiciable.
