<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> As a mental health professional practicing counseling for over 17 years and owning my own therapy practice, my career is all about empowering people so they can lead healthier, autonomous lives. In my work, the focus tends to be on effective communication skills, healthy emotional regulation, self-care practices, relationship building and maintenance skills, etc. My clientele is very diverse from the very poor to the very affluent, from children to grandparents, and from Americans of various national heritages to refugees who have experienced extreme trauma in multiple countries, both natural and human-made. Additionally, I do consultancy work as a "cultural broker" in mental health, when empowering the Bhutanese refugee community in Baltimore, MD who are of Nepali origin. I take extreme pride and satisfaction in the work I do as I help people rebuild lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> In Nepal, at this time, there is a movement going on where there is a push for Nepal to be empowered rather than be helpless and mere recipients of donations from the international community. These advocates realize that Nepal cannot prosper in this way if this pattern continues in the rebuilding process. There is also a call for action to empower the Nepalese people by teaching them skills that can be sustainable long-term. Hence, I am responding to this call for action here by focusing on strategies to enhance self-empowerment given the Nepalese cultural context. Quite frankly, the skills I will focus on will help anybody really, both on a micro and macro level. However, let us first understand some key terms: empowerment versus self-empowerment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Empowerment</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> is when you derive strength from
something or someone external like volunteers’ leaders who are empowering their
volunteering team in the rescue, relief, and rebuilding efforts as it is
happening right now in Nepal post-earthquakes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Empowerment can also be derived from inanimate objects like achievement
awards and job salary increase which validate to someone that they are competent and worthy of this
award or monetary compensation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> There is no shortage of the crave for this type of external validation in both collectivistic and individualistic cultures, but we will not get into the dynamics and implications here. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Self-empowerment is slightly different than empowerment.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Self-empowerment</i> is when you derive
strength from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">within</i> yourself. This
difference is critical to understand as we explore the Nepalese culture, which
is one of the most fascinating and ethnically diverse societies in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Nepal is a collectivistic culture, which basically means that group values and beliefs take precedence over individual ones. However, the implications for self-empowerment are great in this type of group-oriented culture whether it be Nepal or elsewhere. </span></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">A</span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">s you read the tips on self-empowerment below please keep in mind that these assumptions hold true: (1) Not one culture is better or worse than another culture (2) Just because something has been done in a certain way for a long time, it does not mean it cannot be challenged and changed (3) When something in our lives is </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not </i><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">working for us, then we do have a </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">choice</i><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> in the matter in terms of how we deal with our circumstances. The choices may not be good or fair ones, but we do have a choice nonetheless, and this is in and of itself </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">empowering</i><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">. Here, I will just ask you to entertain the <i>possibility</i> of these cultural shifts, but not necessarily to agree with my assertions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><u><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></u></i></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Engage in healthy emotional regulation</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. All human beings have emotions, and regulating these
emotions requires basic three steps: emotional awareness, expression, and management. The tricky part is
when cultural values and beliefs impact this process.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> In the Nepalese culture, we are not encouraged to share our emotions but rather to suppress them. You will often hear loved ones say things like "Let's forget the past," or "You shouldn't feel that way." This happens mainly for these three reasons. First, we believe that we will hurt others’ feelings
and disrupt social harmony in families and with friends if we were to share how we honestly feel about someone or something. It can upset our loved one, so therefore, we are not to share our emotions. Second, expressing our emotions is seen as a
sign of weakness, which makes us vulnerable to others. There is a belief system that people may take advantage of us, dominate, or exploit us ("hep cha" or "faida utaucha"). Thirdly, when we express our true feelings to others,
this will compromise “ijat,” which is essentially a combination of social
status and saving face so we do not make ourselves or our loved ones look “bad”
and lose our place in the very complex social hierarchy in the Nepalese culture, which itself is very diverse ethnically with its own subsystems within the caste system. Couple that with the class system, then this really complicates matter thousandfold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Here is the part we <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">must</i> understand. If we do NOT adequately regulate our emotions, then those emotions (now
very intense emotions since regular expression has not occurred) come out in
very unhealthy ways and in the most inconvenient of times and places like a large
social gathering, a job interview, social media, etc. where there are many, many
witnesses to our emotional outbursts or other vulnerabilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, this cultural belief that it
is <i>not</i> ok to express our emotions to others is what actually goes against our Nepalese cultural values because this practice compromises
social harmony, makes us more vulnerable, and creates tension in the family and
peer dynamics. Furthermore, this compromises not only <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ijat</i>
but also group solidarity, which ultimately ends up hurting others’ feelings
and stunting our emotional growth both individually and collectively….the very things we
are trying to avoid. In psychology, we call this the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">self-fulfilling prophecy</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">2. Know the difference between what is within
your control and outside of your control. </b>This is a simple principle
but a difficult one to practice, especially if you do not have much practice with #1
(emotional regulation). If you identify a problem, then you have to ask yourself first: “Are the solutions to this problem within or outside of my control?”
If they are within your control, then you do whatever appropriate to solve it
given your personal circumstances. If they are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> in your control then you just simply let natural
consequences take its course and have faith in a higher power to make it all
work out at the end. Wasting time and energy on something that is outside of our control is draining emotionally, physically, and mentally. That time and energy can be better spent in productive ways elsewhere.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> When the earthquakes happened in Nepal, we understood that we cannot control Mother Nature, but we <i>can</i> certainly make sure that we have adequate buildings codes that can be implemented across the board so we are not so vulnerable in the future. I have slept through earthquakes in Tokyo because they have good building codes and they are implemented well. The Japanese system works, ours does not. Any earthquake expert will tell you that we have to first change our mindset to "earthquakes don't kill people, buildings kill people" if we really want to see meaningful changes. We can collectively <i>choose</i> to move towards this mindset.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
3. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hold yourself responsible for both
positive and negative behaviors.</b> This is basically
asking oneself: “What is <i>my</i> role in all of this?” If it’s something positive like
getting a promotion then this will foster feelings of pride, joy, competency, confidence,
etc. when you recognize your own efforts and when others recognize your efforts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> If it is negative like losing a job, then understanding our
role in the problem will also help us to be self-empowered. We can successfully identify the problem and take measures to correct it so it
does not happen again and <i>again.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In other words, we cannot fix a problem if we do not know what the problem is. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">On a national level, an example of this that sticks out for me is the piles of garbage on the streets in Nepal which contribute to the pollution that harms <i>everyone</i>. If we invest in better sanitation systems <i>as well as</i> hold ourselves and our children accountable by <i>not </i>littering, then this is a major progress in my humble opinion. If we just pick up the trash in our immediate surroundings as we go shopping or play outside, others will see it and with time, they will do the same. This is the beauty of our group-oriented culture: if there is a good leader, then people will follow. We can channel our group values in positive and productive ways. The positive ripple effects of this cultural shift is truly mind-blowing and ever so empowering. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> When we
do <i>not</i> hold ourselves accountable, we are more likely to play the blame game,
which really just ends up hurting ourselves and others. It is very
counterproductive and disrupts social harmony. Admitting to making a mistake and apologizing for it is one simple way to hold ourselves accountable for negative behaviors. We cannot be successful until we hold ourselves accountable <i>first</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">4. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hold
others responsible for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">their </i>positive
and negative behaviors and consequences without playing the blame game</b>.
This can be applied in both individual and at the societal level. Post-earthquakes,
it’s no news that many Nepalese people have been utterly dissatisfied and distrustful of the
nation’s leaders for a very long time and the animosity towards the government
is all over social media and other communication mediums. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can hold others responsible <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">without </i>blaming them and we can use a
respectful, productive approach when doing this. When we hold others responsible, then we are
telling them that we are watching and they cannot exploit us. If we keep quiet,
then we are giving them permission to treat us badly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Assertiveness training can also be helpful if this is a personal challenge. Inaction is also a decision we <i>choose </i>to make. At the end of the day, we teach others how to treat us. If we want to be treated with respect, then we need to treat others with respect no matter what their status, education, class, caste, etc. <i>It's just that simple. </i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">5. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Engage in</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">self-care. </b>This is a MUST! In our Nepali culture, we are trained to take
care of others more than we are trained to take care of ourselves. This is a good thing, but only if we are taking care of ourselves first.
Otherwise, you risk experiencing <i>compassion fatigue</i> which is essentially known better as "burnout." If you have ever flown on an airplane, the flight attendant doing the safety demonstration or video <i>always </i>tells the parent to put on their oxygen mask <i>first</i> and then put it on their child. This happens on every airline whether it be from Singapore, Thailand, America, etc. </span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">In other words, if we are not healthy first, then we are not in the best position to help others, especially our loved ones.</span><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> In the case of Nepal right now, I am very concerned
about this for all of the courageous and compassionate volunteers involved in the rescue, relief, and rebuilding efforts. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The support system with highly skilled mental health professionals needs to be put in place for the volunteers, especially those who are also the earthquake survivors and who are at very high risk such as if they have lost their own homes during the earthquake. Their efforts are to be
commended, but they also need to understand that they have to take time to
recharge their batteries and their support systems have to positively support
them in this way by encouraging self-care practices rather than adding negativity. There is such a thing as a negative support system. Psychological First Aid curriculum states that negative support system should be avoided as much as possible or it can make matters worse. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">6. </span><b style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Pay attention and engage in the nation's politics no matter how frustrating. </b><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">You do not have to be a politician to be engaged in the politics. Nepal's has a very interesting and complex political system with many political parties for such a tiny nation to represent its diverse political and ethnic views. You do not have to follow every issue in the political scene to be politically engaged. You can choose few issues that are close to your heart and pay attention to what the politicians are saying <i>and </i>doing about it. People take advantage of a situation when they think you are <i>not</i> paying attention. It is the bitter truth. So pay close attention to the issues and vote for the ones you agree with, regardless of how your family, friends, and neighbors vote. Pay special attention to people who use flattery and flowery words to hook you in because their intentions may not be pure and can swiftly steer others in the wrong direction. They may be sweet as honey, but you may get stuck in the molasses if you are not paying attention. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">7. <b>Teach ETHICS in grade schools and onward. </b>Corruption is the opposite of ethical behavior. Ethics is a complex subject because what is right and what is wrong is <i>not </i>clear cut though in real life. What is legal and illegal is a black or white thing, but ethics is primarily grey matter. Ethics is a value judgment that cannot be just assumed or expected. It needs to be taught and practiced. </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Understanding and practicing ethical behavior is a process that evolves over time. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> For example, teaching a young child ethical behavior may look something like this. "If someone in front of you dropped their money, and didn't know about it. What would you do?" When I completed my Master's of Science in Clinical Psychology, one of the requirements was that we all had to take comprehensive exams to be deemed competent to practice Psychology. One of the exams was on Ethics. We had to take a semester long course on Professional Ethics in order to pass this exam but more importantly, to practice ethical behavior in the real world. It was the most feared course and exam by the graduate students in my circle of peers. Ethics can get murky, but it can be taught. Without teaching Ethics, it will be quite hard to reduce corruption. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">8. <b>Listen, without judgment...especially to those who differ in opinions. </b> It is impossible to resolve any issue without listening <i>first</i>. Listening to opposing viewpoints is the key. This communicates a lot of things, but mainly it communicates respect and gives you more information in making <i>your </i>own arguments stronger. </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Listening does</span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> </span><i style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">not </i><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">mean we have to do whatever someone asks us to do. Without </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">listening, there can be no understanding. Without understanding, there can be no empathy. Without empathy, there can be no compassion. Compassion for </span><i style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">all </i><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">is what will drive the nation forward. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">9. </span><b style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Say "NO" guilt-free </b><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">The most powerful little word in developing self-empowerment. Saying NO does not have to be mean or disrespectful. Saying NO can be freeing. Saying NO is about understanding the boundaries we all have and need to be respected, which will cultivate empowerment. Saying NO is about setting limits without feeling guilty. Feeling guilty and remorse when you do something wrong is a healthy thing, but when we feel guilty when we are </span><i style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">not </i><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">in the wrong, is unhealthy and can become quite self-destructive. In the Nepalese culture, there is an implicit message that it is <i>not</i> okay to say NO to your elders and authority figures, as a way to communicate respect. This mindset does have benefits, but the risks are also there and they are significant if imbalance occurs. In particular, we do not teach our children how to speak up or be assertive when it is necessary to do so and therefore put ourselves at risk of being vulnerable in the hands of people in power in childhood and beyond. This perpetuates a vicious cycle that undermines self-empowerment and fosters learned helplessness. It is possible to say NO in a positive way without compromising social harmony or "ijat."</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">10. </span><b style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Move from a victim to a survivor mindset. </b><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">At the beginning stage of post earthquakes, it is appropriate for the Nepalese people to view themselves as victims because of the shock, trauma, grief, loss, pain, etc. However, the psychological impact of viewing oneself as a victim can be quite detrimental because when you think you are a victim, you will feel and behave like a victim. Furthermore, others will treat you like a victim who needs to be rescued. There is an invisible, fine line between helping and helping too much (aka rescuing). Too much rescuing can lead to learned helplessness and hopelessness, which can lead to future risk of being victimized again and again because one has not learned the skills to be self-sufficient. This is what the peaceful protestors are demonstrating about. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> The survivor mindset cultivates resiliency and empowerment. Nobody can take that mindset away, no matter how rich and powerful they are. Self-empowerment can only come from the people themselves. </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">Let's be clear that this is</span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> </span><i style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">not</i><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"> promoting anarchy and/or chaos at all, but promoting the need for self-sufficient individuals and systems via self-empowered people. The Nepali people are resilient, talented, and forgiving people who can ask and accept help but at the same time, rebuild for a stronger, self-sufficient Nepal. Never underestimate the power of the Nepali people!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> First and foremost, please accept my deep apologies for not blogging in over two years! What can I say? Life has been hectic. I miss writing as it is very therapeutic for me so I hope to continue it as best as I can. As I reflect on it, I think I have been too consumed with my own life and so disconnected from what has been happening all around. I am back now and I would like to shed light on a very important topic dear to my heart. Do let me know what your thoughts are (favorable or unfavorable)! Here it goes... </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> </i></div>
<span class="oneClick-link"> During a crisis, we experience a stress response, which is also known as "fight or flight." In the past week, there have been two crises deeply affecting me. My home country of Nepal is experiencing devastation of incomprehensible proportion due to a massive earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.8, that hit my beautiful country of birth on April 25, 2015. Over 7,000 lives perished and still counting. Entire villages completely wiped out, centuries old monuments and temples symbolizing our beautiful cultural heritage turned into rubble and debris everywhere. Ever since, there are have been so many aftershocks and the people are being re-traumatized. Two days after Nepal's earthquake, just 20 minutes away, in my home city of Baltimore, an important social justice movement was born. I felt sandwiched between my two homes and it was quite unsettling to the say the least. Emotions were running high and still are. Erratic sleep and eating patterns emerged. Self-care was compromised. That is what happens during a stress response. Our primitive brain gets activated and our sophisticated brain shuts down. Pure instincts, raw emotions surface. </span><span class="oneClick-link">Survival is our main purpose. Logic and reason go out the window. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="oneClick-link"> When survival becomes our primary purpose, then it becomes essential "to know thyself" otherwise things may unfold quite differently than we intended it to. This starts with our emotional self-awareness. Emotions are essential to our survival. Without fear, we could not save ourselves from danger. However, with too much fear, we could become immobile and not save ourselves from danger or mobilize in ways that are harmful to us and become self-sabotaging. It is a balancing act, like many aspects of Life. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="oneClick-link"> One day last week after the earthquake hit Nepal, I was conversing with a <i>very</i> senior (he knew B.F. Skinner) clinical psychologist colleague about religion, philosophy, and mental health. He shared that love and fear are the essential emotions we have to work through. I shared that I felt it was love and anger. Then, he responded that anger is just a mechanism to express fear. I have been thinking about my colleague's comment </span><span class="oneClick-link">all this week as I read the news about Nepal, Baltimore, and other places where crisis is unfolding. People have been saying things and doing things that seem so out of character for them. The rhetoric sound so hurtful and angry, but I know these folks are kind, loving individuals. I know this because I am a seasoned psychotherapist who have worked with a diverse group of people for many years and they are all loving, kind people. I have family and friends who are experiencing what my patients experience and they are loving, kind people. I experience what they experience. We all have one thing in common. We all struggle with our emotions, especially during times of crisis. </span><span class="oneClick-link"><span class="oneClick-link">We are all humans. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="oneClick-link"><span class="oneClick-link"> </span>It is natural to feel a range of emotions. It is human to do so. All emotions are okay. Nobody has any right to tell another how to feel or how <i>not</i> to feel. If they do, understand that it is more about them than about you. However, it is what we do with our emotions that determines our survival when crisis hits. <span class="oneClick-link">Crises have this imminent power to
open up old emotional wounds that may or may not have anything to do
with the crisis itself, and leave us hanging to fend for ourselves. This makes us vulnerable because we are all humans. We are not alone because we are all human.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="oneClick-link"><span class="oneClick-link"> When an external crisis
hits, an internal turmoil gets ignited.</span> In order to prevent an internal, psychological crisis, it is imperative that we all work through our emotions otherwise we say or do things we may regret later. This also helps us to channel them in healthy ways so we are in a better place to listen and understand others for a better tomorrow. We know we are in a better place when we do not feel the need to judge, ridicule, hurt, or </span><span class="oneClick-link"><span class="oneClick-link">"unfriend"</span> others who express different emotions or see the world differently because we understand that this is not a personal attack. It is that they have some work to do when it comes to <i>their</i> emotions. The President, world and faith leaders, </span>doctors, media people, poor people, rich people, people of all shades of color, children, seniors, etc. are all vulnerable because we are all human.<br />
<br />
<span class="oneClick-link"> It is imperative that we work through
our own emotions so we can work towards forgiveness, peace, social justice, and
happiness. Without it, humanity in and of itself is at risk. Wanting it is not enough. We have to work hard at it. Together. </span><span class="oneClick-link">It is the human thing to do. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Finding
a good fit between a therapist and the client can be challenging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, there’s the alphabet soup of PhDs,
PsyDs, MDs, MSs, and MSWs. Then add the following labels to the mix: psychiatrist,
psychologist, marriage and family therapist, family counselor, licensed
clinical professional counselor, and social worker. That alone can create enough anxiety to avoid seeking help! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> It is completely
understandable why finding a good therapist can be daunting. It is true that all
of these therapists are mental health professionals, but they each bring
different training, experience, insights, and character into the therapeutic
relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, every client
brings their own set of experiences, personalities, ideas, etc. into the
dynamic. This is why the therapist and the client have to “click” for a
successful therapeutic relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is true for other doctor-patient relationships as well. Unlike the
typical doctor-patient dynamic, where you can easily switch doctors if you are
dissatisfied; however, with therapists this is not that simple. Sure, the
client always has the right to end the therapeutic relationship at any time,
but since the nature of therapy is very sensitive, it may not always be in the
best interest of the client to abruptly end a therapeutic relationship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why it is very important to find out
some information before entering into therapy aside from the logistical such as
fees and schedules.</span></div>

should be able to tell you this information and explain what their approach in
therapy would be. I will not get into these in details but some of the main
theories therapists work from include cognitive-behavioral, behavioral,
psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, humanistic, and eclectic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist, which basically means that I
believe how we think about our situations impact our behaviors either
negatively or positively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In turn, this affects our mental health. Cognitive-behaviorists also collaborate with their clients in finding
solutions so it is an “active” way of doing therapy. They do not focus too much
in the past, but really figure out how to move forward into a healthier place for the client.
So, if a client wanted to explore their childhood to gain insight about the
present, then a psychodynamic therapist would be a better fit than a
cognitive-behaviorist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Many therapists also have a more
defined approach. I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist who uses positive psychology in my work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This essentially means that I focus on people’s
strengths and build on them to move forward in therapy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For example, I often assign “homework” to clients and the very first
ones involve clients figuring out what their strengths are, especially for
those this may be challenging.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In fact, I just did this with one of new clients the other day. When I asked her what her strengths were, she had a hard time responding. So, her homework was to make a list of her positive qualities or strengths for the next session. The idea behind this is that when we feel good about ourselves, we are more likely prepared to handle the difficulties life presents us with. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span>

expect therapy to be?</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although no therapist can predict how long
therapy will be for a given problem because this is based on so many factors
such as client’s motivation, presenting problem, other complicating conditions, finance, etc. However, therapists can give you an idea of how long they typically work
with clients. This is important information because many people may steer away
from therapy thinking that it will be a long, drawn out process. As a
cognitive-behavioral therapist, I typically have 12 weeks in mind and
depending on the client’s circumstances, it may be shorter or longer, but the
point is that when clients have an idea of an end point, it seems less daunting
and more approachable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally, I
know I would not engage in something of this nature that costs time, money and energy
if there is no end in sight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;"></span></i></span></div>

experience do you have doing therapy?</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Experience is not <i>everything</i> since we know that there are therapists
with many years of experience, but are so out of touch with today’s issues that
this cannot possibly be helpful to the client.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Likewise, there are very good therapists out there with just few years
under their belt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, experience does
have value for the most part and you should have this information to be a
well-informed consumer of therapy. Also, have in your mind how much experience is "enough experience."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;"></span></i></span></div>

with other mental health professionals?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This is
important to know because every therapist cannot treat every problem so it is
imperative to know whether they consult or refer clients to other mental professionals
such as psychiatrists for medications, and other therapists who may have more
knowledge about the client’s condition. If someone gives you this idea that they can solve any problem, then I recommend you seek another therapist!<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red;"></span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There
are many ways to find therapists such as through an insurance directory of
providers or your primary care physician, but the best way is when someone you
know refers a therapist to you. Due to the stigma, you may be embarrassed to
ask people you know, but remember that getting over that fear will be well worth the
outcome!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everyone needs a therapist at
some point in their lives! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Those closest to me can
tell you that I often get on my soapbox and passionately talk about why
everyone needs a therapist! This is not to be pejorative by any means, but to
simply state the fact that our lives have become so complicated by countless
factors, that indeed, everyone can benefit from some kind of therapeutic services
at some point in their lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Times have
changed with everything becoming more global every day with new technology such
as the ever expanding Internet, smartphones, social media, tablets, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and</i> we’re living longer with advanced
technology and medicine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add to this
mix, the dynamics between families, friends, romantic relationships, work,
school, finance, health, politics, crime, safety issues, etc. However, time <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">itself</i> has not changed to reflect the
ever changing world and our lives. We still have just 24 hours in a
day…everywhere in the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
creates an increasingly pressurized situation waiting to explode, if people do
not get the help they need to cope with all of these changes we are facing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many times, reaching out to family and
friends will be enough to cope, but during tougher times, this will not
suffice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is perfectly fine because
everyone’s circumstances are different.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Often, people seek a
mental health professional when they are in a state of crisis. This is
certainly better than not getting help at all, but this is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">reactive</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, these are
the people I first started working with in my early professional career as a
therapist about thirteen years ago. Here, I worked with adults who constantly
operated in crisis mode and had persistent mental health illnesses like
schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, chronic depression, alcohol and drug abuse,
etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I enjoyed my job, loved the people
I worked with, but something did not feel “right.” In the next chapter of my
career, I worked mainly with adolescents and few children who were involved
with the law and were living in detention facilities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, loved my job and the people, but
something was still “missing.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Listening
to these adults and teenagers’ life stories made me realize that their
suffering started long before they had their mental illness or got in trouble
with the law. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Then</i>, I started working
with elementary school-aged children, their families, their teachers, and their
peers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alongside, I had two children of
my own and something felt <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">right</i>!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would wake up in the mornings feeling eager
to get started with the day! Having worked with all of the age groups and
seeing the “circle of life,” it dawned on me that this is the best way I can
provide mental health services that will impact the most number of people.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At this point, I fully understood the old
adage “Prevention is better than cure” and ever since, I have been advocating,
educating, and providing clinical care to children and families, especially
focusing on parenting issues.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s worth sounding like a broken record when I say
that I wholeheartedly believe that a strong, healthy parent-child relationship
is at the core of good mental health, for the family unit and its members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally speaking, most parents want to have
good relationships with their child and vice versa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, there can be a variety of reasons
that get in the way of developing and/or maintaining healthy parent-child
relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reasons may be
financial, cultural, generational, health challenges, and many more, but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all</i> of them impact mental health whether
they are the parent, the child, or both.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I did not completely realize the full impact of the parent-child
relationship on one’s mental health and overall happiness until I had the
opportunity to work with all age groups over the course of my professional
career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One will be surprised to know
how many successful people’s unhappiness stems from their parent-child
relationship problems. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Just recently, I read an article about the megastar Bruce
Springsteen, who has been battling with depression for years and the root of
the problem went back to his childhood and the relationship with his father (<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/bruce-springsteen-battles-depression-suicidal-thoughts-early-80s-cusp-superstardom-article-1.1121264">http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music-arts/bruce-springsteen-battles-depression-suicidal-thoughts-early-80s-cusp-superstardom-article-1.1121264</a>).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I commend The Boss for openly talking about
his depression because it not only helps him clinically, but also helps many more who are
suffering from depression and other mental health issues. When someone of that
caliber talks, it normalizes the situation and people start listening and
seeking help. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lastly, I am ecstatic to
hear that our nation’s leaders have finally recognized the dire need to make
mental health services a priority, especially for our youths. This is a great
step in the right direction as we make the social fabric of our nation
stronger! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> This week I had
an epiphany. As I was having a conversation with an educated friend about the
Sandy Hook shooting, she asked me if anger was a mental health issue. My
immediate reaction was “Of course!” and then I went on a long explanation about
how anger is a major mental health concern that can lead to serious, dangerous situations. She then said something along the
lines of “But I thought Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Depression, etc.” are mental
health.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I stopped in my tracks because I
realized in that moment that this is what many people must be thinking when we
refer to “mental health.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The distinct,
clinical diagnoses found in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM), the Bible
of mental health disorders must pop into people’s mind whenever talks about
mental health arise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I have been a mental health professional for about thirteen years now and was trained in the No. 1 ranked hospital in the United States: The Johns Hopkins Hospital. It hit me that for years I have been asking the wrong questions, always bewildered why our society does not value mental health. </span>Then, I began to
wonder. Did my friend just answer <i>my </i>question of why there is so much stigma attached to mental health? Is
it just people's lack of understanding, which go beyond their fear of being labeled “crazy”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">This conversation with my friend inspired me to write this post. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On a side
note, I plead to my family and friends <i>not</i> to use the word “crazy” when referring
to people with mental health issues because this is just <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> true and only perpetuates this vicious cycle of
stigmatization. Then, people shy away from getting help until it becomes
so severe or <i>never</i> at all. People with mental health issues are regular people who have been strong for too long and now need some support to get them through some hard times, as we are <i>all</i> faced in life. Also, think of mental health in this way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Mental health is
in a continuum and involves anything having to do with our social-emotional
well-being. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anywhere from what kind of relationships
we form with others to the very mentally ill such as those with schizophrenia
and bipolar disorder, which have genetic components. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is our social-emotional health, and this
range is vast and to understand it fully, one has to consider the entire person.
It is very individual-specific so making such generalizations as “All people
with X condition will do Y behavior” is dangerous territory and again, perpetuates social stigma. Having said that, it
may be helpful to think of mental health in these terms.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now, close your
eyes and imagine a horizontal line with three sections (the left, middle, and
the right).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me just put a disclaimer
out there that is in no way a metaphor for our political system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is just the best way I can describe
mental health. So, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Left</i> section
is the “healthy” part where people sometimes have uncomfortable emotions such
as feeling sad, anxious, fear, anger, etc. They may also have some “issues”
with people. However, by and large these people tend to have good coping skills
to handle such social-emotional difficulties and carry on their normal routines
with no major difficulties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The folks in the
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Middle </i>section have more difficulty
than the people in the left in terms of getting what they need to do in their
lives such as going to work, school, home life, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They may feel more sadness, anger, fear,
sleep is affected, crying more often, turning to other means such as alcohol to
feel better, having passing thoughts about suicide or homicide, and/or experiencing other
uncomfortable emotions. Their relationships with their loved ones may be changing in a
negative way. Grades or work performance may be slipping, but they still manage
to get up most mornings and continue on with their routines. However, the
quality of their behaviors and relationships with others has changed now even
though they are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">managing</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reasons (e.g. triggers) for these changes
vary from individual to individual and so do the reactions (e.g. coping style).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For instance, losing a job maybe a stressor
for some while it may be a blessing to others depending on each person’s
situation and mental health. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Now, consider
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Right </i>section, which is the “unhealthy” part where people are struggling to go on their daily routines such as work,
school, and home life. Their social-emotional <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">difficulties are
disabling them to the point where they cannot function at all or doing so in
destructive ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are people who
have the mental health diagnoses, but also those <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">undiagnosed </i>because they are not seeking the support they need
(e.g. many people from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Middle</i>
section can quickly end up here).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, please understand
that if these folks get the mental health services they need such as counseling
or therapy and/or psychotropic medications, then they can very much function as
people in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Left </i>or some higher-functioning people in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Middle. </i>Therefore,
mental health has to be seen as being on a continuum rather than in discreet compartments.</span> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> There are many types of mental health professionals who can help. Some include: psychiatrists (medical doctors who can prescribe medicines), psychologists (generally these people have doctoral degrees who can do therapy and psychological testing, but not prescribe medicines), and counselors or therapists who can have educational backgrounds (at least Master's level) in social work, psychology, and/or counseling who can do therapy, but may or may not be able to do psychological testing depending on their training. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Life can be
beautiful, but it can get quite tough at times. During such times, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everyone</i> can use a therapist or
counselor to help them. After all, we are all humans and as humans, there is
only so much we can take at one time. My belief is that many people <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">want </i>to seek mental health services, but
fear that the stigma attached to it will hinder them somehow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ironically, I have observed that people who
openly talk about “seeing their therapist” seem to be those who are most at
peace with themselves and better equipped to navigate Life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We are deeply
saddened beyond words about the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Newtown, CT.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the beautiful children and wonderful adult
victims and to their loved ones. The Basnyats have
been grieving ever since we learned about this horrific incident on Friday morning and the emotions are raw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Immediately after hearing this saddest news,
I emailed our 7 year old son’s school administrator requesting that they send
information to all parents on how to talk to their children before the weekend.
Shortly afterwards, the school Superintendent sent a mass email providing
guidance on this. </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> As a mental
health therapist, I understand the importance of having this important
conversation with our children. However, understandably many have strong
feelings against having such conversations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some believe it will only instill unnecessary fear as my husband felt while
others feel it is unnecessary altogether, as we did for our 3 year old hard of
hearing child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, many want to have
this conversation, but simply do not know how to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This post is not to sway the parent one way
or another, but to simply share how we talked with our son about it after
giving it serious thought on Friday.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We decided to
tell him after coming to the conclusion that he will hear about it one way or
another in the coming days. For example, just on Thursday, he was sharing with
us that one of the older boys on his school bus was telling him that the world
would be ending on December 21<sup>st</sup>. Reportedly, our son told the boy
with conviction that this was untrue and impossible. Later at home, he said
that he was 99% sure that this would not happen, but there is a 1% chance that
some kind of massive bomb can make it happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Additionally, just a few months back he heard about Joseph Kony (again
on the bus), which fueled some anxiety in him. We listened to him, empathized, and
comforted him as best as we could.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
the end of the day, that is all that any parent can do. This talk need not be
perfect nor should the parent feel like they have to have all of the answers to
their child’s questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ours certainly
was not perfect, but it got the job done. Here is how it transpired.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> After attuning
to our own emotions all day Friday, and shielding him from any television or
Internet, we decided to have the talk on Saturday morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt this would give our son time to
process and ask any questions he may have before going to school on Monday and
presumably hearing it there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other
words, I did not want to have this talk before bedtime on Sunday. We distracted
our 3 year old daughter with Dora the Explorer and with hearts pounding sat our
son down in another room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a brief conversation,
but covered all of the basics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Me: “Yesterday, something
very terrible and sad happened where someone shot people in a school and several people
died. This is not something that happens often, so people will be talking about
it everywhere like at your school, tv, and the Internet. This is why we were
extra careful about you not using the Internet and watching the tv yesterday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We do not want you to worry or be scared, but
it is okay if you are. How do you feel about all of this?”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> I would like to
add that we <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never </i>watch news in front
of the children and actually manage our own information intake so shielding him
from this type of exposure was not an issue, but felt the talk need to be had. The
goal of this conversation was to set up an open communication path and take a
proactive approach in reducing worry and anxiety, which I felt was appropriate
in this case.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, when he is scheduled
to get a shot at the doctor’s, he doesn’t get much advanced notice because this
only increases anxiety in my kid. The funny thing about fear/worry/anxiety is that
too little or too much information can ignite and fuel it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Every parent knows
their child the best, so they have to do what feels comfortable and appropriate
to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope this was helpful to
those needing some guidance as this is a tough issue to tackle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I encourage everyone affected by this to first reach out to your family and friends to offer and seek support. </span>If this does not help, and if you or your child is experiencing extreme
anxiety or depression, then it would be worthwhile to seek a mental health
professional.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like I always say, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everyone </i>needs a therapist at some point

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Yoga is
everywhere these days! When someone says “yoga,” images of various postures
like the tree, downward dog, lotus, child poses pop up in our minds right?
Well, according to an interview I had with two yoga instructors of SoilSound (http://www.soilsound.com),
Valencia Wood and Joseph Murray, yoga is more than postures. Valencia and
Joseph not only explained the history of yoga, but also how it can help in
parenting!</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> For</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> more than 5,000 years, yoga has
been practiced by many and currently, approximately 11 million Americans are
enjoying its health benefits.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Yoga started as a meditation practice and now in
the Western world, it has become more posture-focused. Valencia and Joseph practice </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nāda yoga, which has its roots in India, and is based on the premise that all
things that exist in the universe are interconnected and consists of sound
vibrations, called </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">nāda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It essentially uses
sound and vibrations, as in music, to engage in mindfulness as well as in various
poses to reap the health benefits ranging from relaxation to weight and
cholesterol control.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Both Joseph and
Valencia shared their personal stories of how yoga helped them in adjusting to
life’s challenges. For Joseph, yoga played a major role in battling a malignant
cancer of the kidneys called Wilms tumor, which involved him getting a grueling
7 months of chemotherapy and radiation treatment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Valencia turned to yoga when she lost her
mother and sister in 2000 and 2008, respectively. The emotional difficulties of
losing her loved ones impacted her negatively and with time came to realize “I’ve
got to do something!” She stated that yoga not only helped her cope with her
losses, but also gain perspective, tolerance, and patience with people who she
would have previously considered to be “rude.” Today, both Joseph and Valencia are
healthy people who radiate with positive energy! They are working hard to
promote yoga in our daily lives, especially for folks living in urban areas
where fast pace is the rule rather than the exception. When you are around these
two, one cannot help but want to give them big hugs!</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> After discussing
the many health benefits, we also talked about how yoga can help in parenting. My
favorite topic of course! Joseph has three teenage kids so he had lots to say! To
sum it up, he feels yoga helps the parents in mindfulness, guides them when
disciplining, promote patience and empathy in the parent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This reminded of many instances when
therapists teach calming techniques to children when they are angry. Children
are often instructed to count to ten to help them calm down during an anger
outburst. Therapy and yoga have many things in common and this is an example of
how mindfulness can be utilized to get the child to focus on something else that
reduces the stress or anger. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A simple,
but very powerful strategy indeed! </span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Of course, above
all we know that our children learn from watching their parents so yoga will
ultimately help the kids learn effective coping strategies when they witness
their parents use it! In fact, for this reason alone I signed up my 7 year old
son for a summer camp that included yoga taught by Valencia and Joseph. Later,
we both signed up for their family yoga sessions along with another friend of
mine with her son.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really wanted my
son to learn how to relax and be mindful rather than being constantly
stimulated, which I know can create much stress later in life. Undoubtedly, this
will be an interesting process for a 7 year old as well as rich learning
experience! Namaste!</span></div>

Basnyat, LCPC) <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /><i>A Cultural Difference</i><br /> Every culture has a certain way of doing things when it comes to parenting a child. It is neither right nor wrong. It is neither superior nor inferior. It is just <i>different</i>. As a Nepalese-American who has been living in the States for nearly 30 years and some stays abroad, a parent of two kids with special needs, and a licensed clinical professional counselor, I am inexplicably intrigued by the differences that exist across cultures. This is true especially when it comes to parenting. From my personal and professional experiences, the starkest difference I observe between the East and the West is how South Asian parents use social comparison as a parenting technique to motivate their child to “succeed.” Usually, success is very much achievement oriented whether it be in academics, careers, or extracurricular activities like playing the violin or piano. <br />
<br /> This cultural difference could not be more obvious than in Amy Chua’s 2011 book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother when she constantly compares her younger daughter, Lulu, to her older daughter, Sophia, in her Chinese parenting as a motivational strategy. Sure, social comparison occurs in every culture, but from my experiences, it is most prevalent in South Asian (SA) households where academic achievement tends to be the driving force. Simply “doing your best” is not good enough. “Being the best” is the ultimate goal. This drive for competition does not come from a bad place. <br />
<br /> I applaud parents who want their children to do well and have instilled great values in them. However, the problem with social comparison is that everyone cannot be number one! There will always be someone who is better off than you and someone who is worse off than you. It is a life lesson that parents need to teach their children in a thoughtful and gentle way. Otherwise, it will be a risky strategy. Besides, children will sooner or later learn this life lesson. South Asian parents need to teach this valuable lesson to their children or it may be a painful one later on. Collectively, South Asians tend to be very protective when it comes to their children so they are well-equipped to teach this important life lesson. However, it is still worthwhile to quickly review the process involved in social comparison. <br />
<br /><i>Social Comparison Theory </i><br /> According to Leon Festinger, who coined the term “social comparison” in 1954, stated that people naturally tend to evaluate themselves, including their opinions and desires, by comparing themselves to others. The process includes two types of social comparison: upward and downward. Upward social comparison occurs when someone compares themselves to another person who is “better off” (intellectually, financially, physically, etc.) in an effort to be part of the elite and have a more positive view of themselves. <br /><br /> In contrast, downward social comparison is when you compare yourself to someone who is “worse off” than you to make yourself feel happier. For example, a diabetic patient who only needs medication for treatment may see himself better off than another diabetic patient who has lost vision due to diabetes. The result of this downward social comparison makes one feel better. This process seems pretty natural and harmless right? <br />
<i><br />Tiger Mother and Social Comparison</i><br /> Now consider this. In Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Sophia is presented as a calm, collected and compliant elder daughter. She performs well academically, listens to her parents, and plays the piano exceptionally. Sophia is the perfect child that every South Asian parent dreams of. Lulu, on the other hand, is spunky, challenges authority figures, and is an independent thinker from the get-go. She is also a bright and talented person in her own rights as a violinist and later as a tennis player although her academic performance is unclear. What is clear throughout this story is Lulu’s rebellious nature. <br />
<br />
One cannot forget the very first example of extreme parenting when tiger mom puts her three year old out in the freezing cold to teach her a lesson that you need to respect and listen to your parent. We learn that Lulu does not give in, even on the wintry cold day with only her house clothes on. Therefore, it is no wonder that Lulu puts up a fight every time Amy compares her to Sophia or whenever Amy tries to motivate her to play the piano or violin. The tiger mother’s use of social comparison in her parenting suggests three areas of human dynamics that are negatively impacted.<br />
<i><br />The Impact on Human Interaction</i><br /> First, a South Asian parent who heavily relies on social comparison should consider the negative impact it will have on the relationship between siblings and/or peers. A psychologically-minded reader must wonder if Lulu has some kind of resentment towards her sister. Or, does Sophia have a sense of superiority since she is being presented as the “good kid.” <br />
<br /> I can relate to this because growing up in a Nepali household and surrounded by other Nepalese, I was constantly compared with other Nepali friends and/or relatives and vice versa. With Nepali adults, whether it be our own parents or other kids’ parents, social comparison is a common practice. From what I gather, this is also true in other South Asian communities. Essentially, they are pitting us against each other. The competition was fierce. It still is. <br />
<br /> All I knew then was that it did not feel good to be compared to others regardless of whether it favored me or not. Therefore, I have vowed <i>not</i> to socially compare my kids in that detrimental manner. From anecdotal experiences, my peers who are now adults or parents themselves, also feel the same way I do. This made me wonder: how many good relationships were lost or never formed due to parents socially comparing us? We will never know because you cannot turn back the clock. <br />
<br /> Second, social comparison negatively impacts the parent-child relationship. Emotional connectedness between the parent and child is stifled. Remember the scene at GUM café in Russia when Lulu shouts painful words every parent wishes they never, ever hear from their child? “I HATE my life. I HATE you, and I HATE this family!” Amy tries to reconnect with Lulu by having special events like the garage sale, which both enjoy, but does <i>not</i> fix the emotional breakage between the tiger mother and her cub.<br />
<br /> Lastly, social comparison is just not effective. It fosters rebellion, especially if you are parenting in the West. This is mainly so because self-identity is an important part of we are as individuals in the Western culture and when South Asian parents engage in social comparison, this challenges that belief system. The child feels threatened and rebels to assert their individualism. All of the time, effort, and money Amy put into training Lulu for the violin went to waste. Lulu essentially rejected the violin and chose tennis. One is left to wonder had the tiger mother not used such extreme social comparisons, would Lulu have continued with the violin and achieved even higher standings than Carnegie Hall? We will never know because she decided to pursue tennis instead. <br />
<br /> In conclusion, South Asian parents who engage in social comparison as a way to motivate their children to do better are compromising a number of social-emotional issues that are critical to a child’s healthy development. As a South Asian parent of two and a licensed mental health professional who has worked with many children and families, I highly discourage social comparison as a parenting strategy. If you are not convinced, then please consider how it might feel if your child compares <i>you</i> to their friends’ parents in hopes that <i>you </i>become a better parent. The risks simply outweigh the benefits when it comes to your child’s well-being. There are far better parenting strategies than social comparison to motivate your child!<br />
<br /><i>7 Tips to Resist the Urge to Make Social Comparison</i>:<br />1. <b>Gain awareness about your habit to socially compare your child to others</b>. Awareness is the first step in solving any problem. Does it usually happen when talking about academics, extracurricular activities, personality traits, etc.? This will help the South Asian parent to acknowledge and change their negative behavior.<br />2. <b>Ask your child how it feels when you engage in social comparison</b>. This will open up communication pathways and facilitate a close parent-child relationship.<br />3. <b>Adjust your expectations of your child according to his or her abilities and wishes</b>. Many South Asian parents love and want what is best for their children, but this may not always be what your child feels is best for themselves. Compromise when appropriate. <br />4. <b> Respect your child</b>. In Eastern cultures, respect is a one-way street whereas in the West, it goes both ways. A bridge between the two cultures will be necessary if South Asian parents are raising children in the Western world otherwise it will be a long battle.<br />5. <b>Communicate with words and actions that you unconditionally love your child</b>. When children are socially compared to their peers, they tend to feel that parents do not love them for who they are, when in actuality this is not true. South Asian parents love their children unconditionally like any other parent, but emotional connectedness in a parent-child relationship tends to be the exception rather than the rule. <br />6. <b>Praise your child</b>. All children crave positive attention, especially from their parents. From my clinical observations, South Asian parents tend to refrain from praising their child in fear that their good performance or behavior will go down. Opposite is true. However, be genuine when praising. <br />7. <b>Go easy on yourself</b>. Often, when people are highly critical of others, they also tend to be highly critical of themselves. South Asian parents tend to put extreme burden on themselves to know all of the answers all of the times when it comes to their children. This extreme pressure is unhealthy and counterproductive. Everyone makes mistakes, even the best of parents!<br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /></div>

(By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
For many, the first week of school is coming to an end and this means many parents are probably wondering about the H word: <i>homework</i>. Some parents are hoping there will <i>not</i> be too much homework for various reasons while others are saying “Bring it on!” In terms of research, the jury is still out. There are staunch supporters on both sides. For me, however, I <i>was</i> on the fence but now I say “More homework, please!” So, why the switch? <br /><br /> Well, I had an epiphany this summer. Last year, my son’s Math teacher gave him a little booklet called “The Math Whiz” and you are supposed to play a magic game with it. It is basically six pages stapled together with numbers written all over on five of them. The game goes like this: He would ask someone to pick a number on the first page and told them to keep it a secret. Then, he would turn each page and ask if the secret number was on that page until he got to the last page. Meanwhile he is doing some kind of computation in his head and magically arrives at your secret number! He would repeatedly play this game with our family and friends. He was completely indulged by their reactions. “Wow, how did you do that?!” or “You are <i>so</i> smart!” He would flash a big smile, and <i>not</i> reveal the magic, but instead told you to pick another secret number. There begins another round of the game. Well, just a few days ago while we were cleaning his homework area, he came across The Math Whiz! Of course, he wanted to play the game again. Guess what happened this time? <br /><br /> Yes, you got it! My math whiz struggled with the game. Although he arrived at the correct answer, he kept getting confused when doing the mental computations. Of course, this was a great teachable moment and I certainly seized it by letting him know that we easily forget what we learn if we do<i> not </i>practice it regularly. You can look at any dementia or Alzheimer's research and find this conclusive evidence. It also helped that my husband chimed in at this point. I will not chant “Practice makes perfect” because I feel this is <i>not</i> a realistic goal parents ought to be promoting and given my child’s personality, this will only provoke anxiety in him and negatively impact his academic performance. However, I will happily say “Practice makes you sharper!” and that alone is enough for me to chant “More homework, please!” <br /><br /> Of course, there are other bonuses too: when doing their homework, they are away from the tv, computer, and video games. Moreover, they cannot get into mischief or trouble if they are busy doing their homework. Also, homework is a concrete way to beautifully connect the school to home life, which research conclusively states is key in a child’s academic achievement. As always, parents are the most important role models for their kids so below are ten strategies to use when encouraging good homework habits. <br /> <br /><i>10 Strategies for Homework Help</i><br /> <br />1. Model a positive attitude about homework and education, in general.<br />2. Have a designated homework area with minimal distractions and good lighting. <br />3. Make sure materials/supplies are readily available.<br />4. Give your child a healthy snack before starting homework. <br />5. Use planners or agenda books to help organize their materials and time for homework. <br />6. Encourage your child to do the easier assignments first so a feeling of accomplishment is experienced rather than frustration with harder homework. Some education experts advocate for the reverse order so the child is not exhausted and frustrated by the time they get to the more difficult homework. Ideally, if you have multiple assignments, you can do the easy-hard-easy order. You be the judge of which order works best for your child.<br />7. Be available and look for opportunities to praise your child.<br />8. Engage in “homework-like” activities such as reading a book or balancing a checkbook/online accounts while your child does homework.<br />9. If your child needs help, provide guidance rather than giving your child the answers.<br />10. Give your child breaks if necessary, especially when frustrated. If your child regularly gets frustrated then consult with his teacher about any potential, academic difficulties. <br />

<br /> Many students across the United States will start their new school year next week. It is a time of full of excitement to meet new teachers, make new friends, and learn new things! While this may also be true for parents with children who have special needs, but it is also intertwined with feelings of fear and anxiety about what the new school year will bring for their children. This is doubly true for me since I now have <i>two </i>children with special needs.<br /><br /> My regular, blog readers know that I have a three year old daughter who was born a micro preemie with many health complications. She is also hard of hearing and has been wearing hearing aids since she was one year old. Well now, my seven years old son was diagnosed as being deaf in his left ear over the summer. Advocating is not a new thing for us. However, advocating for a second grader looks quite different than for a toddler. <br /><br /> One or more accommodations in the classroom will be necessary for children with special needs. An example may be of what educators call “preferential seating,” which my son will undoubtedly need in the classroom. This is not a big deal for my toddler daughter because the class sizes are smaller and more staff is available in the classroom to assist with whatever is necessary. However, preferential seating will be a challenge to implement for my son. On paper, preferential seating seems like an easy accommodation to make after you figure out the location of the seating (left front for my son). Practically, this is much harder to implement and this is why: a dynamic and effective teacher is constantly moving around the classroom!<br /><br /> Advocating for the accommodations and making sure they will be implemented will be challenging, but the most significant difference when advocating for a toddler versus a school-age child is the support system that is available. With the very young, there is a team of professionals who are working with you in your home, school, and in the community to guide you along your child’s development. For our daughter, this meant we had the support and expertise of the speech and language therapists, special education teachers, ASL teachers,occupational therapists, physical therapists, audiologists, just to name a few. Once they reach school-age, the parent is pretty much on their own to get the advocacy ball rolling and staying afloat along the way. The parent has to be the driving force and the child’s strongest advocate. There will be high points and there will be low points along this journey. Below are strategies to keep in mind when advocating for your child with special needs. I will use my son’s hearing problem as an example to illustrate the points.<br /><br /><i>7 Strategies When Advocating for Your Child</i><br /><br />1.<i><b> Take referrals seriously</b></i>. There are a number of ways a concern about your child’s development can be raised. For our son, he was the one who initially raised the issue and soon after he failed his hearing screen at school. The school nurse sent a referral note and we immediately contacted the appropriate professionals. We could have easily ignored the note and gone about our business, especially considering that he had been doing extremely well academically. Instead, we took the referral seriously. <br /><br />2.<b><i> Identify the special needs</i></b>. Once a referral is made, there will be a series of tests or evaluations that <i>need</i> to take place in order to properly diagnose a special need. The nurse sending a referral note that he failed the hearing screen for his left ear is not enough. I say this because the identification process is time consuming, tiring, and frustrating. It will become so easy to give up and not follow-through with subsequent recommendations. You might even have to seek second opinions if things do not sound right to you. Without completing this identification process, you cannot move forward in the advocacy.<br />
<br />3.<i><b> Gather pertinent documents</b></i>. As a trained clinician, we have this mantra we follow that says “if it’s not written, it didn’t happen.” Make a file for your child’s medical record of all the referrals, test results, and recommendations. If possible, have electronic copies of them which will come in handy later on in the advocacy process. Organizational skills will come in handy at this point.<br /><br />4. <b><i>Contact the school principal in writing.</i></b> After you’ve gathered all of the pertinent information from the professionals, you are now ready to contact the principal. The correspondence should be in writing and you should include the medical documentation (this is why the electronic copy becomes convenient). This will speed up the process and you will have a "paper" trail to refer back to. <br /><br />Also, keep in mind that timing is important. This is just my opinion, but I do feel that sometimes contacting the principal too early may not necessarily work in your favor. For example, if you contact the school too early, let’s say early in the summer, you might not get the response you want right away. Moreover, if the timing is off you might actually risk getting the attention you deserve. In other words, sometimes “the early bird does not always get the worm.” For my son, I had all of the documents ready about a month ago, but it did not feel like the right time to contact the principal then. Even though my super-organized, early bird husband insisted I do.<br />
<br />
This week was back to school for staff so I figured this is a good time to shoot an email to the principal. Sure enough, in less than an hour the assistant principal calls me to address of my concerns and schedule a meeting to discuss what kind of accommodations would be warranted for our son. Of course I did not gloat about this to my husband! <br /><br />5. <i><b>Be prepared for the meeting with the school.</b></i> Make sure you and your partner discuss the talking points in advance and write them down. Those meetings can easily get sidetracked and become emotionally charged so it is crucial you have a visual reminder to keep you on track. You want to be able to identify the special need and ask for concrete accommodations. Advance research will be key. Also, take at least two copies of the documents you emailed earlier for convenience, just in case they do not have them at hand. <br /><br />6. <i><b>Advocacy does not have to be adversarial</b></i>. Really, you can effectively advocate for your child without having to get into an emotionally charged battle! Keep in mind that the teachers and the staff also want what is best for your child. If you are not convinced then consider how the school would look in terms of reputation if their students do <i>not</i> perform well. Working <i>within</i> the system is a much better and effective approach than working <i>against</i> them. This will create a much better working relationship with the school and at the end of the day will benefit your child. However, again worth mentioning that, we as the parents, have to be the best and strongest advocates for our kids.<br /><br />7. <b><i>Teach your child self-advocacy. </i></b> We have talked with our son about self-advocacy and what that means. However, we also explain to him whenever we advocate for him so he can learn from our examples <i>not</i> only to self-advocate, but also to be proud of whom he is no matter what challenges he may encounter. The look on his face was priceless when I told him that his assistant principal had called!<br /></div>

(By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /> In the Basnyat household, whether to push or to foster our children’s development is a constant topic of discussion. My husband, who has an interesting background of spending a good chunk of his formative years in the United States (former diplomat’s kid) but also spent much of his childhood in Nepal, and then came to the US for college. He decided to hang out here ever since, get married and raise a family. The whole nine yards! He plays for the Push Team.<br /> <br /> I, as a Nepali-American who primarily grew up in America and not to mention with an extensive Psychology background, am playing for the Foster Team. We both want our children to do well academically, have good social relationships, and lead healthy and happy lives. However, by no means am a <i>Tiger Mom</i> and he a <i>Wolf Dad</i>. Physical punishment and scolding are out of the question for us, but praise is a favorite strategy. We truly want to take the Best of Both Worlds Approach (BBWA) in our parenting. To the best of my knowledge, this is not an actual theoretical paradigm, but this is how we describe our multicultural parenting style.<br /><br /> The BBWA is also the reason why we have this parenting dilemma. Had we simply chosen one path (Eastern or Western) to parenting, we would not have to debate so much. Given our personalities, ambitions, and professional backgrounds, there is no end in sight for these debates. Every time he says something to the effect of “we have to push the kids to reach their potential” I quickly offer a myriad of word choices like foster, cultivate, support, encourage, etc. to replace “push.” This is how our discussion may sound like.<br /><br /><i>The Academics</i><br />
<br /><b>Husband</b>: “I think it is important for him to do practice work (Math, Reading, etc.) outside of his homework. The kid is really smart and we need to push his limits to see how far he can go.”<br /><br /><b>Me</b>: “Yes, he is smart and I also want him to excel, but I don’t feel pushing is the best way to accomplish this. He is so young and at this point, learning should be fun and enjoyable so he would want to do it more rather than get frustrated and avoid it.” Sometimes, I may pull one of these stunts. “At this developmental stage, it should be about the <i>process </i>of learning not so much the <i>product</i>.” I mean, really, who could argue with a point like that?<br /><br /><i>The Sport</i><br />
<br /><b>Me</b>: “I am really concerned about the time he is spending in soccer. He seems too tired to do his homework or get any down time.”<br />
<br /><b>Husband</b>: “He loves playing soccer and he needs all the practice he can get to be better at it. He has so much potential.”<br />
<br /><b>Me</b>: “He <i>does</i> love to play and he<i> is</i> good at it. How about we stick to one sport at a time so it’s not too much for him or for us?” My husband agrees. It does not always work this way. <br /><br /><i>The Musical Instrument</i><br />
<br /><b>Husband</b>: “Shouldn’t he be playing an instrument like a violin or clarinet by now? You used to play the violin.”<br />
<br /><b>Me</b>: “They start in third or fourth grade. He’s only in the first. I started in the third grade and there was too much pressure so I gave it up in junior high. I really don’t think that kind of pressure is good for him.”<br />
<br /><b>Son</b>: “I don’t want to play anything I have to blow, it’s too hard (he's asthmatic). I want to play the violin or the drums.”<br />
<br /><b>Husband and Me:</b> “No drums! Maybe a violin or guitar, we’ll see.” To be continued...<br />
<br /> So, you can see from above how the Push vs. Foster discussion may transpire in a parenting conversation. I feel we do not have to “push” our kids into anything and thereby run a high risk of this <i>pushing </i>backfiring on us. If you are skeptical, try this experiment at home: have your significant other stand in front of you and you push him or her from the back. What happens? Although Physics was never a strong suit of mine, but I believe this is called <i>Resistance</i>. In Psychology, we call it <i>Rebellion</i>. This usually is <i>not</i> a pretty phase and I will use<i> all </i>the strategies in my parenting toolbox to avoid this parent-child dynamic. <br />

As a parent of having two premature babies, one born at 31 weeks and the other at 25 weeks (micro preemie actually), I am no stranger to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Our first born had to be delivered early due to pregnancy complications (preeclampsia) and spent about six weeks there seven years ago in 2005. Shortly after we arrived in Sydney, Australia in 2009 I experienced another complicated pregnancy (again, preeclampsia) and our daughter had to be delivered early on Easter Day. She spent 5 months in the NICU and endured five major surgeries during that time. At day four of her NICU stay, the doctors had lost hope that she would make it and we were encouraged to call our local priest to do last rite rituals.<br /> <br /> Having been in Sydney just for two months, we had not even visited a Hindu temple, let alone had a family priest. The hospital staff called one from their directory and this kind, gentle, Hindu priest drove an hour from his home in the middle of the night to perform these last rite rituals for our daughter. He told us that she WILL be okay with such confidence that I had to believe him. He was so right and after some time, we visited him at his temple to express our gratitude personally. He was so delighted!<br />
<br /> Spiritually, I take a very eclectic approach and draw from many faiths. Hence, I truly believe that the words and actions of this Hindu priest coupled with her Easter birthday played a major role in our micro preemie’s survival. However, I also believe that both my husband and I must have some sort of inner resilience to cope with such dire circumstances. Other people’s reactions to how we managed confirmed this hunch. Thought I share some of the strategies we used in hopes that this will resonate with many parents who are going through these difficult circumstances right now.<br /><br /><i>5 Issues and Strategies in Preemie Parenting</i><br />1. <i>The Hope</i>. From moments before and after the preemie is born, doctors of every specialty in existence in the medical field will come and talk to you about the risks associated with having this baby. Please understand that this does <i>not</i> come from a bad place and is <i>not</i> meant to instill fear in you, even though it does. It is intended for the parents to consider all possible outcomes when making their decisions. And these will be HARD decisions to make! Parents will be required to make decisions anywhere ranging from the side effects of medications to whether you want your baby resuscitated or not. I know, this latter one came as a huge surprise to us in our daughter’s case. I suggest that you just listen to what the physicians have to say and ask as many questions as you like and as many times as you like. If you don’t understand the answer, ask the question in a different way. Even if you are heavily drugged out. Try to stay focused and of course have your partner there too so you don’t miss anything. <br /><br />Before my daughter’s birth, one of the first doctors was a neonatologist who was doing some research on preemie and their breathing. She shared a very long list of things that could go wrong with our baby. The outcomes ranged from attention problems to brain damage and cerebral palsy. Did I mention that I was heavily drugged out at the time? I must have asked many good questions because I remember her saying something like “wow, you are asking very good questions even though we have injected you with every possible drug at our disposal.” Few days later when I was more lucid, I met her again in the NICU, but I couldn’t remember her face. At this time, she reminded me again how surprised she was with my “good questions.” The take home message is to listen, ask questions, but DO NOT ever lose <i>Hope</i>. For those skeptics who talk about “false hope” to which I say: “There is no such thing as false hope. You either have hope or you don’t. You CHOOSE.”<br /><br /><br />2. <i>The Milk Supply</i>. After you hear all the bad things that could happen to your baby from the doctors, the lactation consultants start rolling in to share how breastfeeding will make things better for the baby. It is well known fact that breastfeeding is good for the baby, especially for preemies. In particular, the colostrum, which is the first drops of yellowish milk when the mother starts expressing, is the most beneficial for the preemie. The colostrum has many ingredients such as vitamins and proteins that serve as antibodies to diseases. As a result, mothers of a preemie baby tend to put extreme pressure on themselves to produce the milk. And there begins the vicious cycle. <br /><br />The mother’s milk supply becomes suppressed because of the extreme distress due to the circumstances and the baby may not be able to suck to stimulate the milk supply. There are many herbal remedies, such as fenugreek, to stimulate milk production. Talking with a lactation consultant is a good starting point if your milk production is low. Despite all of your loving efforts and hard work, your baby many not be able to tolerate your milk. Although many believe a baby cannot be “allergic” to the mother’s milk, but who is to say that the baby could not tolerate due to the interactions of all the medications being pumped into that little, fragile body? This happened to our daughter. Thankfully, she was able to take in all of the colostrum, but as time went on with surgeries and medicines being given, she could no longer tolerate my milk and had to start her on formula. All of which was done through a feeding tube. As a mother who is a huge believer in breastfeeding, this was devastating to hear. It felt like all of my hard work pumping at home day and night while my baby was in the NICU and pumping at the hospital went to waste. <br /><br />Eventually, I had to come to terms with the fact that this was out of my control and luckily she was able to get at least the colostrum. In Australia, if my memory serves me right (was under the influence of a cocktail of medications) you can donate your milk to babies who are unable to get their mother’s milk for various reasons. This is did help me feel better. <br /><br />3. <i>The Emotional Roller Coaster.</i> It <i>will</i> be an emotional roller coaster. You may visit your baby in the morning and everything seems fine, but when you make the evening visit, you may be hearing that your baby may need some kind of surgery. This happened numerous times for us. Our daughter’s five months NICU stay included five major surgeries where sometimes she had to be transferred to another hospital for the procedures. This is a very scary thing to go through. When your baby is that tiny and vulnerable, the parents will be an emotional mess. What worked for us was to have a mindset that anything is possible so just to take it one day at a time and deal with whatever may come our way little by little. <br /><br />4. <i>The Good Enough Mother</i>. The second person who will be most affected when a preemie baby is in the NICU is naturally the mother. I will never forget when the lactation consultant asked me if I knew about “The Good Enough Mother” concept. I said No, but I sure knew about “The Supermom,” and “The Perfect Mother” notions. She gently told me that I need to adopt this new way of thinking about motherhood. Knowing from my pre-move research that Australians have a good reputation for knowing how to be “happy” or “satisfied” with their lives, I decided to heed this advice. In all honesty, this did take some time to fully understand and practice, but this way of thinking really alleviated the stress and reduced the guilt thousand fold. This of course, fits well with cognitive-behavioral theories on anxiety. The more pressure you put on yourself, the more likely it will be counterproductive. I am a better and happier mom because of “The Good Enough Mother” guiding principle. <br /><br />5. <i>The Social Isolation</i>. When your baby is in the NICU, it is <i>so</i> easy to become socially isolated because your whole life revolves around your NICU visits, talking to the doctors and nurses, pumping milk, researching about the conditions your baby is dealing with, experiencing all kinds of emotions, etc. It becomes exhausting and the mood is not optimal for social gatherings. However, I cannot stress enough how important this is to your and the baby’s health. Social isolation is a major risk factor when it comes to depression, which only leads to a downward spiral. Parents with preemies in the NICU cannot afford to get depressed for extended period of times because this will directly impact how you care for your baby. Therefore, it is paramount that parents make every effort to surround themselves with supportive people in their lives and try to enjoy the moment. This means to be with people even when they do not understand what you are going through. Connecting with people and simply laughing at times will go a long way in coping with these difficult circumstances. <br />
<br />
Do this without <i>any</i> guilt because in some cultures there seems to be an unspoken rule that you should be sad <i>all</i> the time during such situations. People may judge you for being social, but that is okay too. That comes from a place of ignorance so do not let this get to you. When I gave birth to our micro preemie only after being in Australia for two months, our social network was limited. We tapped into whatever limited resources we had at our fingertips and made the best of it. I highly encourage you to reach to your social network (real or electronic) and make some time to laugh a little!<br /><br /><br /></div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-86067331521936450512012-07-05T21:34:00.001-04:002012-07-05T21:34:04.924-04:00Making Summer Fun and Educational (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Summer is in full swing in America. Now that the anticipation of Independence Day celebration is over, many parents are probably wondering how they can keep their kids busy, learning, and having fun all at the same time. Research shows that low-income children are at a disadvantage during the summer time because they do not have the resources to explore and learn as their affluent counterparts do. Students from low-income households lose an average of two months reading achievement over the summer. This, many assert, is a major contributing factor to the “achievement gap” between the "haves" and the "have-nots" (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11826934). Children with resources are enrolling in enrichment programs, visiting museums, reading with parents at home, etc. while those without the resources do not have these opportunities. Over time, this gap widens and has major implications. All children need to be intellectually stimulated during the summer or they are at risk of falling behind in academics. <br /><br /> I know what some parents may be thinking: “kids need their downtime, need to have fun, and just be kids.” I know this because I am one of those parents. While I believe in this viewpoint, I also believe that children need to stay engaged in “school-like” activities to keep their mind fresh and ready to learn when the new school year begins in the Fall. The goal of this article is <i>not</i> to argue whether to have year-round school with a cumulative two months break distributed throughout the year or continue with the existing model of having the traditional two months summer break. Rather, the goal is for parents to work within the current schooling structure so our children can maximize fun and learning during the summertime. If you know me, you will know that I am all about maintaining “win-win” situations. This is one of them, where we can enjoy the summer break and still foster learning in our children. Of course, this will require parents to tie in the academic piece at home while continuing the leisure activities such as going to the pool, bike riding, tv watching, etc. Like many things in parenting, a balancing act is necessary.<br /><br /> Here is an example of how I plan to balance between leisure and academics. This week, we have been having a heat wave in parts of America, including where I reside. So, just to be funny I put on my Facebook status “Wondering what would happen if I put cake batter in a pan and let it sit out on my deck for an hour or so.” Then I thought about it, well tomorrow I have both of my kids home, my son asked if we could make cookies, and it is Friday. The latter part is significant because I am a NPR junkie and one of many favorite shows is Science Friday by Ira Flatow. Therefore, tomorrow will be Science Friday at the Basnyat’s home where we will experiment with cookie dough and cake batter. We will compare the time and temperature it takes to make yummy treats out in the blazing sun to that of the burning oven. It will be over my three year old’s head, but my seven year old will learn and enjoy at the same time! <br /><br /><i>5 Tips for Summertime</i><br />
<br />1. <i>Journaling</i>. Writing down dates and times of trips and activities will not only help in understanding timelines, but your child is practicing writing skills.<br />2. <i>Arts and Crafts</i>. This can include a whole host of activities from making cards to making bird feeders. <br />3. <i>Gardening</i>. Growing and taking care of plants not only teaches about science, but also teaches patience and responsibility.<br />4. <i> Baking</i>. All kinds of learning is happening when you are gathering materials, measuring, reading instructions, baking, and the cleaning up process.<br />5. <i>Fields trips</i>. Visiting the library, museums, zoo, and other wonderful institutions enrich a child’s learning experience. Just this week, I took my son on a field trip on the public bus to the local senior center and the library. He learned so much about how the bus system works, how senior citizens stay active, and used the library’s call numbers to find his books. <br />

(By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /> Everyone knows about “family values.” Some values people may have include education, religion, intelligence, attractiveness, money, responsibility, honesty, prestige, etc. Intellectually, we also know that values are neither right nor wrong. I cannot judge someone's values no more than they can judge mine. So, the real question becomes whether we think about our values regularly to help guide us in our parenting. <br /><br /> Values provide a framework in parenting. This framework helps us to prioritize and make decisions effectively in our day to day parenting. As parents, we have to constantly make decisions that pertain to our family and children’s welfare. Some of these decisions are easy and others are very difficult. Add to the mix, competing demands or other people trying to influence our decisions for <i>whatever</i> reason. Now, it is a great recipe to make a parent's head spin. If you do not like making decisions, then your head is spinning even faster! So, I propose you use this approach so we can all avoid dizzy spells. <br /> <br /><i>The Approach</i><br />
<br />1. You have to identify what your family values are. <br />2. Discuss these values with your partner and come to a mutual understanding. <br />3. Regularly reflect on these values so they are fresh in your mind and heart. <br />4. Rank order your values with the most important being at the top and the least one at the bottom.<br />5. When decision time rolls around, use the most important values to help you make the decision!<br /><br /><i>The Examples</i><br /><br /> In practical terms, what does this look like right? People have told me that they like it when I use my personal examples so here goes another. Couple of months ago, our 7 year old son’s school had a STEM Night Fair. For those who may not be familiar with STEM, it stands for Science Technology Engineering Mathematics. This is a nationwide initiative in the US to stimulate interest and foster a long-term commitment to these areas of study in our school systems. Of course our son wanted to participate since the students would be "earning" medals. I cringed a little when I learned this latter piece, but succumbed to the notion that if this were going to spark an interest for my child, then so be it. Well, that same night our son also had a soccer game. The dilemma we faced was deciding between the competing values.<br /><br /> YES, soccer is a value in our family, which I learned the hard way. The other obvious value is education. Our son wanted to do "half and half." When he suggested this solution, the other value that crept in was that we believe in doing things all the way rather than “half way.” So, we decided that attending the STEM would be more important than the soccer game. Explained this to our son and went happily to school that night. We all had a great time, learned a lot from the other projects, and he <i>earned </i>a medal! <br /><br /> Let us contrast this with another example. A few days after the STEM Night Fair, our son woke up looking sick with a pink eye, which could very well have been allergy symptoms. <i>Ding</i>, <i>ding</i> decision time again. Should he or shouldn’t he miss school? Did I mention that he has <i>never</i> missed a day since he started school? Our son is very aware of this fact and quite proud of himself, as he should be. Well, you already know how important education is to us. This time, the competing value was not soccer, but <i>health</i>.<br /><br /> How can health not trump education? I mean without health, what good is an education right? Needless to say, he missed school and visited his pediatrician instead. It turned out to be allergies and he was back to school the next day. Interestingly, his report card does <i>not</i> reflect this one absent day. I wonder if the secretary thought the recorded absence was a mistake. Shhh, we’ll just keep that between us (wink). <br /><br /> These two examples illustrate how a parent can use their values to guide them in their parenting. Furthermore, the importance of values shifts depending on the circumstances and/or competing values. Therefore, prioritizing our values is critical in the decision-making process. Without strong family values, decision-making can be much harder than it needs to be! <br /></div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-66483580664255489432012-06-21T12:07:00.000-04:002012-06-21T12:07:10.343-04:00I Think You Just Answered Your Own Question, My Friend (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Every parent knows that there is no cookbook to parenting. However, this does not stop many from <i>trying</i> this approach. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I cannot tell you how many times I have encountered people in my professional and personal lives who say they have “tried everything” to get their child to do <i>whatever</i>. A variation of this may be them complaining that they have researched online or read parenting literature and tried the strategies the experts recommend, but they-simply-do-not-work. When people have come to me in this semi-crisis mode, I usually ask them two questions: what strategies have you tried and how long have you tried it for? Typically, the strategies themselves are reasonable and some are even creative, but the answers to the second question baffle me. I am usually told days, no more than a month really. So, what is happening here?<br /><br /> The parent who tries tactics after tactics without giving it sufficient time is not going to get the results they want from their children. This is like Baskin Robbins advertising their flavor of the week. It works for an ice-cream parlor, but not parents. Although parenting is not a cookbook; however, there are fundamental principles that make the job more effective and much easier. Here, the one that is most at play is consistency. Unlike a recipe, human behavior is complex and to change it takes time, effort, and teamwork. When a child has learned a particular behavior that has worked for them for years (however maladaptive it might have been), it will take consistency on the parents’ parts to have a fighting chance to unlearn it. Otherwise, it will be a very difficult battle. <br /><br /> A battle with a slew of issues that can arise when parents are not consistent with their child. Here are some of them:<br />• Negative parent-child relationship develops.<br />• The child gets labeled as a “bad kid” at home, school, and in the community with serious negative consequences in terms of academic and social functioning.<br />• Gets misdiagnosed, such as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), various Anxiety Disorders, Depression, etc. <br />• Parents start blaming the school for the problems, which quickly turns into a negative parent-school relationship and does not benefit the child at all.<br />• The child becomes the identified problem, when in fact it is a parenting problem and this can negatively impact the marriage.<br />
• If there are other children in the home, then detrimental sibling rivalries can develop because now we have the “good child” and the “bad child.” Think about all of the drama that can come out of this unhealthy dynamic!<br /><br /> Therefore, consistency is important not only to change a behavior, but also to <i>prevent </i>undesirable situations. Please allow me to sidetrack just a little here to make a point. <br /><br /> So, I recently read an article that adeptly pointed out that in our society we have a very interesting view of risk taking (http://www.webinknow.com/2012/05/risk.html). Often, we consider the risk of doing something and the negative consequences associated with that act. Moreover, this view may be even more prominent in litigious societies. The argument being that when we take this approach, we may be missing really great opportunities for growth personally, professionally, and in other ways. Rather, the risk of<i> not</i> doing something may be a more effective approach. Therefore, in terms of parenting, consider the risk of <i>not </i>being consistent with your child.<br />
<br /> Now that we are all motivated to be more consistent in our parenting, here are some tips to guide you:<br /><br />1. <i>Each parent has to be consistent with the child</i>. For example, if Johnny gets in trouble for stealing cookies from the cookie jar on Monday. If he tries this again on Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. then he should get in trouble for this behavior again on <i>each</i> occasion. This will send Johnny a clear and consistent message not only about stealing cookies, but stealing in general. The flip side is that he gets punished on Monday, but not on Tuesday, and then again on Wednesday so on and so forth. If this inconsistency is happening over and over again, then Johnny will be very confused about what is expected of him and will not effectively learn what his parent is trying to teach him. After all, being a teacher is a huge part of the parent’s role!<br /><br />2. <i> The parents have to be consistent with each other.</i> This by far, is the most common problem I have seen in my professional experience as a therapist and a parenting coach. Going back to the same example, if Johnny’s mother reprimands him for stealing the cookies, but his father tells him to go ahead and enjoy the yummy cookies, then there is a consistency problem between the parents. No doubt this is difficult at first, but once the parents are on the same page with each other, parenting becomes much easier, enjoyable, and beneficial for the child. Here are some ways to accomplish consistency between the parents:<br /><br />• Do NOT undermine the other parent, especially in front of the child. It may look something like this. Now, Johnny wants to go to the mall to hang out with his friends. He asks dad whether he can go and dad says “yes.” Mom overhears this, and she may say this to dad (probably in front of Johnny) “Why would you say yes, when he still has to clean his room?!” To Johnny, mom says “No, you can’t go and that’s final.” If this happens consistently, then this is a HUGE problem! <br />
<br />First, mom has just communicated to Johnny that dad has no authority in the family, and she is the boss. Second, this will be a blow to dad’s self-esteem, which will ignite resentment towards his wife and over time this will negatively impact their marital relationship in more ways than one. Third, Johnny will not only be confused, but will probably use this inconsistency between his parents to his advantage, probably not in a good way. We have a very scientific name for this process and it’s called <i>manipulation</i>. <br /><br />• If the decision does not have a serious consequence, go with what the first parent has said to the child. Since dad said it is okay for Johnny to head to the mall, mom should just let it go (aka L.I.G). Letting go is an important life skill in and of itself, wouldn’t you say? A common question people have is this: “Well, isn’t mom undermining her authority by doing this?” The answer is No because there will be plenty of opportunities for dad to support mom in this way. At the end of the day, it all works out beautifully because the partnership works best this way!<br /><br />• If there is a major consequence to the first parent’s decision, then the second parent can offer valuable information to the first parent. In other words, let’s just say that Johnny not cleaning his room will mean that the soon to arrive out-of-town guests will be scrambling for a room to sleep in, which would really add stress on the whole family. What mom can say to dad is: “I don’t know if you knew this, but Johnny has not cleaned his room yet.” Mom has conveniently given dad new information so dad can make a wiser decision, but the decision is still dad’s and mom will respect it. In this way, dad is not being undermined by his wife, but just simply being informed. A very different message is being communicated here to Johnny. That is, mom and dad are on the same page and therefore, a team in parenting. Johnny is outnumbered, so it would be foolish to challenge this. In case he does challenge it, again mom and dad will handle it like a team and things will run much more smoothly in this household. If this is something you need to work on in your family, try this approach and let us know how it works for you (after sufficient time)!<br /><br />3. Parents should ask themselves: “Am I being consistent?” or “Are we being consistent?” This has worked very well for us as parents. When our son was having some social issues with his peers in kindergarten, it took us a while to figure this out, but we realized that somehow we had fallen of the consistency wagon. This can easily happen if you have competing demands like jobs and other responsibilities. The important thing is to get right back on the consistency wagon. Similar to bike riding, after a fall you get right back on it or you will not learn how to ride a bike. Once we got back on the consistency wagon, our son’s behaviors improved. Since we are usually consistent with each other, it did not take very long for our son to realize that mom and dad are on the same team again so I better not mess with them! If you practice consistency regularly but sometimes forget, then getting back on track and seeing the results may only take few days. Likewise, if consistency is lacking in the family then it can take some time because it is a process where "things may get worse before they get better." However, the time and effort it takes will be well worth it! <br /><br /> In other words, there are no “quick fixes” in parenting. So, the next time somebody tells me they have tried every trick in the books and they are not working, and asks “What should I do?” You know what I’ll be saying: “I think you just answered your own question, my friend!” </div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-22195795613206312782012-06-17T14:26:00.002-04:002012-06-17T14:26:21.419-04:00Fathers are More than Breadwinners (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This is a modified re-post in honoring fathers on this special occasion.<br />
<br />
Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful dads out there! <i>Wonderful</i>, meaning those fathers who seem to have mastered the art and science of fatherhood, as well to those who are trying their best to be great fathers despite obstacles. In most societies, fathers tend to be the breadwinners, but fatherhood goes beyond this role. Somehow, fathers do not seem to get the recognition for their hardwork as mothers tend to do in our society. <br />
<br />
It is no doubt that mothers get lot of attention in our society.
You have to look no further than the advertisements leading up to
Mother’s Day and compare it to the ones leading up to Father’s Day.
Does it feel like Father’s Day seems to “sneak up on you?” If it does,
then you are not alone. In my opinion, fathers are <i>way</i> undervalued in our society and do not get the credit
they deserve.<br />
<br />
An involved father makes significant, positive
impact in their children’s lives in terms of psychological well-being,
academic achievement, cognitive abilities, and social behavior
(Rosenberg & Wilcox, 2006). This is true for both sons and
daughters, although the father-daughter relationship differs from the
father-son relationship. Consider the following findings, some may
surprise you.<br />
<br />
<i>Fathers and Daughters </i>(http://www.parentingbookmark.com/pages/LN01.htm): <br />
• Fathers tend to have more impact than mothers in these areas with their daughters: <br />
(1) achieving academic and career success—especially in math and science <br />
(2) creating a loving, trusting relationship with a man <br />
(3) dealing well with people in authority—especially men <br />
(4) being self-confident and self-reliant <br />
(5) willing to try new things and to accept challenges <br />
(6) maintaining good mental health <br />
(7) Expressing anger comfortably and appropriately—especially with men<br />
<br />
• After their fathers’ deaths, many daughters regret not knowing their fathers well when alive.<br />
• Daughters who are raised by single fathers are just as well adjusted and as happy as daughters raised by single mothers.<br />
•
Fathers and daughters are usually closer when the mother works full
time outside the home while the children are growing up.<br />
• Most
fathers want to spend more time with their children, but can’t because
of their jobs. Just imagine the amount of stress this creates for the
father.<br />
Realities: (1) Eighty percent of the fathers in our
country earn most of the money for their families. (2) Counting the time
spent commuting, working, doing house and yard work, and being with the
kids, the average father has 5 hours less free time each week than the
average employed mother. (3) On average, employed fathers work 10 more
hours a week than employed mothers.<br />
• Many fathers believe that their wives and daughters’ feelings for them are partly—or sometimes largely—based on money.<br />
•
A father usually has a closer relationship with his kids when the
mother lets everyone in the family know how much she appreciates his
ways of parenting—especially if his way of relating to the kids isn’t
exactly like hers.<br />
• A daughter has a better relationship with
her father when her mother does not rely on her for advice or comfort on
adult issues—especially issues involving the parents’ relationship with
each other.<br />
• When parents are unhappily married, most children side with their mother against their father.<br />
•
Sadly, there are mothers who feel uncomfortable or jealous with the
idea that their daughter might share as much time or as much personal
information with her father as she does with her mother.<br />
<br />
<i>Fathers and Sons</i> (http://www.gapsychology.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=15):<br />
Fathers and sons have an interesting relationship pattern that Dr.
Williams explains with the acronym IDEAL. The circle of father-son
relationship goes as follows.<br />
<br />
I= Idolize. This happens
when sons as children feel their dads can do no wrong. They imitate the
father’s behaviors by walking like him, talking like him, etc. The need
to please and gain approval and acceptance is very strong at this
stage.<br />
<br />
D= Discord. Conflict seems to be the central theme in the
teenage years. Sons often reject their fathers’ expectations and values,
rather taking on non-traditional philosophies and often creating
tension between the father and son. This may carry on to the early
twenties.<br />
<br />
E= Evolving. There may still be emotional distance, but
also the need to please and gain approval continues. It may seem like
the son is in competition with the father. At some point in their
twenties, the tide moves in the positive direction.<br />
<br />
A=
Acceptance. As adults in their 30’s and 40’s, sons start to accept
their fathers for who they are, recognize their strengths, forgive, and
even admire their fathers’ qualities that once repulsed them. Fathers
and sons may even become friends during this time sharing common
interests and expressing opinions without all of the drama of the
earlier years. This is also the time when the sons have sons of their
own and the tables have turned.<br />
<br />
L= Legacy. In their 50’s, sons
become a legacy of their father’s influence for better and worse. Time
has eased the pain of earlier years full of contention and has been
replaced with respect and appreciation for the difficult job fathering
entails. Those older adult sons who have not resolved their issues with
their fathers, tend to have similar conflicts replayed with their own
teenage or young adult sons. If elderly fathers are still living, a
role reversal occurs where the older adult sons are now taking care of
their aging fathers. <br />

<br /> Having lived in the United States for nearly thirty years and in various other countries, there is no other nation that compares to the diversity America embodies. It is not just a place where people of all different ethnicity coexist together, but <i>truly</i> integrate with one another. Sure, it still has more work to do when it comes to diversity issues such as racism and equal rights, but it is the best representation of how a multicultural society can function. With any culture, there are both positives and negatives, and America is not immune to this. For us, it is paramount that we take the best of both worlds approach when raising our two children. This is true for any multicultural parenting.<br /><br /> Within this melting pot, there is a subset of immigrants from Nepali descent, to which both my husband and I belong to. The Nepali culture is a collectivistic society where group values play a dominant role in day to day functioning. In contrast, the American society is very individualistic where the individual’s needs take precedence over the group values. Merging the Nepali and American cultures will surely present challenges in parenting. To optimize the best features of both cultures, the Nepali-American parent must employ the best of both worlds approach. This multicultural parenting approach will yield the best results in our children. It is not an easy task, but is attainable with perseverance and an open-mind. Here, I have outlined five concepts that I feel impact the Nepali-American household and can wreak havoc in the parent-child relationship if it is not appropriately understood and handled.<br /><br /> <i>Interdependence</i> is a common family dynamic in the Nepali parent-child relationship where as independence is encouraged in the American home. Children in the Nepali family have obligations to their family. Family members have clearly defined roles, and individuals need to act according to those role expectations in the Nepali home. Parent-child relationships are very tight in the Nepali home, especially between sons and their parents. Once a daughter marries, she becomes part of her husband’s family where she has very defined roles. According to the Nepali culture, sons are expected to take care of their parents in old age and extended family members such as grandparents assist in child caretaking. This family social structure in the Nepali culture is changing due to more women entering the workforce and children enrolling in daycare. Nonetheless, this interdependence is still prevalent. <br /><br /> In contrast, the American family members do not have such strict individual roles but relate to one another in an intimate fashion. Families tend to be smaller and usually consist only of the nuclear family, although blended families are increasing. This allows for a strong bond in the parent-child relationship. Children are encouraged to break away from the family and pursue an independent life where they assume adult responsibilities like having a job or going off to college, cooking and cleaning for themselves, and managing financial responsibilities just to list a few. These two opposing family structures and society at large, set up the perfect backdrop for family drama and conflicts when a Nepali parent is trying to raise a child in the American culture. <br />
<br /> Now that the Nepali parents have decided to settle in America and make a future here, it becomes imperative that they try to compromise between the two cultures so their children get the best opportunities possible. The goal is not to reject the Nepali culture and become “Americanized.” Likewise, just immersing in the Nepali culture where you expose them to only Nepali people, food, language, and traditions in hopes that they learn about the American culture in school is <i>not</i> good enough. Our children have to be exposed to the “American people”, whatever their national heritage may be, as well as the American lifestyle. Additionally, the Nepali-American parent has to make genuine efforts in doing so.<br />
<br />
If I could point to just one thing that would help a child get an edge in this wonderful nation called the United States, it is <i>social networking </i>(outside of Facebook, Twitter, and the like)<i></i>. Relationships matter in America. You will be surprised to know how early these social networks form and develop into lasting friendships. I would highly encourage you to take your child to the birthday parties that start very early in the school years. Perhaps, you can view this as interdependence on a different level than it would be in a Nepali home. The American saying: “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” kind of sums up what I am trying to convey here about interdependence in our social relations. <br /> <br /> <i>Respect</i> is another important concept in the Nepali parent-child relationship. Filial piety means that children must respect their parents and their elders. There are no <i>ifs, ands, or buts</i>. Respect can come in many different forms in the Nepali culture. In the most basic way is using the highest level of the word <i>you </i>such as “hajur” or “thapai.” Greeting parents by bowing to their feet or offering your head for their blessing is another form of respect. Listening and following through on the advices from a parent would be another way of conveying respect. There are many ways a child ought to convey respect to their parent. This expectation creates conflict when Nepali parents are trying to raise children in America because respect is demanded in the Nepali home whereas in the American culture it is <i>earned</i>. For example, a parent who abuses their child is not respected, but<i> feared</i> which are two, very different concepts in America. However, in the Nepali culture respect and fear tend to go hand in hand.<br /><br /> So how does respect in the American culture look different than in a Nepali household? In America, people have to earn and maintain respect regardless if it is towards a parent or another elder, authority figure. This is in contrast to the Nepali culture where respect towards a parent or an elder is expected or demanded. Merely being in a position of power or using fear tactics does not grant someone respect in the American culture. Here, everybody starts at <i>zero</i>, which I believe is a beautiful thing. Being honest, friendly, assertive, and confident are some of the qualities that earn a person respect in America. Behaviorally, maintaining good eye contact and listening without interrupting are also forms of respect for Americans. However, not major concerns for the Nepali people. <br />
<br />
You will often witness a Nepali forgoing good eye contact and talking on top of another Nepali without either one feeling slighted, unless of course, you are an Americanized Nepali. Perhaps, that should be a test of "How Nepali Are You?" :-) I guarantee this will not go very well in the American culture. As a Nepali-American parent, you have to first decide what respect means to you and find ways to teach this value to your child. It is very common for a Nepali parent to accuse their child of being disrespectful, when the child is just simply being assertive. Asserting oneself is in opposition to the next highly valued concept in the Nepali culture. <br /><br /> <i>Compliance</i> is another expected behavior from a child in the Nepali culture. When a parent tells their child to do or say something, whether it is a simple greeting or a career choice, compliance is expected or disappointment and conflict arise. Compliance implies that the person does not have much choice in the matter and this is not highly valued in the American culture. American parents want their child to adhere to rules and social boundaries, but they also encourage their child to challenge them if they seem unjust or nonsensical. To do this appropriately, an open line of communication is fostered between a child and parent in the American home so children can learn what is right and what is wrong. Whereas in the Nepali culture, challenging a parent or any other authority figure is a social taboo and can be a source of embarrassment for the family. Over time, a communication gap in a Nepali parent-child relationship becomes apparent.<br /><br /> I have often heard Nepali parents boast that their child does whatever is being told or expected of them. Therefore, is a “good boy” or a “good girl.” To this, I am first silently thinking: "Are you kidding me?!" Then, I think or sometimes voice that I <i>want </i>my child to challenge and question me. Otherwise, how would they learn to critically think for themselves and navigate a complex process called <i>Life</i>? With that being said, a Nepali-American parent would need to be mindful exactly how much their child challenges authority because Life does not permit too much challenging. A fine balancing act is in order here.<br /><br /> <i>Saving face</i> is highly valued and practiced in the Nepali culture. This is a sociological concept that means an individual does whatever necessary to protect one’s dignity and honor. A child’s behaviors reflect the family’s dignity and honor. The family will go to lengths to protect their reputation. This does not become a problem in Nepal because everyone is practicing this and saving face maintains harmony in the family system. However, this will undoubtedly create conflict in America because saving face ultimately compromises honesty, which is a highly regarded value in the American culture. <br /> <br /> Honesty is the building blocks of trust. Without trust in the American home, the family crumbles. Maintaining harmony is more important than trust in the Nepali home. Nepali people are very patient and forgiving people, even though they may have been wronged very badly. Even by close family members. Living with extended families is very common in Nepali homes so maintaining harmony is very crucial to a smooth functioning household and saving face is a big part of this process. As a Nepali-American parent, we want both harmony and trust in our family. Fostering this in our parenting is trickier than one might think. <br /><br /> Some situations that may call for saving face in the Nepali home include: poor academic performance, negative parent-child relationship, marital discord, abuse, engagement in illicit behaviors like drug use, dating at a young age, disruptive behaviors, suffers from mental illness or a disability, etc. Ignoring, minimizing, and lying about such circumstances are common saving face mechanisms used and justified in many Nepali families. Furthermore, this inhibits them from seeking much needed professional help for themselves or their children. To an American, this seems outrageous and maybe even neglectful, but for a Nepali parent it is a way of preserving the family unit and dignity. The negative social stigma is too much to bear for the average Nepali family so saving face becomes a defense mechanism. This speaks volumes for societal self-esteem, confidence, and courage. <br /><br /> However, the Nepali-American parent would not want to compromise so much in order to save face. They would have to determine which situations call for saving face and which ones do not. The consequence of either saving face or not for each situation should be examined first. For instance, because dating is not encouraged at a young age (traditionally, even before marriage, but changing now) in the Nepali culture, your teenage child dating may be worthy of saving face, but not if your teenager is suffering from a mental illness like depression, which requires professional intervention and the consequences are too risky. But then again, depending on the individual family, who knows. If a Nepali-American parent wants to practice saving face, then it may be wise to do a risk/benefit analysis first. <br /><br /> <i>Control</i> is a very common parenting strategy in the Nepali home. This is a way to protect the child from harm, failure, save face, etc. Contrast this with the American child who is given choices to make their own decisions, encouraged to develop their own ways, and taught to take responsibility for their own behaviors. Since a child’s behaviors reflect the family’s dignity, parents are major stakeholders so they feel compelled to limit freedom to their child. Nepali parents view too much freedom as a source of problems in their children and family. It is not uncommon for Nepali parents in America to complain that there is too much freedom here and <i>that</i> contributes to our child going in the “wrong direction.” This is anxiety provoking so hence, the need to control the child or situations ensue. Like saving face, imposing control is another defense mechanism in dealing with internal anxiety. If this sounds like it is coming from left field, then consider when a person starts a new job. <br />
<br /> The anxiety of not knowing what is expected of you at a new job compels the person to exert control over their environment like getting super organized and overdoing the preparation for the first few days. After some time has passed and you feel comfortable with the new job, the super organized you can now relax a bit. This is adaptive at a new job, but when you are parenting, it becomes complicated because <i>now</i> you will enter a power struggle with your child. Over time, this power struggle will ignite a whole host of unpleasant emotions and can severely damage the parent-child relationship.<br /><br /> What the Nepali-American parent needs to understand is that parental control is valued in both cultures, but how they go about maintaining it is very different. The Nepali parent uses strategies such as manipulation, shame, guilt, and punishment (physical, emotional, and/or verbal) to gain and maintain social control over their child. The American parent values setting boundaries and limits, effective discipline, self-expression, independence and self-reliance as ways of maintaining control in the family. This may sound counter-intuitive, but think about this statement: “the more you try to control, the less in control you feel.” Does this ring true for you? In other words, the more you try to hold onto your child, the more they want to be free since the American culture fosters breaking away from the family and becoming more self-sufficient. Given the cultural context, this is healthy and should be encouraged by the Nepali-American parent. Happy balancing the two cultures!<br /><br /><br /></div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-63950660294246187402012-06-06T13:58:00.003-04:002012-06-06T14:30:30.210-04:00Back to the Basics: Manners 101 (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br />
Humans are social beings. We thrive when we have good relationships with people. Strong bonds with people take time, effort, and skills. The building blocks of good relationships are good manners. Manners are more than just being “nice.” Without using good manners, it will be very difficult to establish rapport with people and cultivate a lasting friendship.When we use good manners (e.g. please, thank you, good eye contact, etc.), we are essentially communicating to the other person that they are important, valued, interesting, respected, etc. In other words, we validate them as being worthy of our time and effort. This in turn does wonders for a blossoming friendship!<br />
<br />
<i> Everyone</i> wants to feel appreciated and validated. It is a thirst that we all need to quench whether we admit it or not. As a parent, we have to help our children understand this so they are able to empathize and build healthy friendships. To do this, a child has to do more than use their staple manners such as “please” and “thank you.” This is not to downplay the importance of these very basic manners, but to understand that there are other basic manners that are required in positive human interactions. However, even though these basic manners are learned very early on, they still need to be reinforced throughout childhood so they are being used regularly to foster good relations. Below you will find five more important manners that foster positive human interactions that may be overlooked by parents. This is not an all inclusive list, but a good start in teaching our kids good manners!<br />
<br />
<i>5 Manners Your Child Should Know: </i><br />
<br />
1. <i>Introducing yourself.</i> Once a child is in a formal school setting, it is a good time to start this skill. During these years, they are meeting new people who they will see on a regular basis. In other words, this is when they start making friends. <br />
<br />
Some things a child needs to consider when introducing themselves is whether they actually want to meet the new person, decide on a good time to do it, actually walk up to the person and introduce themselves, and wait for the other person to respond. This also helps in knowing what to do when someone comes to introduce themselves to them. Children often do not shake hands with each other unless they are older. However, depending on whether the child seems mature or “ready,” parents may want to encourage shaking hands with adults. The parent and child can role-play this at home if there is an upcoming event where the child will meet a new person like at a party. When a child introduces themselves without much prompting, they will feel proud of themselves. This is a great way to build self-esteem, assertiveness skills, and appropriate risk-taking, which are very important in good mental health and relationship building.<br />
<br />
One precaution would be when there is a safety concern when a child introduces themselves like during a telephone call from a stranger. Here, the parent would have to not only talk about stranger danger, but also make sure the child is ready to handle taking phone calls. Again, role-playing and then observing the child navigate the phone interaction would be a good teaching tool. The parents should first instruct the child to not give their name when the caller asks “who is this?” rather the child should first get that information from the caller. Taking down the information like the caller’s name and number would be the next step. Finally, ending the call by letting the caller know the message will be passed on and thanking them. To successfully handle a phone call independently, the child really should be able to listen and write well. However, they can always hang up if they feel uncomfortable at any point. There is no specific age when this should happen, but parental instincts can guide you. <br />
<br />
2. <i>Maintaining eye contact.</i> In most Western cultures, maintaining eye contact during a social exchange is a sign of respect and conveys that the listener is interested. However, in some Eastern cultures, it may be a sign of disrespect. This would be useful information to have when interacting with people. Having said that, if you are raising a child in a culture where maintaining good eye contact is important, then by all means this should be encouraged. Explain that good eye contact conveys respect, interest, and fosters good communication in maintaining friends. Also, let them know that if you do not look at the person speaking or when listening, then the other person’s feelings may be hurt because this is rude behavior. Gentle reminding and practicing this skill at home will be helpful. <br />
<br />
3. <i> Apologizing.</i> Children need to first understand that everyone makes mistakes. Then, they need to learn that when we make mistakes, we need to apologize for it. This is about being accountable for our behaviors and making amends when necessary. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who cannot admit their mistakes. With that being said, <i>forcing</i> your child to say “sorry” is counterproductive. Essentially, when an apology is forced, then it is not meaningful and “fake” for lack of a better word.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the forced apology situation opens another can of worms where the parent and child interaction now becomes negative. Instead, a parent may ask if the child wants to apologize and then gently encourage them to do so. If your child insists on being “right” and does not feel they need to apologize, you could just simply tell your child “I understand, I cannot force you to apologize if you honestly feel you did not do anything wrong.” Another way to respond is to let your child know that they can apologize later if they want to. You may want to add in a shrug with a smile too so the other child or their parent know that you tried your best. You may be pleasantly surprised with what may happen next! <br />
<br />
4. <i>Giving and Accepting Compliments</i>. Who doesn’t like to get compliments? They are an ego boost! Almost everyone likes to receive compliments, but they may not know <i>how</i> to handle it in a socially-appropriate way because they may feel embarrassed or other emotions. This good manner of giving and accepting goes hand in hand.<br />
<br />
First, model to your child how to give a compliment to others by giving them compliments on a regular basis. Then, ask them how they felt when they were paid a compliment. Usually, it is either pleasant or embarrassing. Next, discuss ways to accept a compliment like saying “thank you” or also giving credit to another person if it was a team effort like “Joe helped too.” Lastly, have your child give a compliment to someone (you or sibling) to practice this skill. Usually, when it is a young school-age child, they may first focus on physical attributes like “I like your clothes/hair/etc.” This is perfectly fine and they will later learn to compliment on things like effort (e.g. working hard on a project) or personality traits (e.g. being thoughtful). Aside from being an ego boost, giving and accepting compliments really enhance a social interaction in a positive way.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. <i>Smiling</i>. I believe this is a manner that is often overlooked. We need to encourage our children to smile more often. Smiles are priceless and reap great rewards! There is much research to support the notion that a simple smile has many benefits (http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/publications/observer/the-psychological-study-of-smiling.html). Just think how it makes you feel when someone flashes you a smile for no reason at all. Besides, it is the most inexpensive way to improve one’s looks, don’t you think? :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) </div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-75566248667316754982012-05-29T23:59:00.001-04:002012-05-29T23:59:20.034-04:00Allowances: Should We or Shouldn’t We? (Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /> The great allowance debate is still unresolved in our home. I, with a psychology background, say it is unnecessary and my husband, with his business background, says it is a great way to teach kids about money management. For me, it is not even about <i>how much</i> a child should get for allowance. Together, we can come up with an easy formula. However, should the allowance be <i>linked with chores</i> is another story. Some people give allowance <i>without</i> it being linked to chores, which seems like free money to me, but what do I know...I only have a psychology degree! Here are three reasons why I am opposed to giving an allowance to children.<br />
<br /> Argument one: I strongly believe that as a member of a family, everyone needs to do their share. This is about working as a team in a family. Of course, parents need to keep in mind that chores have to be age-appropriate. It is appropriate for a 5 year old to make his own bed, set the table, feed the pet, etc. It is not okay for a 5 year old to be cooking, ironing, taking out the trash, etc. There are certain chores that kids should be doing without getting paid. <br />
<br /> Argument two: I strongly believe children want to do well intrinsically and feel empowered when they make valuable contributions to the family. Chores teach kids responsibility, life skills, good citizenship, etc. Paying them to do these chores not only devalues these life lessons, but also complicates matter. <i>Now</i>, the parent has added an extrinsic motivator. Are the kids doing the chores because they want to or because they just want to get paid? Do you withhold allowance if they misbehave in situations that are not chores-related? What kind of rules do you set about <i>how</i> to spend the money they have earned? For example, is it ok to blow their money on a pair of shoes that cost $100? These are tricky things a parent has to be able to work around so we do not inadvertently send the "wrong" message. In other words, the parent has good intentions and is trying to teach their child the value of money, but only to have their child waste it on something that is not worthwhile. What kind of money lessons do the kids end up learning? <br />
<br /> Argument three: I strongly believe that children can learn money management or financial literacy without getting allowances. We have not implemented allowance with our 7 year old son, and probably will not in the future. My husband seems to be seeing things my way at this time (wink). However, our son already learned some key money management skills such as understanding the difference between a “want” and a “need” and he has been practicing spend, save, and share (the 3S’s of money management). Most recently, he seems to be understanding the meaning of an “interest” like in banking. For example, I recently was low in cash and had to send some money to his school. Discovered this the morning of, so no time to run to the ATM. I told him I’ll have to take a small loan out of his piggy bank and to this he very casually replied “Ok, but you have to put back more money than you took out.” Surprised by this I said “What?!” and to this, he nonchalantly added “That’s my rule or you can go to B’s (little sister) piggy bank to get it.” Now, can someone honestly tell me that this kid does not understand money management?<br />
<br />I would love to hear your thoughts on whether you feel giving an allowance is a good or bad idea. <br /></div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-88626811517246031872012-05-21T21:59:00.002-04:002012-05-21T21:59:58.549-04:00Talking to Our Young Kids about Good Touch, Bad Touch (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This is a concerning topic for many parents with young children. The two most common questions that come to parents’ mind are probably: “When do we talk about this?” and “How do we talk about this?” We, as parents, get anxious even when we <i>think</i> about talking about good touch and bad touch. Why is this so?<br />
<br /> Some of the contributing factors to our uneasiness may be the following. First, our culture views sex has a taboo subject to talk about even with adults, and certainly a no, no with kids. One of the underlying anxiety behind this may be that we, as parents, do not want to give our kids “any ideas” about sex in hopes that they will not engage in it early on. Well, we know how this is not an effective strategy if you simply look at the statistics surrounding teen pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and physical and sexual abuse toward children. <br />
<br /> Second, we get anxious because we do not <i>how</i> talk about it. Things like what kind of language to use so our kids can understand what we are trying to say, how to determine if it is the right time, and how to answer their questions adequately may be some of the worries. Lastly, some parents do not want to talk about it because they do not feel it is necessary or want to instill fear in their child. Parents may have concerns about their child “losing their innocence” simply by talking about it. <br />
<br /> Whatever the case may be, it is <i>very</i> important to talk about it especially with technological advances making it easier to access our kids. Just consider the GPS feature that is activated on our mobile devices that can pinpoint your exact location at any given time. This is a safety issue just like stranger danger and fire safety. Not talking about it can be detrimental. <i>When </i>to talk about it is easy: as soon as they have language skills. <i>How </i>to talk about it is a whole new ball game! Here are some tips that may be helpful in talking to your kids.<br />
<br /><i>5 Tips When Talking about Good Touch, Bad Touch:</i><br />
<br />1. <i>Empower them</i>. Make sure they know that they are in charge of their body. Use a powerful message like “I am the boss of my body!” This is also important so they understand that they need to care of their body to keep it healthy.<br /><br />2. <i>Teach Functions of Body Parts.</i> Talking about what feet, hands, mouth, etc. are used for is a good starting point with toddlers. For example, feet are for walking not for kicking, or hands are for playing/hugging not hitting. You can play a game about the functions where you say “A hand is for _____” and then you pause so they fill in the blank. A simple question/answer game would be appropriate too. <br /><br /><br />3. <i>Talk about Feelings</i>. As a therapist, how can I exclude this part? Introduce to your child simple feelings like happy, excited, sad, anger, embarrassed, and ashamed. Again, play games to help them understand the different feelings. You can show pictures, act out feelings, etc. Just use your imagination so your child understands the different feelings people have in different situations.<br /><br />4. <i>Link the Touch with Feelings</i>. Okay, because we are talking about very young children, this is the <i>only </i>time I would categorize feelings as “good” or “bad.” Otherwise, feelings are either “comfortable” or “uncomfortable.” Since this is an abstract concept, let us make it easier on our kids and ourselves in talking about these complex issues. For example, when someone uses their hands to hug us, does it feel “good” or “bad?” “How does it feel when someone uses their hands to hit us?” <br /><br /> Furthermore, you would want to add the component of stranger versus someone we know doing the touching like hugging, kissing on cheek/forehead, etc. Likewise, you would want to talk about how <i>nobody </i>is allowed to touch the private parts unless mommy or daddy is helping you wash up or change diapers. Again, reminding them that they are the boss of their own body is important to do even when it comes to people we know. Sadly, sex offenders tend to be people we know. Take a look at your state’s Sex Offender Registry and you will be shocked with what you find!<br />
<br />
<br />
5. <i>Keep the communication path open</i>. This refers to <i>all </i>communications, not just about touch. Your child needs to know that they can come to you if they are ever victimized or just have questions about touch. Ignoring or discounting their concerns and feelings is detrimental to their mental well-being for a very long time. Along the same lines,<i> never, ever, ever,</i> blame the victim! When you have a strong foundation for communication, your child will come to you when they need you. As a parent, it is in our hands to help or hinder this communication. <br /><br /></div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-22479926652586523832012-05-19T03:35:00.001-04:002012-05-19T03:35:27.804-04:00Handling Our Kids’ Craze with Brand Names (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This is a conversation that is long overdue! I am writing this post at 1:00 am Saturday morning because I couldn’t fall asleep as I lay in bed reflecting on this topic. Feel free to take it as evidence of how committed I am to my mission to empower parents everywhere. Moreover, it seems this has been the topic of conversation everywhere I go this week!<br />
<br /> On Monday, I am doing a presentation at my daughter’s school and this was a hot topic. Tuesday, I’m teaching a class at a nonprofit organization on bullying prevention and intervention, again this is becomes a lively discussion. Between Wednesday and Thursday, I cannot tell you how many times I turned on the radio or television, and it’s on my face. Lastly, on Friday I’m at a friend’s house for dinner and again, another engaging conversation ensues. If you have tweens and teens, this is an issue facing everyone regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, or culture. People have been asking my opinion about this issue and so here it goes.<br />
<br /> Our children, particularly our tweens and teens, are encountering this craze in the schools. In turn, this is causing a very different kind of craze in their homes. Both the kids and parents are placed in a very tough situation, especially for those families who are having difficulty making ends meet. Kids are begging their parents to buy the $100 pair of sneakers, $200 UGG boots, $200 iPhone, or whatever. In response, parents are giving in, trying every trick they can think of to resist this madness, or contemplating whether they ought to just buy it for their thirteen year old kid. So, how did we get to this point?<br />
<br /> We, as a society, created this social issue. At the risk of sounding hypocritical, I will just put it out there that, yes, I do enjoy my iPad 2 and iPhone. However, as a professional adult, I feel I have earned the privilege to own these products to carry out my professional and adult daily responsibilities. A thirteen year old has not. By the same token, I do not feel the child asking for these things is being a spoiled brat. My humble opinion points to three contributing factors: consumerism, branding, and social modeling.<br />
<br /> We are bombarded with consumerism. Buy,buy, buy. Bigger is better. Retail therapy. These are the messages, we as consumers, get when we turn on the television, radio, or surf the Internet. Shopping has become our favorite pastime. Every time I go to the mall, seeing the parking lots full and a mob of people everywhere, I think to myself: “Are we <i>really</i> in an economic downfall?” In 2010, I returned to the States having lived in Australia for one year and I remember the first day I visited the Giant supermarket like it was yesterday. It was an incredibly, overwhelming experience because of all the choices we had. There, if I wanted to buy orange juice, just walked into Woolies or Coles and picked one from a few selections. Here, there are atleast ten different kinds of orange juice on the shelf! We will not even get into the “middle aisles.”<br />
<br /> Branding has infiltrated our children’s minds. Please do not get me wrong. I have nothing against brand names, except when it breaks the bank and does something rather puzzling to our children’s brains. For this reason alone, I love using the “On Demand” and “DVR” features with my kids. We can fast forward the commercials to minimize branding. This possibly creates another problem, immediate gratification, but we will talk about that another time.<br />
<br /> Lastly, social modeling is when our children witness the adults they love and admire so much become obsessed with brand names themselves. This will impact our kids in ways that we do not want them to. This does not mean we should not purchase brand names. Rather, use caution and consider what messages we may be sending to our kids. If I can get an Adidas outfit for my son for only ten bucks at Costco, you bet I’ll grab it! Model smart shopping habits and your child will learn smart shopping habits. <br /><i> </i><br />
<i>Feel free to share this post up to this point with your tween or teen. Do not share the strategies below.</i> <i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>Cautionary note</i>: Do not use them all at the same time unless you absolutely have to. Listen to what is the root issue your child is dealing with and use the Talk that would best support your argument. <br />
<i> <br />5 Strategies to Handle Brand Names Craze:</i><br />
<br />1. <i> The Self-esteem Talk</i>. Cultivating a healthy self-esteem is at the core of diminishing the the obsession with brand names. Brand names symbolize importance and power. Talk to them about what is in the inside is more important than what is in the outside. Tweens and teens who have high self-esteem are better equipped to ward off these peer pressures.<br /><br />2. <i>The True Friends Talk</i>. If your child worries that he or she will not be liked because they don’t wear brand names then you need to have this talk. It may go something like this: “Honey, you are a great person and I love you no matter what. If your friends do not like you for who you are then you might want to reconsider whether you want them as friends. It is their loss, not yours.” <br /><br />3. <i>The Financial Talk</i>. Our culture has encouraged spending beyond our means mindset for too long. We have to take ownership and be responsible in changing this dangerous way of thinking. Suze Orman, a financial guru you may have heard of, has recently changed her motto from "staying within your means" to "staying <i>below</i> your means" in money management. If you cannot afford whatever your child wants, then research together how much it would cost to get that item. Then explain to them that the family budget does not allow this expense. Additionally, I strongly believe in the principle “Just because you can doesn’t mean you have to.” <br /><br />4. <i>The Need vs. Want Talk</i>. As a parent, you need to provide shoes for your child, but not a pair that costs $100. Openly talk about what we need versus what we want in our lives. By all means, have this self-talk when you get the urge to splurge.<br /><br />5. <i>The It’s Not Going to Happen Talk</i>. If all else fails, and your child will not let up then you just have to hold your ground. Be firm and let them know it just is not going to happen. If you cave in, not only is your credibility at stake, but their demands will get bigger and bigger. If you happen to give in, don’t fret because another opportunity will arise for you to stand your ground. If your child argues that you bought it last time, then you simply say that “it was a mistake then and it will not happen this time.” This is an opportunity to teach a very valuable lesson about money management and that we do not always get what we want in life. Entitlement is not a healthy trait!<br /></div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-918818810199053972012-05-16T18:46:00.004-04:002012-05-16T18:46:48.672-04:0010 Things You Need to Know about Stress Management: Part III (By Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
On the last post, the role of self-talk was extensively discussed. Here, the remaining six strategies will be covered: <br />
<br />5. <i>The empowerment of Choice</i>. <i>Choice</i> is the idea that we all have options in how we respond to situations. Every morning we wake up, we have a choice in how we will handle life. This is empowering. If you have ever heard your child say “I couldn’t help it.” or “I had no choice!” then this is not empowering. It puts you in a victim role. A person does not feel like he or she has control over one’s life. Over time, this is going to cause much distress and lead to somatic and mental health problems. <br />
<br />It is true that often times in life we are confronted with situations that are beyond our control, but we can <i>always</i> choose our responses to those circumstances. The choices may not be the ones we would prefer, but we do have them. For example, let’s say you are stuck in a traffic jam. Some of the choices you have in responding may be that you can honk your horn to let everyone know you are upset and all the while you may be cursing obscenities at nobody <i>and</i> at everybody. OR you can choose to listen to the music on the radio and enjoy some “down” time. The choice is ours to make. Just like the choice will be our child’s to make in school, neighborhood, park, etc. This way of thinking is called choice-response. It fosters responsibility and self-control, which are essential life skills. It is a healthy mindset to have in reducing distress.<br />
<br />6. <i>Reflect, not Ruminate</i>. <i>Reflection</i> is a skill of asking self-evaluative questions in an effort to improve things. It is a great teaching and learning strategy that is often neglected. <i>Rumination</i>, on the other hand, is a process where you repeatedly focus on the negative parts as a way of dealing with distress. This is unhealthy and perpetuates the vicious stress cycle. Some of the questions a parent may ask their child or ask themselves in reflection include: “What did I learn today? What could I have done differently? What can you do to accomplish this goal?” Reflection speaks to taking ownership of a situation or problem, which is a key in making change, such as reducing stress.<br /><br />7. <i>Good relationships</i>. Social isolation is a risk factor for emotional problems such as depression. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people is a protective factor in reducing stress. It is not about the quantity of friends you have rather the quality that makes the difference. While good relationships mitigate distress, bad ones augment it. <br /><br />8. <i>Be assertive.</i> Are you a passive, aggressive, or assertive communicator? Assertive people speak up for their rights without hurting others. They are comfortable saying “No” when necessary. Also, assertive people are good listeners and are very specific in communicating their needs and wants. This kind of communicator will experience distress at a lower rate than passive or aggressive communicators. One cautionary note: some cultures do not advocate assertive communication so taking one’s cultural background would be important, otherwise this may open doors to other stressful situations.<br /><br />9. <i>Get organized</i>. Clutter in the home, office, and car is stressful. De-cluttering is empowering and freeing. The first time I came back from a visit to Australia really made an impact in terms of clutter. There, I noticed that people lived very simply and were <i>happy</i>. This was also the first time I fully understood when my mother used to say “Simple living, high thinking” when growing up. After this visit, we got rid of “stuff” we collected over the years and boy was it ever freeing! Although I am fairly an organized person to begin with; however, this de-cluttering amplified the empowerment and significantly reduced distress! <br /><br />Additionally, an organizational skill is another life skill that will be necessary to function well in our home, job, school, relationships, etc. Early organizational skills we can teach our children include: having materials ready for school, list making, using calendars, categorizing toys, etc. Go through your closets, pantries, papers, basically the stuff you do not need or use AND give them away, throw away, or donate. Remember that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” If you do this, please come back to this post and comment on what that experience was like!<br />
<br />10. <i>Self-care</i>. I am sure you know how important this last concept is. Self-care includes healthy habits and leisure activities. Some examples include: exercise, good nutrition, no smoking, alcohol, and drugs, yoga, meditation, reading, deep breathing, etc. Picture the safety videos on an airplane where they emphasize that the parent wear the oxygen mask <i>before</i> applying it to the child. In other words, we have to first take care of ourselves before we can take care of others! <br /><br /> Happy De-stressing!!!!</div>The Empowered Parenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840460568928174377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2161952406991659862.post-71510362352160044092012-05-07T12:58:00.001-04:002012-05-07T12:58:47.068-04:0010 Things You Need to Know about Stress Management: Part II (Anshu Basnyat, LCPC)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Welcome back to Part II of the stress management series! Here, we will discuss the role of <i>self-talk</i> in our stress process. This concept is <i>so</i> important that only this topic will be covered at this time. If you understand this concept and have faith in it, you will have the secret to<i> significantly </i>reducing stress in almost any situation!<br />
<br /> In our last point in the previous post, we understood how stress develops in our body according to the A-B-C Model. In particular, the critical role our belief system plays in perpetuating the stress cycle. When we talk about our beliefs, we are basically referring to what is called self-talk. <i>Yes</i>, we all practice self-talk and <i>No</i>, we are <i>not </i>crazy for doing so! Everybody does this, whether it is silently or aloud. There two kinds of self-talk: positive and negative. For example, let’s say your child is trying out for a sports team. Your child can either engage in a positive self-talk like “I can do this” or a negative one such as “I can’t do this.” Which do you think will result in better outcomes?<br />
<br /> Going back to the A-B-C model, when our beliefs (B) consist of positive self-talk, the consequence (C) is a positive outcome. Conversely, when we practice negative self-talk, the consequence is a negative outcome (e.g. distress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, etc.). The good news is that we have control over our self-talk! If someone practices negative self-talk on a regular basis, they can learn to reprogram themselves to use positive self-talk to yield positive results. It is<i> not</i> an easy task at first, but with practice it <i>will</i> become second nature. The first step is to identify what kind of negative self-talk is the culprit. There are four main types: the worrier, the critic, the victim, and the perfectionist.<br />
<br />
<br /> <i>The Worrier</i> constantly worries and imagines the worst-case scenario. You can spot a worrier because they often use “What if...?" self-talk. This way of thinking promotes<i> </i>anxiety. <i>The Critic</i> focuses on the negative qualities of self and others. Mistakes often mean failure, which promotes low self-esteem. <i>The Victim </i>often feels helpless or hopeless and perceives obstacles get in the way of achieving a goal. Understandably, this fuels depression. <br />
<br /> Lastly, ah <i>The Perfectionist</i>! For many reasons I cannot get into here, this is my favorite one so will devote two, whole paragraphs on this type. Many people strive to be one, but cannot be! Our society seems to admire and cultivate this type of thinkers, but what they do not realize is that <i>not </i>only is this an unhealthy goal, but unattainable as well. Simply because no-one-is-perfect! This type of negative self-talker pushes and provokes self to do better. Sure, wanting to do better is a good thing, but when it crosses that line and drives you to the point where you cannot function in your daily routines effectively <i>then</i> it becomes unhealthy. You can easily recognize The Perfectionist because they often use words like “should, have to, must, etc.!” <br />
<br /> Additionally, The Perfectionist tries to convince his or herself that their self-worth is based on external factors such as money, social status, designer clothing, acceptance by others, etc. This undoubtedly promotes chronic distress and burnout. Furthermore, when someone becomes that stressed out, their performance will be negatively impacted. This is why schools recommend that you get plenty of rest and good nutrition rather than studying hard the night just before the big test. It is a close cousin of The Critic, but not as concerned with putting themselves down. Don’t lose hope because it is possible to learn alternative ways of believing! <br />
<br /> Negative self-talk is a behavior. Like any behavior, you can unlearn and replace with new ones. <i>Countering</i> is a therapeutic technique used in cognitive-behavioral therapy to challenge your negative self-talk. You basically ask questions such as: “What is the evidence for this?” “Is this <i>always </i>true?” “Am I being fully objective?” After you pose countering questions, you then would use counterstatements to replace your negative self-talk. <br />
<br /> <i>Counterstatements</i> are positive statements in your belief system to replace negative self-talk. This is why the power of positivity is so important to understand and practice. At the end of the day, the validity of negative self-talk has nothing to do with how attached you are to them or how ingrained they might be (Bourne, 2000). In other words, just because you say the negative things over and over, does not make them true! Rather, the validity depends on whether they hold true under careful, objective scrutiny. This is a powerful way of thinking! <br />
<br /> There are some things to consider when you use counterstatements. These are The Rules:<br />
<br />1. <b>Avoid negatives</b>. <br />DO: “I am confident and calm about taking the test.”<br />DON’T: “I’m not going to panic when I take the test.”<br /><br />2. <b>Keep them in the present tense</b>.<br />DO: “I can breathe and let these feelings pass.”<br />DON’T: “I will feel better in a few minutes.”<br /><br />3. <b>Whenever possible, keep it in the <i>first</i> person</b><i>.</i><br />DO: “I can do this.”<br />DON’T: “You can do this.”<br /><br />4. <b> Have some <i>belief</i> in your positive self-talk or it’s not effective</b>. Simply replacing a negative self-talk with a positive one just because it is positive is <i>not</i> going to work. We all have to first believe that we can do it before we can <i>actually</i> do it. Okay, since I am not a huge fan of telling someone <i>not </i>do something without providing alternatives, here are some examples of counterstatements to get you started!<br />
<br /><i><u>Examples of Counterstatements</u></i><br />So what, I can handle this.<br />I’ll get used to this with practice.<br />This may be scary, but I can tolerate a little stress.<br />This too shall pass.<br />I can retreat if necessary.<br />I’m O.K. the way I am.<br />I’m a unique and creative person.<br />I deserve the good things in life as much as anyone else.<br />I am worthy of the respect of others.<br />I don’t have to be all better tomorrow.<br />I can continue to make progress one step at a time.<br />I gave it my best efforts.<br />It’s O.K. to make mistakes.<br />I am a good parent/daughter/son/husband/wife/etc.<br />
Change can be good.<br />It’s never too late to change.<br />

<br />
This is one of three parts to the stress management series. Since stress management is such a vast area of discussion, writing it in one post would result in a very lengthy article. Understanding that verbosity can lose an audience, will chunk it. Main focus here will be on the two types of stress, the power of positivity, and the A-B-C theory of how stress develops. When people usually talk about stress management, they seem to automatically talk about good nutrition and exercise. Although these practices are important in reducing stress, the objective here is to give you a different perspective on how to understand and manage stress. By the end of the series, you will know ten things about managing stress!<br />
<br />
1. <i>There are two types of stress</i>. For simplicity sake, <i>eustress</i> is the “good” kind whereas <i>distress</i> is the “bad” kind. Sort of like good and bad cholesterol. This does not represent stressor types, but rather our <i>perception</i> about the stressor that determines whether it is good or bad for us. Therefore, a stressor can result in both eustress and distress. It pretty much depends on how the individual perceives the stressor to be. A positive challenge or a negative threat? <br />
<br />
For example, getting a new job is a stressor. John may view this as an exciting opportunity to learn new things and be challenged in which case this would be considered eustress. Joe, on the other hand, may perceive the new job as a negative threat where he will have to get out of his comfort zone and learn new things...argh! This creates anxiety for Joe, so this same stressor, would now be considered distress. As you see from this example, how the same stressor has different effects on two different people depending on one's perception. <br />

2. <i>The power of positivity</i>. When we feel better, we do better. Positive attitude reduces stress and improves relationships. When we send positive messages to our children, it elevates, encourages, and fosters growth. Conversely, negative messages eat away at their self-worth. <br />
<br />
Imagine that you are a child for a minute, and your parent wants you to first finish your homework before going outside. Your parent either says “You can’t go outside unless you finish your homework,” or “When you finish your homework, you can go outside.” Which sounds better? The underlying message is the same, but one presents it in a negative fashion and the other in a positive way. Regardless of age, presenting things with positivity will be less threatening and likely to yield better results.<br />
<br />
Another power of positivity is this idea called the <i>law of attraction</i>. <i>The Secret</i> by Rhonda Byrne, is a book that later inspired a movie, is based on this principle. It derives from physics which basically states that people are like magnets. They are attracted to positive forces. If you know of anyone who attracts a lot of people in their lives, then they are probably operating under this principle. They tend to be positive people and people want to be around them. The flip side being is that negative people ward off people. I'm sure you know some of those folks too! This has implications for reducing stress as it will be discussed later. When it comes to our children, they just need to understand that positivity wins more friends and results in better outcomes in many situations. <br />
<br />
Lastly, another concept related to positivity is what is called in psychology as a <i>self-fulfilling prophecy</i>. This basically means that our beliefs about our self and others will determine our actions towards self and others. In other words, we live up to whatever is expected of us. A classic example of this would be when a teacher hears negative or positive things about an incoming student from a past teacher, then the new teacher’s expectations for that student will be influenced by that information. Hence, the student will live up to those expectations, negative or positive. As parents, it becomes key to communicate the positive qualities about our children to their teachers along with qualities they may need to improve. When I worked as a school-based clinician, I heard too many times from parents that they cannot think of a single, positive quality about their child. This speaks volumes. The more we practice positive attitudes and behaviors, the quicker we can draw them from our memory!<br />

3. A-B-C Theory of Stress. Below is a pictorial representation of how stress develops. In any situation (A=Activators) a person has certain beliefs (B=Beliefs) about that situation. Depending on those beliefs, the person will either feel eustress or distress (C=Consequence). The good news is that we have control over our beliefs! Understanding this process will help us to better manage our stress. This will be a good segue into the second part of the stress management series.<br />
<br />
A > B > C <br />
<br />
A= Activators (any situation)<br />
B= Beliefs (positive/negative self-talk)<br />
C= Consequences (positive/negative outcome)<br />
