A Bully Free New Year

We are one week after the new year, do one last week, making those resolutions that many of us take for several reasons. We stopped doing all the changes we are trying to do too soon (Research shows that it takes twenty to twenty-eight days to build or break a habit), or take on something that we need to change, but really do not want to change. Keeping resolutions is not only that the resolution easy.One I hope I hope many people will this year, despite the fact that we have in the past New Year's Eve is to make 2011 a year bully-free. What? You're not a bully! Or are you without even realizing it? Some of us are and we are setting a bad example to people who need it most - our kids.I 'I worked with adolescents, most of my life and like any parent or teacher will tell you, kids do not do what say, do what we do. And many of us were better role models lately.Think the last election. Politicians on both sides of the aisle spent their advertising dollars constantly criticizing their opponent. Yes, I heard the argument that playing nice does not win elections. But our children are watching and modeling what they see. All we have to do is to note the prevalence of bullying recently to see that those behaviors are exposing themselves - often with catastrophic results.We as adults realize that political rhetoric is all part of the game, as it is disturbing at times. But teenagers, whose brains do not develop fully until they are 21, are not able to decipher what is real and what he has done for effect.Which leads me to the TV, movies and video games in their lives. Over the years these forms of communication have become more outrageous catering for the weaker side of humanity. I read a statistic in doing research last year said that at the age of 12, children were exposed to 12,000 simulated murders. In 21 years, have seen more than a million commercials.We can not change what is shown, but we can choose what we watch in particular in front of our children. We also need to be aware of what you are looking so you can at least discuss the content, helping them to realize that just because something is on TV or the Internet, should not be done. So not a true picture of who we are as human beings. We are much more than the news (news? O sharing th worst things that happened yesterday?) And reality shows indicate. In recent research, I found the statistic that for every negative event that happens, ten positive ones Thurs But no one hears about them.And then there's our behavior. Cursed with a driver lately? He said something unnecessarily rude to a family member? He screamed to the TV? We are human, of course, and there are times when we all Just Lose it. But if it is our way to spend a majority of our time if we want to go around being offended all the time from it all as if we were the center of the universe, then we are setting for example to the children who will go to bullying and worse. (In the time between writing and typing this on paper today, a young man killed in a congressman in Arizona and in the process of innocent bystanders killed and wounded many others.) Let's make a new habit, set a new resolution for 2011. If we all do our part and make a small positive change will begin to ripple throughout our society and give our guys a chance. It can be done. I've seen it happen in a public high school where he started with a class and spread throughout the school and a choice between the negativity community.Given, choose a child-response, however. Back to the Golden Rule of 'do unto others as you would have them to you Gio'. Dr. Wayne Dyer, who is often seen on PBS with his wonderfully positive programs says that actually get an increase of serotonin, the hormone that good feeling, every time we do a kindness for someone. We also get a boost to our immune system, not a bad thing for these winter months. The great news is that research shows that those who receive the kindness get the same benefits as well and .... I like this part ... anyone who witnesses the act. Talk about win-win! Our children are watching, listening, and reflecting what we do. I have heard repeatedly that this is the first generation that does not expect that life is better than their parents. They deal with a world that we created for them. But we can change the tone of our country if we each do our part. The surprising thing is that when children have the opportunity to do good, to see a positive path in their lives, they will embrace. I've seen it happen over and over again. We do not have them this opportunity? Let us make 2011 the beginning of a better life for American children. Let's make a happy, healthy, free from bullying new year! [ABSTRACT] There are 1 week in the new year, one week prior to making these resolutions that many of us are not in possession of a number of reasons. We stop for all the changes that we make our way to early (research shows that it takes 21-28 days to build or break a habit), or you think something that we need to change, but in reality it takes will not change . Keeping resolutions is simply not true that the resolution easy.One, I hope, I hope to do a lot of people this year, despite the fact that we are already past New Year's Eve until 2011 to a bully-free year. What? You are a tyrant! Or are without realizing it? Some of us are and we have a very bad example for people who need it most - our kids.I have worked with young people most of my life and like any parent or teacher will tell you, do not tell children what to do that we do what we do. And many of us are not the best role models were lately.Think recent elections. Politicians on both sides of the aisle spent their advertising budgets always criticize their opponents. Yes, I have argued that to hear the playback of any great electoral victory. But our children are watching and modeling what they see. All we have to do is to note the prevalence of bullying seen recently, which show the same behavior - often with disastrous results.We in adulthood, that political rhetoric, all part of the game is to catch is sometimes realized. But teenagers, whose brains are not fully developed until they are 21, are not able to decipher what is real and what leads me to effect.Which made for TV, movies and video games in their lives. Over the years, these media have become more outrageous forms of catering to the weaker side of humanity. I read a statistic research in the past year, which must have been exposed by the age of 12, children up to 12,000 simulated murders said. Have seen in 21 years, more than a million commercials.We, can not change what is shown, but we can decide what to see, especially against our children. We also need to be aware of what they observe, so you can at least discuss the content and helps them to understand that just because something is on television or the Internet, it needs to be not the fact. There is also a true image of who we are as people. We show a lot more posts (news? Or the division of the ten worst things that happened yesterday?) And reality shows. In recent research, I found the statistic that for every negative event that happens, ten positive. But nobody listens to them.And then there's our behavior. Cursed with a driver lately? He said something unnecessarily rude to a family member? Shouted the TV? We are human, natural, and there are times when we just lose all. But if the way in which we spend most of our time, if it offended all the time from everyone and everything is within walking distance, as are the center of the universe, then we are a model for children that will lead to bullying and worse. (In the time between the writing on the paper and tap today, killing a young person to a member of Congress in Arizona and in the process of innocent bystanders killed and wounded many others.) Create a new habit, set a new resolution for the ' year 2011. If we all do our part and make a small positive change will begin to ripple through our society and give our children a chance. It can be done. I've seen it happen in a public high school where he started with a class and spread throughout the school and the choice between community.Given negativity that you select an answer instead of kindergarten. Back to the golden rule "Treat others as you do not want to do to you". Dr. Wayne Dyer, who is often seen on PBS with his wonderfully positive programs, says that actually get an increase of serotonin, the feel good hormone, whenever we do a kindness for someone. We also get a boost for our immune system, not a bad thing for these winter months. The good news is that research shows that if the quality is the same benefit also .... and I like this part ... all the witnesses that act. Talk about a win-win! Our children are doing in films, music and mirrors what we do. I have repeatedly said that this is the first generation that does not expect life to be better heard than their parents. It is a world we have created for them to do. But we can change the tone of our country if we want to do any of our contribution. The surprising thing is that if young people the opportunity to do good, to have been seen in a positive way their life, embrace it. I've seen it happen from time to time. We do not have them this opportunity? Let the beginning of 2011 for a better life for the children of America. Leave us a happy, healthy, harassment-free New Year!
