A Child Psychologist’s Top 10 Wishes for Parents in 2012

Tolstoy famously wrote “Happy families are all alike, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Modern psychological science supports this wisdom in findings that extend back for decades and traverse the globe. My work has focused on trying to distill this research into 10 effective and time-efficient strategies that hectic parents can use to promote wellness, happiness and resilience in their children and themselves.

So, my wish for parents in 2012 is to practice these 10 strategies (each of which constitutes a chapter in my parenting book Working Parents, Thriving Families: 10 Strategies That Make a Difference). Here they are:

Fluoride is a Poison – How Does Fluoride Affect Health

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, fluoride IS a toxic poison. Fluoride added to water supplies is NOT pharmaceutical grade fluoride. Not even close. The negative health affects of consuming fluoride via water fluoridation, fluoride toothpastes, mouthwashes, rinses, fluoride supplements, vitamins etc etc, are well known and proven to be a fact.

Just a few days ago I happened to notice the cover story of a dental magazine by the ADA called “ADA News”, mentioning how a town in Florida had recently voted 3-2 to keep their municipal water supply fluoridated. See it here. What do the two people who voted against continuing adding fluoride to the town’s water supply know about fluoride that the other three do not know or choose to ignore? What about all the people that live in that town? Do the citizens not have a right to choose if they want toxic chemicals forcibly added to their water supply against their consent, and perhaps even without their informed knowledge?

Multiple Intelligences – Understanding Different Types of Learning Styles

Multiple Intelligences. No, I’m not talking about life-forms outside of Earth; I’m talking about the numerous ways that we, humans, learn new things by our different learning styles. I’ve only had 2 days of classes, and my Critical Thinking class feels more like a really fun Psychology class than anything else. I love psychology so, when it’s brought up in class, I get really excited.

We’re in our second week of school (out of 8 weeks) and we just read a chapter in the book that talks about Multiple Intelligences. There are 8 forms of dominant intelligences, 3 learning styles, and 8 personality styles – all which makes up the theory of Multiple Intelligences.

Safely Remove Mercury Amalgam Fillings: Mercury Free & Safe Dentistry

As an experienced dental professional who began having serious misgivings and doubt about the safety and effectiveness of dental treatments such as fluoride and mercury fillings, learning about the toxic and harmful effects of both fluoride and (silver) mercury amalgam fillings caused me to seek out professional dentists and specialists who have written books and published numerous articles regarding these practices for their expert advice for my readers.

Why? Despite the fact that I’ve been in dentistry for many years, it was only about a year ago that I began to question and doubt various dental procedures and began to do my own independent research on certain dental procedures and treatments. Being “just” a professional, licensed Registered Dental Assistant and Office Manager for many years, versus a professional dentist or dental specialist, it was and is important to me to provide my readers with information provided by dental experts who have gone to great lengths to inform the public and professional colleagues about the dangers and harmful effects of fluoride, mercury fillings, etc.
