Please signup and Visit our channel! In the early 1950′s, approximately 100000 immigrant children, primarily from North Africa, received X-ray radiation treatment for ringworm upon their arrival in Israel. At the time, the medical establishment thought ringworm was a grave danger to public health. It was later discovered that these treatments caused high rates of infertility, cancer and death. Through exhaustive research and testimonies of survivors, this emotional documentary unearths a possible conspiracy between American and Israeli health officials to initiate and fund this deadly medical experiment.

On 9th Dec 2009 – Ashwood College Auditorium- These small kids entertained the audience performing a Sri Lankan Song and stole everybody’s heart. They danced freely in their own way to the tune of ‘Wehi Pabalu’ originally sung by popular Sri Lankan singer Surendra Perera. Special tha nks go to the Essex Heights Junior staff specially Paula, Annie and Sherine. This song is not a kids song but Sherine selected that since the kids loved the music. As a Sri Lankan in the audience I was proud to see that a lot of Sri Lankan identities were introduced with this event. A big thanks to you from our community for that indeed.

Time Out Mats, Mom Approved, Nanny Approved, Kid Approved

When I was young my Mom, when extremely put out with my behaivor or frustrated with me, would send me into a large walk-in storage closet where I stayed until she asked if I was ready.   Not as bad as it sounds really, the door was never locked and there was plenty of room and light and I could actually enjoy it, so it probably wasn’t boring enough to be effective, but I knew when I was in there that I’d better have an apology ready to present when she asked if I was ready to come out….  No apology, then I must not be ready.    She didn’t call it Time Out, but that’s exactly what it was.

Everyone is pretty familiar with the term Time Out these days, but not every one knows exactly when and how to use this very effective form of discipline and training for their children.  We at Anything Joe’s do not claim to be parenting experts, but have found a parenting web site we can recommend for you to further your own research.  Today’s parents and teachers would balk at the thought of putting a child in a closet but now we have the time out corner or Time Out Mats to create a confined area for the children.

Basically the Time Out is the best discipline technique for children 2 to 5.  It is a tough concept to begin with, but if you are diligent and stick to your guns it is very effective.  Don’t become discouraged.  Focus on one behavior at a time, but be consistent, don’t say it if you don’t mean it!  Keep it up, they’ll be fine and remember it as a good thing, just as I do my closet time.

We chose this list of Time Out How To’s from the KidsGrowth.com website, because it balances the Time Out with a Time In.  A brief time when you show affection when you catch them being good.

Some parents become discouraged with time-out. Their child repeats misbehavior immediately after release from time-out. Other children seem to improve temporarily but by the next day are repeating the behavior the parent is trying to stop. Some children refuse to go to time-out or won’t stay there. None of these examples means that time-out should be abandoned. It remains the best discipline technique for 2- to 5-year-old children. If you use time- out repeatedly, consistently, and correctly, your child will eventually improve.

The following recommendations may help you fine-tune how you are using time-out.

Give your child more physical affection each day. Be sure your child receives two time-ins for every time-out each day. A time-in is a positive, close, brief human interaction. Try to restore the positive side of your relationship with your child. Catch him being good. Try to hold your child for 1 or 2 minutes every 15 minutes when he’s not in time-out or misbehaving. Play with your child more. Children who feel neglected or overly criticized don’t want to please their parents.

Use time-out every time your child engages in the behavior you are trying to change (target behavior). Use time-out more frequently. For the first 2 or 3 days you may need to use time-outs 20 or more times a day to gain a defiant toddler’s attention. Brief time-outs are harmless and there is no upper limit on how many times you can use them as long as you off-set them with positive interactions.

Use time-out. Don’t just threaten to use time-out. For aggressive behaviors, give no warnings, just put your child in time-out. Better yet, intercept your child when you see her starting to raise her arm or clench her fist and before she makes others cry. For other behaviors, remind your child of the rule, count to three, and if she doesn’t stop immediately, put her in time-out.

Put your child in time-out earlier. Put your child in time-out before his behavior worsens. Your child is more likely to accept a time-out calmly if he’s put in early rather than if he’s put in late (and screaming). Also, putting him in early means you will be more in control of your emotions. Try to put your child in time-out before you become angry. If you are still yelling when you put your child in time-out, it will not work.

Put your child in time-out quickly. Don’t talk about it first. When your child breaks a rule, have her in time- out within 10 seconds.

Don’t talk to your child during time-out. Don’t answer his questions or complaints. Don’t try to lecture your child.

Ignore tantrums in time-out. Don’t insist on quietness during time-out because it makes it harder to finish the time-out.

Return your child to time-out if he escapes. Have a back-up plan for further discipline; for example, holding a young child in the time-out chair or grounding an older child.

Consider increasing the length of time-out. If your child is over 3 years old and needs to be placed in time-out more than 10 times each day, a longer time-out may be needed to get her attention. A preschooler with a strong-willed temperament may temporarily need a time- out that lasts 2 or 3 minutes per year of her age. Children younger than 3 years should receive only brief time-outs (1 minute per year of age) because it is difficult for them to stay in time-out any longer.

Make the time-out place more boring. If your child doesn’t seem to mind the time-outs, eliminate sources of entertainment. Move the time-out chair to a more boring location. If you use your child’s bedroom, close the blinds or shades. Make sure that siblings or pets aren’t visiting. Temporarily remove all toys and games from the bedroom and store them elsewhere.

Use a portable timer for keeping track of the time. Your child is more likely to obey a timer than to obey you.

Be kinder in your delivery of time-out. This will help reduce your child’s anger. Say you’re sorry he needs a time-out, but be firm about it. Try to handle your child gently when you take him to time-out.

Praise your child for taking a good time-out. Forgive your child completely when you release her from time- out. Don’t give lectures or ask for an apology. Give your child a clean slate and don’t tell her father or relatives how many time-outs she needed that day.

Don’t punish your child for the normal expression of anger, such as saying angry things or looking angry. Don’t try to control your child too much.

Give your child more choices about how he takes his time-out. Ask, “Do you want to take a time-out by yourself or do you want me to hold you in your chair? It doesn’t matter to me.” (For older children, the choice can be, “By yourself or do you want to be grounded?”)

Give your child the option of coming out of time-out as soon as she is under control rather than taking the specified number of minutes. Some children feel overly controlled.

Use a variety of consequences for misbehavior. Ignore harmless behaviors. Also use distraction for bad habits. Use logical consequences–such as removal of toys, other possessions, or privileges–for some misbehavior.

Clarify with your child what you want him to do. Also clarify the house rules. Review this at a time when your child is in a good mood. This will help him be more successful.

Use time-out with siblings when appropriate. Be sure that one sibling isn’t being treated preferentially. If siblings touch the timer or tease the child in time-out, they should also be placed in time-out.

Teach all caretakers to use time-out correctly and consistently.

Bad Parenting is Bad for Your Kids

Of course the opposite is true as well because good parenting is certainly good for your kids. And the main point here is that bad parenting can begin at a very early age. You don’t have to wait until your child is up and about or even off to school. Doing the right thing and avoiding being a bad parent can start as soon as they are born.

Bad parents or parenting is seen in three areas – the abuse or neglect of your child, disagreements with your child and in ignoring your child. Now by abuse we do not refer to the appalling and illegal harming of a child but in such areas as the tone of voice, the failure to explain rules or the failure to administer the rules fairly. You don’t have to be a brute to be a bad parent.

Arguments are never much fun even they are between two adults who can think and reason well. An argument with your child, particularly a young child, is bad for everyone. Certainly it is bad for the youngster because they do not have the knowledge and power of their parent. The argument can result in the belittling of the child which in turn can lead to a low level of self-respect. This is seriously bad and can lead to more serious trouble down the track.

]]>

Whatever discussions you have with your child, bad parenting will see the adult being overbearing and too strong for their weaker offspring. By all means administer the rules you have set in place and clearly explained to your child, but do so in a calm and reasonable way.

Lack of quality time is sure sign of bad parenting. Placing a child in front of a television set and then getting on with your chores may be necessary at certain times but please understand, that is not quality time. Quality time means that both the parent and the child are focused on one another. They are giving of themselves to one another and the project on which they are engaged. Ignoring your child is a sure sign of bad parenting. Engage with them and in a solid and meaningful way.

Nowadays youngsters go to pre-school and kindergarten before they begin school so there is a lot of contact with other children and other adults. These activities are all good and have many benefits but only a bad parent would rely solely on these venues to give their child a good start in life. A good parent will have as many one-to-one sessions with their child as possible talking about their day at kinder etc. They will read to their child and on a regular basis. Bad parenting occurs when these times are neglected or only carried out spasmodically.

Remember your child is only young once and the more you work hard and sensibly at good parenting, the better it will be for your child today and for the years ahead. And even if you are a sole parent, bad parenting is something you can avoid and instead give your child the best for their life ahead.
