Why children steal? Meaning of behavior

Some kids do not distinguish between proprietary and foreign, and sometimes take "on loan" which does not belong to them. How should we interpret their behavior?

Experts in child psychology say that kids do not know what a "robbery" after seven or eight years old. Until then, it will clearly distinguish what is theirs and what is not. Many guys are surprised at some time, returning from school subject that does not belong to them (a pencil, some crayons, a ball) or taking a couple of coins portfolio mom. If this is an isolated incident and most of all they are, the experts recommend not dramatize the situation.

Everything is all. Many kids think that in a family are all things of all. Like not asking permission to eat a cookie, it does not believe it necessary to ask to open the purses of their parents. In these cases, one-time action can eliminate the misunderstanding. To better understand the concept of "ownership", parents can give a small weekly fee (5 pesos, for example) that might have himself.

In parallel, they should clarify that there are things that are not theirs, and just as they do not open your piggy bank without its consent, it must respect the belongings of others.
This explanation is also valid when the take over of small objects that are of other kids, in which case, you will have to return the stolen. A wake-up call.
This is not the little things that appropriates outside regularly commit thefts or in public. These events are a warning sign that should never be ignored. With his attitude, the child can be demanding more attention and affection.

COUNCIL
The boys who steal to buy the friendship of others with gifts reflect a lack of confidence in themselves. To overcome it, may require the help of a psychologist.

How to detect child abuse

-- A child who suffered mistreatment by their parents is not necessarily son of a family and unstructured class economically weak. The middle classes and professionals give an index unfortunately high.

-- The boy or girl does not say - mostly - who are abused as generally assumed as if they were guilty of something they do not understand.

-- The two positions normal response to ill-treatment are entirely different:
In one case, the child is enclosed in itself and invents a fantasy world with some parents ideals, even reaches say that their parents have died or dreams of it. In the second case, the child played behaviour with friends and family dolls, developing an aggressiveness that you become a child difficult and increasing personal problems at home.

-- In case of discovering an abused child, the case should be reported to school or the police (if they encounter significant physical) ..

-- Never should accuse a child who told us brutality. Must be a psychologist to decide whether it should be and that this intervention strategy to adopt.

The temptation of fetishism

The criteria underlying the rules of normal sexual behavior vary and change with age, sex physical, social role or the historic moment. From this point of view our society has established certain arbitrary distinctions between variation, abnormality and perversion.

It is said that sexual behaviour is abnormal when it is not commonly practised, as well as noted sickly or pathological. While sexual perversion is considered dangerous to himself or society (sadism, masochism, paedophilia, rape and to a lesser extent, exhibitionism).

By contrast, the voyeurism and fetishism, are usually little or nothing dangerous, from the standpoint of aggression or threat, and could be considered only as parafilias. The fetishism would be considered serious if it is practiced only able to find satisfaction, emotional and sexual, or through certain practices fetishists.

Instead, it would be mild if the act is used as an introduction or fetish to change sexual practices. But as Eysenck said, "Sex and Personality," both very much like the Puritans libertine, frequently commit the same mistake. They come to believe that their sexual behaviour is the best possible, the single most satisfactory and acceptable.

Here we should implement the rule known; Freedom has its own limits in the other. Most people have heard of fetish of the feet, every day there are more people who say that "they will skin", sex boutiques around the world exposed clothing and other items allegedly exciting ...

These and some others are so-called fetish. The term "fetish" was used originally to describe the magic or religious objects found in some South American or African cultures. The meaning was extended in 1888, by Dr. Alfred Binet to refer to objects that can induce an intense sexual interest on one person.

What to do if you have children with psychic powers?

Sometimes children have starring facts rather than striking: cases of telepathy and clairvoyance, among others, are much more common lo que se cree. Parents feel reluctant to encourage the powers at his son when they deal with the situation, almost always prefer to ignore what happened and give him an education so common as any other child.

All children, to a greater or lesser extent, have powers and manifest also in greater or lesser degree. Depend on their parents that their small or not develop these capacities, depending on the ideas and concepts that adults are responsible for their growth.

Remember that to seven or eight years these powers will eventually disappear by themselves, for the moment, portato with him as if nothing and keep a lot of patience, I know very affectionate and tries to understand and talk with him whenever he wishes.

Not rebuked his actions related to this phenomenon; indeed, without building their capacity, encáuzalo the form of a game; thus unirás something useful with the enjoyable.

Investigating whales

Being first among whales is a memorable experience. And even more when it comes to the Franco-southern right whale, the most weak among all large cetaceans.

In Atlanta there are about 350 individuals North and South in Atlanta, about 12,000, of whom one third live on the Peninsula Vaidés, Argentina.
Its quiet coves are the ideal places to see dozens of mothers with their offspring approaching boat tourists, and remain there without moving.
"The population here is growing at 7% per annum," said Mariano Sironi, biologist from the Institute of Conservation of Whales (ICB), while a large tail hit the water several times a few metres from our tiny zodiac.

The institute works in collaboration with Roger Payne, one of the most respected scholars of whales.
"Since 1970 we identified photographically by air and sea some 2,000 animals and do follow-up. Our catalog is the largest and the study is more continuity in the world. Each cetacean mind," explains Sironi.

Among the work of BCI, researchers evaluated the health status of the frank through the height of the roll of fat on his neck. He also estimated the age of juveniles across photogrammetry. His study is more detailed than exists on the behavior of juveniles and their social interactions.

Suddenly, an albino ballenato approaches the boat on the starboard side. Her mother censorship Apart from his daring us with the powerful tail. But the small ignored and resolves to dive out by port. His snout is almost pink, her skin is soft and his face is covered by the frank nature of the calluses, which also serve to identify him, according to Payne discovered. At aspire, retozón ballenato produces a noise similar to a large body.

"Now, thanks to the Programme right whale, led by Victoria Rowntree, we have accumulated information vital to science and we have also reached many people across our program of adoption of this species. In addition we are analysing the impact of diving on the behavior of these cetaceans, which is a new problem in power, "says Sironi.

Suddenly the bay full of whales jumping, applauding and water delivered to their games: his favorite sport is surfing, exposing the tail to the wind, how to sail.
When darkened accompanied us with three-dimensional sound of their breaths, augmented by the echo and a calm night without wind.

Mystery reproductive behaviour of squid

A squid Atlantic and Pacific, Gonatus onys. has been photographed carrying their children-between 2,000 and 3,000 eggs under-feet. This behavior was unknown until now.

With the help of a remotely piloted submersible cameras and high-resolution, the U.S. investigator Brad Seib has witnessed this astonishing care for a squid, as other species of cephalopod eggs deposited in the sea floor, where they thrive.

The tentacles, performing movements repeated at intervals of 30 or 40 seconds, lifting water between eggs for oxygen.
Those who are dropping, hatch. This ensures that the making and eggs reach maturity.

The aggressiveness of the dogs

As American researcher says Samuel Gosling, heritable traits are not as crucial to the successful conduct canine.

His studies reveal that copies of the same race may have different personalities depending on their training and the environment in which they grow.

The momentum of dogs for hunting, curiosity, defence or, more fearsome, for the attack, may be inherited or acquired. There are dogs considered dangerous potenctalmente as the doberman, rottwailer, the doge or the Argentine pit bull, whose breeding and possession are banned in Denmark and Holland.

However, although its genetic configuration are fitted with a device or a corpulent masticador enormous, educated as pets do not normally present an aggressive mood.

At the other extreme is the bulldog, an animal extremely vague that rehuye violence and exercise. The zangolotina and playful behavior is well represented by the boxer.

For his part, the German shepherd dog is a serious, obedient and good guardian, although some individuals show a tendency to irritation.
Something that also happens to small yorkshire, which despite its sporadic evil genius is a wonderful companion dog.
Interestingly a study by the Medical University of Graz in Austria, made in this region, showed that the German shepherd is the most bites.

How to overcome difficult situations

Differences of views, injustices, not attitudes that we like and we get angry always going to happen.

Such situations often lead to an attack immediately erupted in anger, anger and consequently aggressiveness.

To live with this, you should start by controlling the instant reaction of that anger that stems from your being. Breathe deep and count to 10 when you feel such a burst. Once you've learned to control these first few seconds of anger, it's time to learn to cope with what follows.

For example, let's assume that your partner has forgotten again to pay taxes on the relevant date. When you whole, you get angry a lot, but before creating a fight without limits that can lead to aggressiveness, relax, close your eyes, up to 10 accounts, and you're talking about the matter.

Explain calmly to the other person why you are so angry with this situation, your fears, your anxieties and criticisms.

Proponle start thinking a solution to the problem, for example, agree that one day prior to the deadline for paying the tax status of the proposal in the example above, no longer stuck somewhere that is in sight, invoices and a note of remembrance.

Find ideas for solving problems, and also to help them not become repeat, is essential.

In this way, your behaviour towards difficult times will be extremely successful.

How to prevent psychosis?

The psychiatrist at Columbia University Ezra S. Susser is conducting a follow-up of child development "high risk" in trying to identify early warning signs that may help prevent psychosis.
Those who seem more involved in the psychotic disorder are:

• complications during birth.
• Difficulties in maintaining attention.
• Poor coordination muscle.
• Conduct emotionally unpredictable.
• Mother with schizophrenia serious and lasting.
• Separation or divorce of parents.
• Behavior revolt or retracted.
• Games and lonely little relation to other children.

The enigma of twins

The behavior of the four Genain twin sisters, born in the U.S. in 1930, drew the attention of psychiatrists at the time.
As a child, Hester broke light bulbs and was booted ios buttons; Nora gems during meals and put on their knees and elbows to bleed, with 22 years, Iris stopped working because he felt "trapped"; Myra was better, but are easily frightened and reassure her hard work.

The four were diagnosed with schizophrenia, which seemed to prove the importance of genetic factors, since the probability that the disorder affects four people chosen at random is 1 in 100 million.

Moreover, the degree of gravity was different in each one, which indicated the presence of other factors, but what?

The psychologist David Ro-senthal explained the differences in degree from family relationships, as Myra, the less sick, was the favorite of the mother, and Hester, the most serious, since girl was labeled as "bad".

For his part, the neuropsychologist Alian F. Mirsky discovered that the twins through tomography most affected also showed more abnormalities in their brain activity and that their frontal lobes, which act as a focal point for information, were weaker and less energy consuming than those of their sisters.

According Mirsky, Genain suffered varying degrees of injuries due to the order of their birth. Nora could suffer trauma as the first to pass through the uterus and Hester, most recently, by lack of oxygen.

The brain scanner in a recent case of twins, Elmore, proved that the ventricles of Steven, schizophrenic, had thicker tissue and neuro-nal thinner than the mentally healthy David.

Phobias

The phobias are a class of dysfunction of the character and of the behavior that they are not able to consioderarse authentic madness, but that they limit the normal life of who suffer them. In general, great part of the phobias is considered not very serious dysfunctions, since they don't end up modifying in excess the affected individual's legal capacity, but only your way to live and to feel punctual events: before a snake, will you be able to be paralyzed of terror, but how many reptiles are you possible to see around in our industrialized society? And if one fears to the heights until the point of getting dizzy, with avoiding too high sibirse, everything will be controlled. This way, the existence of a phobia is only detected when your appearance represents a true handicap, a problematic limitation for the quotidian life that accuse that something strange you happen.

What should be very clear from a start is that, the phobia is not more than a way more than expressing the anxiety: some scream, others cry. You are to consider then, this complicated petition like a safety appliance that it can facilitate to the affected one the coexistence with that concrete anguish. Of not being funneled this way, you would overcome the borders of the humanly bearable thing. Thanks to the existence of this feature of urgency, you are derived the anxiety to some very concrete and clearly defined status, but variable manifestation.

The phobic ones that more treatment requests are the agoraphobics, that is to say, auqellos that suffer when they are among the multitude or in open spaces; the claustrophobics, those that suffer in petty or very closed places; and in general who suffer some social concrete phobia, I eat for example to live in collective.

On the other hand, the specific phobias or almost inadvertent simplespasan for the remainder of the humans: who suffer when vé a worm, a spider or simply blood, will hardly fix in your problems, since it can allocate your anguish to an apprehension excess.

As for the why of the appearance of the phobias, the clinical reports suggest that the traumatic tests that cause a strong reaction of anguish mark the start of some phobias. However, in spite of the advances in the field of the neurociencias, we find the dark side of our emotions incomprehensible, especially in case we are caught by them. We react with a terror flare without the córtex knows what you are happening: the wonderful emociñon is activated before the pansy and in a standalone way.

How are you treated this problem? According to the experts, the precedence is to return the trust in itself to the patient who besides the treatment, you need support. This process can last from four months to several years, depending on the graveness of the case and of the elected therapy.

Councils to Lead - Team Leader

To be a leader is, among other things, to change the attitude and behavior of your group. Some commissions to be able to achieve this are:

1. Comienze with praise and sincere appreciation. You are always easier to hear unpleasant things after heard book credit some praise.

2. You be about getting the carefulness indirectly on the errors of the other ones.

3. You count tests of your own errors before criticizing those of the other ones. Not it is so difficult to hear a relationship of the own bugs if the one that make it begins admitting lowly that he is also far from the perfection. To admit the own errors, even when one has not corrected them, he/she can help to convince to the other of the convenience of changing your behavior.

4. You ask questions instead of giving commands.

To ask questions doesn't only return more acceptable the commands, but rather frequently he/she boosts the creativity from the person to who are asked.

5. You let another person to elevate your prestige.

Without never thinking that we hurt the neighbor's pride. Even when we are right and the other person is clearly mistaken, we will only harm if we make you lose prestige. "Not I am entitled to say or to make anything - you wrote TO. Of Saint Exupéry - that diminish to a man before itself. What import is not what I think of him, but what he thinks of if same. To hurt a man in your dignity is a crime.

6. You eulogize the pettiest progress and, also, each progress. You be "hot in your approval and generous in your praises." "The praise is as the sunlight for the human spirit; we cannot flourish and to grow without him. And even so, although almost all are always clever to apply people the critic's cold wind, we always feel certain reluctance when you are about giving our neighbor the hot light of the praise" I comment the psychologist Jess Leir. The capacities wither under the critic; they flourish under the stimulus.

7. You allocate the other person a good reputation so that you are interested in maintaining it.

8. You encourage the other person. You make that the errors seem easy to correct.

9. You try the other person to feel satisfied of making what you suggest.
