From Focus on the Family Have your children learned to take responsibility for their actions? Better yet, have you learned it? It is amazing how often we blame others for the things that happen to us. And it is not just a problem with children — I know a lot of adults who can’t seem to accept guilt when things go wrong. But part of growing is learning these five key principles of responsibility. We’ll call them the five “As” of accepting blame. First, admit when you do something wrong. Everyone makes bad choices and the first step in overcoming them is being honest about it. Second, apologise for how your transgression affected others. Make it right if you can. Third, accept the consequences of your actions. And don’t expect others to pay for your mistake. Fourth, ask for forgiveness. Just because you’ve apologised, don’t assume that others have forgotten how you hurt them. Fifth, alter your choices in the future. Decide now how you plan to do things differently the next time...

Image via Wikipedia By Dr Bill Maier More than one in five kids today are affected by dyslexia. The good news is, it can be treated once it’s identified. Recent research shows that dyslexic kids can almost always overcome it by using a phonics based reading programme . Many schools today use a reading curriculum called “whole language”, which basically depends on the child’s ability to memorise thousands of words and their sounds individually. The problem is, dyslexic kids don’t respond to this type of learning. They need a programme that teaches them to decode each word one syllable at a time. Phonics breaks down the English language into 42 basic sounds, which is much more manageable. There are a lot of good phonics programmes on the market. You can look on the Internet , and talk to your child’s teacher to see what you can do at home to help them through this problem.
