So What is Kawasaki Disease?

By Dr. Jeremy January 5, 2009 9:26am 7 Comments

Before I shed some light on Kawasaki disease, I would first like to share how saddened I was to hear of the loss of John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son just the other day.  You see, I am one who believes a parent should never have to bury his own child as it defies a simple premise I have about life.  And although there appears to …

New Year's Resolutions...For the Children

By Dr. Jeremy January 3, 2009 3:57am 6 Comments

Now while I am a firm believer you should create your own New Year's resolutions, I thought I'd give some food for thought when it comes to our children.  So in no particular order, consider these when considering your own child.

  1. Be the parent. Your child looks to you for guidance and direction. And it's your responsibility to provide …

What Is Your New Year’s Resolution?

By Cyndi December 31, 2008 1:26am 23 Comments

Making a resolution for the New Year is the same process as setting a goal at any time of the year.  I am a huge proponent of goal setting and I use it in my practice regularly.  It is my firm belief that the best way to accomplish anything is to set a goal and then to map out the steps you will take to achieve that goal.   …

Children Of Divorced Parents Information

This community is for the children of divorce, both for adult children who have lived through a divorce as well as parents concerned about the effects of divorce on their children.

Children of divorced parents (those entirely from unhappy families) are reported to have a higher chance of behavioral problems than those of non-divorced parents (a mix of happy and unhappy families). Studies have also reported the former to be more likely to suffer abuse than children in intact families, and to have a greater chance of living in poverty. A 2002 article in Clinical child and Family Psychology Review discusses a variety of health consequences for children of the unhappy couples that do divorce. Since by definition all children of divorced parents had lived in unhappy homes, children report numerous unhappy experiences. Numerous subjects said things like "I saw some of the things my parents did and know not to do that in my marriage and see the way they treated each other and know not to do that to my spouse and my children. I know [the divorce] has made me more committed to my husband and my children." Ahron's method of asking adult children of divorce how they feel about it also has the well-known weaknesses of "self-report" studies.
