See Why Narcissism IS Useful (part 1)

Teach your children to moderate narcissism, says famous French psychoanalyst Claude Almos

If parents fail to intelligently manage the process, which is important for emotional survival, they will prepare their successors for better life and will not let those extremes that turn into narcissism pathology.

Anger Management – Master the Anger before It Masters you

narcissism

Moderate narcissism may be really good for person’s development

Narcissism is a complex concept that has acquired very negative meaning and is seen mainly as a kind of mental illness, illustrated by mythology. According to the legend of the cursed nymph that overlooked a beautiful young man sees his image in the waters of the stream and can no longer take his eyes from it. He was so attracted by his reflection that tries to kiss him, he falls into the water and drown becomes a flower bearing his name – Narcissus. This extreme form of self-love not really leads to anything good.
The term does not only cover the extremes, says Almos. Between this to think you worth nothing, and to think that you are the most important person in the world should have a happy medium – a “normal” narcissism, which is required of man. Recently told BBC writer philosopher Mark Vernon also defended this form of narcissism.
Each baby is first attached to itself. At this earliest stage of life human being is itself the center of the world. Studies show that recordings of their own crying baby to rest while recordings of crying babies do other irritable.

See How Chronic Diseases CHANGE Character!
In other studies, only 15 hours after birth, the little man began to discern the voice, face and the smell of his mother, as a part of its own body. When she runs in every sound, it begins to think that has on it the same power as the hand or foot.
This primary narcissism as Freud called it, lasts short because the child gradually realizes that his mother is not a piece of it, it has its own existence and reality out there on which his thought has no power. According to Almos this discovery has extremely important consequences, because it makes the child able to react to the outside world and start to choose the objects of love – people or objects. At the same time, it still loves itself.

The Infection that Plagues Our Young Children

Find what you need to know about one of the most widespreadеd diseases among our children

infection-scarlet-fever

Scarlet fever is widespread childhood infection, especially in countries with temperate and cold climates 

Scarlet fever (scarlatina) is widespread childhood infection, especially in countries with temperate and cold climates. Scarlet fever is a caused by a group of A streptococci

The only source of infection is another sick person

The most dangerous are infected with mild infections. The mechanism of transmission is airborne, the air is being infected by speaking, coughing, sneezing and separation of spray droplets and saliva. Transmission of infection can happen also from the food, most often with dairy products. It is not excluded to be transmitted through dirty hands or objects.

The increased incidence of scarlet fever in the autumn and winter

It is associated with the beginning of the school year and the children stay indoors (schools, kindergartens and nurseries). Most often the infection is transmitted to children from 1 to 10 years of age.

The ‘front door’ is the infection of the lining of the upper respiratory tract.

The incubation period is from 4 to 6 days

Onset of the disease is acute, with fever, headache, fever – up to 38 – 39 degrees, sore throat, vomiting, impaired general condition. Mucosa of the pharynx, soft palate and tonsils are fiery. The tongue is heavily taxed, but the tip and edges remain free of the ‘coating’. Submandibular and cervical lymph nodes are enlarged and tender. Face and cheeks are swollen with fiery red color. Rash affects the upper part of the neck. Only for a few hours it can cover the whole body. The skin is very red and dry. The greatest rash is on the forearms, elbows and knees, lower abdomen and inner thigh.

Sweet Temptations and Children – Let tha War begin!

More than ever, our children take daily super sweet foods and drinks

Consequences should not be underestimated!
Flavored lollies, fruit milk, biscuits, lollipops, wafers, chips … all contain sugar in one form or another. Researchers from the University of Calgary have analyzed a number of foods such as milk and cereals, particularly marked for ages up to 3 years, and found that more than half of the surveyed products, at least 20% of calories are contained sugar.

Diet Traps: 9 Foods with TOO MUCH Hidden Sugar

children and sweets

Nutritionists recommend that children should consume up to 5 teaspoons of sugar a day

Over the past 30 years, manufacturers gradually replaced sugar as a sweetener in foods and beverages with high fructose corn syrup (VFTSS) – also known as “glucose corn syrup.” In addition to its ability to increase the durability of the product, it mixes more easily with liquids and retains its sweetness better than sugar.
For this reason is very widely used in the products of big companies. Today it is contained in virtually all processed foods and beverages – cornflakes and other breakfast cereals, ice cream, soups, white breads, cakes, fruit juices, sauces and much, much more. It is believed that its wide use in many of our daily foods consumed accounts for the high percentage of overweight children in developed countries.

11 Absurd Things Claimed to be “Healthy”
How much sugar is useful for children?
Nutritionists recommend that children should consume up to 5 teaspoons of sugar a day. In fact, the analyzes showed that adolescents (even those up to 3 years) take different forms to 16 teaspoons, and in some cases even leads to 24 teaspoons sugar, which corresponds to about 20% of the recommended daily calorie intake.
Why sugar is so harmful?
Scientists are adamant that large doses of sugar and high-calorie food leads to obesity and serious health consequences in later life. Increase levels of triglycerides (bad cholesterol, etc.), and this leads to a greater risk of damage to the arteries and heart disease. High levels of triglycerides can cause severe inflammation of the pancreas.
The liver is also exposed to great stress when we eat so many sweet foods. Faced with such high doses of fructose, it cannot cope with processing it and some of it is converted into fat molecules. They, in turn, enter the bloodstream and lead to rising cholesterol and triglycerides. Furthermore, fructose blocks production of the hormone leptin, which is responsible for our sense of fullness and this further enhances the risk of obesity.
Of course, it’s not about fructose in fruit, where it naturally contains. There is no danger to overload with fructose from fruits, because it is easy to reinforce the fiber in them slows digestion and liver not hampers the sudden accumulation of large amounts of fructose, as happens when you consume sugary drinks for example.

What to do?
It’s pointless to go to extremes to try to isolate total sugar in various forms of child’s menu.
Yet here are some tips how to reduce intake of sweet a little:
Read carefully the packaging of food (biscuits, juices) where there is a description of the nutritional content and calories. Fix your attention on the sugar and keep in mind that 4 grams is 1 teaspoon
Ban all sugary drinks. When your child is thirsty, give water. If offering juice, let’s have fresh juices, and if they are pasteurized (they almost always have sugar or other sweetener) amount should not exceed 100 to 200 grams for children 1 to 6 years for a day.
Use sugar strategically. Most days try to save the sugar in the diet of the few. Add honey or maple syrup, guided by the rule of the recommended dose.
Create more active pursuits child. Take regular walks, but only to ride in the cart or sitting on a park bench. Gather a few other children wear ball, wheel and other toys that stimulate the activity of kids. Children, who move regularly, can take more sugar than the recommended daily dose.
Think of healthier alternatives to dessert. First in this series are the fruits. Kids love a sweet of them – pear, melon, apricot. Teach him to start with them when they ask for something sweet. When you have a special occasion offers small portions – ice cream, a few pieces of dark chocolate.
Be flexible and do not go to extremes. Total ban on sweets at home would make it even more desirable and the child will use every opportunity to touch the “forbidden fruit.”
