Children of Haiti

What is going to happen to the children is in Haiti after the media is left, and more

or less some kind of order is established?
The infants and younger children are going to be adopted. Many of them for sure. What is going to happen to the older ones and the teen agers? I mean those who will have no relatives close or distance who can take care of them. Where will they live, go to school be fed and clothed? So far, I did not even hear this problem addressed. Does any world organization have any plans? Any country willing to take them in house them, feed them supervise them and teach them so when they reach adulthood they can go home and contribute and help manage they own country.
Am I to naive to even think of such a possibility? Left on they own now many of them may became victims of rape abuse and crime. They may form bands or lured into ones. It is a frightening thought.
If you have any thoughts about this please live a comment. I would love to hear some of your opinion about this.

Concerned Parents

At some point, your child will come home from school upset, full of complaint telling you that they hate the teacher. How would you handle the situation?
Be alarmed or concerned ?
The best thing I would say is to listen calmly to the complaint without jumping to a conclusion.
The child could be upset and frustrated with a difficult test or assignment, or being embarrassed for being called down in front of the class
You have to listen very calmly, be reassuring and very patient. You have to ask the questions “what the teacher did or said to upset you?” What did the kids do, is anybody bullying you? From those answers, you may get the idea of what could have happened. If in a short time your child forgets and goes out to play that is great and you can move on, but if the child stays upset has problem going to sleep and tells you that he doesn’t want to go to school the next day then talk about it and try to solve the problem together to find a simple solution. You should also go to the next open house night and listen to the teacher expectation, talk to other parents and see if they have a similar problem or concerns. Go and pick your child up early and observe how he/she relates to other children.
If what you hear and see is in line with what you hear at home, then call the teacher and set up an appointment to share the concern with her and to try to solve the problem together.
If your child is old enough, bring him/her with you. It is important that they understand that a positive resolution with the teacher is the best solution for everybody’s concern.

Formative Years

The Formative Years

The first couple of years in a child’s life are wonderful, full of promise and potentials like first smile, first recognition, first steps, and first teeth.
All this create lots of excitement, however with this comes also anxiety and concerns.
Safety around the baby, safety about the crib, car seat, toys. Safety gate and safety latches in the kitchen. At this age your house will look like a giant playground (when my children and grandchildren where small, I used to call it a delicious mess) they will crawl climb and pull down everything they can get they little hands on.
You the parent are the most important thing in they young life. They fully depend on your nurturing, loving and caring.
This is your chance and opportunity to build an everlasting bond, by praising encouraging, caring, teaching and modeling. This are the formative years when they absorb everything like a sponge and done right this bond could outlast the teenage and rebellion years.
This is the most important and challenging job you will ever have in your life time
The challenges of the formative years will change over time and so will your child need.

I wonder, the young man who was ready to commit a catastrophe on Christmas day, how was his formative years and beyond?
The first five years in a child life is when the foundation is laid down and if it is strong will help him/her to grow up a responsible strong individual capable to face and meet all or most life’s challenges.
I truly believe this.
