Carers of a Mentally Ill Person - Coping Strategies and a Focus on Recovery
May-30-2008 By admin
Carers do a very important job and those dealing with mental illness can find themselves in very stressful situations. If a carer does not take care of themselves it will not be long before health problems arise for them too. Strategies for dealing with the day to day issues and focusing on the recovery of the mentally ill person are issues to be addressed.
I used to think that anyone afflicted with a mental illness was going to be a very ill person for the rest of their lives.

Why Judging Is Good Not Bad - Critical Thinking And The Role Of Parents
Mar-12-2008 By admin
Recently some mothers of young children engaged in a discussion about passing judgment. It was unanimous; they would all teach their children that being judgmental of other people is wrong. They would be sure not to model judgmental behavior and they would correct their children if they caught them being judgmental. Sounds good in theory…
but, shouldn’t children be taught and encouraged to be judgmental?
This article is not advocating teaching children to be judgmental of people based on skin color, physical ability, religion, intellectual, or economic differences, of course. It is about teaching children about values and behavior and assessing situations.
