The Problem Is: The Landscape

There are a few general challenges parents are faced with regarding the raising of new Human beings in today’s world.

the dysfunctional condition of current civilization.
the possible conflicts between the major sources of primary influences.
the uniqueness of each individual Human

These are the major elements that make up the landscape or environment within which we as parents must somehow raise our children. I say somehow because it all seems so overwhelming sometimes. Why do they not come with an instruction manual? And if they did, why can’t I ever find the damn thing?

Current Civilization

This is a huge subject so I can only address the issues that are relevant to parenting. Global values, or the lack of them, are the issue here. The value of life and the quality of life has somehow been replaced with the values of an economic system of exchange. Meaningful values that endure over time have been eroded by the evolution of a single minded obsession with all things shallow and superficial. I suspect that this obsession is part of our strategy to avoid our responsibility for the condition our condition is in, but where parenting is concerned, if we as parents are sending a different message from that of the entire civilization, there is the first major conflict of influence.

While it is probably true that a young Human in the earliest years doesn’t have the expanded awareness to pay much attention to Human characteristics on a global level, just how far removed from those characteristics is our immediate community and even ourselves as parents?

The young Human looks at the parents and then looks at the broader environment against which we as parents are contrasted and compared, and if they don’t match up, then an element of doubt if not outright confusion may set in and begin to grow.

The primary sources of influence are:

The immediate family, parents and siblings
Preschool, middle school and high school
The immediate community

The family, being the first, most abundant and most consistent source of sensory input is critical because of the early development that is taking place during this time period. That development is taking place on all levels; physical, emotional, mental and possibly the spiritual as well, although the spiritual is usually lost in the sensory overload of the material world. But this sets up the early configuration of their mindset concerning their emotional health, mental health and physical health, the basic programming.

This is critical information to have because if we as the parents are inexperienced and immature ourselves, then we will not be prepared to provide intelligently directed guidance for this all important first exposure. Now, having said that, I have to say, relax, almost none of us parents are ever prepared to take on the most important job any Human can undertake as well as the most difficult job in the world. Some parents are naturals and instinctively know the right thing to do at the right time. Remember this last statement because if contains a huge clue to parental redemption.

With this preliminary programming in place the young Human ventures out into the world. Preschool, middle school and high school are where we encounter our first real experience with conflict and confusion. We get exposed to a mind boggling array of input, much of which is in direct conflict with our initial programming and if that programming isn’t solid, that is, if it is not based on sound facts built on sound assumptions, then they may not withstand the scrutiny of the outside world, or even the outside world’s version of the truth.

Then of course there is the community as a whole. The physical, economic and cultural influences come to bear on a subtle level of awareness. We don’t seem to realize how they are influencing us because it occurs slowly over time. It is the background against which our lives are played out. Again, if this doesn’t fit our initial programming we have another source of confusion added to the equation that isn’t balancing.

The Unique Nature Of The Human Life Form

If all that isn’t enough, the last factor turns it all upside down. There is no instruction manual! That critical initial programming we mentioned isn’t a standard one size fits all deal. This means that every effort, every strategy, every trial, every idea will be as different as the individual young Human is different. So many parents never realize that each young Human is unique, and so they never realize why some approach that worked on one doesn’t work on another. This is also why many of the approaches and advise we read about and hear, may not work with our children. If you think that this is like throwing the deck of cards into the air and scattering them as well as the rules of the game, well, maybe.

The Bottom Line

I believe there are a few good basic principles that we can use to guide us as we navigate this always challenging and ever changing landscape.

But first, for those of you who are so ignorant that you perceive your children as accessories to your own life, instead of unique individual life forms who have the same right to be respected as you yourself do, it’s time to wake up and grow up!

A parent is the first and most important model and source of input, but if our actions don’t support our words, then they are both worthless and the young Human can’t rely on us as a good source. This sets them on a course of self doubt and insecurity because remember, they will always see things in terms of their failure or inability, not the parent’s.

By the same token, if we preach good values but don’t live according to those values, they are worthless and will be ignored.

Here are the only things that I have found that can be truly relied upon throughout the long ordeal of raising a new Human life form.

Show them respect. Drop the superiority crap and quit using them to build your own ego and make up for your own weaknesses.
Show (by your actions and sometimes your inaction) that you have faith in them. This means letting go of our beloved control. Let them make their mistakes and make sure they know that mistakes are learning opportunities and not something that reflects badly on them.
Make damn sure you are prepared to express in both word and deed that they have your unconditional love.
Find the courage to demonstrate the two most powerful characteristics, love and compassion. This will introduce them to a lifetime of power of their own.

Above all else, lots of hugs, optimism and positive reinforcement.

Even after putting these into play, when it is all said and done, all we as parents can do is the best we can at any given time, place and circumstance for each individual young Human, and then, hope for the best and let time and the great spirit do their magic.

Good luck our there

Did you know that many, perhaps 75%, of all conventional medications are refinements of herbal medicines? One example of this is the isolation of morphine from opium in 1806. This was the first time that chemical methods were used to extract the active chemical constituents of an herb. The chemical processes used to isolate morphine led to the production of codeine, the widely used cough suppressant. There are countless examples of commonly used medications which come from various plant materials, some of which can often be found right in your own backyard.

Although you should always consult your physician for medical conditions before using any treatment, natural or synthetic, the purpose of this article is to inform you of the various botanically-derived remedies that may be considered for treating some of the most common skin problems. There are many advantages to using herbs rather than the drugs derived from them. A standard medication consists of one, or occasionally two, medically active chemical compounds, plus carrier compounds and a buffer. Herbs and herbal formulas usually contain at least dozens, and in many cases, hundreds, of active ingredients. The many active ingredients act on the body, and on one another, simultaneously. This serves to make the primary active ingredients of the herb more effective. It also serves to prevent the toxic reactions that can lead to side effects. Herbal remedies are more likely to correct conditions without creating additional problems.

Although there are many techniques for making herbal remedies, for the purpose of skin and hair treatments and to simplify the process for home remedy use, I recommend purchasing the herb in the form of its essential oil. Essential Oils are highly concentrated extracts of the herb and can be purchased in small dropper bottles at your local nutrition store or online. Just one drop of essential oil is often equal to 1 full ounce of the plant.

Before applying essential oil to skin or hair, you must ALWAYS dilute the oil first. A carrier (or base) is used for this purpose. The carrier can be a natural oil like olive, jojoba, apricot kernel or similar oil. You could also use your favorite unscented lotion or shampoo or conditioner as a carrier base. I often use organic aloe vera gel as a base for treating skin conditions because of the extraordinary healing benefits of the aloe vera plant. I also prefer the use of aloe vera gel because it is not oily or greasy on the skin.

A good rule of thumb for diluting the essential oil into the carrier base for the purpose of treating a skin ailment is to use about 8 to10 drops of essential oil to 1 full ounce of the carrier base. If you are using more than one type of essential oil, then divide the drops evenly to equal 8 to10 drops total of the various essential oils to 1 full ounce of the carrier base.

Below is a list of 40 herbs, each with its summary of healing benefits. Simply choose between 1 to 3 herbs to use for the particular ailment you are treating and add the appropriate number of drops to your carrier base as explained above. Stir it or shake it to blend the ingredients well and store in a tightly sealed container. Apply it to the affected area 2 to 3 times per day.

Why to decrease body inflammation

Inflammation in the body is a defense mechanism to inhibit the infection to spread in the body. In case of any injury or infection, white blood cells attach to the blood vessels around the infected area, resulting in soreness, redness, and pain. However, many a times, body start treating the healthy tissues as foreign material and tries to kill the same. Thus, triggers an auto immune reaction. Hence, results in chronic inflammation symptoms like Arthritis, Psoriasis, etc.

How to decrease body inflammation

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin, Motrin, Advil, Alleve, etc. are often given to the people with chronic inflammation conditions. All of these are pain relievers. However, do you know they have very dangerous side effects like bleeding in the stomach, increased risk of heart attack and strokes, etc? Moreover, after some time, the body gets used to these heavy medicines and then they all are ineffective.

This is where omega-3 fish oil supplements come into the picture. They are rich source of DHA omega3 fat. Studies have proven that the body can convert DHA to Resolvin D2, which is a very effective anti-inflammatory agent. This means, that taking fish oil supplements can decrease body inflammation naturally.

Other advantages of taking fish oil regularly is protection from heart attacks and strokes, better retaining, comprehending, and vocabulary skills, reduced signs of Autism, Dyslexia, and Bipolar disorder. These supplements can prevent colon, breast, and prostate cancer too.

Now, that you know how to decrease body inflammation naturally, your next step is to look out for an effective fish oil supplement and start taking it regularly. Now because, there are so many supplements available in the market, you have to be cautious not to pick the substandard one. It can do more harm than good.

Below is a short list of parameters, that you may use to take your pick on the best and effective supplements -

1. High DHA content – 1000 mg of oil should at least contain 250 mg of DHA.

2. Pure – supplement should be made from fish caught from pristine waters. It should have under gone molecular distillation, to ensure that it is of pharmaceutical grade quality.

3. Freshness – It should not have a rancid odor instead should smell like ocean water.

4. Reliable – It should be backed by various clinical trials.

5. Cost effective – A bottle of oil, sufficient for one month, should costs less than $20.

To learn more on high DHA, pure supplements that my family and I are taking for a long time, visit my website Omega 3 Brief today. My supplement is a blend of hoki oil and tuna oil. Studies have proven that this mixture is twice more effective in decreasing body inflammation as in comparison to other supplements available in the market.
