10 PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PARENTING

What you do matters. Whether it's your own health behaviors or the way you treat other people, your children are learning from what you do. "This is one of the most important principles," Steinberg explains. "What you do makes a difference…Don't just react on thespur of the moment. Ask yourself, What do I want to accomplish, and is this likely toproduce that result?"

You cannot be too loving. "It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love," Steinbergwrites. "What we often think of as the product of spoiling a child is never the result of showing a child too much love. It is usually the consequence of giving a child things inplace of love -- things like leniency, lowered expectations, or material possessions."

Be involved in your child's life. "Being an involved parent takes time and is hard work, and it often means rethinking and rearranging your priorities. It frequently means sacrificing what you want to do for what your child needs to do. Be there mentally as well as physically." Being involved does not mean doing a child's homework -- or correcting it. "Homework is a tool for teachers to know whether the child is learning or not," Steinberg says. "If you do the homework, you're not letting the teacher know what the child is learning."

Adapt your parenting to fit your child. Keep pace with your child's development. Your child is growing up. Consider how age is affecting the child's behavior. "The same drive for independence that is making your 3-year-old say 'no' all the time is what's motivating him to be toilet trained," writes Steinberg. "The same intellectual growth spurt that is making your 13-year-old curious and inquisitive in the classroom also is making her argumentative at the dinner table."

Establish and set rules. "If you don't manage your child's behavior when he is young, he will have a hard time learning how to manage himself when he is older and you aren't around. Any time of the day or night, you should always be able to answer these three questions: Where is my child? Who is with my child? What is my child doing? The rules your child has learned from you are going to shape the rules he applies to himself. "But you can't micromanage your child," Steinberg notes. "Once they're in middle school, you need to let the child do their own homework, make their own choices and not intervene."

Foster your child's independence. "Setting limits helps your child develop a sense of self-control. Encouraging independence helps her develop a sense of self-direction. To be successful in life, she's going to need both." It's normal for children to push for autonomy, says Steinberg. "Many parents mistakenly equate their child's independence with rebelliousness or disobedience. Children push for independence because it is part of human nature to want to feel in control rather than to feel controlled by someone else."

Be consistent. "If your rules vary from day to day in an unpredictable fashion or if you enforce them only intermittently, your child's misbehavior is your fault, not his. Your most important disciplinary tool is consistency. Identify your non-negotiables. The more your authority is based on wisdom and not on power, the less your child will challenge it."

Avoid harsh discipline. Parents should never hit a child, under any circumstances, Steinberg says. "Children who are spanked, hit, or slapped are more prone to fighting with other children," he writes. "They are more likely to be bullies and more likely to use aggression to solve disputes with others."

Explain your rules and decisions. "Good parents have expectations they want their child to live up to," he writes. "Generally, parents over explain to young children and under explain to adolescents. What is obvious to you may not be evident to a 12-year-old. He doesn't have the priorities, judgment, or experience that you have."

Treat your child with respect. "The best way to get respectful treatment from your child is to treat him respectfully," Steinberg writes. "You should give your child the same courtesies you would give to anyone else. Speak to him politely. Respect his opinion. Pay attention when he is speaking to you. Treat him kindly. Try to please him when you can. Children treat others the way their parents treat them. Your relationship with your child is the foundation for her relationships with others." For example, if your child is a picky eater: "I personally don't think parents should make a big deal about eating," Steinberg says. "Children develop food preferences. They often go through them in stages. You don't want to turn mealtimes into unpleasant occasions. Just don't make the mistake of substituting unhealthy foods. If you don't keep junk food in the house, they won't eat it. The truth is, change is hard, and it’s going to take time. The sooner you begin to hold your child accountable for their behavior by helping them learn - and practice - better problem-solving skills, the better off your family will be. This will give your family a fantastic foundation for all the years to come.

Hell no we are not letting this OFMD finale distract from that THIS LETTER.

Had a signature from Taika Waititi. I understand the sensitivity here this issue with Taika being Jewish(and that’s not my place as someone that’s Not Jewish or in those regions to condemn him on that perspective’s behalf) but this letter is directly bastardizing the situation.

Now, when there is a major production from a major figure in this platform that did this, is when we can make the most impact. Remember our values, even when those values involve a show that is strengthening the LGBTQ community.

Because this letter tore down the strength of the movement in support of Gaza. There are going to be so many people that saw this letter and take it completely uncritically, unchallenged.

Standing up for our values means sacrificing our interests, holding accountable the things we enjoy.

And also. I don’t want to see ANYONE. Being fucking antisemitic or racist towards Taika here. That is never appropriate and absolutely inexcusable behavior. You should he ashamed if you think that’s okay even after Taika’s actions.

[Text of Letter]

October 23, 2023

Dear President Biden, We are heartened by Friday's release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today's release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and

Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity. But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people,

including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death.

They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400

Israelis were slaughtered - women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded. Thank you for your unshakable moral conviction, leadership, and support for the Jewish people, who have been terrorized by Hamas since the group's founding over 35 years ago, and for the Palestinians, who have also been terrorized, oppressed, and victimized

by Hamas for the last 17 years that the group has been governing Gaza. We all want the same thing: Freedom for Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace. Freedom from the brutal violence spread by Hamas. And most urgently, in this

moment, freedom for the hostages. We urge everyone to not rest until all hostages are released. No hostage can be left behind. Whether American, Argentinian, Australian, Azerbaijani, Brazilian, British, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Eritrean, Filipino, French, German, Indian, Israeli, Italian, Kazakh, Mexican, Panamanian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, South African, Spanish, Sri Lankan, Thai, Ukrainian,

Uzbekistani or otherwise, we need to bring them home.

Sincerely,

[Text of the names presented. This isn’t all of them, just the copy of this with Taika’s name on it)

Puberty Blockers? Gay Teens Aren't Sick! (May 2022)

Why is the NHS sterilising hundreds of teenagers?

As soaring numbers of children are referred to gender identity clinics, prescriptions for 'puberty blockers' are increasing.

"We really don't know what suppressing puberty does to your brain development. We are dealing with unknowns." -- Prof. Russell Vinder CBE

Puberty begins when the brain sends a hormone called GnRH to a tiny gland the size of a pea, the pituitary gland. This triggers a cascade of hormones that transforms a child's body.

'Puberty blockers' are synthetic GnRH and stop these vital processes that are crucial to us developing into adults. The radical process of changes in our bodies during puberty is matched by even more extraordinary changes in the brain.

"The brain changes characteristic of adolescence are amongst the most dramatic and important to occur during the human life span." -- Prof. Laurence Steinberg

As the brain develops, adolescents learn how to think for themselves, bond socially, and regulate their emotions.

By prescribing 'puberty blockers' the NHS is stopping the natural transformation of teenagers' bodies and brains.

'Puberty blockers' also have physical and emotional risks in their own right.

Patients can suffer with abnormally low bone density, which is associated with a high risk of osteoporosis.

"The blocker is said to be completely reversible, which is disingenuous because nothing is completely reversible." -- Dr. Polly Carmichael

"It is not known what the psychological effects may be." -- NHS Guidance, 2020

Up to 2020, GIDS has treated over 1000 children with 'puberty blockers.' 230 were under the age of 14. The youngest was 10.

The tragedy is that the latest evidence suggests 'puberty blockers' may not reduce gender dysphoria.

A Tavistock report defending 'puberty blockers' showed their use:

"does not impact positively on the experience of gender dysphoria."

A child that takes puberty blockers at Tanner Stage 2 and follows this with cross-sex hormones at 16 is effectively sterilised as their gametes will miss the window to mature.

Finland, France and Sweden have recently restricted the use of 'puberty blockers' as concerns over safety and lack of evidence continue to grow.

Why do we care so much?

The vast majority of teens effectively being sterilised are lesbian, gay or bisexual.

Please don't medicalise LGB teens.

==

The UK recently joined with Finland, Sweden and France in heavily restricting puberty blockers.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tavistock-gender-clinic-puberty-blockers-nhs-investigation-fh7pngj0v

When Gids asked adolescents referred to the service in 2012 about their sexuality, more than 90 per cent of females and 80 per cent of males said they were same-sex attracted or bisexual. Bristow came to believe that Gids was performing “conversion therapy for gay kids” and there was a bleak joke on the team that there would be “no gay people left at the rate Gids was going”.

The on-label use of these drugs includes treatment of end-stage prostate cancer, and are the same drugs used to chemically castrate Alan Turing - among thousands of other gay men - to "cure" his homosexuality. Which makes it rather perverse when LGBT "allies" are scolding right-wing bigots about how they owe their computer and phone to a gay man on the one hand, while advocating for the treatment that lead to him taking his own life as "life-saving care" on the other hand.

Puberty is not a medical disorder. Gay and bi kids don't need to be sterilised and given cosmetic surgery to "fix" them.

I thought this illustration was interesting but simple. It captures a woman in the bath writing under the water, which takes a humorous turn in the illustration. But also because many illustrations and the form of drawing first then digitally drawing them (present day illustration)

Photography - Book: Photography Fifth Edition : A Cultural History

Warien, M, W. (2021). Photography Fifth Edition : A Cultural History. Laurence King Publishing.

I thought this book would be relevant as it it discusses the invention of photography, photography as a form of art, imaging of the social world, photography and its modernity, through the lens of culture etc.

Typography Book - Thinking with Type, Ellen Lupton

Lupton, E. (2009). Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, and Students. Princeton Architectural Press.

This book provides you a clear and focused understanding and guidance on how letters, words and paragraphs should be aligned, spaced, ordered and shaped. There are free pdfs online, this will allow me to help gain further insight on typography.

This collage, the twin posts serve as duality that contrasts with eachother than complimentary, such as life and death, positive and negative, good and evil etc. The artists invites us to "become a player" of these fundamentals.

This book explores the ever complex ways in how our heritage or cultural background plays a huge role in how we represent ourselves.

It quotes, "Heritage is more than a simple legacy from the past, and incorporates all elements, past and present, that have the ability to represent particular identities in the public sphere."

Personal Identity - The Concept of Personal Identity, article

Rieber, S. (1988). The Concept of Personal Identity. Vol. 58, No. 3. pp. 581-594. https://doi.org/10.2307/2653757

I quite liked this article as it gave a detailed and succinct insight into what exactly personal identity is and how we define it.

Memory/Nostalgia - The Persistence of Memory, Salvador Dali, 1931

Dali, S. (1931). The Persistence of Memory. The Museum of Modern Art: Painting and Sculpture.

This was an interesting art piece to look at. There are symbols or time, motifs and themes within the painting that emphasizes memories are strong and although time fades, its hard to forget.

Expression/Emotion - Gender and Emotion Expression: A Developmental Contextual Perspective, article

Chaplin, M, T. (2015). Gender and Emotion Expression: A Developmental Contextual Perspective. 10.1177/1754073914544408

As I was doing a bit of research around emotion, I found that there was a distinct difference in how males and females show or not show their emotions.

Childhood - Childhood growth and socioeconomic outcomes in early adulthood evidence from the inter-war United States, Article

This webpage allows brief information on the artist and allows you to click through her work. I quite like how as an artist she explores the cultural and political factors in her work, in contrast to her soft and organic illustration.

#JamesDonaldson On #MentalHealth - Why #American #Teens Are So Sad

Four forces are propelling the rising rates of #depression among young people By Derek Thompson The #UnitedStates is experiencing an extreme #teenage #mentalhealthcrisis. From 2009 to 2021, the share of #American #highschoolstudents who say they feel “persistent feelings of sadness or #hopelessness” rose from 26 percent to 44 percent, according to a new #CDC study. This is the highest level of #teenage sadness ever recorded. The government survey of almost 8,000 #highschoolstudents, which was conducted in the first six months of 2021, found a great deal of variation in #mentalhealth among different groups. More than one in four #girls reported that they had seriously contemplated attempting #suicide during the #pandemic, which was twice the rate of #boys. Nearly half of #LGBTQ #teens said they had contemplated #suicide during the #pandemic, compared with 14 percent of their #heterosexual peers. Sadness among white #teens seems to be rising faster than among other groups. Credit: Derek Thompson, The Atlantic; data from the CDC. But the big picture is the same across all categories: Almost every measure of #mentalhealth is getting worse, for every #teenage demographic, and it’s happening all across the country. Since 2009, sadness and #hopelessness have increased for every race; for straight #teens and #gay #teens; for #teens who say they’ve never had sex and for those who say they’ve had sex with #males and/or #females; for #students in each year of #highschool; and for #teens in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. So why is this happening? I want to propose several answers to that question, along with one meta-explanation that ties them together. But before I start with that, I want to squash a few tempting fallacies. The first fallacy is that we can chalk this all up to #teens behaving badly. In fact, lots of self-reported #teen #behaviors are moving in a positive direction. Since the 1990s, drinking-and-driving is down almost 50 percent. #School fights are down 50 percent. Sex before 13 is down more than 70 percent. #School #bullying is down. And #LGBTQ acceptance is up. The second fallacy is that #teens have always been moody, and sadness looks like it is rising only because people are more willing to talk about it. Objective measures of #anxiety and #depression—such as #eatingdisorders, #selfharming #behavior, and #teen #suicides—are sharply up over the past decade. “Across the country we have witnessed dramatic increases in Emergency Department visits for all #mentalhealth emergencies including suspected #suicideattempts,” the American Academy of Pediatrics said in October. Today’s #teenagers are more comfortable talking about #mentalhealth, but rising #youth sadness is no illusion. The third fallacy is that today’s #mentalhealthcrisis was principally caused by the #pandemic and an overreaction to #COVID. “Rising #teenage sadness isn’t a new trend, but rather the acceleration and broadening of a trend that clearly started before the #pandemic,” Laurence Steinberg, a #psychologist at Temple University, told me. But he added: “We shouldn’t ignore the #pandemic, either. The fact that #COVID seems to have made #teen #mentalhealth worse offers clues about what’s really driving the rise in sadness.” #James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticleOrder your copy of James Donaldson's latest book,#CelebratingYourGiftofLife:From The Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy http://www.celebratingyourgiftoflife.com Here are four forces propelling that increase. 1. #Socialmedia use Five years ago, the #psychologist Jean Twenge wrote an influential and controversial feature in The Atlantic titled “Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?” based on her book iGen. Around 2012, Twenge wrote, she had noticed that teen sadness and #anxiety began to steadily rise in the U.S. and other rich developed countries. She looked for explanations and realized that 2012 was precisely when the share of #Americans who owned a smartphone surpassed 50 percent and mobile #socialmedia use spiked. In the past few years, scientists have disputed the idea that #socialmedia use itself makes #teenagers miserable. “There’s been absolutely hundreds of studies, almost all showing pretty small effects,” Jeff Hancock, a #behavioral #psychologist at Stanford University who has conducted a meta-analysis of 226 such studies, told The New York Times recently. But I think Twenge’s strongest point is misunderstood. #Socialmedia isn’t like rat poison, which is toxic to almost everyone. It’s more like #alcohol: a mildly addictive substance that can enhance social situations but can also lead to dependency and #depression among a minority of users. This is very close to the conclusion reached by none other than #Instagram. The company’s internal research from 2020 found that, while most users had a positive relationship with the app, one-third of #teen #girls said “#Instagram made them feel worse,” even though these #girls “feel unable to stop themselves” from logging on. And if you don’t believe a company owned by #Facebook, believe a big new study from Cambridge University, in which researchers looked at 84,000 people of all ages and found that #socialmedia was strongly associated with worse #mentalhealth during certain sensitive life periods, including for #girls ages 11 to 13. Why would social media affect teenage mental health in this way? One explanation is that teenagers (and #teenage #girls in particular) are uniquely sensitive to the judgment of friends, #teachers, and the digital crowd. As I’ve written, #socialmedia seems to hijack this keen peer sensitivity and drive obsessive thinking about body image and popularity. The problem isn’t just that #socialmedia fuels #anxiety but also that—as we’ll see—it makes it harder for today’s young people to cope with the pressures of growing up. 2. Sociality is down Both Steinberg and Twenge #stress that the biggest problem with #socialmedia might be not #socialmedia itself, but rather the activities that it replaces. “I tell #parents all the time that if #Instagram is merely displacing TV, I’m not concerned about it,” Steinberg told me. But today’s #teens spend more than five hours daily on #socialmedia, and that habit seems to be displacing quite a lot of beneficial activity. The share of #highschoolstudents who got eight or more hours of sleep declined 30 percent from 2007 to 2019. Compared with their counterparts in the 2000s, today’s #teens are less likely to go out with their friends, get their driver’s license, or play #youth #sports. The #pandemic and the closure of #schools likely exacerbated #teen #loneliness and sadness. A 2020 survey from Harvard’s Graduate #School of Education found that #loneliness spiked in the first year of the #pandemic for everyone, but it rose most significantly for young people. “It’s well established that what protects #teens from #stress is close social relationships,” Steinberg said. “When #kids can’t go to #school to see their friends and peers and mentors, that #socialisolation could lead to sadness and #depression, particularly for those predisposed to feeling sad or depressed.” This is important to say clearly: Aloneness isn’t the same as #loneliness, and #loneliness isn’t the same as #depression. But more aloneness (including from heavy smartphone use) and more #loneliness (including from #school closures) might have combined to push up sadness among #teenagers who need sociality to protect them from the pressures of a stressful world. 3. The world is stressful—and there is more news about the world’s stressors Lisa Damour, a clinical #psychologist and author, told me that no single factor can account for the rise of #teenage sadness. But she believes a part of the answer is that the world has become more stressful. Or, at least, teenagers’ perception of the world seems to be causing them more #stress. “In the last decade #teenagers have become increasingly stressed by concerns about #gunviolence, climate change, and the political environment,” she wrote in an email. “Increased #stress among young people is linked to increasing levels of sadness. #Girls, more than #boys, are socialized to internalize distress, meaning that they tend to collapse in on themselves by becoming depressed or anxious.” Fears about finances, climate change, and viral #pandemics are smashing into local concerns about social approval and setting oneself up for success. “I think of it as a pile-on effect,” Steinberg said. “We’re coming out of the #pandemic, and then suddenly Russia goes to war. Every day, it feels like there’s something else. It creates a very gloomy narrative about the world.” This sense of doom doesn’t just come from #teenagers. It comes from us, the news media, and from the #socialmedia channels through which our work is distributed. News sources have never been more abundant, or more accessible. But journalism also has a famous bad-news bias, which flows from an unfortunate but accurate understanding that negativity generally gets more attention. When we plug our brain into a news feed, we are usually choosing to deluge ourselves with negative representations of reality. A well-known 2019 experiment randomly forced people to stop using #Facebook for four weeks before a midterm election. The study found that those who logged off spent more time hanging out with family and friends, consistent with the idea that #socialmedia use displaces pro-social #behaviors. It also found that deactivating #Facebook “reduced factual news knowledge” while “increasing subjective well-being.” We cannot rule out the possibility that teens are sad about the world, not only because the world contains sadness, but also because young people have 24/7 access to sites that are constantly telling them they should be depressed about it. 4. Modern parenting strategies In the past 40 years, #American #parents—especially those with a college degree—have nearly doubled the amount of time they spend coaching, chauffeuring, tutoring, and otherwise helping their #teenage #children. The economist Valerie Ramey has labeled this the “rug rat race.” High-income #parents in particular are spending much more time preparing their #kids for a competitive college admissions process. When I interviewed Ramey about her work in 2019, she told me that she “couldn’t believe the amount of pressure our friends were putting on their #kids to get ready for college.” The “rug rat race” is an upper-class phenomenon that can’t explain a generalized increase in #teenage sadness. But it could well explain part of what’s going on. And in the 2020 Atlantic feature “What Happened to American #Childhood?,” Kate Julian described a related phenomenon that affects families a bit more broadly: Anxious #parents, in seeking to insulate their #children from risk and danger, are unintentionally transferring their #anxiety to their #kids. I want to pull out two points from Julian’s complex essay. First, #children are growing up slower than they used to. Today’s #children are less likely to drive, get a summer job, or be asked to do chores. The problem isn’t that #kids are lazy (homework time has risen), or that scrubbing dishes magically dispels #anxietydisorders. Rather, Julian wrote, these activities “provide #children with two very important things”: tolerating discomfort and having a sense of personal competence. Second, researchers have noted a broad increase in an “accommodative” parenting style. If a #girl is afraid of dogs, an “accommodation” would be keeping her away from every friend’s house with a dog, or if a #boy won’t eat vegetables, feeding him nothing but turkey loaf for four years (an actual story from the article). These #behaviors come from love. But part of growing up is learning how to release negative emotions in the face of inevitable #stress. If #kids never figure out how to do that, they’re more likely to experience severe #anxiety as #teenagers. Julian highlighted a new treatment out of Yale University’s #Child Study Center called SPACE, or Supportive Parenting for Anxious #Childhood Emotions. Put simply, SPACE forces #parents to be less accommodating. If the #girl is afraid of dogs, encourage her to play with young puppies. If the #boy hates vegetables, caramelize the hell out of some broccoli. This sort of advice is infinitely easier to type than to put into practice. But folding a bit of exposure therapy into modern parenting and #childhood might help #teenagers grapple with a complex and stressful world. Other explanations don’t fit neatly into the above categories. Maybe drugs are a big factor: One study found that a sixth of the increase in #teen suicides was associated with parental opioid addiction. Maybe the authors Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt are right that college campuses and internet culture have come to celebrate fragility. Maybe political polarization is fueling #anxiety, not only by creating mutual hatred but also by encouraging people to reject opposing views, which over time reduces their capacity to handle cognitive dissonance in a confusing world. The truth is I’m not satisfied by any of the above explanations, on their own. But I see no reason to keep them alone. They interact, amplify, and compound. And together they paint a powerful picture. The world is overwhelming, and an inescapably negative news cycle creates an atmosphere of existential gloom, not just for #teens but also for their moms and dads. The more overwhelming the world feels to #parents, the more they may try to bubble-wrap their #kids with accommodations. Over time, this protective parenting style deprives #children of the emotional resilience they need to handle the world’s stresses. #Childhood becomes more insular: Time spent with friends, driving, dating, and working summer jobs all decline. College pressures skyrocket. Outwardly, #teens are growing up slower; but online, they’re growing up faster. The internet exposes #teenagers not only to supportive friendships but also to #bullying, threats, despairing conversations about #mentalhealth, and a slurry of unsolvable global problems—a carnival of negativity. #Socialmedia places in every teen’s pocket a quantified battle royal for scarce popularity that can displace hours of sleep and makes many #teens, especially #girls, feel worse about their body and life. Amplify these existing trends with a global #pandemic and an unprecedented period of #socialisolation, and suddenly, the remarkable rise of #teenage sadness doesn’t feel all that mysterious, does it?
