It’s every pre-adolescent’s question when he goes to the dentist: “Will I need to get braces?” Not all children do, of course, but many will. American culture values straight, white teeth and dazzling smiles, but there is a health component to having a smile corrected as well. Here are some basics about braces.

Although most dentists are qualified to put on braces, it is a better idea to go to an orthodontist. Orthodontists get an additional 3-4 years after medical school, and they are experts when it comes to correcting malocclusions. However, a dentist is qualified to recommend the best time for a child to consult with an orthodontist: usually when the patient is between the ages of 11 and 13.

Braces are not useful for cosmetic reasons only: there are numerous health problems that can arise if orthodontia is not used to correct certain conditions. Correctly aligned teeth are much easier to clean properly, and thereby reduce the chances of suffering from unnecessary tooth decay or gum disease. Some people have misaligned joints in their jaw that can lead to debilitating headaches and even neck pain.

Today’s older parents remember when getting braces subjected them to being called all kinds of derogatory names such as “metal mouth,” “tin grin “and” brace face.” Fortunately, today’s orthodontic patients do not have to go through the same misery as their parents or even their grandparents did: there are many choices in braces to fit just about any kind of dental situation.

All braces, no matter what type, operate in the same basic way: they apply artificial pressure to the teeth and jaw to make them shift positions. Rubber bands may also be used to add additional pressure. How long the braces remain on is a highly individualized matter: two years or so is probably a good ballpark figure.

Here are the most common types of braces:

– Mini braces are the most commonly used corrective appliances for teenagers. The principle under which they operate is the same as the old “tinsel teeth” versions; they are just much smaller and less intrusive. The relatively lower cost of these makes them an attractive option.

– Clear braces look and operate just like mini braces except that they are much less visible. Made from porcelain composite material, they are designed to blend with a tooth’s natural color so that it looks like they’re not even there.

– Lingual braces are mini braces that are attached behind the teeth rather than in front. These cost more but patients like the fact that they are virtually undetectable.

– Removable braces, more commonly known under the brand name Invisalign, are a popular choice for adults but they are becoming more popular with teens as well. They look like a mouth guard, and all aligners are made ahead of time. The patient progresses from one to another, over a series of about 20 aligners, until the teeth are straight.

Children need fathers. No matter how old the child is or how bad the relationship has been in the past. If you, as a father, have relinquished the reins of guidance because of absence you need to step back into the picture. Many men are uncomfortable mentoring, guiding, teaching and yes, loving their own children. they assume that the step-dad, teacher or coach will step in to teach their sons the ways of male-dom.

Being a Dad is a sacred calling and the minute your sperm connected with the egg, you were committed to being responsible. You also have a calling to support and encourage not only your children, but those in the community, to grow and develop their talents and abilities.

Absent-Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually?

In my work as a parent educator, I see many men who are confused about how to show love. Many are absent in the lives of their children and want to connect but don’t know how. Some feel that because they left the child or family and moved on, then so did they. No, the child has a hole in their heart for the love of a Dad and needs to know you care.

The child may rebuff your efforts or act as if they did not care, but they do. They need you to validate them as important people. Here are some simple ways to connect and say I love you when you are not in their lives daily.

1. Start calling them once a week. If you say you will call on Thursday night, then do it. Model how mature people keep their promises.

2. Drop a card in the mail. It can say “thinking of you.”

3. Instead of writing a letter, if that is hard for you, make a recording of you telling a story.

4. Send a gift package of little things they enjoy. What is their favorite kind of gum, candy, magazine? Ask them, then send them a love pack.

5. Have a copy made of a photo of them and write on the back why you miss them. In fact make copies of a lot of photos and send to them. They will enjoy seeing them again.

6. Make a list of 10 things you admire about them.

7. Make a list of 10 questions you have always wondered about them and ask them to send the completed list back to you.

8. Tell them about your feelings when they were born.
Everyone loves to hear the story of their birth.

9. Send them flowers or a balloon bouquet at school.

10. Say the words “I love you and I will always love you.” to them.

Parents assume that the child knows they are loved because there is food on the table and a roof over their heads. But, children need to be told that the love is unconditional and never ending.

Begin Today To Say I Love You

Begin today to speak encouraging words to the children in your circle of influence. If you do not know the words to say, then get a free book on my website that is titled Use Encouraging Words. It is a gift to you as you assume your calling as a Father and tell your children that you love them.

In the last 45 years, suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide. Now, suicide is among the 3 leading causes of death for youths aged 15- 24.

Suicide attempts are up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicides. While girls tend to make more attempts, boys succeed more often.

The reason is that boys have a tendency to use guns which are far more irrevocable than overdosing with sleeping pills.

As parents and teachers, we need to be more aware about the threat suicide is to our adolescent population. Teen suicide is a problem that requires our vigilance and attention.

The problem is that teens often go through periods of moodiness and anxiety; there is a tendency on our parts to dismiss warning signs as “just puberty.” Emotional disturbance or depression can be a catalyst for suicide.

What are some signs of depression in your teen?

-Behavior problems at school. Any kind of unusual behavior is a red flag. Consult teachers about your child’s situation at school.

-withdrawing from family and friends. This is especially important when the behavior is not typical or your teen. Encourage him or her to discuss negative or fearful feelings.

-Complaints of headaches, tiredness or generally not feeling well. If complaints persist, take your teen to the doctor for a thorough checkup.

-Loss of interest in school. Even a shift from B’s to D’s can be a signal of potential problems.

-Drugs and Alcohol use. This is a red flag that requires attention.

-Sleep changes, whether they are oversleeping or insomnia, can be signs of anxiety and depression.

-Changes in eating habits, whether they be overeating or under-eating also require attention.

-Disinterest in a favorite hobby or activity.

-Lack of attention to personal hygiene or personal appearance is often a “Why Care?” signal.

-Does not respond to praise or seems upset when praised.

Be mindful of the fact that teenagers are going through emotional fluctuations and hormonal changes, so not all signs indicate teen suicide.

However, there are 5 definite signs that are indications that a suicide plan is in place and that immediate intervention is needed.

Five Teen Suicide Warning Signs

1.Makes frequent references to death or expresses a desire to kill himself or herself.

2.Verbal hints such as “In case something happens to me, I want you….”

3.Writes suicide notes and leaves them around.

4.Preoccupation with songs of death, websites about death or killing oneself.

5.Gives favorite possessions away.

What are some Risk Factors for Teen Suicide?

-Breakup in a romantic relationship

-Recent loss of a friend or family member

-Loss of a parent due to divorce

-Abuse

-Victim of Bullying

-Unplanned Pregnancy

-Problem with the law

The best antidote to suicidal behavior is providing our youth with the sense that no matter how terrible one’s situation may be, there is a way out and there is support.

We must ensure that communication between us and our teens remain strong and committed. They must know that there are people who care, who will not judge them for what they have done and will be there to help them pick up the pieces.

If your son or daughter is getting ready to pack up and head off to college, don’t forget to pack a little health insurance along with the futons and orange crates. After all, the student lifestyle of late nights, one-the-run nutrition, and germ-infested dorms is more than likely to require a few trips to the doctor.

But what is the best way to insure your student’s health? The answer to that question depends on the type and quality of your existing healthcare plan. Here are four options you may want to consider.

1. Use the Student Health Plan — Some families opt for the medical plan offered by the college. While this is a viable option if you don’t have an existing health plan, it’s important to realize that these college-sponsored health plans offer extremely limited benefits. While a student plan will usually pay for trips to the college health center, they usually charge up to 70 percent more, plus a deductible for additional medical care or testing, such as lab work, X-rays and prescriptions. In addition, most student health plans only cover care received at the student health center, meaning a trip to emergency room could be financially devastating.

2. Use Your Current Health Plan — One alternative is to skip the student health insurance and keep you son or daughter on your own health plan. However, if your current plan is available to you through your employer, there is a good chance it is an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization). An HMO is the most restrictive type of health plan when it comes to choosing your doctors and medical treatment centers, and if your son or daughter attends school in another city or state, he or she will most likely need a referral to see a physician while at school.

3. Change Your Health Plan to a PPO –If an HMO is too restrictive for your current needs, this may be a good time to switch to a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) that provides more flexibility in the healthcare providers you use. To receive maximum coverage, you need to use an in-network doctor, but your student would have the option of going out-of-network by making a small co-payment.

4. Change Your Health Plan to a combo HDHP/HSA — You may have been reading about the benefits of the Health Savings Account (HSA) ever since it was first introduced by the Bush administration in 2003. An HSA allows you combine a High Deductible Health Plan with a designated savings account funded with pre-tax dollars. You use a debit card to access the account when you need to pay out-of-pocket medical expenses. This combination HDHP/HSA plan is a good strategy if you’re self-employed and don’t have an existing health plan, and it also provides good flexibility for both you and your student. But it works best when you have only occasional medical expenses, so if you or your student have chronic health problems that require frequent trips to the doctor or numerous prescriptions, it’s best to opt for a traditional like an HMO or PPO.

Of course, you can always provide your son or daughter with a low-cost individual insurance policy. (Consider it an early graduation gift!) While not the cheapest choice, it is an excellent way to provide your student with security throughout the college years. After graduation, they can choose to maintain the policy on their own if they aren’t covered by an employer-provided health plan.

According to Dr. Venus Nicolini, society is suffering from a bad case of empathy deficit. This, she states, is the reason for the increasing incidents of family assaults and school violence.

The whole emphasis on competition, self-serving materialism, the ME generation of the past forty years has taken its toll. What value does western culture place on empathy?

Consider these factors.

a) The Internet has lessened social interaction. Social networking sites have made possible online interaction which by its very nature is only skin deep. How deep can conversations be when they are published for all to see? Social networking sites are geared more towards sharing recent photos and the latest downloads - activities that reinforce the self indulgent mindset of the Me generation.

b) Until the recent economic crisis, western culture has been immersed in the cult of the material things. The “good life” in western society is making money (tons of it) and buying things (toys). Compare this to many eastern cultures where the community itself is a social value. The good life is living in balance with oneself, others and all life-forms.

c) The cult of the self and self-actualization has made us narcissistic: everything revolves around living our dreams, pursuing our dreams. The point is not that we should stop trying to achieve our dreams; the point is that we should ask ourselves this question: at what expense? It is a question we all need to examine. What price have we paid for wanting it all?

d) Empathy deficit is creating a “tsunami of societal violence,”says expert Mary Gordon. Empathy is the basic step we have to take before we can understand the true meaning of altruism. Without empathy, there is no altruism, no volunteer work, no donations to the needy. Without empathy, children tend towards bullying, fighting and self-serving manipulation.

e) School violence is a sad reflection of the larger society. And we adults are largely responsible for what is now becoming an epidemic of violence worldwide.

What can we do about it?

We can live by example. We can treat everyone we see with more respect, love and genuine empathy. We can choose to look at the “big picture” rather than fuming over what are often inconsequential slights.

We can teach our children and grandchildren the importance of feelings and how they can be attenuated by changing our thoughts. We can help them see perspectives from another set of eyes, get them involved in acts of altruism - donating toys to children who have none, making them aware of children in other countries who are often homeless and starving.

It is up to us - the parents, grandparents and teachers - to help our children cultivate a sense of caring. Even caring for flowers in the garden or a family pet are steps towards a culture of empathy.

Cyberbullying is fast becoming a serious threat to young people because it can kill. Cases of adolescents committing suicide because of nameless, faceless online threats are becoming a growing concern. A case in point is that involving a male teenager who was bullied because of his sexual orientation. Another case involved a thirteen year old girl whose suicide was the result of a malicious hoax perpetrated by the mother of the victim’s friend. According to the National Crime Prevention Center, cases of cyberbullying are on the rise.

What Do Statistics Tell Us about Cyberbullying?

Over 40% of all teenagers with internet access have reported being bullied online. However, only 10% of children bullied reported the incident to their parents. Only 18% of the cases were reported to a local or national law enforcement agency.

While only 9% of children ages 10-17 experienced online threats in 2000, the percentage has risen to 50% by 2008. One possible reason is the increase in use of the internet as a vehicle for socializing and the increased technical dexterity of teenagers who do use the internet.

The most common virtual sites for cyberbullying are chat rooms, social networking sites and instant messaging systems.These are all online communication sites popular with the younger set today. Cell phones and digital cameras are also becoming a growing concern. An increasing number of teenagers are worried that photos may be taken of them without their consent with the use of cell-phone cameras.

What Can Be Done About Cyberbullying?

The best solution is education. The internet is fast becoming a powerful tool for socializing and dissemination of information. Children must be taught the basics of personal privacy, respect for others and consequences of actions. Very often, children are deceived by the sense of anonymity communication over the internet seems to suggest. After all, they can sign in with a different name or use avatars without revealing their own identities. They think that just because their identities are not obvious to the victim, the crime has been “erased.”

Parents need to be more vigilant about their children’s use of the internet. How often do we really monitor what our teenager is doing at the computer? Adult supervision, as well as intervention, not only helps to educate our young people about a medium that is becoming more and more explosive, it encourages them discern the difference between using a tool for social benefit and using a tool for social aggression.

Like the car and alcohol, the internet is something we, as parents, must own responsibility for in terms of safe use and access by our children.

Teen anger can be more difficult to deal with than child anger. Teen anger stems from more complex stimuli than fighting over a toy, yet the basics remain the same with the exception of raging hormones. Anger management is more intense with teenagers because they have already developed their own coping responses. Some of these responses are probably not very effective and need to be reworked. Rewiring these responses can take a lot of patience, consistency, and time; sadly, however, many parents will resort to medicating their teens for a quick fix. Although medication is a viable option, it does not change ingrained behaviors. Medication should only be used to lessen the severity of anxiety issues so that you, as parents, can more easily reinforce proper anger management techniques either through your own efforts of those of a trained professional.

Angry teens can provoke anger in adults; this, in turn, can reinforce already ingrained, negative responses. Teen anger can manifest in several ways. It can appear verbally as abusive and foul language, rude comments, degrading remarks; physically as punches and strikes at others around them or destruction of property; emotionally as poor school performance, attendance, dropping out of sports or other activities once enjoyed, avoidance of friends and family through isolation and withdrawal. Teen anger can also surface as self-injury through self-mutilation, starvation, drug and alcohol use, reckless driving, even attempts at suicide.

However, regardless of the severity of the anger issues in your teens, there is help available. If you need professional consultation, school is a good place to start. Ask for referrals to school psychologists. Sometimes professional help is necessary, especially when anger manifests as serious illnesses like bipolar disorders, conduct disorders or intermittent anger disorders.

There are also many anger management techniques you can incorporate into your home life that can encourage your teenagers to deal with anger issues in an effective and rational manner. You can also ask school personnel to participate in the strategies used with your teens. It is never too late to start instilling positive anger management practices in your teenagers. If you sense that professional help is not needed, here are some avenues that you can use to help your teens learn to deal with anger.

a) Role model proper anger management skills at every opportunity.

b)Teach your teens ways to relax physically and emotionally, such as meditation, taking deep breaths, repeated flexing of muscles and counting or repeating positive phrases.

c)Increase your teens’ self-esteem and confidence levels through praise whenever you can. Too often adults are quick to snap at the negative and forget to praise the positives.

d)Encourage your teens to write down their feelings. They can choose to keep their writings private or share with you their thoughts; or they may, after writing out their anger, rip the pages up and let the anger go.

If your teens are artistic, you could encourage them to express anger through drawing or painting. This is another good way for them to release their anger in a controlled and cathartic manner.

Encourage your teens to”run” their anger out of their system. Or encourage them to go to a gym and “work it out.” Getting involved in a martial arts program is also another great option. A solid program of martial arts teaches self control, which is very effective for anger management issues.

Lifestyle options like those above provide your teens with the opportunity to deal with anger in a holistic way. They also emphasize the understanding that anger is a life issue and learning how to handle life issues is part of being human. Be sure to follow through with proper anger management techniques in your own life to set a proper example. Remember, a negative response to anger is a learned behavior and new and more effective approaches to anger can be taught.

If you smoke cigarettes, most of the time your kids will smoke also. You can try to change this cycle by doing several things. Even if you find out you have a child or teen smoker, it is still not too late to change it. One thing you could try to get this child to quit is for you to quit yourself. There can be no better way to show them that you know how bad smoking is. As quitting is really hard for some people, seeing your child or teen smoke should be the incentive you need to quit. If you do not smoke and discover your teen is smoking, it might be harder for you to understand what the attraction is to smoking.

Some people think that you need to scare them into quitting or never starting. Sometimes it might work and sometimes not. Talking to them on their level is usually the best way to handle this. If you have a family member that might have some health problems because they smoke cigarettes, you might ask them to speak to your kids. Try to make them understand that these do not do a thing for them but make them sick or end up killing them. Try to make them understand that these things do not make them tough or cool or whatever they are calling it these days.

If you smoke, tell them why you started and that you wished that you never had. You might try to make them understand that the only reason you started was to fit in and most of them are now gone. The cancers from these can hit any part of their bodies not only their lungs and they really should be told this before they could be asked by their friends to smoke one. In most cases of this the child doing the smoking will usually continue smoking. If they understand the bad side of this they might not start.

There are several types of medicines to help you quit. There are also nicotine gum, patches to put on your skin but these also have some really bad side-affects so you really should go see your doctor first. He might be able to prescribe some medicine that will actually help. Some of you can quit cold-turkey and for some people this is the best way, but others just can not do it. If you are a heavy smoker, then try slowing down gradually. This way will take longer, but you might be able to handle the stress easier and prevent yourself from starting back. This might not stop your teen from smoking, but at least you will stop and it could be what they need to stop as well.

If you are a parent the last thing you ever want your kids to do is smoke cigarettes? You would probably not be surprised to find out that you are among thousands of other parents that agree with you. Some smokers have made it too easy for their children to start smoking because they do it around them all the time. Boys think it makes them look tough and the girls think it just makes them look cool to the boys. Smoking cigarettes certainly is not cool and thankfully, there are some kids today who are getting that message, but there are still others who are not and they will smoke. Many of you smoked when you were young and chances are your children will do the same thing whether you want them to or not.

As parents, whether you smoke yourself or not, it is your responsibility to convince your kids to never start smoking. You should not smoke in front of them anymore even if you always have. You should show them that you are making an effort to quit because the old saying do as I say and not as I do rarely works especially with teenagers. In some cases you might not even find out about them smoking until they have been doing it for months. They might hide their cigarettes with their friends or at school or even their friends cars.

If you think that your child is smoking, have them sit down with you and talk it over with them. Try to make them understand that you are not happy about this and that you wish they had not even started. Do not go screaming at them because this will kill the chance of them listening to you at all. Try to make them understand that they smoking is never good and that doing this will only shorten their life spans. One way to get a teenager to stop smoking if you smoke yourself, is to tell them you will stop together. There would be no better way to convince them that you fully understand the consequences of smoking and that if you expect them to not smoke, then you will not either.

If you smoke cigarettes and your teens have not tried it yet, now would be a good time for you to show your strength and quit. This might be the best deterrent to prevent them from ever taking up this deadly habit. It will not be a bad thing for you wither.

As soon as you’ve passed the age of 22 or 23, it’s becomes all too easy to hate teenagers. It’s almost universal; some people don’t even admit to having teenage kids on their internet dating profile, if they can help it! Sure, you used to be a teenager yourself (whether it be 5 or 50 years ago), but now you can hardly understand what they’re about. Really, they’re just people, after all. Kids can act like proper human beings. And of course adults can, too. So why do teenagers feel the need to live in a world of silliness, sloth, and irresponsibility?

Okay, okay I can be fair. Of course not all teenagers fit that precise description; some are responsible, respectful, and great to be around. But the truth is, most of us can pinpoint the point in our lives when we behaved our very worst. And chances are that point fell between the ages of 13 and 20.

If you’re the parent of a difficult teenager, the following revelation may fill you with relief or it might fill you with distress: teenagers have a physical excuse for acting like semi-humans for five to eight years of their lives. And it’s not just that they’re “still figuring things out.” The behavior of kids of a certain age is in a large part dictated by their biology. And that biology, for some reason, tells teenage kids to do a lot of things that their parents find insufferable.

Laziness

Is getting your teenage child out of bed in the morning like pulling teeth (something that, when they act like this, you wish you could do literally)? It’s not just because they’re lazy or want to make you angry. It’s also partly because teenagers need more sleep than adults do. Getting enough sleep is an important part of learning, of growing, of repairing the body, and of dealing with emotional stimuli. And the time in a person’s life where they experience a lot of this? Their teenage years, of course. During puberty, a teenager’s brain has to reorganize itself, and getting a bit of extra sleep helps it to do this.

As well as needing more sleep, a teenager’s tendency to stay up later and get up later are also based in their biology. According to neuroscientists, the way a teenager’s brain works changes their circadian rhythm, setting it two hours behind that of a normal adult. When 6:00 AM feels like 4:00 AM and 12:00 PM feels like only 10:00, it makes a certain amount of sense that kids prefer to stay up late– and prefer not to get up early.

Slobbery

Unless you know some very conscientious teenagers, chances are walking into a teenager’s room is something you’d avoid doing at any cost. Sure, some teenage kids are tidy and neat (generally because they’re taught by parents that this is important). But in reality, the ones a little on the slobby side don’t generally behave this way willfully. With so much going on in their lives emotionally (remember crying over a school dance invitation or stressing about your lack of facial hair?), keeping things clean just doesn’t seem important to them. When they get older and can focus on other things, it’s a lot easier for kids to clean up their act.

Risky Behavior

I remember getting my driver’s license at the age of 16– and it’s a memory that gives my adult self a little shudder of fear. How did I survive those high speeds in the pouring rain with five of my yelling, giggling friends crammed into the back seat? And why on Earth did I act that way in the first place?

Actually, the reason was in my brain. When a teenager’s brain is developing –and it does a lot of that during their teenage years– it doesn’t tend to develop at an even pace. This means some parts of the brain will develop more quickly than others. In teenagers, the areas of the brain that encourage feelings of emotion and gratification often develop before the “cautious” part of the brain –the one that says “sure a rainy day drag race would be fun, but it might kill me too, so I’ll pass”– can catch up.

Dealing with teenagers isn’t always a lot of fun. And while it can be difficult to have much perspective when you’re being ignored or rebelled against at every turn, it’s important to try. We were all teenagers once– and most of us acknowledge it as one of the very most difficult times in our lives. No, treating your teenager with calm and understanding probably won’t make them rebel against you any less. But it can definitely help you to stay calmer and be happier… and when you’re dealing with teenage kids, what more can you ask for?
