Kids with Character: April 2008
http://kidswithcharacter.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 20, 2008. Kids' Word vs. Parents' Word. Very soon after I started working in the schools, some kids started to disclose the ways in which parents had frightened them, hit them, yelled at them- basically behaved badly. Other adults passionately believe that the kids are telling the truth- after all, why would they lie? As a teacher working within the school system I am obligated to report abusive/neglectful behavior. Obviously, the question is: what is abusive/neglectful behavior? Both my pe...

Kids with Character: Ask Dr. Dana
http://kidswithcharacter.blogspot.com/2009/08/ask-dr-dana_17.html
Monday, August 17, 2009. Ask Dr. Dana. Why does my 13 year old get so emotional and overwhelmed about everything? She’s only in middle school. What these well meaning parents fail to take into consideration is that stress is relative and feels real and overwhelming to their child. Adolescents don’t “experience” their situation from an adults’ perspective or by comparing their level of stress to an adult’s. They can’t. To teach your children how to manage stress start by listening and validating their spe...
