So often it is abuse and bullying at home that creates the bully at school. Your points, Gill, are well taken. I left an abusive situation with my kids and both became seriously ill from the stress of being homeless. I, myself, developed Lupus, which created a whole other level of stress for them throughout their lives. Thankfully they came through it all quite well but how the adults in their lives deal with ANY stress is the most critical part of a child's development.

If the kids could only understand the true damage they do by causing so much stress on others, perhaps they would change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935464200515505649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726893531170058575.post-58735829189841865432012-03-14T23:05:30.390-04:002012-03-14T23:05:30.390-04:00Love the poem.

Too many structured activities,too much shuffling around from place to place, push to achieve academically and learn in unnatural ways. The blur of wanting the best for today's children is putting them on a fast track that leaves them stressed and exhausted. <br /><br />- Bethe @balmerasbalmerashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11674543038246944098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726893531170058575.post-91094020476244006412011-07-09T11:11:30.687-04:002011-07-09T11:11:30.687-04:00Great post.

And many studies have shown the effects of maternal stress and/or depression on young children and infants. Part of helping our children is taking care of ourselves...it's important for kids to see that help is available for the whole family when needed. Particularly following trauma or extreme stress.Practical Parentinghttp://www.practicalkatie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726893531170058575.post-21307199162659552662011-04-27T11:36:38.682-04:002011-04-27T11:36:38.682-04:00Thank you for offering such a succinct distillatio...Thank you for offering such a succinct distillation of this incredibly important research!Sarah MacLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09739308128902024525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726893531170058575.post-40029204592240037272011-04-01T23:54:55.203-04:002011-04-01T23:54:55.203-04:00I think your underlying message on handling stress...I think your underlying message on handling stress is communication, i.e. being there for your kid. That is an enormous piece of good advice - and that message goes right through life, keeping the doors of communication open even when kids become teenagers and beyond. As they get older you don't have to be physically in their presence all the time but they need to know they can come to you, you can talk together and whatever they say you will respect them and their opinions, and in turn they will respect you and your opinions. We all have our failings but if we are there for each other (on email, a phone message or in person) stress is less, bonds are strengthened, and children are empowered. - And it all starts when they are small.<br /><br />I love your practical ideas of how to communicate positively with your little ones, while building respect and self confidence.

I am loving what you have to share about the importance of physical movement, especially in early childhood, and will look forward to what you may have to say about movement throughout a child's developmental spectrum, especially during adolescence when a whole new rewiring of the brain occurs! Keep up the inspiring and educational posts! I especially like how much you are encourage physical courage and development www.lionswhiskers.comLisa Dungatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612985595527435721noreply@blogger.com
