TV as Birth Control: Defusing the Population Bomb - Community - Utne Reader
"Earlier this year Stanford human geographer Martin Lewis asked his students a simple question: How did they think U.S. family sizes compared with those in India? Between Indian and American women, who had the most children? It was, they replied, a no-brainer. Of course Indian women had more—they estimated twice as many. Lewis tried the question out on his academic colleagues. They thought much the same.
But it’s not true....."

If only American kids could eat school lunches like they do in France - Salon.com

While some schools have completely overhauled their school menus to contain fresh vegetables and grains, others still struggle with meeting nutritional guidelines. But for students in France, it appears that school lunches are the least of their concerns......" CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE

Married to a Narcissistic Husband? Proceed with Caution! | The Narcissistic Life
About Alexander Burgemeester
Alex Graduated in Neuro-Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. He worked a few years in a nursing home where he specialized himself in neurodegenerative disorders (alzheimer, parkinson), Personality Disorders and Emotional disorders (depression). Now he specializes in sharing his knowledge on public websites. Certainly all relationships have challenges. But being married to a narcissistic husband can be a very complicated and thorny journey. A narcissistic husband can be vain, insensitive to your needs, violent, and exceptionally critical of you. Living with a person like that can be destructive and demoralizing. It can leave you feeling confused and hurt by their seemingly incomprehensible actions. Theoretically, it is possible to negotiate a relationship with a narcissistic individual; but keep in mind that most narcissists are unlikely to recognize or take responsibility for needing to adjust the current unhealthy relationship.....

Indigo Children - CNN - Andersen Cooper
Whether they are called the "Disciple
Generation" by Christians, or "Indigo Kids" by
New Age followers, or Millenials by
demographers children born after 1978 are
said to be different. They are empathetic,
curious, strong-willed, independent, and often
perceived by friends and family as being weird.
They possess a clear sense of self-definition
and purpose and also exhibit a strong
inclination towards spiritual matters from early
childhood.
These children have also been described as
having a strong feeling of entitlement. These
children have a high intelligence quotient, an
inherent intuitive ability, and a resistance to
authority. Indigo children function poorly in
conventional schools due to their rejection of
authority, being conceptually smarter than their
teachers. They are non-responsive to
authoritarian, guilt/fear/manipulation based
discipline. Many of these children labeled or
diagnosed as having ADHD. They are avoiding
or leaving the modern Church model in droves
as they find deep spirituality in the gifts God
has given them.

The Gratitude Challenge: Does Expressing Thanks Every Day Make You Happier? | Lindsay Holmes
The Gratitude Challenge: Does Expressing Thanks Every Day Make You Happier?
"In an interview with author Gretchen Rubin, author and University of Houston research professor Brené Brown said, "I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness -- it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude." Brown's philosophy wasn't wrong, at least not according to research. Studies show that the more you express thanks, the happier you are....." CLICK HERE TO READ MORE!

"How to Raise Grateful Children"

ONE PASTE FROM THIS ARTICLE: "...........Teach actions. Saying thank you is fine. It is. But in these busy, crazy times of social networking and little connection to real people, it’s important to teach children to SHOW UP and give thanks. Have them write out their thank yous daily in a journal. Call instead of emailing. Give cookies to the school janitor.

Give thanks. For all children, writing or drawing a picture of the things they are thankful for is a great way to get them thinking about being thankful. For the ones not quite ready for that kind of daily devotion, a simple bedtime ritual works wonders. Ask your child what she is grateful for today? Share your own idea or two with her as well.
Make cards. Every now and then, I buy blank cards and let the girls go crazy with decorating them anyway they want. We send those cards to the people in our life that need a lift. Thank you cards are a lost art that some of us really wish we could get people to spend more time on. Make a card. Give thanks daily. Spread joy weekly..........."

EXCELLENT ARTICLE! Back to Basics: Parenting, the Divine Blueprint and the Boundaries of Free-Will | The Power of Social Consciousness
"As parents, we certainly want what’s best for
our children. But how parents relate to their
children, in terms of expectations, is typically a
function of what parents deem as “best”.
Except in cases of abuse and neglect, most
parents mean well when they prescribe or
dictate certain goals, standards or aspirations
for their children. But many parents may be
shocked to learn that what they consider to be
dedicated and responsible parenting, often
constitutes a trespass across the boundaries of

The Best and Worst Places in America to Educate Your Child | Alternet
"Among the many topics parents tend to spend obscene amounts of time worrying about (are they safe? are they warm? are they well fed?), where to send one’s children to school can become a bona fide obsession. And with good reason: even as the debate continues about the value of a college degree, at the moment, level of educational attainment still carries significant weight in predicting future earnings. Even leaving “earnings potential” aside, most of us who care for children want to know that where we’re sending them each day is a place that’s safe and nurturing -- not mention teaching them a thing or two along the way."

Proof near-death experiences ARE real? New book reveals dramatic evidence | Mail Online
"As a nurse, I’m always cheered when I see a patient who appears to be making a good recovery. That certainly seemed the case with 60-year-old Tom Kennard, who’d been suffering from sepsis after surgery for cancer.
After a couple weeks in the intensive care ward, he was well enough to be moved from his hospital bed to a chair. Moments later, however, he suddenly slumped into unconsciousness.
There was no doubt at all that he was out cold. He responded neither to my urgent questions nor to the painful pressure of my Biro on his fingernails.
Worse still, his skin became clammy......."
