Johnny is a fourth grade student who is involved in a school project to create a drama that depicts the plotting of a murder in such a manner that the murderer gets away with his actions. Johnny is told that his grade is based upon his ability to critically think of all the possible evidence trails he could leave and to be able to cover his tracks to leave no evidence. To make this task easier

Children need to develop critical thinking skills to make decisions about what they accept to be right or wrong, fact or fiction, based upon their ability to weigh the evidence of situations and come to the truth about what is occurring. Children who are forced to comply with situations that make them compromise their values or morals will foster codependency. The child will lose the ability to

You take her to the same places and buy her the same gifts for the past five years.  You stopped having the make out sessions with her and forget to tell her that she means the world to you.  What has brought you to this lowly state?  I bet she has started to fill her time with other activities away from you, which prompted you to spend time away from her doing the make bonding stuff.  On and on

If virtues and morality are going to be part of a system of healing and understanding the truth for our children and ourselves, we must adopt a thinking mentality over a feeling one. If it feels “good”, you still need to think through the situation to properly assess if it is good or right. Children and adults must learn to look objectively at situations based upon the virtue categories of love,

Jackie was married to William for over 20 years. Their children were both in college and Jackie found herself lost and unfulfilled in life. During the time her children were growing up in the home, she spent her every moment at home with them. She read them a story, said their prayers with them, and held them each night they had a nightmare. She took them to the doctors, made their meals, and

How do you rate the persons that you interact?  Do you rate them as intimate, friend, acquaintance, or stranger? Intimate relationships can include friends. Intimates are those persons you frequency have contact, disclosures personal information during contacts, and come close to in either physical, emotional or sexual ways. If you have many intimate relationships, you may need to re-evaluate

Have you ever been part of a therapeutic group? Group process is a good forum to teach behavioral expectations and problem solving in the middle and high schools. This is where relationship skills can be generalized. With a trained facilitator that works to develop a cohesive group, students will be drawn to openly discuss their trials and tribulations with one another. The facilitator will

Takers and caretakers – they often seem to find each other! As a counselor who has worked with relationships for 25 years, I can tell you that this is the most frequent relationship dynamic that I encounter. Takers are people who tend to be narcissistic – that is, they are self-centered with an excessive need for attention and admiration. The taker attempts to control getting love, attention,

Scott is a seventeen-year-old boy who knew that he needed to be by his mother’s side in order to protect her from his father. His mother told him how much she loved him and needed him. Scott was a well-built boy who was popular in school. Many of the girls in his class liked him. He grew fond of one of the girls and asked her out on a date. Scott’s mother did not approve of him going out with

Break-ups are becoming way too common and happen to everyone at some point in time.  I have included some basic issues that men and women need to consider before entering another intimate relationship. 1. Thinking you can change who he is. Many women get involved with men with undesirable habits, and cling to the relationship hoping that he’ll improve with time. They tend to feel like the man

The National Center for Education Statistics presented in 1993 that more elementary school children (29%) worried about being victims at school than senior high school students (20%). The NCES also reported that 73% of students in assigned public schools and 71% in public schools of choice reported having knowledge that either bullying, physical attack, or robbery was occurring in the school

Your children's emotional and physical development is very important. Our relationships and interactions with others are a result of our meeting or falling short of developmental milestones. If we are developmentally behind, the challenges of life begin to mount while we are ill-equipped to manage our emotional and physical responses to life issues. Here are some of the developmental issues that

Healthy relationships can be simply defined by 3 virtues that must be present in concert together in order to produce a healthy and meaningful relationship. Let's define these 3 wonderful virtues:a. Love – unconditional acts of kindness or generosity that do not require any response.b. Respect – The ability to appreciate and bring out the unique qualities of another person while placing value on

Many couples hurt one another due to their tendency to think irrationally.

To enhance your relationships, you need to gain more insight into the human condition. Show your talents and abilities to others and have them do the same to you. Adults need to feel productive and leave behind few regrets. You may feel very dependent upon others, have no real sense of your morality, and feel very stagnant in your life. Your relationships up to this point may not have been

Well, there are ways that might help you grab a hold of those passionate feelings and Ignite Your Stale Relationship.The truth is, life's fast pace and our obligations can take its toll on couples and sometimes we just grow a little too old with one another

Have you heard? The divorce rate is going down. I heard this on the news and discovered that this was due to the economy. Couples are remaining together because they can not afford a divorce. What a sad statement for relationships. Our country is climbing closer to having one out of every two marriages end in divorce. Millions of Americans are filing for divorce. As the divorce rate resumes it's

Boundaries can be defined as borders or limits that can be imposed in physical, sexual, or emotional forms. If a person has been hurt traumatically or repeatedly over time, he would have experienced a violation of these boundaries. This can contribute to his inability to trust another person. A person with a mental or developmental disability would also experience problems understanding the

Why do you think that you fear during times when you are feel that some elements of life are beyond your control? Why does greed, selfishness, and instant gratification grip many of us during times of crisis and uncertainty? We may be moving away from what has grounded generations of people in the history of human existence; the belief that there is life after death. The emptiness of

Predictable is a good quality in a relationship. This may seem contrary to what you have been told by love experts. When do seeds of suspicion in a relationship emerge? When one begins to think, What's up with my partner? Why is he doing that? He's never done that before. That is so unlike him. He or she loses 30 pounds, buys a new wardrobe and comes home late from work. He changes his patterns.
