All In The Family: The Struggle To Keep Our Children Lean And Healthy
Posted on April 11th, 2010 by admin
Many parents do not identify their child as “overweight,” but will select a sketch of a heavier model when asked to choose one representative of their child, new study findings show.
“Comparisons between images and sketches showed that parents’ visual perceptions of their children more clearly reflect their child’s physical appearance than words they might use to classify the child’s weight,” study author Dr. Helen J. Binns, of Northwestern University in Chicago told Reuters Health.
“So parents have a correct visual perception, but don’t consider that to fit in the medical diagnostic categories,” she added.
Previous studies have found that helping parents recognize their child’s overweight status and their willingness to make the necessary behavioral changes is key to their child’s treatment. Parents who fail to recognize that their child needs help may not be ready to receive any related counseling or other interventions, researchers say.

“We have to become more conscious of our feeling-world. By learning to identify the ‘emotional baggage’ and manage our feeling-world reactions, we can view life based on current information instead of being held captive by our past.”

Self-discovery
Posted on April 5th, 2010 by admin
Our real journey in life is one of self discovery. When we apply ourselves to rise above limitation, we realize our personal strength. In this excerpt from the books by Harold W. Becker, he shares how when we learn to heal and let go of outmoded belief systems we open ourselves up to entirely new possibilities. There are no mistakes in life, just misunderstood experiences.

People can get obsessed by trying to look convincing or slick, and neglect the content of their presentation. They perform all the textbook hand gestures, and what comes out of their mouths doesn’t match up. A bit like watching 100 chavs pour out of a limo. It just doesn’t seem right.
Sometimes however I do give advice on body language for presenting - especially when it detracts from the message. Here are the 3 biggest body language presentation pitfalls, and what you can do to avoid them:
