Mindfulness is about paying attention to what’s going on right now, moment by moment, rather than thinking about the past or worrying about the future. Mindfulness can boost emotional and physical wellbeing. It can also help you with stress, anxiety and depression. Mindfulness: the basics Our minds are constantly active. You might be watching television – but also thinking about the past, or worrying about something, or wondering what you’re going to have for dinner. Mindfulness has been defined in several ways, including: giving your complete attention to the present on a moment-by-moment basis paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgment. It’s about being more aware as you live and experience each moment – as the moment happens. It can be a useful way of calming yourself and focusing on what you’re doing.

Why it’s good to talk about your child’s disability Your child is part of your life, and the people close to you will appreciate knowing what your child’s diagnosis means for you. The more your family and friends understand about your child and you, the more they can support you. Talking to friends and family can also help you accept the diagnosis. Talking about your child’s diagnosis might even help it feel real for you. Why it can be hard to talk to others Sometimes it can be hard to talk to other people about your child’s disability.

People you don’t want to share the diagnosis with ask about it. You’re concerned about other people’s re...

No legal age for leaving children home alone There’s no one law in India that says at what age you can or can’t leave your child home alone. In Queensland if you leave a child under 12 years of age for an ‘unreasonable time’ without supervision you have committed a misdemeanour. However, the legislation also says that whether the time is unreasonable depends on all the relevant circumstances. The law says you’re legally obliged to make sure that your child is properly looked after. You’re expected to provide food, clothing, a place to live, safety and supervision. You can be charged with an offence if your child is left in a dangerous situation, not fed, clothed or provided with accommodation. The police or Children, Youth and Family Services can remove children from situations where their safety is in serious danger and where there’s no guardian present. This means that you need to use your own judgment about leaving children home alone. This involves thinking about whet...

For most of my young adult life, I Had been celebrate Valentine’s Day with my ,,,,,,,,,,,. It has always been something I never had to think or worry about — until now. I’m okay with it because being single on this day is not something to be ashamed or embarrassed about. In fact, I think it calls for a celebration. While couples will celebrate their love on this day and probably post an annoying amount of photos to prove it (sorry, but it’s true), us single people should be celebrating not only our love for who we have in our lives, but our love for ourselves. After all, Valentine’s Day is not called the day of couples, or the day of relationships. It’s called the day of love. And who wouldn’t want to celebrate that? Instead of having high expectations of what your boyfriend or girlfriend would plan for you on this day, you get to plan a day for yourself. Instead of being incredibly happy with another person, be incredibly happy with yourself. Instead of having...

Every year more and more Indians are becoming aware of a celebration or festival called ‘Valentine’s Day’. Those who participate or engage in such celebration do not fully understand  what is valentine’s day and why it is celebrated, who started celebrating it or how it should be celebrated? And the same goes for all the forces who oppose that Valentine’s day should not be celebrated or for their opinion that the youth are getting into western or orthodox Christian culture. And as far those who know little about St.Valentine, they think that that the Saint was involved in uniting couples in love and had been persecuted for that and even in prison he coupled many in love, for he was the embodiment of love and that of Jesus’s Gospel. The “root” of all religion is “Love”. Every Religion talks only about Love. Christianity is about Love, Love for Humanity. Islam is for Love. Love and compassion is the message of their messenger. Buddha is once again of “L...

  Stress in teenagers – and anyone – isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Stress is the way your body responds to challenges and gets you ready to face them with attention, energy and strength. Stress gets you ready for action. When you feel you can cope with these challenges, stress gives you the motivation to get things done. But there can be problems when your stress is greater than your ability to cope. Signs of stress in teenagers Signs of stress in teenagers can show up in their behaviour, emotions, body and thinking.

To be fair, no one has ever pretended that parenting a teenager was going to be easy. Still, until your own kids reach that stage, it's tempting to believe your family will be immune to teen behavior problems. No, you tell yourself, your teenager will never talk back, stay out too late or pierce her eyebrow. Teenagers are basically hard-wired to butt heads with their parents, says Stuart Goldman, MD, director of psychiatric education at Children's Hospital in Boston. "Adolescence is a time of rapid change for kids both physically and cognitively," he explains. "It's the task of the teenager to fire their parents and then re-hire them years later, but as consultants rather than managers." But that doesn't mean you have to take it lying down. With the right approach, you can troubleshoot the following teen behavior problems in a relatively civilized fashion. Teen Behaviour Problem 1: Your Teen Seems To Hate You One minute your sweet chil...
