My kind en Selfbeeld
Selfbeeld begin al baie vroeg in n kind se lewe te vorm. Kinders neem die boodskappe van primere versorgers, internaliseer dit en maak dit deel van die eie-ek. Later raak maatjies se boodskappe belangrik asook onderwysers en ander belangrike mense in hul lewens. Op n punt moet hulle wel instaat wees om n eksterne boodkap te neem, op te weeg en dan te kan besluit of hierdie boodskap wel op hulle van toepassing is of nie.
Forgiveness; Starts With A Choice – Article 2
The one thing that has stood out for me these couple of weeks is the fact that; everyone agrees and understands that forgiveness is, in actual fact, a choice that has to be made; something that has to be decided on, and then implemented. This idea of forgiveness as a choice was not something that all my clients believed or supported when sitting down at the beginning of our sessions though.
Die rol van troeteldiere in jou kind se lewe
Ek besef dat alle kinders nie die voorreg het om troeteldiere te hê nie en dat daar sekerlik redes is waarom hulle dit nie kan he nie, maar ek wil graag met hierdie artikel die positiewe impak wat troeteldiere op kinders se lewens kan speel bespreek. Wanneer daar na die voordele van die mens-dier verhouding gekyk word, kan daar fisiese, emosionele en sosiale voordele geidentifiseer word.
Is Huweliksberading Die Moeite Werd?
As jul albei hierdie huwelik wil red en wil omskep in die verhouding wat jul albei ingedagte gehad het toe julle voor die kansel gestaan het, kan huweliksberading van groot waarde wees.
Does Marriage Counseling Work?
You are past the point of being in trouble, your relationship is on the rocks and you both know it. Sure you might have flirted with the idea of attending marriage counselling, but the question that is haunting you is; does marriage counselling actually work or is it a huge waste of time and money?
Die belangrikheid van ‘n goeie selfbeeld in kinders
Kinders word ongelukkig nie met ‘n goeie selfbeeld gebore nie en talle aspekte kan die ontwikkeling van ‘n goeie selfbeeld in kinders benadeel. Dit is grootliks die taak van die ouers om ‘n goeie selfbeeld in kinders te bou. Soos kinders egter ouer raak, speel ander persone soos onderwysers en maats ook 'n rol in selfbeeld ontwikkeling. Hierdie aspekte is moeilik vir ouers om te beheer, maar indien ouers reeds 'n positiewe selfbeeld in hul kinders ontwikkel het, sal dit vir kinders makliker wees om negatiewe aspekte van buite positief te hanteer.
When a relationship ends
One day you can imagine moving on, the next you are angry at everyone, yourself included, the next day you can’t stop crying. This is normal – every person grieves differently. It’s important to note as well, that you can’t really stick to a time line here. How long does it take to “get over someone?”… It takes as long as it takes.
Laughter: the best medicine for my relationship?
Humour helps us cope. They refer to Victor Frankl as an example and explain how he describes his experience in the concentration camps during the Second World War and their dependence on humour to help them cope from one day to the next; in his book “Man’s search for meaning”. Drs Parrot suggests that we as couples find something to laugh about together at least once a day.
They are most definitely not the only ones who suggest laughing together as a way of strengthening relationships. Dr Harville Hendrix, the author of “Getting the love you want”, suggest that couples focus on incorporating a child-like fun element into their lives, at least once a week; and I quote: “this exercise is designed to intensify your emotional bond and deepen your feelings of safety and pleasure”.
Physical needs – your body, physical touch and your emotions
When it comes to our physical needs, I am going to differentiate between our body’s physical- and health needs, our need for physical touch and also the role that emotions can play when it comes to the body. When we look at needs, we can distinguish between fore- and background needs. Your foreground need is your immediate need, for example hunger. When you’re foreground need is not met, your other needs will stay at the background, creating problems. Physical needs are often foreground needs and thus it’s very important to be aware them.
Your physical body- and health needs are very important.
To Spank or not to spank…that is the question…
Some books say, a firm hand when they are young, makes it easier when they are older, other books say, don’t crush their little spirits. Some say never ever humiliate a child by spanking him/her, others say a spanking now and again is sometimes all that is needed to open up those little ears…so the conundrum of this situation is apparent.
