  How to stay calm during Toddler's Tantrum You might think that you're an expert when it comes to keeping your toddler calm and collected in a toddler tantrum, but how do you stay calm during the worst of them? Here is something I have learned over time after dealing with toddlers that make their own noise. When your child is whining about things they don't like (like playing on a teddy bear, or being unable to play in the backyard as much), try not to let your guard down. When your child is screaming for attention and is beginning to cry (or tantrum because they get too many "time out's"), take a deep breath and hold back whatever negative emotion is coming up. Try not to allow yourself to be reactive, just take a moment to slow down a bit, take a breath before you can react, and maybe just say a few encouraging words.  This will help keep your child from getting upset so bad that they can't control what they are doing. Don't give up a chance to win ...

Sometimes it can be tough when you’re out with people, especially if you have social anxiety. But that doesn’t mean you need to always feel like you’re being the center of attention. One way to get through this kind of environment is by using some techniques to avoid making others feel uncomfortable. These tricks can help even those who are struggling with their own self-esteem issues. As a result of these hacks, you might find yourself getting along better with the rest of your group of friends or coworkers. There are many different ways you can use them. The method that I used was very simple but effective. And for me personally, the trick was “tune into other people’s body language.” Body Language Is Everything When It Comes To Personal Relationships. Body language also happens to other types of conversations, which gives us a sense of how we can best approach someone. We all know what body language really means, which includes our posture, eye contact, and facial expression. They a...

  What is a "Coping plan"? A coping plan describes steps that you can take to manage your anxiety (and also how the "plan" makes you feel), along with things that you might want to stop doing or do differently. You may have found an online resource, a list of helpful things to get done each morning before you wake up, or maybe even a simple outline of what you want to accomplish that day and the goal, such as writing down all positive thing that happened to yourself. Whatever coping plan you create, you should try your best to stick with it and keep going. Try not to overthink your process. Your plan doesn't need to be perfect, but if you make it imperfect, then it will be easier to follow through on what you've said you'll do in your plan. In addition to being easy to follow, your plan will be effective if you start with small manageable goals, like getting into your car and reading the entire article about self-care that came up to your mind. This proc...

The only thing that matters is how fast you can react to changes and the results are much more important than what was originally planned” — Mark Zuckerberg There was an experiment conducted by some of the greatest minds in marketing where they asked participants for their perceived value in three distinct scenarios: receiving a promotion, being offered a discount at the expense of another customer and not. It turns out that people were able to make choices based on value instead of speed. The goal was to measure how much attention these participants paid to changing the timing of the offered behavio. If there is no discount or promotion in place, the majority of users have chosen the same time slot, but those who received the discount or promotional offer changed timing. They did so because it seemed most appealing to them and made sense to them. There is certainly an initial response to this change. However, when the timing becomes more complex, users react differently and start ch...

If you have a self-love issue, it’s time to get up and do something about it. There are lots of reasons why you might want to put your own needs first, but the most common reason is ego or insecurity issues that need to be dealt with first. The best way to start doing this is by making yourself vulnerable in some way. For example, if you feel like you cannot say anything good about yourself, don't try to keep your emotions bottled up. It can be as simple as saying “thank you for reminding me that I'm pretty on the inside.” The truth is that you are pretty (or you just am). You should not hide from anyone. This kind of honesty is important to building trust and being authentic in all relationships. When you let anyone see what kind you are on the inside, you have built walls. These walls help no one get close to you. A healthy relationship is one full of open communication and understanding of each other’s individual truths. Not talking about yourself is bad because it makes...

A recent study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley has found that there are significant correlations between schizophrenia and certain psychosocial variables. The results will provide scientists with new insight into how schizophrenia is associated with patients’ environmental factors as well as other related diagnoses such as bipolar. Other factors include social support, occupational functioning, and substance abuse, all of which can contribute to schizophrenic symptoms. These discoveries may also assist in finding treatment options or aid in prognoses for patients. Researchers analyzed data from a retrospective cohort that focused on self-reported symptoms of schizophrenia in patients over five years. This data was based solely on direct interviews for self-reported symptoms, although some participants also providedinformation about hospital data, lab tests, and more recent medical history. All available patient information came from a long list of ...

  Difference between Anxiety and Depression What Is Anxiety? Anxiety is a fear that happens in your mind. You can have anxiety when you are going to die or something else bad will happen to you. This fear of death may come from the things that you want, like attending a wedding or having friends over for dinner. In most cases, you can always remember those reasons you have for getting worried about something else. It's just the anxious thoughts that give you an uneasy feeling in the heart. Some people will have anxiety in their everyday life, but they will not think about it much or even notice that it is there. When something bad happens to them it usually takes a long time before they realize that they are suffering from it. But when they get scared by what's happening around them, they are more aware and start thinking about what's happening in their lives. When you have anxiety, your mind works in three directions by itself. First, there's the internal...

Impact of Birth Order on our Personality When we talk about the impact of our childhood on our personality it could be either positive or negative. The effects of birth order could also have a huge impact on our way of thinking and actions. People who are born in different orders, as well as different genders, are affected differently by their childhood experiences. There is no doubt that life experiences can either improve or impede the way we act and think. For example, women who fall into the second half of birth order are more likely to engage in violent behavior, while those who are born in the first and third order may exhibit higher levels of pro-social inclinations. These two gender groupings influence individual differences in many ways, including how they view themselves and others. Some common examples of this are their feelings of self-pride and their tendency to want to control situations. Despite having little knowledge of these factors, people from a ce...

  Consequences of lack of Self-Discipline in Personal Growth The lack of self-discipline in growth can be traced to a wrong upbringing, from an overprotective parent and others who are not mature enough to take responsibility for their actions or responsibilities. This is because children who have been left to their own devices experience less difficulty following through on tasks as they become more confident and independent thinkers. They also learn that it’s okay to do things their way and not follow any rules. As adults, these people who can control themselves can go out and achieve those goals and dreams which they could never achieve without these little kids guiding them along the way. So, having no self-discipline is harmful to your personal development, it creates insecurity and fear of failure when you don’t know how to get to your goal or when something goes wrong. It makes you feel unimportant and doesn’t give your confidence back. But when ...

 Live in the moment : “Past was like a dream from the past and future is only a possibility of the near” ~Wang-Chi Ong To bring awareness to self as well as to others. We may have trouble believing it but once we do we know we can stand strong and be who we aspire to be. “A person’s success is determined by his ability to work himself into the right mindset, willing to put in his extra effort, and doing everything he knows will help him reach his goal” -Andrew Yang When people see us struggling or not even working hard. It’ll make them question if they are helping themselves or if what we are doing is truly worth it. And sometimes you can feel the same way when you aren’t making money. Instead of thinking about the big picture, maybe it can be more beneficial just to focus on the little things. For example, having a new hobby and pursuing it may make a difference in how we deal with stress and the stresses of everyday life. Or perhaps just going for a wa...
