There are certain behaviors you want to avoid as a parent, in order to raise your child in a happy and emotionally healthy home. Here are some forms of mistreatment, whether intentional or not, that must be dealt with, if present in your family, to avoid abusive behavior. Abuse hurts, and the pain lingers. The child tries to justify and fix things, and many times will blame his or herself for what happened, when it wasn’t their fault at all. I am a survivor of family issues but there is always a “hole” left in my heart, from having to make up for important behaviors (consistency, peace, acceptance) missing from those I love the most. Learn from what I went through.

Resentment

It’s hard being a parent, but for some, it’s just plain inconvenient. They didn’t really want the child, and try to hide it, but trust me - the child will know. It comes through in different ways, but the resentment does show itself if not dealt with professionally. If you harbor feelings of resentment towards your child over an unwanted pregnancy, please seek therapy because without it, you may show that frustration or anger towards your child unknowingly. It’s like a knife in the heart. Kids don’t need that sort of pain, which lingers into adulthood. So, nip those feelings in the bud by working through it with a kind and caring family therapist. It won’t hurt to check it out, and there are community programs for those with limited incomes. Some charge nothing or a minimal amount on a sliding scale fee.

Self Absorption

We all have many things to do in our daily lives. Hard-working adults struggle to balance work and home, and that is fully understandable. What I’m talking about here goes beyond lack of time. It is about the time you do have when not working. Do you do things together as a family or do you lead basically separate lives? Don’t let your kid feel left out, show them that they are more important than your television, projects or friends. It’s all about priorities. Self-absorbed people put themselves first at all times. They don’t really care about others’ feelings, because in their minds, theirs come first. It isn’t good for the self-esteem of a child to know that their parent or caretaker doesn’t care what they are asking, and isn’t interested in their resulting feelings. You grow up feeling like you don’t matter. Be sensitive to your child’s needs. Don’t put superficial things over the needs of your child. To many, this is a no-brainer, but for someone immersed in his or her own world, this is something that needs to be worked on.

Perfectionism and Criticism

This is a slippery slope, because we all want our kids to do well, but pushing too hard isn’t good, either. Don’t be overly harsh with your child on performance. Don’t name-call or make a habit of being overly critical with your child because kids want to please their parents and too much criticism can really hurt. If criticized and picked on too much, the child may just simply give up, feeling powerless over the situation. If the authority figure is never pleased, then why bother trying over and over, when the result is just more criticism? Consistency is important, too. Don’t be lenient on one thing, then overly critical on another. Try to be even-tempered, so your child can learn to know what to expect. If the behavior is uneven (one minute you praise, the next, you condemn), your child will learn not to know what to expect. This is incredibly damaging to the growing soul of a kid. It shows itself as lack of trust in people later.

Competitiveness

This sounds crazy, but some people are very competitive with their children. Creating an adversarial relationship with a child is not only detrimental to the well-being of the child but puts unneccessary stress on him or her. Nobody wants to compete with his or her parents. Without going into detail, this happened to me. It was painful and hard to understand. The family member in question always felt the need to “one up” me. I was a little achiever, winning art awards, and praise through the arts my whole childhood. This was a source of pride yet envy to one family member, who did nasty things to antagonize and put me down in different ways, such as spilling coffee on my drawing then blaming me for it. When I was older and money was tight, this person decided they were going to take high priced art courses at a college I wanted to take classes at, but couldn’t afford to at the time. So, they rubbed it in my face. I later took those courses myself, but never mentioned it to that member. I don’t choose to participate in competition, it’s not comfortable to me and I prefer to keep my achievements silent to avoid these issues. Competition with a child drives a wedge between the two of you. Don’t do it, find a healthy outlet elsewhere. If you are a “Type A” personality who likes competition, find something else competitive with others, but not your child.

Badmouthing Your Child to Others

This goes without saying, just don’t do it. Ok, if it is something justified like drug abuse or other behaviors that need to be corrected, that’s one thing. I’m talking about discussing private family disagreements to sway friends or others to dislike your child. If you do this, then seriously consider getting some help to correct this behavior. Trying to get others to take “sides” in personal family problems makes those outsiders uncomfortable and is embarrassing to those in your family. Plus, again, it drives a wedge between you and your family. Keep private family matters private, for everyone’s sake.

Blaming and Scapegoating

Don’t get caught up in the blame game. Would you rather be right or have a happy family? Who cares whose fault this or that is? Usually, the battle can rage on, and just causes animosity among its participants. Does it really matter whose fault it is? Combatants usually try to get others to rally on their side, and the whole mess escalates. Let it go. Unless it’s an issue of major importance (breaking of laws, etc), then don’t sweat the small stuff. Some people become addicted to blaming, and make scapegoats out of their children. It is painful and frustrating for a kid to grow up this way. It teaches shame, and sadness to the child, who begins to doubt themselves. This is the seed of insecurity and self-doubt. Don’t teach your child to second-guess his or herself by blaming for little things and picking on them about it. Just let it go. A child can become the family scapegoat if family members gang up and blame him for things not his fault. It is a very helpless feeling to be picked on in such an unfair and cruel way. Those doing the scapegoating are trying to push their insecurity onto the weaker person, the target. If this happens, stop and get help. Otherwise, the child can become badly scarred as an adult and be hypersensitive to blame.

Anger Management Troubles

There are degrees of anger, from mild annoyance to full-blown rage. Handle problems as calmly and as rationally as possible without blowing up. Kids watch and learn from what they see. Do they see a mature adult handling problems coolly, in control of his or her emotions? Whatever they see, they will learn. Threats and implied violence are other ways meant to control, and those are hurtful, as well. It is important to control anger, and show children that family is a safe place to be in. Home should not be a scary place. Throwing things, breaking objects and other aggressive tactics must be stopped. Vent anger elsewhere, but not at a child, who will see and remember everything done to him for the rest of his life. That is a legacy best not passed on to future generations.

These points are meant to show some of the main problems with child abuse. Parenting is hard, and everyone wants to do their best, so learn from others’ mistakes when you feel something isn’t going the way you need it to. Read books, talk to therapists or surf the net for more information. However you choose to learn up on different parenting techniques, I commend you. People who are truly sick are the ones who don’t acknowledge a problem and will blame others instead of taking responsibility for their own actions. Most people mean well, and skills can be acquired. Good luck and remember to show love and stability to your child on a consistent basis. This is the greatest gift you can give.

You think I’m joking - but the reality is, we often spend much of our time online surfing the internet instead of working. So, take a day off, you deserve it. Come back to work refreshed and ready to accomplish great goals.

1) Set dedicated work time.

Remove obstacles from your work zone so you can concentrate on work. Set your water bottle aside, turn off the radio, and set a timer for 1 hour. Do nothing but work during that hour.

2) Get an Answering Machine or Voice Mail.

Telephone interruptions account for many hours in a day of non-productive time. Don’t believe me? Get voice mail and don’t answer your phone all morning. Set aside one hour late in the afternoon to return all phone calls, and however much time you need to make your phone calls during a specific time of day. Leave the phone on the hook during your work time, and see how much more you accomplish.

3) Take a walk.

Before you get down to work, take a short walk around the yard, around the block, around the office where you can greet people and be part of the larger universe. This increases your adrenalin and raises your productive capabilities to maximize the time you spend working.

4) Set out a sweet spicy aroma.

Rub a rock with clove or cinnamon oil and place it in a sunny window. The spicy aroma will increase your awareness of current surroundings and raise your consciousness so you can experience the work you’re doing.

5) Connect with loved ones.

Make those connections with your family and friends regularly, over dinner, coffee breaks, lunch in an upscale location, or a day out at the park. These connections keep you motivated and moving toward positive goals. Take time for relationships in your life.

6) Create a work space with YOU in mind.

If you work best in an open room with the breeze blowing through, create a breezy light atmosphere in which to work. If you prefer a dungeon, or cave atmosphere, create those surroundings and feel safe and cozy in your work space. The more comfortable you are in your space, the more you will accomplish.

7) Get to work already!

Now that you have the mind set of a working person, you’re ready to apply those wonderful new attitudes and ideas to your work. So get with it, accomplish your goals today and get the wealth you deserve.

“Four years after the US-led invasion, the ICRC says the conflict is inflicting immense suffering, and calls for greater protection of civilians… Women found it “simply unbearable” to confront their children with the (dead bodies) morning after morning as they tried to take them to school… The Red Cross says every aspect of life in Iraq is getting worse - a trip to the market has become a matter of life and death.”

“Iraqis Face ‘Immense’ Suffering,” BBC World News Online - April 11, 2007

_____________________

There can be no victory when the price of it is the suffering and death of countless thousands of human beings who are the ‘collateral damage’ of that victory.

There can be no security, when the hearts of many more explode with grief, rage, despair, and helplessness, accompanied by a desire to do whatever is necessary to rid the country of the ‘oppressor’.

All that is holy cries out at the disregard for individual human life by all sides engaged in this conflict so that precious life becomes merely an expenditure that is the price of war, if it is added up at all. The heart cries out for more responsibility to be taken - for the place of purity and sanctity within the human heart to prevail against the forces of darkness that inflame and justify so many deaths, so much carnage, so much loss.

If it were possible to hear its voice, we would hear the earth herself crying out in protest, crying out at the death of innocents, at the flimsy justification of the destruction of one group by another, of the action of Cain against Abel. We would hear the earth cry out and the heavens as well, for these are not actions taken as a result of Divine ordination. These are actions taken from the place of darkness that resides within the human breast that can look away from the bodies lying in the streets, from the refugees fleeing their homes, from the children who suddenly and often in the presence of spilt blood, become orphans. Except in the very largest sense in which everything, including darkness, exists within God, these are actions and a path of destruction that are being initiated from the darkness as it gains hold of human consciousness, and that can only be eliminated and brought to an end by the advent of greater light.

Let us pray for that light to arrive quickly so that not another soul dies at the hands of an unseen explosive device in the road or at the hands of what looked like another shopper who blew herself up in a crowded market. Let us pray for the light to arrive so that the fuel that gives rise to hatred and paranoia, to the need to destroy in order to ‘protect’, dries up - this fuel that the forces of darkness are so good at replenishing.

Let us pray that what we witness today shall have no place in tomorrow, and that the heart-wrenching drama of human catastrophe will finally come to an end, everywhere.

And in all of our prayers, let us bear in mind that what we do, think, say, has an effect upon what happens at a distance. We make a difference to this sorrow by holding it as our own. We make a difference to this balance of light and darkness by holding light and love within our hearts and acting from this foundation. When we refuse to turn away from either the sorrow or the light, but remain steadfast in our trust and our hope, we help to bring forward the light that will redeem the darkness and bring peace to the earth.

You’ve spent years in perfecting your diorama or railroad layout but the pictures you take do not do it justice. To your mind’s eye the figures look real, the buildings are correctly scaled and the detail realistic. But the pictures you take make the building look like toys, the shrubbery like plastic and the mood unrealistic. Most difficult are layouts in N (160-1) or Z (220 - 1) scale or dioramas smaller than 87 - 1 scale.

There are three types of pictures you can take: showing the whole diorama, showing a perspective of the diorama without the intrusion of peripherals (room walls, etc.), and cropped close ups of the detail. The most realistic is the perspective shot which shows nothing but the diorama. In order to depict this properly, you must cut off some portion of the scene.

Assuming the diorama is on a table, position your camera on a sturdy tripod a few inches above the nearest corner so as not to include the sides of the diorama. Set the lens manually at the smallest F stop (which could be F11, F16 or F32). Set the camera at aperture priority (A) so that the exposure will be automatic. A point and shoot camera can be used but turn off the flash. Make sure the top of the picture in the finder includes only the background and none of the room walls. If a background is not a part of your diorama, buy a poster board in a sky blue and tack it behind the diorama as close as possible.

The flash on the camera is not a good source of light for this type of picture. The source is too wide and tall, the fall off is a dead give away and makes the diorama look false. What is needed is a point source of light. You may use the light from a slide projector (without a slide) or a 150 watt clear incandescent bulb. Place the source as far as possible from the diorama, ideally eight times the width of the diorama and about thirty degrees above the level surface and to the side. The photograph must be made in a shuttered dark room or at night so that the only source of light is the bulb. There will be enough scattered light in the room to light up the shadows sufficiently. If the bulb source is close to the wall or ceiling, cover the areas near the bulb with black cardboard so that there will be no reflected light from around the bulb.

The purpose of this configuration is to provide normal looking, sharp shadows in your diorama picture that will simulate sunshine. Set the camera color balance for incandescent light and later adjust the image file for a sunlight look. Additional light blue poster boards can be placed above near the ceiling and behind the diorama to reflect some blue tinted light into the shadows. Set the ISO at the smallest number (50 or 80 ISO) for the most detail. Auto focus may be used but manual focusing on an item one third the distance from the near edge of the diorama will ensure good focus throughout. Experiment with slightly different angles and foreground interest. The lower you can get to the diorama, the more realistic the picture. Overhead shots tend to look like shots taken from an airplane or helicopter while low angle shots simulate a raised but ground level perspective. A wide angle lens is preferred for the further object to appear far away (scale wise) while a normal lens focal length will compress the distance somewhat. Once your technique is down pat, future photographs of train layouts and diorama will be a cinch.

Did you know that building a womens home based business that moms across the country are making six cardinal sins of home business building? Many of them think they don’t have to know anything
about business or they think they are going to make substantial revenue without spending anything for the good life. That is what they were being told.

Those people are living in a dream world (fantasy land); I personally would ask them, “What makes you an expert, show me your credentials?” If you make them answer you, they will leave you rickety-split, just like you have the plague. Believe me when I say that business is not a game to play with. The rewards are grand but at the same time many have lost their shirts/blouses in the process.

We have watched people walk willingly right into the jaws of building a womens home based business with no idea that they have a tiger by the tail, until they have spent all their time and revenue building a business that was destined to fail from it’s inception.

Most of them were told that Network Marketing is the way to make them wealthy; that they could build a womens home based business with little or no start-up costs. For the most part that is true. Day after day people are generating millions in revenue.

We said, ‘for the most part.’ The other part you must pay the price for your negligence of not knowing how home businesses work and how to perform the necessary skills of building a womens home based
business; that is the all important thing that is usually left out when “they” are telling you how to be financially fit using network marketing.

Many of them are looking for something for nothing. Then there are others that truly believed what they were told but failed to follow-up or follow-through. This is the main reason why we have a 95% home business failure rate, a lesson in futility.

If it were that easy (as they say) everyone would be wealthy; reality says 3% of the population in the world is wealthy and 97% is not. Knowledge is not the only thing needed, but it is indispensable to being in control of your life and in your home business. This may be news to you, but YOU and your BUSINESS are one and the same.

In order for you to be wealthy, you MUST be a leader. If you are not a leader you need to be a leader in training. I say that because, network marketing is a people business and the product is a duplicable system. This is another reason why most online businesses fail, people are trying to sell comp plans, companies or their products/services with all the hype that comes along with them.

What I’m saying makes sense to the 3% crowd and makes no sense at all to the 97% crowd. Another fact is that the 3% crowd employs the 97% crowd. It is a lesson in human nature at it’s best. The cream
always settles to the top and the fittest always survive.

What was I saying??

Sometimes I got sidetracked, oh yea— I was to give you the 6 key keys of building a womens home based business & what moms neglect in building a home business. I was told that (years ago) ‘if you
fail to plan, you plan to fail.’ There are no truer words spoken in business building.

To add to that, when you plan building your womens home based business, your heart needs to be in it. You must be passionate and love your work. If you don’t follow the plan and don’t love what you are doing, then you will be building a JOB not a business.

As I mentioned earlier, knowledge is actually the cornerstone of building a womens home based business, knowledge reduces the learning curve and increases your self-confidence & skill level.
There is no better way to secure your needed knowledge than getting a coach that you can trust.

Getting a good coach is dollar-for-dollar the best single investment in building your womans home based business, bar none. They know the ropes and you don’t. This way you are not blazing a new trail in the forest; all you need to do is to be a good follower (good listener). In time you will become a good leader (one of the 3% crowd).

You need to understand that building a womens home based business puts you in the people business. Your key roll in your womans home based business is to communicate. Communication it the life blood
on your home business, the ones that communicate best makes more income. Truth is that your communications should ALWAYS focus on your prospects not on you.

On the same line of thought, marketing sells not you. Marketing is nothing more than a means to make yourself attractive to your prospects. Adding the law of attraction in your business is your duty, you should make every effort the give your prospects what they want so they will want to reciprocate. That is in essence the law of give and take and it works well.

When you apply the law of attraction in building a womens home based business , they will trust you better and feel like you are on their side. What that means to you is that your prospect is now a warm prospect and more willing to associate with you. Marketing also helps them to make their buying tendencies greater.

Lastly, it’s about how good customer service applies. People tend to think that customer service is when a shopper drops a jar of pickles and makes a mess and asks for customer service. Naw… that aint it.

It’s part of good customer service, but look at the bigger picture. Service starts when you first encounter a prospect until they elect to disassociate with you. It is imperative that you influence them,
in other words engage them through good communication.

Good customer service is a win-win situation, the prospect feels satisfied by getting what they want and feel more important; and you have another opportunity to prospect them again, again and again. That is, if you take the opportunity to ask them ‘is it ok to contact them in the future.’ This type of prospecting is the way good home business is done for a better lifestyle & a purpose driven life.

Chris & Ted Morgan Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.

When I talk about making money online, no matter how I am talking about making that money online, for example, in this case, I am talking about making money online with advertising online - but no matter what I am talking about, it all boils down to traffic and converting that traffic.

You see, to make money online, you have to convert the traffic you get into buyers, and preferably long term buyers at that, and in order to convert traffic, you have to get traffic in the first place. So I am talking about traffic or converting it if I am talking about making money online.

And of course in this article, I am talking about making money here so I am talking about traffic or about converting that traffic.

When I talk about advertising online, I am talking really about two things - driving traffic to my sites - but I am also talking about prepping my traffic to be ready to respond to what I ask them to do.

So my ad is going to stimulate interest. And that way I get the click. But I generally will prepare the clicker for what they are going to get to when they click.

You see, my basic profit model online is that of the squeeze page to the opt in email list to the email campaign to the sales page. So when someone click on one of my ads, I want them to know that the reason they are clicking through is to download something - I do not want to waste the click unless they know they are going to be expected to download something to get value out of my site.

One of my favorite forms of advertising online is that of writing articles and submitting them to the various online article directories for online traffic - article marketing.

Fast communication turnaround and low cost are making the Internet an increasingly popular vehicle for consumer opinion surveys. To encourage more people to sign up as potential survey takers, give their demographic information and permission to send them surveys to take, the survey makers now offer cash payment to survey takers. So it is now possible to get paid for online surveys.

You get an email invitation to take a survey, go to the website and sign in, spend 10 minutes taking a survey, and you get a check for $5 to $25 in the mail. It’s happening every day; thousands of people are finding that it’s easy to get paid for online surveys and so they are happily participating!

Exactly what do you need to do to get paid for online surveys? Here’s your checklist:

1. Get a Good Guide Company. The paid survey marketplace is young and still like the wild frontier in places. There are good survey makers, bad ones, terrible ones and worse. With more than 700 of them in the U.S. alone, you need a guide to point you to the good ones and steer you away from the bad and worse ones. You can do your own research and testing, but it will take longer and cost you more in problems and lost opportunities. You make more money when you get paid for online surveys than you do when you are doing the necessary research

A good guide company is one which is sizeable, has been around for a while, is growing and has a 60 to 90 day money back guarantee, backed up by a responsible financial company like PayPal, ClickBank or a major bank. Additionally, the single most important selection factor is the refund rate, the percentage of people who sign up that demand a refund. A low refund rate means happy clients. A high refund rate means many unhappy clients. Look for a low refund rate, ideally in the 3-5% range. Avoid any company with a refund rate over 10%.

2. Apply to the maximum number of survey makers. When you sign up with your guide company they will give you their list of preferred (good) survey makers. It will be important to sign up with as many of these as you can, preferably all of them. These survey makers are the ones who will be inviting you to get paid for their online surveys. To invite you they have to know who you are and how to contact you. They also must have your demographic information to know for which paid surveys you qualify. So in order to get paid for online surveys you must have your information on file with these survey makers.

3. Get a separate email address and use it exclusively for your paid survey business. Use it in all your applications to survey makers. Check it daily and answer all correspondence.

4. Be diligent in responding. Take all paid surveys for which you receive invitations. Respond promptly, answer the questions completely, give your honest opinions. Be patient as the survey makers try you out. Be diligent in responding and more surveys and invitations to focus groups will come.

Depending on your demographics, in a few months you should be able to make $200 to $600 a month, up to $1,000 a month if you work at it hard enough. The work is easy, you set your own hours and the money is real and spendable!

When writing your resume objective you need to be very clear
and concise regarding the job, job title, or career that you
are qualified for. You need to be specifif and avoid general
catch all terms such as ‘I am seeking a management position.’
What the heck does that mean?

‘I am seeking a managerment position’ could mean almost anything.
Besides not telling your potential employer anything about the
job you are looking for or what you are qualified to do, it also
send a very negative signal. It tells your potential employer
that you are desperate for a job and pretty much willing to take
anything that comes your way.

Nobody wants to hire someone like that. At least not if the
position is anything above a temporary position or entry level.
Even in those cases, you will be better off with a clearly defined
resume objective.

When putting together your resume objective (and your entire job
search, for that matter) you need to think like a marketer. This
means being very targeted about what you are selling (yourself)
and who you are selling to (your potential employer).

Take the time to define your career objective and put it down on
paper. When you have that, you’ll be able to refine it into a
clear, precise, and concise resume objective that will wow your
employer. When the employers sees a great resume objective, the
rest of the resume will get read, moving you one step close to
landing the job interview.

Your resume objective needs to impress because the employer will
take about two seconds to decide if your resume is worth further
study or if it goes in the reject pile with 99% of the resumes
they receive.

Let them know from your resume objective that you can offer them
your unique skill set and experience that will be of benefit to
them and that you’re not just looking to meet your own goals and
agenda.

As we all should know by now, online traffic drives everything we do online. No matter how good everything else operates online, if we do not have traffic, we do not really have anything.

And one really good source of online traffic is search engine traffic. The nice thing aobut search engine traffic is that once it is created, it generally costs nothing to get - I am of course assuming natural or organic search engine rankings, and not PPC.

Of course, there is a cost in time or money to everything you do online - and time is money.

I currently (as of 4-10-07) generate about $75 for every hour I am online - so time is definitely money. Oh, by the way - once you start thinking of yourself and your time as having a value, your value online will go up.

The idea is that if you are doing work you can outsource for less than you are worth - you should outsource it - and I am going through the process of doing that for some time now.

Back to search engine traffic.

One of the ways that I like to generate search engine traffic is by writing and submitting articles with my links inside them - to the various online article directories.

The articles themselves give me instant traffic, and the backlinks help get me traffic in the search engines for years to come.

The bottom line with search engine optimization is that you have to have a purpose - and what is your purpose?

I like article marketing because it not only creates links for my search engine optimization strategy, but because it creates immediate traffic for my web site - which is my purpose.

As an Internet entreprenuer, what is your goal?

Is it really money? Yes money is very important. Is it fame? Yes that can be important, but is not a defining factor in success.

What is the point of being an entrepreneur anyway? It’s freedom. After all, you don’t want to work that 9-5, wasting the other 16 hours of your time earning no money, being told when to wake up, when to have your lunch breaks, when to go home, and when you have to work over-time.

This means your goal is have more free time, and earn more money. Not work harder, and earn more money.

Worker’s goal = Work more, earn more

Entrepreneur’s goal = Work less, earn more

See the difference?

Now, as an Internet entrepreneur, one of your main tasks is always to find information. After all, on the Internet, content is all that matters.

But where do you spend your time? If you spend 80% of your time on creating content, that means you only have 20% left for marketing activities. You want to do the opposite - 80% for marketing, 20% for creating content. This will make you more money.

Now, one way to create content is to hire a ghostwriter. That can be expensive. Especially if you create information products.

A faster way is to simply collect articles from your niche, and rewrite 80% of it. Nobody can stop you legally, as long as you change the main whole of the article.
