SCIENCE, WHEN USED AS A BASIS OF AUTHORITY in an art such as health often demonstrates its weakness. Almost everyone in North America, and most other regions, has at least one chronic illness today --- and the number has been increasing geometrically for decades. Science is very good at determining generalities, trends, and simple relationships. It fails miserably when forced into application to justify treatments for illness involving hundreds of potential contributing factors assembled in individualized sets and combinations.
WHEN SCIENCE IS USED TO JUSTIFY mechanistic approaches to interacting with a dynamic process, it delays relevant acceptance of solutions which involve little risk, minimal cost, and the resolution of much pain, discouragement, failure, and a progression to improved health.
Ultimately, you need to recognize that the choice is yours as to how you care for yourself and interact with others. You are responsible for the outcome and your contribution or lack of.
PARENTS
INFORMATION PRESENTED ON THIS SITE should not be shocking or embarrassing to any mature person.
It is normal, though seldom constructive, for parents in our North American society to become anxious, defensive, frustrated, embarrassed, angry, and abusive when they clearly lack an awareness of basic information which younger or lower status individuals bring or present to them and ask them about.
BY TAKING THE TIME to familiarize yourself with the content of this site, you avoid this possible difficulty. Your ignorance is not a valid reason for withholding or misjudging or defaming fact and reality. Children and yourself can either be exposed to realism and fact, or, to hearsay, fantasy, and deception. The former provides constructive coping abilities.
CHILDREN AND IMMATURE PERSONS do not often express an interest in levels of information, the understanding of which requires further maturity. Often, children desire simple, direct answers --- not extended descriptions and complex theories. Respect their development and need for a mentor who has confident self-esteem and can encourage persistence to accomplishment and the independence of thought which leads to the innovation, creativity, and flexibility required to cope successfully.
YOU CAN BE THAT MENTOR.
In fact, as a parent, or parent assistant, you WILL be a mentor ... either for a positive or destructive lifestyle, or, for an ambivalent and confused existence. It is your responsibility to know and understand the contents of this site and be able to put it in perspective for your children according to the values you support.
GOOD PARENTING contributes to good children ... and more good parents. All forms of health begin in the home.
QUALITY LIFESTYLE for QUALITY LIVING.
